Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There's no way to sugarcoat it - if you don't have a reliable group of running backs by now, you might be in trouble. The best strategy for playoff hopefuls is to stash high-end backups that could pay off down the stretch. Quarterback and tight end are similarly thin this week but there are plenty […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 12

This wasn't a great week in terms of wide receivers coming out of nowhere to perform, but that's what happens at this point in the season. Positional rotations solidify.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 12

After a slow offensive Week 10, several quarterbacks were able to find success again heading into Week 11. There weren’t many big yardage performances with only five quarterbacks exceeding 300 yards passing (led by rookie sensation Justin Herbert), but numerous quarterbacks had no problem finding the end zone through the air. Five quarterbacks passed for […]

Week 11 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 11 was an odd one for quarterbacks. The Patriots Defense stifled Lamar Jackson in Week 10 and followed that up by allowing Deshaun Watson to finish as the No. 1 quarterback on the week. Taysom Hill, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers and Andy Dalton were the unfamiliar names that found themselves inside the top-10 this week. […]

Playoff Tight End Streamers: ROS Schedules to Attack

The tight end position has been a crapshoot all year, which even the seemingly dependable options like Zach Ertz, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews either hurt or failing to meet expectations. That has left the landscape as Travis Kelce and a whole bunch of other guys, which has amounted to a massive headache for fantasy […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It was another one of those weeks where third-string tight ends were scoring touchdowns and All-Pro players were completely shut down. Just remember process > results when making your add/drop decisions. The waiver wire is more important in 2020 than ever. The players suggested here should be top priorities for early-week waiver claims; keep the […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

The NFL season keeps on chugging along. How many of you expected Marquez Valdes-Scantling to lead all receivers on Sunday in fantasy points?

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

It is getting down to the nitty-gritty for fantasy football general managers this week. Yes, I said the NITTY-GRITTY! Week 11 is one of the most crucial weeks for fantasy footballers if they participate in leagues. This is when playoff spots are secured or flushed down the toilet. San Francisco’s George Kittle has left fantasy […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 11

Week 10 was a brutal affair for most fantasy squads, especially if you rely on production from the quarterback position. Only six quarterbacks surpassed 300 yards passing on the week, and of those only three had more than one passing touchdown. As a whole, only three quarterbacks were able to throw for at least three […]

Before we know it, the season will be hitting its final stretch. It’s been quite a 2020 campaign for the NFL as the league tries to navigate COVID-19.

Week 10 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 10 was fairly low scoring and it seemed like we saw a lot of touchdowns scored by low-end guys such as Willie Snead, DaeSean Hamilton, Cameron Brate and Rex Burkhead. Tom Brady led the week at quarterback while Kyler Murray and Josh Allen rounded out the top-three. Tight end was extremely rough this week […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 10

Every season, many rookies make names for themselves, garnering national attention. From Odell Beckham Jr. and Ezekiel Elliott to Josh Jacobs and A.J.

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 10 Lineups

Week 9 in fantasy was primarily dominated by the quarterback and wide receiver positions. We saw 19 QBs score over 20 FP, while we saw 17 WRs reach that point total as well.

Wide Receiver Breakouts You Haven't Noticed Yet

Travis Fulgham, Chase Claypool, Justin Jefferson...these are guys who everyone is talking about, breakout players who have ascended the ranks at wide receiver in 2020.

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Week 10

The fantasy trade market is always a fun one to evaluate. Articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" pieces but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to trade for those that are cold and trade away those hot. We are more than halfway through the season and with teams nearly […]

Is Drew Lock Making Denver Fantasy-Friendly?

It was halftime in the Denver-Atlanta game last Sunday and the score was Atlanta 20 - Denver 3. I had put my DFS dollars on Drew Lock in what was supposed to be a "too good to possibly mess this up" matchup against the Falcons and was feeling rather queasy about it. Denver had run […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 10

The waiver wires in fantasy football leagues start getting bare by Week 10. Fantasy football managers will be without their Chiefs, Cowboys, Falcons and Jets this week.
