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. Thankfully, the bye weeks are all finished. Unfortunately, injuries are piling up. Therefore, in my fantasy playoffs RB strength of schedule rankings, I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 13. In Week 12, the Cleveland Browns' pass rush decimated the Las Vegas Raiders for 10 sacks, and Myles Garrett advanced closer to the record. With three sacks, he pushed his total to 17.0 sacks on the season, breaking his own […]

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 […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 12. We will watch to see if Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett can make history. After four sacks against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11, Garrett is on pace for 25.5 sacks on the season. He could break the single-season […]

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, […]

With the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints going on bye this week, I have scoured the league for your best replacement options. Injuries are piling up, and for some of these picks, you will have to follow the injury […]

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 […]

As running backs get ground down taking hit after hit, injuries are piling up. Many teams are down to their second or third running backs. Some backup RBs have been putting up good fantasy numbers. In this article, we will see if Kimani Vidal, Kyle Monangai, or Devin Singletary should be started in fantasy in […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10. I know it might be hard to believe, but the Cincinnati Bengals do have a defense, and some of their players are quite good for IDP fantasy football. A strong offense plus a terrible defense means both teams will be […]

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, […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9. When I drafted my IDP fantasy football team in my home league, I picked a Lions player at DL (Aidan Hutchinson), LB (Jack Campbell), and DB (Brian Branch). Well, now they all go on bye in Week 9, and, with […]

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 […]

While New York Giants fans have not savored many victories the past two years, they have had reason to be excited about young stars like RB Cam Skattebo, WR Malik Nabers, and QB Jaxson Dart. Unfortunately, Nabers and Skattebo have both gotten injured, and the Giants must turn to replacements to try to give Dart […]

The Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears both won on Monday Night Football in Week 7. The Bears fought a back-and-forth battle against the Washington Commanders and came out on top, 25-24, while Luther Burden III led the team in receptions with four for 51 yards. The Falcons took an early lead over the favored Buffalo […]

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. Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Kameron Johnson scored his first touchdown of his young career. The Arizona Cardinals' Zay Jones, meanwhile, had a season high in a game that went down […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 7. I hope you took my advice and added New England Patriots defensive back Marcus Jones to your IDP fantasy football team. Jones made a sack and five tackles as the Patriots beat the New Orleans Saints. Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 6. The craziness continued in Week 5 of the NFL season -- the two last remaining undefeated teams lost, making this the earliest point in the season with no undefeateds since 2014. Nik Bonitto (three sacks) led a ferocious Denver Broncos […]

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. With his effectiveness in the receiving game, Warren has averaged over 90 yards from scrimmage so far this season. Fantasy managers were surprised, however, to […]

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 […]

Aaron Jones Sr. rushed for a career-high 1,138 yards in his first season as a Minnesota Viking, setting up expectations that he could continue performing as a low-end RB2 in the 2025 season. Unfortunately, Jones suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. When will Jones return to action, and what is […]
