Fantasy Football Lessons - What I Got Right in 2025

With the Super Bowl and the entire 2025 NFL season now in our rearview mirror, there is no better time to look back and see what I got right and what I got wrong. Last year, I wrote the weekly "Cut List" and "Weekly Waiver Wire" article for RotoBaller. I also wrote several offseason articles […]

Fantasy Football Lessons - What I Got Wrong in 2025

Truth be told, 2025 was one of my roughest fantasy football seasons in recent memory. If you play fantasy football long enough, these types of years are unavoidable. It was just a few years ago when I looked back, and it seemed as though I was Nostradamus in the summer. Looking back, this year was […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

It's officially championship week! It's the final week of the fantasy football season, which also concludes our weekly dance with the waiver wire. The days of stashing handcuffs are now done. The days of stashing anyone are now over. At this stage, if you're one of the two teams still playing for something, you have […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 17

Welcome to Championship Week. Since there are no more fantasy football games after this final week, the waiver wire rules are different from what they've been compared to the rest of the season. All those handcuffs that we've been holding just in case the starter got hurt, well, if the starter isn't hurt, those handcuffs […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 16 (2025)

Two more wins. That's it. That's all that's left on the to-do list. That's how close we are. Can you taste it? It's right there in front of us. You can almost reach out and touch it, but the job isn't done yet. No, all the hard work you've put into the season can be […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

We are now two weeks away from crowning a fantasy football champion. Two more victories. That's all that stands between us and immortality, or at the very least, year-long bragging rights. This week brought several running back injuries, which could create a busy waiver wire week. However, it doesn't seem that many of the injuries […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 16

There are only two weeks left of the fantasy football season. Most leagues are in the semi-finals of their playoffs, playing for a berth in the championship. While some fantasy managers consider making what some call "grenade drops", defined as dropping players who are widely viewed as talented but who have been highly disappointing, I've […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 15 (2025)

We're officially in the first round of the fantasy playoffs—every decision matters. Every point matters. Tight end can be a difficult position to get right week-to-week for fantasy managers. We'll check in on Harold Fannin Jr.'s breakout and talk about Dalton Kincaid's elite efficiency season. How worried should fantasy managers be with Brock Bowers and […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

Welcome to the first week of the fantasy football playoffs. It's officially Week 15, and I hope that if you're adding this, your team is dancing and in the playoffs, and if so, congratulations. Making the playoffs is the hard part. It's taken 14 grueling weeks, but now, it's win or go home. There are […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 15

Welcome to the first round of the fantasy football playoffs! Hopefully, if you're reading this, you've made it to the dance. Ideally, you may even have a first-round bye. Now that we're officially down to one-week seasons. It's win-or-go-home, so every decision matters. The margin of error is now minimal. When you're cutting a player […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 14 (2025)

Week 14 is the final week of the fantasy football regular season. For many teams, the outcome of this week will determine if they make the playoffs or potentially receive a first-round bye. The results of this week are significant. The margin for error is minimal. In some cases, after this week, records will be […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 14

We officially have one more week of the fantasy football regular season and, amazingly, one more week of bye weeks. Now, though, with just four weeks left, it should be fairly easy to identify what your starting lineup would look like for each of the remaining weeks, assuming everyone stays healthy. You should have a […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

Week 14 is the final week of the fantasy football regular season. Plenty of playoff spots are still up for grabs. If you're one of those teams still alive for a playoff spot but who have yet to secure one, you are playing for your life, so your waiver moves should reflect that. If there's […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Weeks 15-17 (2025)

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

We're now just a few weeks from the fantasy playoffs starting, and fantasy managers should be shoring up their rosters. This should include reviewing their starting lineups for upcoming weeks and identifying streamers at quarterback, tight end, and defense, if you're streaming those positions. Try to have one backup running back and a backup receiver […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 13

At this point in the season, when looking to cut someone, fantasy managers should ask themselves, "Is there any scenario in which I'd be okay starting this player?" If the answer is no, they're completely cuttable. If the answer is yes, then you must ask how likely that scenario is. You also need to consider […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 12 (2025)

After years of not scoring touchdowns, Trey McBride now seemingly cannot stop. He's absolutely running away from the other tight ends and is now the clear and undisputed TE1. Jake Ferguson is the TE6 on the season. Kyle Pitts Sr. is the TE21. Ferguson's half-PPR PPG average is closer to Pitts's than it is to […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 12

It was just pure carnage out there in Week 11. There were so many injuries. Injuries, byes, and suspensions! Xavier Worthy and D.J. Moore have certainly played their way onto the Cut List, but with the number of receivers currently projected to be out for Week 12, it's almost impossible to cut either player despite how disappointing […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

It seems we've waited forever for a strong waiver wire week, and we may finally have it. Unfortunately, any good waiver wire is often the result of several injuries. The Arizona, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh backfields all suffered injuries that could force backups into more prominent roles. We also saw emerging running backs in Jacksonville […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

We're in the home stretch of the fantasy football regular season. If you do not have a playoff spot solidly wrapped up, you should already be looking at your lineup for Weeks 12-14 and identifying where you'll be weak. If it's at tight end, find someone on the waiver wire with a good matchup that […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 10 (2025)

The big news this week at the tight end position revolves around the Tucker Kraft injury. After weeks of missing Brock Bowers and finally getting him back, fantasy managers have now lost Kraft for the season. This will send many fantasy managers reeling. There is no replacing Kraft. It simply cannot be done. Well, unless […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

This week is the NFL's trade deadline, and with it, we could see several fantasy-relevant players change teams. That will obviously affect their fantasy value, but it'll also indirectly affect the fantasy values of many other players. The deadline is this Tuesday, so we'll know who is going where before waivers run this week. Jakobi […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 10

We're over the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. Players such as Brian Thomas Jr. and Terry McLaurin are in the midst of lost seasons, and that was made worse when both sustained injuries. Fantasy managers are likely dying to cut both players, but I'd rather IR them if you have the opportunity. […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 9 (2025)

We are entering the second half of the NFL season, and the tight-end position has once again become a cluster. There are about four good ones. Maybe George Kittle or Oronde Gadsden II will ascend into that elite tier. The latter is certainly playing like it. However, this position has become a large group of […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

Congratulations to those of you who managed to escape Week 8 with a victory despite the many injury issues and the fact that six teams were on byes. Managing such weeks can be incredibly difficult. It's why, despite our constant obsession with upside, it's also essential to have 1-2 players on our bench who are […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 9

Last week, I practiced patience with players who have been disappointing, but who are primary starters on good offenses. This week, we're changing our tune a little bit. There are three players listed in this week's edition who fit that very set of criteria. I also talked about not cutting rookies drafted early in this […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 8 (2025)

This week, we'll be talking about several tight ends likely on your waiver wire who are starting to make noise. Oronde Gadsden, Dalton Schultz, Colston Loveland, Cade Otton, and Evan Engram are showing signs of being usable players in the next few weeks. Does that mean they'll become weekly starters? Most likely not, but few […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

We are roughly at the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. By now, the standings are likely beginning to separate into the haves and have-nots. If you happen to find yourself on the wrong side of the standings, you should be more willing to switch up your roster. Getting wins in the short-term […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 8

We're at the halfway point of the fantasy football season, and fantasy managers are likely eager to get rid of dead weight. Many players have been disappointing this season. Despite their struggles, I'd still encourage you to hang onto players like D.J. Moore, Jameson Williams, and Brian Thomas Jr.. They are full-time starters and have a history of […]
