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 […]

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.

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

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.

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 […]

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson made a big impact in the first game of his career, as he touched the ball 20 times and gained 93 yards from scrimmage in the Browns' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

6 Crowded Fantasy Football Backfields To Avoid: Potential Running Back Draft Busts (2025)

Acquiring a strong bellcow running back is one of the best ways to win your fantasy league. But in the modern NFL, workhorse RBs are few and far between. Most backfields are committees.
