The early part of the season can be frustrating for fantasy managers waiting for their young rookie RB to take over the backfield. That is why it's important to also have playable depth at RB to ensure you don't get into too big a hole early in the season. Then, once the young back's role […]

Across Weeks 1-5 of the season, we've seen a handful of veteran WRs perform better than expected relative to where they were being drafted a few months ago.

It's not exactly clear how much usage he'll get, though. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks have a pair of running […]

For fantasy managers, nothing can be more frustrating than deciding whether or not to start a wide receiver in that gray zone. You know, the type of WR that has all the talent to make you want to start them, but is also inconsistent enough to make you hesitate. Week 6 brings more difficult lineup […]

Inconsistency at the wide receiver position often makes it difficult to know when to start certain players on your rosters. While Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored double-digit PPR points in all his contests, Titans WR Elic Ayomanor and Ravens wideout Zay Flowers have not. Flowers and Ayomanor both have games with under […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle/shoulder), and Las Vegas Raiders wideout Tre Tucker are three players that many people might be considering starting in their flex spots or in deeper leagues. This season, each has had at least one good game, with Bourne most recently having a […]

You have to think that at some point in writing start/sit articles for receivers your typical sports writer would run out of things to say in the intro. That might be true, but today is not that day. Because if you have Keenan Allen, Jameson Williams, or Michael Pittman Jr., you're probably considering starting them. […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football series, Fact of Fiction. We're heading into Week 6 of the NFL season now after a Week 5 that seemed to feature either close games or blowouts exclusively. Some of those games led to surprise names at the top of this week's fantasy scoring leaderboard. That includes Panthers running […]

Probably the most fun thing of all time to do in any line of work is try to predict which backup running backs will have big games when they get more work due to injuries to the RBs ahead of them on their depth charts. I was joking -- it's actually very difficult. There are […]

The wide receiver position has been plagued by major injuries to start the season. Fantasy managers who selected players like CeeDee Lamb, Malik Nabers, Tyreek Hill, or Terry McLaurin (among others) are likely scrambling to find replacement players to try and salvage their fantasy season.

Unfortunately, it's really not hard to get into running back hell quickly in fantasy football.

Losing a starting running back is […]

Week 5 marks the start of bye weeks, and question marks are building up at the quarterback position.

In this article, we will […]

The first set of bye weeks will take place this week, which means fantasy managers might have to rely on some players deeper on their bench. Also, add in the fact that superstar fantasy players like Lamar Jackson, CeeDee Lamb, Bucky Irving, and Chuba Hubbard will all be out this week due to different injuries. […]

Start and sit decisions get tougher once the bye weeks hit. Roster depth is tested when one of your studs is unavailable, and finding a way to make up those points is crucial.

Fantasy football is often as much a game of trying to beat your opponents as it is trying to survive a rash of season-ending injuries and bye weeks. This is especially true for fantasy managers who drafted New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) and Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (knee). Both suffered season-ending […]

We have officially entered Week 5 of the NFL season, and bye weeks are beginning to take shape.

That takes at least three running backs that […]

Some tight ends are finding the end zone at surprising rates, while there are others just trying to carve out a role. Touchdowns have boosted a few names this season, but that kind of production doesn't always stick. With injuries, new quarterback situations, and slow starts clouding the tight end atmosphere, the picks we made […]

We are already a month into the NFL season. That gives us a small but decent enough sample size to help us guide our lineup decisions in fantasy. Bye weeks have officially hit, and that will, of course, limit weekly options. Stacking enough depth to withstand and navigate the bye weeks is a crucial piece […]

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, his teammate and fellow WR Darius Slayton, and Los Angeles Chargers wideout Keenan Allen are three players in what look like crowded rooms at their position that fantasy managers are considering starting for Week 5.
