IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 3 (2024)

It's only two weeks into the season, and already entire teams are being decimated by injuries. IDP stars like Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr., or Bills linebacker Matt Milano haven't even seen the field yet. 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 […]

Juwan Johnson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

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. Last season, his production decreased. In Week 1, Johnson was only the fourth-leading Saints' receiving target. He had just […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 2 (2024)

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. There were also surprises, lineup changes, and injuries that shattered our Week 1 expectations. As we try to recover and fix our lineups for Week 2, here are my […]


Rams DST - Fantasy Football Defense Rankings, Streamers, Starts

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. There are still some unanswered questions. When the Rams traded their leading tackler, Ernest Jones IV, to the Titans for just a 2026 […]


Chuba Hubbard - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

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 […]


Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Will Puka Nacua Play in Week 1? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua set the rookie records for receptions and receiving yards, and there was a lot of excitement about his prospects going into this season.

Jahan Dotson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Jahan Dotson Traded to Eagles - Fantasy Football Impact and Outlook

Former Penn State receiver Jahan Dotson has been traded from the Washington Commanders to the Philadelphia Eagles. Dotson was drafted No. 16 overall in 2022, but he has been disappointing so far both in terms of fantasy production and real-life value added. He will look for a fresh start on his former team's division rival. […]


CeeDee Lamb - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Will CeeDee Lamb Play In Week 1? Fantasy Football Offseason Rumors

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb led the league in receptions and finished as the WR1 in PPR last season. This season, the Cowboys say they are "all in," but is Lamb in for the ride? Lamb is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal, and he is holding out until he […]


Chase Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Chase Brown vs. Zack Moss – Who Should I Draft In 2024 Fantasy Football?

Fantasy football managers are closely watching the Cincinnati Bengals' backfield. The Bengals should have a high-scoring offense, but it is an open question who will be their primary running back after the team got rid of Joe Mixon. The Bengals added former Colts running back Zack Moss in free agency and have Chase Brown entering […]


Dak Prescott - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Will the Cowboys Trade Dak Prescott After the 2024 NFL Season? Fantasy Football Trade Rumors

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott put up MVP-caliber numbers in 2023, but he choked in the Wild Card round, ensuring the Cowboys suffered yet another early playoff exit. Heading into the 2024 season, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says they are "all-in." But what will come after 2024? Prescott's contract expires at the end of the […]


Travis Kelce - Fantasy Football Tight Ends You Must Have in 2024

Re-Drafting The 2013 NFL Draft: An Entire First Round Do-Over

The 2013 NFL Draft was loaded with hidden gems and a couple of future Hall of Famers. But very few of the best players came early in the draft. Travis Kelce, for example, wasn't drafted until the third round. He might have gone later if head coach Andy Reid didn't already have a relationship with […]


Rhamondre Stevenson Signs Extension With Patriots: 2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Rhamondre Stevenson disappointed fantasy football managers last year after having a huge season in 2022. Now, Stevenson has signed a big contract extension with the New England Patriots. How will this affect his fantasy value in 2024? Even if fantasy managers value Stevenson less after his dud of a season in 2023, the Patriots value […]


Time To Hang It Up: Five NFL Quarterbacks That Should Retire Before The 2024 Season

This spring, one of the NFL's best backup quarterbacks of this generation chose to hang up his cleats. Teddy Bridgewater helped the New Orleans Saints win a third-straight division title in 2019, winning all five of his starts while Drew Brees was injured early in the season. He did not throw any passes last season, […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football - Five 2024 NFL Draft Losers To Buy Low On

Will Levis was supposed to be a top-three quarterback last season, but he spent the whole first day of the draft watching uncomfortably as he was passed over. Now, he is a starting quarterback for the Titans who holds potential value in Superflex and dynasty leagues. Draft capital is the best predictor of NFL production, […]

2024 NFL Draft - Michael Penix Jr. Best Landing Spots and Team Fits

Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has been shooting up the draft boards. After finishing second in the Heisman voting and leading Washington to a College Football Playoff National Championship berth, Penix has the eyes of NFL scouts.

Will Zach Wilson Start for the Denver Broncos in 2024? NFL Trade Outlook

Zach Wilson was one of the most highly touted quarterbacks of the 2021 NFL draft class. After leading all independent schools in pass completions, completion percentage, passing yards, yards per attempt, and passing touchdowns in 2020, Wilson was picked No. 2 overall by the New York Jets. But Wilson's poor play soon caused the Jets […]

2024 NFL Mock Draft - Second Round Mock

Everyone is focused on the first round of the NFL Draft, but we already know who is going to be picked No. 1 overall. There is still more mystery about what will happen in the second round. There will still be strong players on the board on April 26 when Day 2 of the NFL […]

Will Justin Jefferson Hold Out This Offseason? 2024 NFL Contract Outlook

Justin Jefferson is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He's also not under contract beyond the end of the 2024 football season, and he has been trying to get a new contract done. Many players looking for a better contract end up holding out for part of the offseason or even into […]


Zach Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

The Four Longest Active Playoff Droughts in the NFL

Last season, the Detroit Lions ended a six-year playoff drought. They won the division for the first time since 1993 when the NFC Central included the same four teams of the NFC North plus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A heartbreaking second-half collapse in the NFC Championship Game meant that they would extend their streak of […]

Let's Get Defensive: Biggest Defensive Player Signings/Trades

The 2024 free agency season has been full of drama and surprises, and not just at quarterback and running back. Top-tier defensive talents like Danielle Hunter, Christian Wilkins, and Patrick Queen have changed teams. These moves will have huge impacts on the teams involved going into the 2024 season and on IDP fantasy football projections. […]

Five Worst NFL Contracts For The 2024 Season

When the NFL free agency legal tampering period begins on March 11, every team is going to be trying to upgrade as many positions as possible.

Will Justin Fields Be A Starter in 2024? Trade Market Reporteldy Quiet For Bears QB

Where will Justin Fields play for in 2024? Fields, who leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards since 2022, was considered a top trade candidate since the Chicago Bears landed the top pick in the draft. But so far, there has been little interest in the Ohio State product, and some of the Bears' potential trade […]


Blake Corum - Fantasy Football Rankings, College FB, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers

Early Look At The 2024 RB Rookie Class For Fantasy Football Dynasty Leagues

The 2024 rookie running back class isn't as good as last year's class. After two running backs were picked in the top 12 in 2023, some analysts are projecting there won't be a single running back picked in the first round. There's no clear-cut number one like Bijan Robinson was last year. Rankings are fluid. […]

Who Do The Dallas Cowboys Play Next Season? List Of Dallas' 2024 Opponents

The Dallas Cowboys ended the 2023-24 season in disappointment, getting blown out in the Wild Card game of the playoffs after going 12-5. Heading into the 2024-25 season, the pressure is on. If Mike McCarthy is unable to make a Super Bowl push for the fifth straight season, he might be on his way out. […]

Who Do The Philadelphia Eagles Play Next Season? List Of Philadelphia's 2024 Opponents

The Philadelphia Eagles will be trying to return to the Super Bowl in 2024-25 after a hiccup last season. The Eagles began last season looking extremely strong, but they fell apart as the season went along. In addition to changing their offense and maintaining consistency, the Eagles will also need to have some luck with […]

The 2023-24 NFL season has ended, and the Kansas City Chiefs have (yet again) been crowned the Super Bowl champions. That means it is time to start thinking about and debating who will make the playoffs in 2024! A lot is still unknown about how each team will look in September. The draft is still […]


Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

NFL Betting Picks for Conference Championship Round - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Will Brock Purdy become the first late-round quarterback to make it to the Super Bowl since Tom Brady? The 49ers made it this far last year only to be stymied by a nightmare sequence of quarterback injuries. It's time for them to put those memories in the past. In the AFC, the quarterback battle is […]

Free NFL Betting Picks for the Divisional Round - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Last season, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy became the fifth rookie quarterback to make it to a conference championship game. Will C.J. Stroud be able to do the same?

Free NFL Betting Picks for the Wild Card Round - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

We've seen eighteen weeks of NFL football. In theory, we should know who the best teams are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how they match up. But it's never that easy, is it? The Bills are the best team in the league if you look at their NFELO ranking, and the Ravens are […]
