We've all felt the urge to rage-drop a particular player. Our emotions can sometimes get the best of all of us. However, when we're making waiver wire moves, they should be calculated and purposeful. Unfortunately, every new addition comes with a cost. Especially early in the season, we want to be confident in who we're […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks. Unfortunately, Week 2 has been the opposite. It's been filled with awful weather, low-scoring contests, and more injuries than fantasy managers would like to count. The injuries will likely create a busy waiver week as teams scramble to find replacements. There may not be any league winners on the […]

The tight end position is often the noisest for fantasy football. It's incredibly common for random no-names to finish in the top 10 on any given week. Because of the lack of options and the position's general scarcity, fantasy managers often get caught chasing yesterday's points. On the surface, adding a tight end who had […]

Fantasy managers always need to be careful not to overreact to Week 1. This is especially true this year because games are averaging 53.3 points per game, not counting Monday Night's contest. Six games finished with more than 60 points. 10 teams had more than 65 snaps. These kinds of stats can overinflate the box […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks, with multiple games eclipsing the 60-point threshold. It'll be important for fantasy managers to weed through some of that and realize not all box scores are what they appear. This article breaks down my Week 2 fantasy football waiver wire pickups and stashes. Each position is broken into four […]

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to our Week 1 fantasy football waiver wire pickups and stashes for 2026! We're inching closer and closer to real NFL football. On August 30th, NFL teams will be required to be down to 53 players, so we'll likely see some movement in the next few days. There will be […]

Who doesn't love a confident "this is my dude" kind of statement? Every year, there are a handful of players everyone just happens to fall in love with, and what's beautiful about this made-up game is how many different opinions are out there. This article is all about puffing your chest out, digging your heels […]

This is the final entry into this three-part series. You can read the first entry here and the second entry here. One thing you'll notice if you've read them both is that we're continuing to move down the receiver rankings in terms of ADP. By doing so, your chances of finding a "league-winner" decrease. That's […]

Fantasy managers should always be on the lookout for upside and potential. These are the players that we should be targeting endlessly. Now, will they all become "league-winners"? Well, now that is up to your definition of the term. The reality is league-winners are rare. However, these players provide fantasy managers with plenty of upside […]

Upside. League-winner. Ceiling. These terms, especially in June and July, are thrown around far too often. Once August rolls around, however, and the pads go on, the term shrinks in its use. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be on the lookout for any player with this kind of potential. Potential. That's another frequently used buzzword, […]

The 2026 NFL Draft is officially completed, and with it, rookie fever is officially in full bloom. Rookies, by virtue of never having played a down in the NFL yet, have never had the chance to disappoint any fantasy manager. That often leads to eternal optimism. Fantasy managers often ask, what could be? Being optimistic […]

Every kind of mock draft is different. Is it trying to predict what will happen? What should happen? There are many ways to write a mock draft. If you're attempting to predict what will happen... good luck. It's incredibly difficult, and the task is even more daunting in March. This article won't attempt to do […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

We are now just two weeks away from the start of the fantasy football playoffs. This article will identify six tight ends with positive matchups during the fantasy football playoffs (Weeks 15-17) and six tight ends with negative matchups during the fantasy football playoffs. The tight end position is one where fantasy managers often stream […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
