Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

There’s nothing worse than having a turkey at the tight end position! Sorry for the Thanksgiving-related lead. Sometimes I cannot help myself. The fact is that there is something for fantasy football players to be thankful for besides sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. No NFL teams are on bye for the first time in a […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Jarvis Landry, Calvin Ridley, Bo Scarbrough

The last couple weeks I have been picking the perfect busts in this column. Unfortunately, they have been for the busts AND the booms. It is time to stick my feet back in the stirrups in the saddle and ride fantasy footballers to playoff berths in their leagues and hundreds of dollars in their DFS […]

Week 12 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

With fantasy football leagues only a couple weeks away from their playoffs, this is not the time for teams to be short a tight end. Not only do fantasy footballers have no Travis Kelce or Hunter Henry during this crucial week in their fantasy seasons, they do not get to take advantage of using a […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Philip Rivers, Devin Singletary, O.J. Howard

Fantasy football players are going to have to go under the radar to find booms and busts this week because many of the NFL’s superstars will be on bye. Fantasy footballers will not be getting any Aaron Jones touchdown runs or Daniel Jones touchdown tosses this week, nor will they be getting any 300-yard passing […]

Week 11 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

If your fantasy football squad is still in the playoff hunt heading into Week 11, then congratulations on not being the Pat Shurmur or Freddie Kitchens of your league. Fantasy football players will have to live without New York’s Evan Engram, Green Bay’s Jimmy Graham and Tennessee’s Jonnu Smith as their teams are on bye. […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - O.J. Howard, DeVante Parker, Cole Beasley

The fantasy football talent pool is a lot thinner this week than usual, as bye weeks take out nearly a fifth of the NFL teams from Week 10 play. With those half-dozen teams getting a week off, fantasy footballers will have to do without Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Phillip Lindsay, Courtland […]

Week 10 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

Week 10 is not a week for faint-of-heart fantasy football players. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week. In fact, it is the only week during the NFL regular season that six squads are off, and it comes when the fantasy season is in its most crucial stage. Fantasy players will have to live […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill

The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]

Week 9 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

Week 9 will not be an easy week for fantasy football owners or tight end lovers. Four NFL teams are on bye this week, and the tight ends who will be out of action are prominent and valuable. Atlanta’s Austin Hooper, who has been a top-5 tight end throughout the season, is the marquee name […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Corey Davis, Curtis Samuel, Mohamed Sanu

No Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson this week? No problem! Fantasy football players might need to make do without one or more of their superstars this week due to the dreaded bye week putting the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys on a one-week vacation. Daily fantasy contest players will also have […]

Week 8 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

A two-team bye week is a lot easier for fantasy football players to navigate than a four-team bye week. Fantasy owners are going to have to live without Dallas’ Jason Witten and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews in Week 8. If you have one of the those players as your starting tight end, the problem is that […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Joe Mixon, John Brown, Calvin Ridley

Will Week 7 be a lucky week for fantasy football players? Fantasy players will not have to worry about Jameis Winston throwing interceptions, Baker Mayfield missing receivers by miles, or backup quarterbacks ruining JuJu Smith-Schuster’s fantasy value thanks to their teams being on bye. Fantasy players will still have to win by picking the perfect […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers – Week 7

Another week, another four teams on bye in the NFL. Fantasy football players are going to have to make due this week without Carolina’s Greg Olsen, Tampa Bay’s O.J. Howard and Pittsburgh’s Vance McDonald, not to mention Seattle’s Will Dissly, who was injured this past Sunday. It could be a worse week for fantasy players […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts: Week 6 Lineups

Week 6 will be a test for fantasy football players and owners. This the NFL’s first bye week of the season where more than two teams are off. The good news for fantasy players is that the four teams on bye – Chicago, Indianapolis, Buffalo and Oakland – are not exactly loaded with explosive offenses […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers – Week 6

If you have Oakland’s Darren Waller as the top tight end on your fantasy football team, then you are going to need a replacement this week. This is the first four-team bye week of the season, so not only will fantasy owners be without Waller, they will also have to go in other directions if […]

Under-The-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 5

One month of the NFL regular season is in the books! I hope for your sake you have been using more booms than busts in your fantasy football lineups. The best news for fantasy players this week is that the lowly Miami Dolphins are on bye. If you have been using Josh Rosen, Kenyan Drake, […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

There will not be a stampede of fantasy players searching for tight ends this week. The Week 5 bye teams will not really kill any fantasy owners at the tight end position, as Detroit’s injured / inconsistent rookie T.J. Hockenson and Miami’s underwhelming Mike Gesicki are the two starting tight ends off. That does not […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts: Week 4

There are going to be a few familiar fantasy football faces missing this week, and not because of injuries. The first week of byes are upon us, fantasy folks! If you own any New York Jets (if so, I feel sorry for you) or San Francisco 49ers, you will need to find other alternatives to […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

There are millions of fantasy football owners who probably need a tight end this week, one that can somehow replace one of the best tight ends in the NFL. The first bye week is upon us, and many fantasy owners will take a J.J. Watt-like hit at the tight end position because San Francisco’s George […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts: Week 3

Now that every quarterback in the NFL is now injured, sick, retired or benched, finding the right booms and busts might be the only way some fantasy players can win this week. If things are not difficult enough for fantasy players, this is the last week before teams starting taking time off for the dreaded […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

There is no need to panic if you are a fantasy football owner and you are not happy with the tight ends on your fantasy roster. There is no shortage of available tight ends on free agent lists and waiver wires in fantasy leagues this early in the season. Since no teams have gone on […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts: Week 2

One week down, 16 more to go! I am currently basking in the glow of my under-the-radar boom picks of New England’s Phillip Dorsett and Buffalo’s John Brown from last week’s column, while trying to forget that I also told the world that New York Jets receiver/ghost Quincy Enunwa would go bonkers against the Bills. […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

If you drafted the wrong tight end in your fantasy football league, you came to the right place! Now that every league’s draft/auction has been conducted and we are through the first week of NFL action, the tight end free-agent pool is now officially open for business. If it has taken you just one week […]

Under-The-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 1 Lineups

The NFL season is here, which means the fantasy football season is here, too! One of the key ways to winning championships in fantasy football leagues and money in one-day fantasy contests is by finding under-the-radar players who have big weeks. Another way to win is to avoid the under-the-radar players who look like they […]

Week 1 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Most fantasy football drafts are in the books, but that does not mean everyone has their Week 1 tight end on their roster. Were you the one wishing Baltimore’s Mark Andrews would fall to you and instead you got stuck with Detroit’s Jesse James? Did you pat yourself on the back when you drafted New […]

Craig Rondinone's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football

Go bold or finish in last place in your fantasy football league. That’s what I always say. The crystal ball has been dusted off, the tarot cards have been shuffled and the spirits of fantasy football seasons past have been summoned to clue me in on what’s in store for the 2019 NFL campaign. There […]

Dynasty Showdown: Evan Engram vs Dallas Goedert

Is New York’s Evan Engram going to be more valuable than Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert this year and in the coming years in dynasty fantasy football leagues? This intriguing question will be about as easy to answer as why we park in driveways and drive on parkways. Engram is coming off an injury-plagued season where he […]

Target Regression Candidates - Tight End

Fantasy Football Rule No. 271: A pass-catcher cannot catch passes unless he is targeted. The “target” was not a stat I remember fantasy football players worrying about in the 1990s or early 2000s, though. It was not a stat on a tight end’s line when you checked his numbers in the box score or on […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2019 - Wide Receivers (Part 2)

The fantasy football stock market for wide receivers has no offseason. There were so many wide receivers to talk about whose fantasy stock in dynasty leagues has either skyrocketed or plummeted this offseason that I had to split it into two columns. This is what happens in the pass-happy NFL these days. Whether it is […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Wide Receivers (Part 1)

The stock market in fantasy football is always turbulent, especially during the offseason when draft choices, free-agent signings, blockbuster trades, coaching changes and off-the-field soap operas can change a player’s fantasy value instantaneously. The NFL has the longest offseason of the four major American sports, which means there are more months for a player’s fantasy […]
