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 […]

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 […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 7 (2025)

Week 7 should bring the return of George Kittle, which should be a major boost to many fantasy lineups that have been waiting for him. The tight-end position lacks elite options, so losing Kittle was surely a big blow. This week, fantasy managers will need to adjust to Dalton Kincaid being on a bye. Brock […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

We're quickly approaching the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. When looking at your roster, ideally, you have a decent backup running back and receiver that you can use for upcoming bye weeks and any future injuries. After that, fantasy managers should be aiming for upside. Of course, if your starting roster needs […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 7

Saying goodbye is never easy. It's even more challenging if you're saying it to a player you drafted in the early or middle rounds of your fantasy football draft. Sometimes, however, that's exactly what you must do. There have been several disappointing players this season, but with the trade deadline looming, some of these players […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 6 (2025)

Fantasy managers will get Tucker Kraft and Kyle Pitts Sr. back from their bye, but it sounds like they'll need to wait another week for George Kittle to return. Only the Texans and Vikings are on bye this week, so fantasy managers won't be tasked with dealing with too many bye weeks. Only T.J. Hockenson […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

Week 5 was a rough introduction to bye weeks for fantasy managers this past weekend. There were many players who were ruled out on top of missing players like Rome Odunze, Josh Jacobs, and Bijan Robinson to bye weeks. Things won't get any easier moving forward. As the season progresses, injuries will likely continue, and […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 6

With bye weeks now in full swing, fantasy managers may be surprised to see what players they may find on the waiver wire. Sometimes teams get desperate, or injuries force them to cut a player they would otherwise like to keep. It's important to always check your league's transactions and stay up-to-date on the waiver […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 5 (2025)

The tight-end position is filled with dismay and sorrow every year. There are weekly disappointments consistently, and while four weeks is far too early to be calling anyone a bust, there are several tight ends who have yet to live up to their draft capital. Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Travis Kelce, and Mark Andrews have […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

Injuries are part of this game, and it seems as though every year is worse than the last. It's the nature of the beast, and the luck element of fantasy football, which isn't so different than the NFL. The healthiest teams and the ones that can weather the storm are the ones that are still […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 5

With every action comes an equal, but opposite reaction. Everyone remembers Newton's third law of motion, right? He must've anticipated the weekly burden of having to set our waiver claims, because if we want to add a new player, we must drop one. Generally, no one has a problem buying or acquiring something new. It's […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 4 (2025)

With three weeks of data, we can begin to see some real trends at the tight end position. We can examine the data trends to determine which tight ends we should bet on and which ones we should steer clear of. The tight end position is always the most difficult to read. We'll be looking […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 4

Welcome back to the Cut List for Week 4 of the 2025 fantasy football season. When it comes to the waiver wire and who we cut, we want to be bold, but not too reactionary. It's a fine line to walk. If we ignore concerning data points, we end up holding onto players too long […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

It was another difficult week for fantasy managers on the injury front. CeeDee Lamb suffered what appeared to be a high ankle sprain. Mike Evans left the game with a hamstring injury. Najee Harris appeared to have torn his Achilles, and James Conner was carted off due to an ankle injury. That was after all […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 3 (2025)

The tight end position can be one of the most challenging and frustrating for fantasy managers to figure out. There are often not many good options, and the differences between players can be incredibly small. And they don't often show up where we'd like to think they would. When it comes to other positions, more […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

The waiver wire is arguably the most important tool that you have. While we focus so much on our drafts, oftentimes it's the waiver wire that can make or break our fantasy football season. It's crucial that you are active on your waiver wire. To do this, you need to have a good pulse on […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 3

Welcome back to the Cut List for Week 3 of the 2025 fantasy football season. When it comes to the waiver wire and who we cut, we want to be bold, but not too reactionary. It's a fine line to walk. If we ignore concerning data points, we end up holding onto players too long […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 2 (2025)

The tight end position is a much more difficult one to decipher for fantasy football enthusiasts. That's because so often a touchdown can be the difference between finishing as a top-five tight end for the week and finishing outside the top-15. The difference between TE9 and TE20 can be incredibly small. In fact, the difference […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Free Agent Adds and Stashes (2025)

What an amazing start to the NFL season. Between the Chargers and Chiefs game on Friday, and that epic Sunday Night game with the Bills and the Ravens! As you watch highlights and coaches talk about week one, you'll often hear "it's a marathon, not a sprint." That same holds true for our fantasy season. […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 2

The opening week of NFL games is in the books, but it’s important we’re not too reactionary. Bad games happen. Flukey stuff happens, and when it occurs in the first week, it’s far more exaggerated, because we don’t have any other data to say, “yeah, but…”. So, as we look forward to this year’s first […]

Week 1 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups and Stashes - After The Draft (2025)

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to our Week 1 fantasy football waiver wire pickups and stashes for 2025! It’s officially NFL season. Sure, no games have been officially played yet, but fantasy football drafts are (almost) all in the rear-view window, and now, we are all patiently waiting for the season to get officially underway.

Rob Lorge's League-Winning Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: 3 Must-Have Draft Picks (Part I)

In fantasy football, we're always chasing upside. We want league winners, guys who can be difference-makers. The reality is, there are only about 15 of these players in any given year. This series will focus on nine receivers - three in this edition and the remaining six in the final two editions - who are […]

Overvalued Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: 3 Potential Big-Name ADP Busts (2025)

Too often, fantasy managers "love" or "hate" a player, and sometimes we get "take lock." What does that mean? It's when a fantasy manager's opinion on a player remains unchanged despite new information. Fantasy managers should strive to stay as fluid as possible in their drafts and when forming opinions on players. How we view […]

Rob Lorge's League-Winning Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (Part III)

This series has focused on receivers who are likely to outplay their ADP significantly and thus should be targets for everyone in their fantasy football drafts this year. The term "league-winner" gets thrown around too frequently. While someone like Keon Coleman, whom we'll discuss in this article, may not have the goods to be a […]
