Tyjae Spears - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Tyjae Spears Out for the Season? Fantasy Football Outlook and Injury Update (2025)

Injuries have dogged Tennessee Titans’ running back Tyjae Spears for his entire career. He had already torn his ACL twice—in both high school and college—before entering the NFL. After a promising rookie season, Spears missed five games and saw his production decline while dealing with ankle sprains and hamstring pulls. As we enter Week 1, […]

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. Still, some teams, like the Detroit Lions, can produce two starting-caliber fantasy running backs. Many backfields are difficult to predict, however. While […]

8 Fantasy Football Sleepers to Target in Drafts - Breakout Candidates at WR, RB, QB (2025)

Last season at this time, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was drafted in the eighth round or later in most fantasy drafts. He ended up gaining 1,350 yards from scrimmage while scoring 11 touchdowns, finishing as the RB10. We’re all looking for the next sleeper to help us win our leagues this year. Will […]

8 Fantasy Football Second-Year Breakouts: Sophomore Risers at WR, RB, and QB for 2025

Identifying breakout players is key to winning your fantasy football league. Every year, some unexpected players pop up and deliver spectacular results that help win leagues. Last season, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba nearly doubled his yardage from 628 yards to 1,130. Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had a breakout during the second half […]


2025 Fantasy Football Early-Round Best Ball Busts, Overvalued

First-Round Fantasy Football Draft Picks to Avoid: 3 Overvalued Players (2025)

Fantasy football drafts are underway, and the mistakes you make now will haunt you for the rest of the year. At this time in 2024, people drafted Christian McCaffrey No. 1 overall in most drafts. After getting four mediocre games out of CMC, 97% of those who rostered him in ESPN fantasy leagues missed the […]

5 Rookie Running Back Sleepers: Undervalued RBs to Target and Draft

Sleeper running backs can make a big impact in fantasy football even if they lack draft capital. Last season, fourth-round pick Bucky Irving and fifth-rounder Tyrone Tracy Jr. both finished as top-26 running backs. Twenty-five running backs were drafted in this year’s extremely strong draft class. While the big names are getting the most attention, […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft For Dynasty Leagues: 12 Team, Single-QB (Post-NFL Draft)

As the 2025 NFL Draft ended, fantasy football managers are getting started jumping into mock drafts and rookie drafts in their dynasty leagues. There’s a clear consensus at No. 1. Everyone is taking Ashton Jeanty. The top four picks are all pretty much a consensus: Omarion Hampton, Tetairoa McMillan, and Travis Hunter in this order, […]

2025 NFL Draft Winners - 13 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers at All Positions

The NFL Draft sends shockwaves through the dynasty fantasy football landscape. If too much new competition for targets and carries comes in, the value of your players could tank. But if a better supporting cast steps up alongside your guy, they could rise significantly. In this year's NFL Draft, we saw a little bit of […]


Mike Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Wide Receiver Free Agency Risers, Fallers: Fantasy Football Outlooks (2025)

The 2025 NFL free-agent receiver market looked like the 2021 fantasy football leaderboard. Former triple crown winner Cooper Kupp, perennial top-5 finisher Davante Adams, and playmakers Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins all changed teams. Seattle’s longtime duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are both gone. The one star receiver still in his prime who […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Price Check - Brian Robinson Jr. 2025 Outlook

As a rookie, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was one of the inspiring stories of the 2022 NFL season. Despite being shot twice in the lower body during a robbery, Robinson recovered to make his debut in Week 5 and rushed for nearly 800 yards. Robinson's fantasy ceiling was limited as a rookie […]

In Week 16, Kenny Moore made two interceptions, Taron Johnson and Marlon Humphrey both had a pick-six, and Joseph Ossai, one of my waiver-wire picks, was one of four Bengals to make a sack against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 17, I have more players who are sure to sack Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson on […]

If you faced Josh Allen (362 yards, four totals touchdowns) or Jared Goff (494 yards, five touchdowns) this week, or worse, both, then you might not be interested in reading this column, as you probably don’t have anything to play for in Week 16. That is unless you started Derek Stingley (two interceptions), T.J. Watt […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 14 (2024)

In Week 13, we saw a revenge game for Seattle’s Leonard Williams against the New York Jets; Chargers rookie Tarheeb Still humiliating an old man in Atlanta, as he accounted for two of Kirk Cousins’ four interceptions; and T.J. Watt doing his part to help the Steelers defeat the Bengals, with two sacks and a […]

Are you one of the fantasy managers who plays in a league whose playoffs begin in Week 13 or Week 14? Did you complain to your manager that teams are on bye in Week 14? Don’t complain. Read this column instead. In Week 12, I had to suffer through sack leader Trey Hendrickson sitting on […]

Kwity Paye came up big in the Indianapolis Colts’ comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 11, making seven tackles, two sacks, and forcing a fumble. With their second straight loss, the Jets fell to 3-8, tied for last place in the AFC East and in position to draft a QB. Alas, there […]

The usual names are absent from the leaderboard for sacks. T.J. Watt, who led the league in sacks in two of the past three seasons, is only No. 12 this season. Maxx Crosby is tied with Watt with 6.5 sacks. Nick Bosa is barely hanging onto the top twenty with just 5.5 sacks in 2024. […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9 (2024)

T.J. Watt showed on Monday Night Football what an individual defensive player (IDP) can do for you. Making seven tackles and two sacks, including a strip sack that killed a late fourth-quarter Giants drive, Watt helped many fantasy managers come from behind to win. I can’t guarantee you’ll get the same kind of production from […]

Headed into Week 7, fantasy IDP managers are reeling from injuries that occurred this past weekend.

The biggest hit will be to managers starting Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson, who looks […]

Trey Sermon Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon caught six passes last week and put in a top-ten weekly performance in PPR leagues. Fantasy managers who picked him up off the waiver wire are hoping he will have a prominent role again in Week 6, but an injury revealed on the practice report could keep him out […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5 (2024)

Bye weeks are upon us. In Week 5, fantasy managers will be without Aidan Hutchinson and his Lions teammates, Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa of the Chargers, Eagles' breakout linebacker Zack Baun, and Titans' star pass rusher Harold Landry.

Week 3 of fantasy and gaming hit like a nuclear bomb with upsets bringing down the 49ers, Browns, and Raiders. The Bengals' loss to the Commanders brought down the last remaining contestants.

It's only two weeks into the season, and already entire teams are being decimated by injuries.

In Week 2, a slew of injuries hit, including Jets' edge Jermaine […]

Joe Burrow - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB17 ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, but a tough matchup combined with a lack of cohesion for the Cincinnati Bengals early in the season makes him a sub-optimal choice at starting QB in Week 2. The Bengals […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE15 ANALYSIS: Juwan Johnson emerged as the New Orleans Saints' primary receiving tight end in 2022 when he caught 42 passes for 508 yards and seven touchdowns.

The first week of NFL football was everything we hoped it would be. There was pregame drama, comeback victories, games decided by inches, and overtime thrillers.

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Defensive Streamers for Week 1 (2024)

This preseason has given us hints about how some teams might deploy their defenses, hints that could help us make last-minute waiver wire adds in IDP fantasy football before the season starts.

Should I Draft Chuba Hubbard or Miles Sanders for Fantasy Football? Who Is The Panthers RB1 for 2024?

The Carolina Panthers made Jonathon Brooks the first running back off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft, but they already had two running backs with starting experience in Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders. Sanders made the 2022 Pro Bowl, but Hubbard is younger and came on strong last season. Brooks ran for 1,139 yards […]
