Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua (calf) left practice early on Thursday due to a calf injury, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. The severity of Nacua's calf injury is unknown, but mid-week injuries are typically bad news. Fantasy managers need to check for updates, as the 25-year-old's availability is now up […]

Week 7 in the NFL is upon us. Fantasy seasons are entering make-or-break mode. It is still possible to recover from one-win starts, and it is still possible to fall as an undefeated team. However, the margin for error will quickly fade in the coming weeks. Now that we are squarely into bye weeks, the […]

Hey RotoBallers, we are already in the middle of Week 7, and we are back with more fantasy football waiver advice. The pesky bye weeks are back as the Bills, Chargers, Jaguars, and Commanders are off this week. Fantasy managers looking for a bye-week or injury replacement, or a high-upside bench stash: our updated Week […]

We are only in October, but multiple key players' seasons have already ended. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and Dolphins running back De'Von Achane both suffered season-ending knee injuries in September. Sadly, Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin joined them on Monday with a torn patellar tendon. Many other players have sustained less significant injuries, though. Keep these […]

Hey RotoBallers! As we turn the page to Week 7, it's almost time to set our next round of fantasy lineups. With four teams on a bye and many star-player injuries, managers may need to make tough lineup decisions to secure a win. In this piece, we will look at four players who could disappoint […]

In a lot of my leagues, things have started to balance out. There are still top teams, but in the last two weeks, a lot of teams that started slowly picked up wins. There are a whole lot of 3-3 teams at the moment. That means that even if you got off to a slow […]

We're heading into Week 7 for fantasy football, and most of us are at the halfway point of our regular season. With bye weeks and too long a list of injuries, we've entered a period when it's ok for managers to get a little wild and crazy with roster construction. Fantasy teams that have gotten […]

Week 7 is upon us! Welcome back to another Thursday Night Showdown. MNF did not go according to plan at all. Terry McLaurin getting injured really hurt me, but having Chig Okonkwo and George Kittle ended up being fairly optimal. It's time to lock in and nail this showdown. For our TNF matchup, the New […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) officially did not practice for a second straight day due to his hamstring injury on Thursday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Rice has not practiced since suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 4 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and did not play in […]

No one can stop Malik Nabers in Week 7, and apparently not even J.J. McCarthy can slow him down the way he did Justin Jefferson. Nabers has been an absolute fantasy wrecking ball since returning from injury, and with the Giants continuing to funnel targets his way, he belongs in every starting lineup regardless of […]

Bucky Irving's Week 7 fantasy production should look a lot more like his Week 5 explosion than last week's frustrating performance. Don't let 46 rushing yards against Pittsburgh fool you. Irving's workload is trending in the right direction, his snap share is climbing, and a date with a Carolina Panthers defense that surrenders 23.3 fantasy […]

Michael Mayer is a tight end masquerading as a TE1 in Las Vegas, and fantasy managers need to start paying attention. Even with Brock Bowers commanding attention in the Raiders' passing game, Mayer is carving out a valuable role with strong efficiency, short-area targets, and recent volume, making him a legitimate Week 7 starter. Meanwhile, […]

Jordan Love might be the most underrated QB1 we’ve seen in some time. He’s putting up strong numbers without a consistent ground game, and with Josh Jacobs potentially back in the mix, Green Bay’s offense could be ready to take another step forward. Now he gets a Detroit defense that has been giving up big […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (shoulder) is on the Week 7 injury report and was listed as a limited participant in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The Cowboys do not play the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7 until Monday night, so Pickens […]

Warning Signals come in many forms and […]

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (quadriceps) returned to practice on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant. It is a step towards playing this weekend at home against the visiting New York Giants after Schultz did not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. The 30-year-old veteran might need […]

Cleveland Browns rookie first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion Jr. (calf, quadriceps) is dealing with multiple injuries this week and was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday for the second straight day, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fellow rookie wideout Denzel Boston (foot) has also been limited in both […]

We are quickly approaching the halfway mark of the fantasy football regular season, a good time to review key statistics to predict future tight end success. In this week's article, we'll look at several statistics from two angles: raw and per-snap. Ultimately, the raw numbers matter most. If your favorite tight end averages the most […]

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. Sampson is trying to return from a knee injury that he suffered in the season opener, and if he can upgrade to a full […]
