The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 9
Through seven weeks of NFL football, the 43.4 total points per game average is the lowest it has been since 2010.

In recent years, fantasy managers seemed to be... Read More

Another week of NFL football, another edition of the Cut List. One of the biggest mistakes I see fantasy managers make is not making enough moves. Don't be afraid to be wrong.

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 7
Tight end is a dreadful, empty position and because of that, I understand – to some extent – the appeal and rush to get Taysom Hill on your fantasy rosters after his Week 5 explosion. However, as appealing as those boom weeks are, the reality is he’s simply not playing enough. We touched on that... Read More
Fantasy Football Injury Reports For NFL WRs: Week 7 Updates for Marquise Brown, Keenan Allen, Michael Thomas, and Rashod Bateman

Hollywood was providing his fantasy managers with high-end WR1 production and while he'll return again this season, there... Read More

However, the real reason... Read More

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 6?
In recent seasons, it feels as though the NFL is becoming more and more pass-heavy with each passing – ha! – year. This 2022 NFL season has certainly given off some different vibes, however.

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 5
Holy T.J. Hockenson! With Amon-Ra St. Brown, D.J. Chark, and D'Andre Swift all out of the lineup, Hockenson was given 12 targets from quarterback, Jared Goff.

We've all heard the, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" statement, but no fantasy football roster is ever perfect. Fantasy managers should constantly be tinkering with the bottom of their roster.
