Raiders vs. Broncos Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty, Courtland Sutton, JK Dobbins, Troy Franklin, RJ Harvey, Bo Nix, Tre Tucker

Well, the Thursday Night Football streak of quality games is officially over. After the Baltimore Ravens beat the Miami Dolphins by a score of 28-6, it marked three of the last four Thursday games that were decided by more than 17 points. With the Denver Broncos coming in as large favorites, will we have another […]

Ravens vs. Dolphins Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Jaylen Waddle, De'Von Achane

As the 2025 NFL season moves along, we might expect to get a primetime game or two from time to time against teams with 2-5 and 2-6 records, but the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins are not your average also-ran teams. Baltimore is favored to win their division in many sportsbooks, while the Dolphins just […]

Vikings vs. Chargers Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Justin Jefferson, Jordan Mason, Jordan Addison, Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey, Kimani Vidal, Quentin Johnston

Just when you thought Thursday Night Football was going to disappoint, they bring you Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco last week, who combined for 81 years and 64 points in a turn back the clock kind of night. Can Justin Herbert and Carson Wentz bring some of that offensive magic to this Week 8 Thursday […]

Steelers vs. Bengals Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown

I am quite sure that the NFL schedulers did not expect this Week 7 Thursday Night Football game to feature two quarterbacks whose combined age is the same as Mick Jagger, but here we are. Aaron Rodgers (41 years old) and Joe Flacco (40) will face off in an AFC North battle with their teams […]

Eagles vs. Giants Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, Theo Johnson

If ever you needed more evidence that the wild and wacky always occur on Thursday Night Football, look no further than last week. The junior varsity San Francisco 49ers outlasted the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in a game that gave us many strong fantasy football performances. For Week 6, we have two games with […]

If you didn't get your fill of NFC West football last Thursday night, I've got some good news for you! In Week 5, we get the other two teams in the division as the San Francisco 49ers travel to face the Los Angeles Rams. For fantasy football, some of the game's elite performers are suiting […]

Seahawks vs. Cardinals Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet, Trey Benson, Kyler Murray, Trey McBride

You never know what you're going to get on any given Thursday Night Football game. Last week, the Bills were 12.5-point favorites against the Dolphins before kickoff, but the game stayed within one score for 59 minutes and 38 seconds. It wasn't until a Bills field goal with 22 seconds left that Buffalo put the […]

Dolphins vs. Bills Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De'Von Achane, Joshua Palmer, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid

This week's matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins has a very high implied total. Will that matter? Over the years, we have seen a lot of different variations of Thursday Night Football. Some games are mind-numbing punt-fests while others are offensive explosions. But the one thing you never want to see, especially for […]

Commanders vs. Packers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Zach Ertz, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Austin Ekeler, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Terry McLaurin, Romeo Doubs

I'm not quite sure that Week 2 Thursday Night Football can come close to matching the entertainment that we had with the kickoff game last week. After Spit-Gate, a lightning delay, one amazing half of offensive football, and one amazing half of defensive football, something really strange would have to happen this week between the […]

Cowboys vs. Eagles TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, George Pickens, Dallas Goedert, Jake Ferguson, Javonte Williams, Jaydon Blue, Jalen Hurts

The 2025 NFL season and the fantasy football season kick off on Thursday night when the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys.

The 2024 season was an outlier in running back injuries, which led to massive scores from all the top running backs.

Fantasy Football Discounted Veteran Running Backs to Target in 2025

Running backs are often considered the foundation, the backbone, of any fantasy football roster.

But most leagues require two starting running backs, and there are only […]

Playing the waiting game on a handcuff closer in fantasy baseball can be risky.

Injuries are also beginning to mount, which is causing upheaval in […]

One thing that will always be true about fantasy baseball is that your team will constantly need help from the waiver wire.
