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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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

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.

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

Time to Drop Dylan Sampson? Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

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. But since then, he's been a non-factor. His production has declined in each subsequent week, and the […]

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.

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.

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.
