RB Fantasy Football Playoffs Strength of Schedule - Best/Worst Running Back Matchups

If you've made it this far in fantasy football and are still competing for a title, congratulations. The rest of the push is tougher. In many leagues, the playoffs start this week.

Trey Benson - Fantasy Football Rankings, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers,

Is Trey Benson Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 15)

The clock is ticking for Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson to return to the field. The Cardinals' playoff hopes have already been extinguished, and if Benson doesn't return to the active roster soon, he'll be shelved for the rest of the season. Will Trey Benson play in Week 15, and will he make a […]

Is Sam LaPorta Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 15)

The Detroit Lions have gone 2-2 without tight end Sam LaPorta in the lineup the past four games. The 24-year-old tight end was one of Detroit's key pass catchers, and he hasn't been easy to replace. In his absence, fantasy managers have not had a productive Lions tight end to rely on. Can fantasy managers […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

Is Omarion Hampton Playing Today? Week 14 Monday Night Fantasy Football Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton was one of the most electrifying rookies before he got injured in Week 5. Before fracturing his ankle, Hampton had run for 314 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 4.8 per carry. Hampton's practice window has opened and is quickly approaching his return. Will he return in Week 14 […]


Justin Herbert

Is Justin Herbert Playing Today? Week 14 Monday Night Fantasy Football Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was playing "MVP-caliber" football in the first half, including throwing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 1 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Throughout his first seven games, Herbert averaged just over 270 passing yards per game and held a 13:6 TD:INT. But as often […]


Trey Benson - Fantasy Football Rankings, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers,

Is Trey Benson Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 14)

Arizona running back Trey Benson had been leading the Cardinals in rushing yards per game until he hurt his knee in Week 4. After his practice window was opened up, fantasy managers eagerly anticipated his return, but he has yet to take the field. Will Benson play again this season? Should fantasy managers stash him […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 14 Fantasy Football (2025)

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 14. One of the misuses of the English language is how we call a low-scoring football game a “defensive struggle.” I happen to think both defenses in the Seahawks vs. Vikings game, particularly Seattle, played pretty well. It was the offenses […]


Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Will Joe Mixon Be The Texans Starting RB Next Year? 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon has yet to see the field after suffering a non-football injury this offseason. The likelihood that Mixon returns this season is rapidly decreasing, but the star running back is still under contract for 2026. Will Mixon be back before the end of the season, and if not, will he […]


Kyler Murray - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Is Kyler Murray Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 13)

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray hasn't played since Week 5 when he suffered a foot sprain against the Tennessee Titans. Murray had been underwhelming as a passer, but his rushing ability made him a viable second quarterback in superflex leagues. With the fantasy football playoffs approaching, managers are wondering when Murray will return and whether […]


Chris Godwin - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injuries, DFS

Should I Pickup Tez Johnson or Chris Godwin? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered many injuries to pass catchers and to their quarterback leading up to their Week 13 clash against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Mike Evans broke his clavicle while going for a deep ball in Week 7, and fellow WR Jalen McMillan hurt his neck in the second preseason game. […]


Buffalo Bills Defense - Fantasy Football DST Rankings, Draft Sleepers

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 13 Fantasy Football (2025)

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 13.

Sam LaPorta - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Sam LaPorta Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 12)

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had one of the best rookie seasons for a tight end in history in 2023. While he has remained extremely productive, he has not quite returned to those same heights in his sophomore season, nor so far this year. A back injury caused LaPorta to miss Week 11, a […]

Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Joe Mixon The Starting Running Back For The Texans When He Returns? Week 11 Injury Update

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon had a huge season in his first year with the Houston Texans after a seven-year career with the Cincinnati Bengals. In 14 games last season, Mixon ran for 1,016 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. His touchdown total and yards per carry average were both the second-best of his career, […]

Quentin Johnston - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quentin Johnston, DJ Moore, Jauan Jennings: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 10

Trying to settle on receivers to start in fantasy football can be difficult. Week in and week out, different receivers will shine. Many teams have no clearly defined WR1. In this article, we will consider three wideouts who play for star-studded teams and have to share their volume with others. So, should fantasy managers start […]


Kimani Vidal - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Kimani Vidal, Kyle Monangai, Devin Singletary: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 10

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - Kyle Monangai, Trey Benson, Kareem Hunt Fantasy Football Outlooks

In Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season, Chicago Bears rookie Kyle Monangai came out of nowhere to lead the league in rushing. Many other running backs made a big impact. Some lesser heralded backs found the end zone. Others remain on the fantasy radar as they rehab from injuries suffered earlier this season. So, […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9 Fantasy Football (2025)

Dylan Sampson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Should I Pickup Dylan Sampson or Jerome Ford? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

Quinshon Judkins has proved to be an effective running back for the Cleveland Browns after missing most of training camp and Week 1. A shoulder injury knocked him out of the game against the New England Patriots last weekend, and now it's uncertain when he will be back. If Judkins misses time, which Browns running […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - Kameron Johnson, Christian Watson, Zay Jones Fantasy Football Outlooks

Many wide receivers like Kameron Johnson and Zay Jones are experiencing increased production as they step up in the wake of injuries their teammates suffered.

Jaylen Warren - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

When Will Jaylen Warren Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 5 (2025)

Pittsburgh Steelers' running back Jaylen Warren has been a relatively efficient runner, and there was much excitement about what he might do as the Steelers' lead back going into 2025.

Tre Tucker - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Time to Drop Tre Tucker? Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker blew up in Week 3, making eight catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns. He already has more touchdowns this season than he did in either of his first two seasons. But Tucker followed that massive week up with a dud. In Week 4, he hauled in just […]
