Zach Thompson

1102 articles

Zach has been covering fantasy sports across multiple platforms and websites since 2008, and he's been playing fantasy sports since the late 90s, when he totaled the fantasy scores from the box scores in the newspaper. He has covered a variety of sports from a fantasy perspective, including the main ones like baseball, basketball, golf, football, and hockey, while also jumping into some more exotic options like Australian Rules Football and rugby. Basically, any sport that has a fantasy format--he'll play it! Even though he grew up almost 8,000 miles away in Guam, he was raised a diehard Boston sports fan. After playing soccer competitively throughout high school and college, Zach now lives in central Massachusetts with his wife and four children. He attends as many games in as many sports as possible and has found a passion for watching minor league baseball and tracking player development. Zach specializes in finding bargain plays from obscure spots, and nothing is sweeter than when a low ownership bargain option carries your fantasy team to the win!

Yves Missi Will Be Questionable Friday vs. the Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (ankle) is considered day-to-day, according to coach Willie Green, who added that the big man will be listed as questionable for Friday's home opener against San Antonio. Missi started and played 23 minutes on Wednesday night in the Pels' loss to the Grizzlies, finishing with five points, seven rebounds, […]

When Will Ricky Pearsall Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 8 (2025)

The 49ers have dealt with multiple key injuries this season, but they are still 5-2 through seven games and locked in a three-way tie for the top spot in the NFC West. They have started to get a few players back from injuries suffered early in the season, but are still waiting for top wide […]

7 Running Back Committees With Upside: Key Fantasy Football Takeaways for Week 8

Each week, many teams in the NFL rotate their running backs in a committee setup to take advantage of the strengths of each running back and keep players fresh and rested to carry the load over the long haul. While the situation can be a great opportunity for fantasy football managers with more players involved, […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups - Oronde Gadsden, Harold Fannin Jr., Juwan Johnson Fantasy Football Outlooks

Week 8 is the biggest bye week of the year, with a huge total of SIX teams getting the week off. With everyone's roster stretched thin, it's an important week to show off your depth or come up with a creative solution really quickly. One position where many managers may need help is at tight […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups - Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Chris Moore Fantasy Football Outlooks

Every week in the NFL, more players go down with injuries, and with six teams on a bye for Week 8, you may need to get creative with your roster management. Even the best plans for your roster can unravel in a hurry, but don't worry, some new options are entering the mix as well. […]


Jaylen Brown Questionable for Celtics Season Opener

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is questionable for Boston's season-opening matchup with the 76ers. He strained his hamstring in the final game of the preseason but has been able to put in consecutive full practices. He said he's feeling great now but is taking it one day at a time. which is a great […]


Tari Eason Not Signing His Rookie Extension with the Rockets

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason appears to be lined up to be a restricted free agent next offseason, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, who reports that the rookie did not sign his rookie extension before Monday's deadline. When healthy, the Bucket from the Bayou has shown a high ceiling, but he has battled a leg […]


Max Brosmer Could Be an Option to Start For the Vikings on Thursday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer could be the team's starter on Thursday night, when they visit the Chargers on a short week. Carson Wentz (shoulder) has started the last four games for Minnesota, but he was banged up again in the team's loss to the Eagles on Sunday. If he can't recover in time for […]


Tyrod Taylor a Better Fit for Jets Offense?

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields could be in jeopardy of losing his starting job after another rough outing on Sunday against the Panthers. Before the game, coach Aaron Glenn dismissed any discussion about a change at quarterback, but then, midway through the game, Tyrod Taylor came on in place of Fields. Neither QB led […]


Chris Godwin May Not Play This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) missed his team's Week 7 loss to the Lions on Monday Night Football, and even though he's recovering, head coach Todd Bowles didn't seem confident that the veteran receiver will be ready to return in Week 8 against the Saints. With a bye week in Week 9, […]


Jaxon Smith-Njigba Continues Elite Production

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had eight catches for the third straight week and finished with 123 yards and a touchdown in his team's 27-19 win on Monday over the Houston Texans. JSN has been one of the top receivers in the league this year, and Sam Darnold continues to give him plenty of […]


Bucky Irving May Not Play This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is progressing in his recovery from both of his injuries, but he may not be quite ready to return just yet, according to head coach Todd Bowles. The Bucs are on a short week before visiting the Saints in New Orleans, before heading into their bye […]


Michael Penix Jr. Expected to Be "Good to Go" for Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (leg) is dealing with a bone bruise in his lower leg, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, and the second-year QB should be "good to go" for Sunday's home game against the Dolphins. Penix and the Falcons are looking to bounce back from a 20-10 loss on Sunday Night […]


Jaylin Noel Posts Best Totals of the Season on Monday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel stepped in for Christian Kirk (hamstring) on Monday night in Seattle, and the rookie posted four catches for 77 yards. The 77 receiving yards were the highest total of all of Houston's wide receivers in the game and a new personal best for the third-round pick from Iowa State. […]


Woody Marks Scores Late in Monday's Loss

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks led the backfield in carries on Monday Night Football, and even though he wasn't very efficient, he saved his fantasy day with a late touchdown as a receiver. Marks played 61% of snaps and had 10 of the team's 15 running back carries against the Seahawks. He only had […]


Mason Taylor Draws Five Targets in Jets Loss

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor bounced back a little bit from a one-catch game in London, hauling in three of his five targets on Sunday for 31 yards. The second-round pick played 93% of the snaps for the Jets and has been almost an every-down option for New York the last few weeks. […]


Jaxson Dart Posts Huge Game in Mile High Disappointment

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was in a tough road matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 7, but his final numbers were excellent. He threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns while adding a fourth score on the ground with 11 rushing yards. Dart was one of the top scoring quarterbacks of the […]


Chimere Dike Breaks Out vs. the Patriots

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike stepped up with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined on Sunday against New England. The fourth-round pick from Florida played a season-high 57% of snaps and caught all four of his targets for 70 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Dike has multiple catches in three straight games and five of […]


Tez Johnson Scores for the Second Straight Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson continued his strong string of performances with a nice game against the Lions, and he could be lined up for more work going forward as well. Johnson had four catches for 58 yards and a touchdown against the Lions and finished with nine targets, which was tied for […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Remains a Top-10 Kicker on Monday

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has made 11 of his 13 field-goal attempts this season and all nine of his extra-point attempts. He and the Texans return from their bye week to face the Seahawks on Monday night, so he'll be kicking outside in the weather. Both of his misses this year have come from […]


Texans D/ST a Solid Start in Seattle

The Houston Texans defense remains a solid top-10 option as they head to Seattle for a matchup against the Seahawks in the second game of Monday Night Football's Week 7 doubleheader. The Texans have done a great job this season, allowing no more than 20 points in any game this season. They had a shutout […]


Dalton Schultz is a Low-End TE2 against Seattle

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a solid PPR producer over the last few weeks, but he isn't a great option against the Seahawks in the second game of the doubleheader on Monday Night Football. Schultz has 21 catches on 27 targets for 186 receiving yards this season, with at least three catches […]


Jayden Higgins Poised for a Breakout Game?

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins had the best game of his rookie season just before the team's bye week, and he'll look to pick up where he left off as he returns to the field in Seattle on Monday night. He'll get a boost in Week 7 from Christian Kirk (hamstring) missing another contest, […]


Jaylin Noel in Line for a Bigger Role?

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel could be lined up for more work this week when the Texans visit the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Noel is the most direct replacement for Christian Kirk (hamstring), since both operate primarily out of the slot. Noel played 17 and 15 snaps the first two weeks of the […]


Xavier Hutchinson Looks to Build on Two-Touchdown Performance

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson hadn't scored a touchdown in his first two seasons, but he found the end zone twice in Week 5's win over the Ravens. The Iowa State alum will look to build on that career day when he returns from his bye week to face the Seahawks on Monday night. […]


Nico Collins Remains a Top WR Option on Monday Night Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the go-to option for the Texans, and he remains a strong starter in all formats as the Texans come back from their bye week and visit the Seahawks as the late game on Monday night. Collins has found the end zone in three of his last four games […]


Is Dameon Pierce in the Mix for the Texans in Seattle?

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce played a season-high 16 snaps and had seven carries for 21 yards in his team's last game before the bye week. However, it was his first game being active since Week 1, and all his work came in the fourth quarter of their blowout win over the Ravens. With […]


Will Woody Marks Take Over Houston's Backfield in Week 7?

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks had a breakthrough game in Week 4, dominating the Titans for 69 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns. He looked every bit the part of an every-down feature back, but then against the Ravens in Week 5, he only had 24 yards on seven carries […]


Nick Chubb Can Still Be a Fringe Flex Play vs. the Seahawks

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb will be back on the field on Monday night against the Seahawks after his team's Week 6 bye. Chubb went into the bye week with a strong performance, totaling 61 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Ravens on just 11 carries. He has seen his snap share start […]
