Predicting which skill-position player Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid's gameplan will favor is a form of whack-a-mole, but it's a game in which fantasy managers have to dabble. Yet again, the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champs are atop the AFC, with Reid's offense regularly cooking up innovative ways for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and their […]

We're down to the home stretch of the fantasy regular season, and with six teams (yes, six) on a bye this week, injuries are going to be an even bigger deal. Waiver wires and free-agent pickups are likely to be competitive with some lineup regulars on injury reports this week, including Brock Purdy, CeeDee Lamb, […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: Since the Pittsburgh Steelers inserted Russell Wilson into the lineup, they're a perfect 4-0 and running the show in the AFC North -- but it hasn't necessarily been great for the fantasy stock of tight end Pat Freiermuth. The tight end is averaging just 2.5 […]

As fantasy regular seasons hit the home stretch, success in the next month is going to be tied to how well playoff-contending rosters can make up for bye weeks and injuries. It's a big week for fantasy receivers, especially, as Nico Collins, D.K. Metcalf, Darnell Mooney, Brian Thomas Jr., and Davante Adams, among others, are […]

In Week 10, there are big questions facing fantasy managers who are hoping for good news on dynamic players as they make a push for the playoffs. Will we finally see Christian McCaffrey? Can Nico Collins return to the form he showed prior to his injury? Is rookie Jonathon Brooks ready to make his NFL […]

Dread it, run from it, the injury bug arrives all the same. Now in Week 8, virtually everyone's fantasy roster has been impacted one way or another. This week, we'll find out the status of key players throughout the NFL, including Jayden Daniels, Tua Tagovailoa, Tee Higgins, Diontae Johnson, and Jonathan Taylor, among others.  To […]

Many fantasy football leagues play 14-week regular seasons, which means that we are officially at the halfway point after Week 7. Fantasy success this season has been largely tied to how well a roster avoided injuries to its top players, as high draft picks like De'Von Achane, Jonathan Taylor, Anthony Richardson, and James Cook are […]

With four teams taking their bye this week, injuries continue to be a major factor as leagues already near the halfway point of fantasy regular seasons. Managers' benches and waiver wire adds are getting tested, as major contributors like Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon, Malik Nabers, Anthony Richardson, and James Cook, among others, head into Week […]

For fantasy football managers who are seeing injury designations up and down their rosters, to quote Yogi Berra, it's getting late early. Week 5 brings a new cycle of injury news, this time involving running backs Jonathan Taylor and Joe Mixon, wide receivers Malik Nabers and Davante Adams, and tight ends Trey McBride, George Kittle, and David […]

On the injury front, there is no such thing as a quiet week. Quite a few significant fantasy players carry injury designations into Week 4, including quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Jordan Love, wide receivers A.J. Brown and Davante Adams, and tight end Trey McBride. As news continues to trickle in on game day, make sure […]

Two games into the NFL season, it already seems like every team in the league is missing somebody notable. Naturally, that will have a trickle-down effect for fantasy managers heading into Week 3. Injury reports are filled with stars this week, ranging from Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin […]

Week 2 of the NFL season has arrived, and, predictably, teams and fantasy managers alike are facing roster decisions as big-time players deal with injuries.  This week features quite a few fantasy regulars on injury reports, including San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, and Seahawks running back Kenneth […]

It’s here. The NFL season is off to a running start with two games in the books and the majority of NFL teams set to play their first game of the season on Sunday, which means fantasy managers need to be on top of player news before setting their lineups. The first week includes quite […]

One of the most common mistakes that investors make is assuming that past performance will predict future results. In fantasy, that sentiment extends to quarterbacks, where many people have many strong opinions about who is bad and always will be.  But things aren’t always so static for fantasy quarterbacks. Geno Smith went from seven years […]

There is an excellent reason that so many NFL futures come with highly enticing lines: They’re really difficult to predict correctly. For a league in which 50% postseason turnover is commonplace -- in 2017 and 2018, two-thirds of playoff teams did not make the postseason the prior year -- predicting the NFL hierarchy in any […]
