De'Von Achane - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

When Will De'Von Achane Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane exploded onto the fantasy football radar in Week 3 when he ran for 203 yards and two touchdowns and scored two more touchdown passes through the air in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. The rookie continued putting up two more consecutive 100-yard games in the next two weeks, […]


Is Christian Watson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Green Bay wide receiver Christian Watson found the end zone again last week in the Packers' win over the Los Angeles Chargers.  Watson has been having a disappointing season after coming into year two with much optimism based on the big-play ability he flashed in the second half of his rookie season. But it has been […]


Curtis Samuel - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Curtis Samuel - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2023)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel has had some big games over the past two years. This year, he finished as the WR10, WR14, and WR23 for a stretch from Week 3 through Week 5. At one point, he was the team's second-leading wide […]


Dolphins Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Jalen Ramsey Fantasy Football IDP

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Fantasy Football Streamers for Week 12 (2023)

If you took my advice in Week 2 and added Dallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland to your IDP team, you would have enjoyed 23 fantasy points this week as he made yet another pick-six, his fourth of the season. Bland is still only rostered in 13% of Sleeper leagues. If you're not rostering and starting […]


George Kittle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been one of the best tight ends in the league every year since he became a full-time starter in 2018, his second year in the NFL. This year has been no different. Kittle is the TE6 […]


Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Start as a flex in 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs missed a lot of time in his rookie season, but when he did play, he looked good, leading some fantasy analysts to project he would be the team's number-one WR in 2023. Probably nothing […]


Zach Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Is Zach Wilson Starting For The Jets In Week 11? Fantasy Football Outlook

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is one of the worst signal callers in the league by nearly any measure. With a 59.9 PFF offense grade, Wilson is the 29th-best amongst qualifying quarterbacks. He has thrown one more interception than he has thrown touchdown passes. He has only completed 59.8% of the passes he has […]


Rondale Moore - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Sleeper Picks Week 11: Bailey Zappe, Tyson Chandler, Quentin Johnston, Rondale Moore

If you had started Texans WR Noah Brown (6-153-1) and Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (9-138-1) in Week 9, you would have won your week and might have finished as the highest scorer in your league. Sleepers can come out of nowhere to have huge weeks. Mitchell, for example, had only played a couple of snaps […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Fantasy Football Streamers for Week 11 (2023)

In Week 10, we saw our share of great defensive performances. The 49ers held the Jaguars to three points in a 31-point victory. Fred Warner and Talanoa Hufanga made interceptions, and Javon Hargrave and Nick Bosa both made 1.5 sacks. The Colts beat the Patriots in an exciting battle of defenses by a score of […]


Deebo Samuel - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

NFL Betting Picks for Week 10 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

The Miami Dolphins have shown once again that they can't score points against top-tier teams. They only scored 14 points in Frankfurt, Germany, and lost to the Chiefs by the margin of a Tyreek Hill fumble that was returned for a touchdown. It's likely they would have lost, anyway, because Patrick Mahomes would probably have […]


Ravens Defense - Fantasy Football DST Rankings, Draft Sleepers, IDP Targets

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10 (2023)

The Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, and Philadelphia Eagles all go on bye in Week 10. That will take some pass rushers fantasy IDP managers have been relying on out of commission, including Chris Jones, Jaelan Phillips, and Haason Reddick. How will you replace them? Take a look at the Week 10 […]


Chris Jones Kansas City Chiefs Defense - Fantasy Football DST, Defense Streamers, Waiver Wire IDP

NFL Betting Picks for Week 9 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Week 8 was a tough week for me. The Panthers got their first win of the year, defeating me on the moneyline. The Cardinals executed an onside kick with 48 seconds left and kicked a last-minute field goal to cut the margin of their loss to the Ravens to less than ten, costing me the […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Fantasy Football Week 9 (2023)

We had a fun Sunday without any byes and with nine games in the 1 pm hour this past week. Now in Week 9, some key IDP players, including Baron Browning of the Denver Broncos, Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers, Aidan Hutchinson of the Detroit Lions, and Josh Allen of the Jacksonville Jaguars, […]


C.J. Stroud - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

NFL Betting Picks for Week 8 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

We are almost at the halfway point, and almost every team has had a chance to lose two games. The two reigning conference champions are the only one-loss teams. The Chiefs have won six straight after losing their first game to the Lions. (Make that seven straight; they play the Broncos this week. Or pick […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 8 (2023)

This week, I am recommending more than a dozen fantasy IDP players to add from the waiver wire. Amongst the top adds are Za'Darius Smith, Camryn Bynum, Kenny Moore, and Julian Blackmon. The Colts have produced multiple productive defensive backs this week. Unfortunately, JuJu Brents left his Week 7 game with a quad injury, so […]


taysom hill fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Should I Pickup Taysom Hill? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

New Orleans Saints offensive weapon Taysom Hill finished as a top-10 tight end for the second straight week. Hill, who is listed as a tight end for fantasy purposes, makes plays running the football, catching passes, and throwing passes. He doesn't always get a lot of touches, but when he does, he pops. Last season, […]


Bijan Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Is Bijan Robinson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been one of the most impressive rookies of 2023. Going into Week 7, he was the RB8 in terms of PPR scoring. However, those managers who started Robinson were surprised when he was barely used in the Falcons' victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finished the game […]


Chase Young Washington Commanders Defense - Fantasy Football DST Streamers, Rankings, Pickups

NFL Betting Picks for Week 7 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

It feels good to be back. I'm refreshed from my off week. I really needed that break after a brutal Week 5. The Ravens dropped almost every key pass and dropped my record on the money line below .500. Their failure to score much also contributed to my first loss on over/under picks. I sure […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7 - Fantasy Football Streamers and Free Agent Adds

Vikings linebacker Jordan Hicks led Week 6 in fantasy IDP scoring in what was a down week. Hicks made 10 tackles, a fumble recovery, an interception, and scored a touchdown. He has scored double-digit fantasy points in each of the past five games. He'd be a strong addition if he's on your league's waiver wire, […]


Jeff Wilson Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Jeff Wilson Jr. A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

The Miami Dolphins have been dominating on offense this season and are on pace to possibly break some records with how often they are putting points on the board. The Fins are the No. 1 highest-scoring offense, and that has led to them having multiple players make the top ten scoring lists for fantasy football. […]


Jaylen Warren - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Is Jaylen Warren A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was a popular handcuff in fantasy drafts this season. The second-year man from Oklahoma State was expected by some to overtake Najee Harris as Pittsburgh's RB1. In his rookie season, he averaged 4.9 yards per carry, and some thought he looked like a better runner than Harris. Those predictions […]


Geno Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Is Geno Smith Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has continued his career resurgence that began last season. Smith has the ninth-highest PFF passing grade. He has completed 68.3% of his pass attempts and thrown five touchdowns to just one interception while leading the Seahawks to a 3-1 record. But Smith left his last game on Monday Night Football […]


Buffalo Bills Defense - Fantasy Football DST Rankings, Draft Sleepers

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6 - Fantasy Football Streamers and Free Agent Adds

Week 6 is coming up, and there are going to be some exciting games and intense defensive matchups. The Cleveland Browns, the NFL's No. 1 defense, face the San Francisco 49ers, the No. 2 offense. Something has to give. The Buffalo Bills defense, which is No. 1 in sack rate, faces the team that is […]


Josh Reynolds - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: Josh Reynolds, Tank Dell, and Raheem Mostert

Week 5 is coming. It is the first week in which some teams will have a bye. Fantasy managers must make tough start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Let's consider Josh Reynolds, Tank Dell, and Raheem Mostert. Reynolds is facing another cat team, the Panthers, but one that has been considerably less successful than the Lions. […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

NFL Betting Picks for Week 5 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

The first week of bye weeks is here. That means we are one-fourth of the way through the season. Let's look at what has changed this early on. For the fourth straight year since 2020, total offense is down. Teams are gaining just 330.6 yards per game versus 359.0 four years ago. For a while […]


Chigoziem Okonkwo - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Should I Drop Chigoziem Okonkwo In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo had an amazing breakout in the second half of his rookie season last year. From Week 9 of 2022 through Week 18, Okonkwo scored double-digit PPR points four times. Over that period, he finished as the overall TE10, and he finished as high as TE3 in Week 14. Okonkwo […]


Justin Watson fantasy outlook

Should I Drop Dalvin Cook In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

Dalvin Cook had run for over 1,000 yards four straight times before this season began. When he signed with the New York Jets, it seemed like the Jets were going to have a dynamic offense with Cook, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately, Rodgers went down with a season-ending injury on his first […]


Should I Drop Brandin Cooks In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

Brandin Cooks has been a 1,000-yard receiver for four different teams. When he joined the Dallas Cowboys, there was optimism that he could add another receiving threat to a team that desperately needed production out of its WR2. But it was not to be. Cooks has only caught eight passes for 66 yards in the […]


Zach Charbonnet - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS and Betting Picks

Is Zach Charbonnet A Good Fantasy Football Pickup For Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet was a popular handcuff in fantasy drafts this summer. The UCLA star was a jack of all trades running the ball. He was drafted by the Seahawks in round three of the 2023 NFL Draft even though they already had Kenneth Walker III. He is still available on the […]


De'Von Achane - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Week 5 NFL Running Back Power Rankings: All 32 Starting NFL RBs

We are almost a quarter of the way through the 2023 NFL season, and we have some surprises at the running back position. Cardinals running back James Conner is tied with rookie sensation Bijan Robinson for No. 3 in rushing yards. There's another rookie who is within 10 yards of Bijan, but it's not the […]
