Week 5 was a rough introduction to bye weeks for fantasy managers this past weekend.

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.

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 […]

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to our Week 1 fantasy football waiver wire pickups and stashes for 2025! It’s officially NFL season.

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 […]

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

We all want league winners, but the reality is that there are only 15 or so players who qualify as such in any given year. Short of drafting legit league-winners, we want to be drafting guys with significant upside at their cost. In the first entry of this series, three receivers were identified that fantasy […]

10 Quick Fantasy Football Takeaways from the Thursday and Friday Preseason Games

Preseason games aren't the end-all, be-all, but they're not nothing either. There is information that we can take away from the games that take place, despite the limited snap counts for starters. It is important not to overreact - positively or negatively - to any singular piece of information. The other thing we need to […]

Best Fantasy Football Fits for the Remaining Free Agent Wide Receivers

Free Agency has been going on for over a week now. The best free agents have already been signed, making the pickings a little slim if teams are looking for any immediate impact players. That doesn't mean there aren't some quality players left available who could be fantasy-relevant in the right situation. In this article, […]

Three-Round Post Free Agency 2025 NFL Mock Draft

NFL Free Agency has been up for more than a week, and very few impact players are left available. Because of that, any player a team signs from now until the NFL Draft is unlikely to alter their draft-day plans significantly. However, the early portion of free agency can substantially impact which players and which […]

Fantasy Football Rankings For Every Team's Pass-Catchers (WR/TE)

The NFL has become a passing league. It's been like that for a while now; it's no mystery. Wide receivers and tight ends are some of the most popular players in the league. For fantasy football, we have continued to emphasize receivers more than running backs. NFL general managers are doing the same. For goodness […]

Tight End Fantasy Football Breakouts from Last Year - 2025 Outlooks

Once the NFL season is over, it's always interesting -- and helpful -- to look back at the season that was and see what we can learn from it. In this entry, we'll review the tight-end position for 2024 and identify three breakout tight ends. First, we must define what a breakout is. For this […]

Najee Harris's Fantasy Football Potential is Super-Charged in LA

The heart of the NFL Free Agency is already behind us. Minor deals will be made from now until training camp, but the big fish have been signed. We've also seen several trades go through, and there will likely be more, especially as we lead up to the NFL Draft. However, Najee Harris, the former […]

Who Has the Most Fantasy Football Value to Gain and Lose in Free Agency

Free agency gets started later today with the legal tampering period. However, deals cannot be officially signed until Wednesday. Still, we won't have to wait long before news of future deals is reported. Not surprisingly, free agency can significantly impact fantasy football value. A good player can become a great one in the right system. […]

Best Fantasy Football Landing Spots for 2025 Rookie Wide Receivers: NFL Trades and Free Agency Impact

With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, the ramifications of where some of these players get selected will significantly impact their fantasy football value. In dynasty leagues, fantasy managers may not worry about landing spots as much because once you draft them in that kind of league, you have them for their entire career if you […]

2025 NFL Mock Draft: Best Case Scenario for All 32 Teams

Predicting the first round of the NFL Draft is a futile exercise. The “best” mock drafts have a hit rate lower than Anthony Richardson's completion percentage, which probably explains why so many are floating about. Here, we won’t be trying to predict the future of the 2025 NFL Draft. Instead, we will be doing an […]
