This is the ninth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups and Free Agent Adds – All Positions

It's crazy to think that Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season is in the books, but here we are! Moving forward, there is just one more bye week with six teams on bye, so things should be a bit easier for fantasy managers in the next few weeks. Here we are looking at all […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 10)

Navigating the bye weeks was probably a nightmare for fantasy managers. Thankfully, we finally got some explosive offensive performances from the teams that were playing. However, offensive line play continued to be inconsistent despite the uptick in offensive production. Thankfully, there weren’t many significant injuries across offensive line units in the NFL in Week 9. […]

NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 9 Including Brian Robinson, Drake London, Romeo Doubs, Isaiah Likely

The 2022 rookie class took a big hit recently when Jets running back Breece Hall tore his ACL in Week 7, ending his season. Even so, New York still had another standout rookie performer last week; wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven passes for 115 yards. Other rookies, like Tyler Allgeier, Greg Dulcich, and Isaiah […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – What To Do With Kyle Pitts, Gerald Everett, T.J. Hockenson

The truth of the matter is that during the offseason, we as analysts and fantasy managers everywhere spend way too much time trying to decipher this wretched position. We look at the mid-TE1s and wonder who could possibly elevate their game to being top-three. The truth is our time is better spent on the other […]

This is the eighth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

NFL Trade Deadline Winners and Losers for Fantasy Football - Nyheim Hines, Chase Claypool, Jameson Williams, Calvin Ridley

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and like always, nothing happened. Wait. I'm being told that actually a whole lot happened, as we ended up with the most active NFL trade deadline ever. A day that has just been kind of perfunctory forever actually meant something on Tuesday. Now that the trade deadline […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 9

We're onto Week 9 of the NFL season and after a week's worth of surprising studs and duds and a chaotic trade deadline, it's time to see which players are risers and which guys are falling in fantasy football value.  We now have a lot of good information we can use to help make decisions […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups and Free Agent Adds – All Positions

We are officially heading into the trade deadline week of the 2022 NFL season.

This is a practice every good fantasy football manager needs to practice, as well. There are several important […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 9)

Week 8 provided a glimmer of hope for offensive football in 2022. Eight teams (a 2022 season high!) scored at least 30 points in Week 8. Collectively, offensive line play didn’t improve immensely, but we also dodged any significant long-term injuries for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, Week 9 is one of […]

NextGen Stats - Week 8: RB Breakdowns and Takeaways

We're officially past mid-season and if that doesn't make you sad enough, how about the fact that even the trade deadline has passed us now? Eh? Was that what ultimately broke your hopes of football staying on forever? Too bad. The good news, as always, is that a new week full of games is ahead. […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Weekend Waiver Wire for Week 8 Includes Malik Willis, Khalil Shakir, Justice Hill, Zay Jones, JaMycal Hasty

This week is light on byes as only the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers won't be playing this week. The good news is also that four offenses who have been great so far for fantasy this year return to action this week: the Los Angeles Rams (if you aren't rostering Kupp, I could […]

NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 8 Including Kenneth Walker, Chris Olave, Tyler Allgeier, Garrett Wilson

The 2022 rookie class is shaping up to be a very strong one for fantasy managers. Last week, Chris Olave had a great showing in a losing effort for New Orleans, catching seven passes for 106 yards.

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Buy/Sell Trade Targets for Week 8

We're officially about halfway through the fantasy football regular season and with seven games in the books, teams and players are pretty much who they are. We shouldn't be expecting any miracles from here on out, but that doesn't mean things can't change. It just means we need to be realistic in regard to our […]

Coaching Matters: Offensive Outliers From Week 7

This is the seventh week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups and Free Agent Adds – All Positions

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 8)

What more can be said about the continued lack of explosive offense in the NFL during the 2022 season? Scoring (real and fantasy) is down across the board as offenses struggle to find their footing this year. That is also true for offensive line units across the league. Just 10 teams had a combined PFF […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Weekend Waiver Wire for Week 7 Includes Wan'Dale Robinson, Mac Jones, Justice Hill, Greg Dulcich

This week we head into another round of byes with the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills all on one. We are also now at a stretch of the schedule where stashing players is harder to do as you may not be afforded the luxury to just stash a guy as […]

Booms and Busts: Week 7 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds Including Romeo Doubs, Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery, T.J. Hockenson

It happens every year in fantasy when there comes a time when the injuries begin to mount, causing undervalued players to emerge. That was the case in Week 7 when you scrolled through the leaderboards at each position. Sitting atop the running back list for the week, we saw waiver wire wonder Deon Jackson take […]

NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 7 Including Dameon Pierce, Kenny Pickett, Tyquan Thornton, Greg Dulcich

Rookie running backs had a great week last week. Breece Hall led the pack with 121 scrimmage yards and a touchdown to help the Jets earn a 27-10 victory over Green Bay. Kenneth Walker III put up 110 scrimmage yards and a score for Seattle in his first game as a starter. Moreover, Commanders rookie […]

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 […]

Coaching Matters: Offensive Outliers From Week 6

This is the sixth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 7)

Offensive scoring is down across the league and offensive lines continue to struggle across the board. Just seven teams finished with an average PFF grade above 65.0 across their entire offensive line in Week 6. Unfortunately, injuries continue to stack up along the offensive lines as well. Arizona lost starting left guard Justin Pugh to […]

NextGen Stats - Week 6: QB Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie. You can twist them, but looking at them objectively, numbers say that no matter what, rushing the ball is almost always a worse option than passing it in today's game. That's why […]
