Zach Thompson

1302 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!

Dalton Schultz Remains a Fringe Starter Despite Tough Matchup

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been extremely consistent this season, getting plenty of volume for PPR leagues. He has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games and has 20 targets from backup QB Davis Mills over the last two weeks. Mills will make another start against the Bills on […]


Jayden Higgins Still a High-Risk Play Despite Growing Role

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins has stepped into a larger role for the Texans since his Week 6 bye week. He is still a high-risk play against the Bills on Thursday Night Football, though, especially with Davis Mills filling in for C.J. Stroud (concussion). Higgins has gotten seven targets in each of Mills' first […]


Nico Collins a Top-10 Receiver Even With a Backup Quarterback

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has at least seven catches in each of his last three games and is coming off a big game last week against the Titans. He had nine catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown, while working with Davis Mills since C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still sidelined. […]


Nick Chubb Fading From Fantasy Football Relevance?

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has played a reduced role in the last few weeks, and it's hard to trust him this Thursday night, even in a favorable matchup against the Bills. Chubb played only 18 snaps (26%) in Week 11 against the Titans and had just three carries for 17 yards. It was […]


Woody Marks is a Fringe RB2 Against the Bills

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks seems to be grabbing most of the work in his team's backfield, and he'll be a good flex option on Thursday Night Football against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs, and the Bucs' Sean Tucker lit the Bills up for three […]


Davis Mills Set for His Third Straight Start

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will make his third straight start for the Texans after helping his team past the Jaguars and Titans the last two weeks. He'll face the Bills on Thursday night, stepping in for C.J. Stroud (concussion), who is still not ready to return. Mills has put up solid numbers in both […]


Sean Tucker - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Draft Sleepers, Draft Rankings

7 Running Back Committees With Upside: Key Fantasy Football Takeaways for Week 12

Week 12 continues the stretch run of playoff races in most fantasy football leagues, and as you get your team tuned up and ready for the sprint to the finish, be sure to have the horses in your backfield all ready to run. Especially at running back, the landscape shifts around the league each week, […]


Emanuel Wilson - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Rankinks, Draft Sleepers

Should I Pickup Emanuel Wilson or Chris Brooks? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

The Green Bay Packers have relied heavily on Josh Jacobs this season, and he's been one of the most consistent running backs in the NFL. On Sunday against the Giants, he went down with a knee injury, which could open the door for new options to get more workload in Week 12 against the Vikings […]


Jonathan Kuminga Remains Out Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will miss his third straight game this Tuesday while battling bilateral knee tendonitis. Kuminga's absence will allow players like Moses Moody, Will Richard, and Buddy Hield to get more work against the Magic in Orlando. Kuminga got off to a strong start before battling soreness in both his […]


Keegan Murray Could Make his Season Debut This Week

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) has been cleared for five-on-five, contact practices, and he could be ready to join the team's rotation later this week. The Kings assigned him to the G League for practice as he ramps back up after injuring his thumb in the preseason. The team hopes he can return during […]


Caris LeVert Liston as Out on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (ankle) will not play on Tuesday when his team finishes a back-to-back on the road in Atlanta. He played just 17 minutes on Monday and had eight points and eight assists. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Bucks. While he's out, Cade Cunningham (hip), Ausar Thompson […]


Tobias Harris Could Return Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is nearing a return, and he was listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks in Atlanta, along with Cade Cunningham (hip) and Ausar Thompson (ankle). On Monday, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that Harris had no timetable for return, but now it looks like that timetable could be […]


Ausar Thompson Questionable Again on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been sidelined for four straight games with an ankle sprain, but he seems to be nearing a return after moving well in Monday's shootaround before being ruled out along with Cade Cunningham (hip). Both starters are questionable for Tuesday night in Atlanta as the Pistons look to extend […]


Cade Cunningham is Questionable Tuesday in Atlanta

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has missed the last three games for his team, which has stayed hot in his absence, extending their winning streak to 10 games by beating the Pacers on Monday. Cunningham could return for the second game of the back-to-back, and if he does, he'll probably resume his heavy […]


Shedeur Sanders Worth a Look on the Waiver Wire?

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his long-awaited NFL debut on Sunday against the Ravens, but the rookie struggled mightily, completing only four of his 16 pass attempts for 47 yards with an interception and adding three rushing attempts for 16 yards. With starter Dillon Gabriel working through the concussion protocol, Sanders should get most […]


Brock Wright Sets Career-High in Targets; Lined Up for More Work?

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright was targeted seven times on Sunday night against the Eagles, but he only hauled in two catches for eight yards. It was a new career-high for the veteran in his fifth season out of Notre Dame. Wright was in a bigger role with SamLaPorta (back) on IR, and he […]


Does Brandon Aiyuk Make a Good Waiver-Wire Stash?

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is over a year removed from his injury and should be nearing a return based on the team's expectations coming into the season. However, he still hasn't had his 21-day practice window opened, and that won't happen this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. While he's […]


Is Blake Corum Getting Enough Opportunities?

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to get significant opportunities in the team's rushing game, and he can be a deep-league addition if you're looking for running back options on the waiver wire. Corum only had 10 rushing yards in Week 11 against the Seahawks, but he still did get eight carries while […]


Should You Add Jaleel McLaughlin in His Growing Role?

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin should be in a key timeshare for the surging Broncos for the next several weeks after the significant injury to J.K. Dobbins (foot). McLaughlin had only been active for one game and had just one carry all season until last week against the Chiefs, when he took six carries […]


Christian Watson Is a Great Grab from the Waiver Wire

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could be set up for a few weeks as the team's top pass-catcher before the potential return of Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) from IR. In his growing role, he makes a nice addition if he's on the waiver wire in your leagues. The fourth-year receiver from North Dakota State […]

Is Jayden Higgins Now the Texans Second Receiver?

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins finished second on the team with 55 receiving yards on Sunday against the Titans, hauling in four of his seven targets. The rookie played 43 snaps compared to 37 for Xavier Hutchinson and 36 for Christian Kirk, getting slightly more work than the two more experienced options. Higgins also […]


Dalton Schultz Continues Strong PPR Production

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz remains a PPR stalwart, hauling in six passes on nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. Schultz was second on the team in targets and catches behind only Nico Collins, and he has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games. His […]


Woody Marks Serves as Texans' Lead Back in Week 11

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks played 66% of snaps in Sunday's win over the Titans, compared to just 26% for Nick Chubb. The rookie seems to be taking over as the team's lead option in the backfield, but this week, he only managed 44 rushing yards on his 18 carries while adding a seven-yard […]

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (11/17/25)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The NBA has eight games on the scoreboard to tip off the new work week. Four of the 16 teams in action are playing for the second day in a row, and the Pistons are the only team on the front half of their back-to-back. The main slate on FanDuel includes all […]


Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill Split Snaps in Madrid

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich finished third on the team with four targets against the Commanders. He hauled in just two catches for 18 yards in a quiet day for the offense, but he remained the team's primary pass-catcher at the position. Dulcich played 54% of the team's offensive snaps, while Julian Hill played […]


Jaylen Waddle has a Down Week Before his Bye

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been emerging as a regular starter and high-end WR2 since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee). He has clearly established himself as the top target in the Dolphins' passing game, and before Sunday, he had posted at least five catches in five of his previous six games. […]


Giannis Antetokounmpo - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineups

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (11/15/25)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have a four-game slate in the NBA ready to tip off this Saturday night with some very fun matchups on the board. The early game in Cleveland isn't on the main slate on DraftKings or FanDuel, with both slates locking at 7:00 p.m. ET. The busy week has already been stuffed […]


Dalton Schultz a Borderline Starter in Week 11

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a key PPR contributor this season, and he's a fringe starting option this week against the Titans. The veteran missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury, but he does not have an injury designation coming into Week 11. He found the end zone for […]


Rookie Jaylin Noel Finding a Role in Houston

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel caught all four of his targets for a total of 35 yards last week against the Jaguars, but his role this week against the Titans remains uncertain. The rookie had at least four catches in three of his four games since the bye week, and he outperformed veteran Christian […]
