The Los Angeles Chargers will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8 on Thursday Night Football. Given how both teams have had multiple start-worthy fantasy players, this week's installment of TNF will be very important for fantasy leagues. The Chargers are coming off a loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7, but it's […]

Like most of you who are reading this, I grew up playing Madden. I can't remember what year Madden it was, but there was one where Oronde Gadsden was a free agent and I always signed him to bolster the Texans receiving group, because this was back when the team had Andre Johnson and then, […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey, and Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton are among this season's best fantasy assets. But nearly every player in fantasy is prone to having bust games. While Rice hasn't played in a game yet, both McConkey and Sutton have had single-digit outings in […]

We’re nearing the midpoint of the season, and with injuries piling up and bye weeks in full swing, those start/sit decisions are getting tricky. Brian Thomas Jr., Keenan Allen, and Luke McCaffrey are three wide receivers worth evaluating for Week 7 fantasy lineups, with McCaffrey set to see more opportunities as Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) […]

New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson, San Francisco 49ers wideout Kendrick Bourne, and New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte are all players who are considered to be right around the WR2/WR3 range in fantasy football this week. Each of them had a big game in Week 2 - all scored double-digit PPR fantasy points, […]

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy, New Orleans Saints wideout Rashid Shaheed, and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown have all had pretty solid games this season and are worth starting consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 7. That's actually a lie. Well, part of it is. Shaheed and Brown have had good games, but […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III, New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle), and New York Jets running back Breece Hall have all seen better days of production earlier in their careers. This season, for whatever reasons, all three are performing at levels well below how they did in their rookie campaigns. At least […]

For many, Week 7 is the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. It is time for teams to start making pushes to get into a position where the fantasy playoffs are a reality. 2025 has been a tough year for injuries, but weeks are getting even more difficult with bye weeks. Fantasy managers […]

In recent weeks, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison, Green Bay Packers wideout Romeo Doubs, and San Francisco 49ers WR Kendrick Bourne have all had great games in their own right. All three have been far from consistent in this area, though -- dating back to last season, they all have plenty of single-digit PPR […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift, New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo, and Arizona Cardinals tailback Bam Knight will all be the starting RBs for their team's this Sunday. Swift has been the starter all season, so that's not much of a surprise, and Skattebo had a huge game in Week 6, so it's expected […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a pair of wide receivers a bit deeper on the depth chart than you'd expect to support fantasy relevance, Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson, that many fantasy managers are considering starting as fill-ins for injured players and those on bye.

It's fortunate that the wide receiver position typically has more players who are likely to have boom games on benches than happens for running backs. Teams often have four or five receivers who have stretches of startable fantasy production. Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, shoulder), and […]

Tight end is always a tricky position to get a clear read on from week to week, especially once you move beyond the obvious locked-in starters at the top of the rankings. Some fringe players have shown potential in some weeks but struggled to be consistent. Due to bye week, injuries, or ineffectiveness, it's always […]

Wide receiver is a very deep position in fantasy football, but that depth has been put to the test over the last few weeks with multiple key receivers going down with injuries. With bye weeks also in play, some fantasy teams are stretched extremely thin at the position coming into Week 7. The position has […]

Managing through the ups and downs can be tricky, but that's where a great set of rankings (like RotoBaller's) and these start/sit picks can come in super handy as you make your […]

There have been many impressive quarterback performances in fantasy this season. Eight quarterbacks are averaging over 20.0 fantasy points per game. Another six quarterbacks are averaging at least 19.0. Having that many options makes streaming even more appealing in fantasy football. If you don’t have one of the early round quarterbacks (who are healthy), then […]
