Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you were forced to contend with significant injuries to your running backs during the matchups of Week 4, while others experienced frustrating output and inconsistent patterns of usage. The sudden bye weeks for Tennessee, and Pittsburgh, also created unexpected challenges for anyone with Derrick Henry, or James Conner. Uncertainty surrounding the status of New […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Another week is in the books, though not how we expected, with one game postponed until later in the year and Patriots/Chiefs postponed until Monday night.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

The 2020 NFL season has not been easy on fantasy football general managers. If fantasy footballers did not already have enough to contend with between injuries (O.J.

Week 4 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

There were 17 quarterbacks that scored at least 20-fantasy points in Week 4 with Dak Prescott leading the charge. Teddy Bridgewater, Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold were some unfamiliar faces that cracked the top-10 this week, but other than those guys none of the big producers really surprised us. As a whole, tight ends weren't […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts: Week 4

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of all the injuries in the NFL.

RB Insurance Report: Essential Adds and Backfield Updates

Chris Carson often plays at a fantasy RB1 level when he is available. But he has a checkered injury history that even preceded his college days. So when I drafted him in several leagues this season, I made sure to take Carlos Hyde later on as an insurance pick every time. So when Carson went […]

Week 4 IDP Rankings, Streamers, and Notes

We are only three weeks into this young NFL season, and the IDP landscape is already looking like a wasteland. Before Week 3, fantasy managers were already without three of the top-15 IDP defenders after injuries took Derwin James, Nick Bosa, and Danielle Hunter away from us. Things are getting much worse now, with the […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 4

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is the week the rookie receivers emerged in 2020. Justin Jefferson exploded for 7-175-1 and finally gives the Vikings a viable option behind Adam Thielen. Brandon Aiyuk looks like he could be the answer to San Francisco's WR injury woes by living up to his first-round status. Gabriel Davis took advantage of John Brown's […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Week 3 is in the books. It was a week of close, exciting games, and also the week that the Bengals and Eagles played to a tie, with both teams giving up at the very end to avoid losing. That was a very bad overtime. Anyway, wide receivers! That's why you're here! Read on to […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

The NFL season is moving along and so are fantasy seasons. This season has been filled with more injuries than anticipated, unfortunately leaving many teams and fantasy squads to test their depth. Through three weeks, guys like Chris Godwin, Christian McCaffrey, and Saquon Barkley have hardly made much of a fantasy impact. As we go […]

Week 3 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 3 was a wild one in the NFL with several key players going down with injuries and a few shootouts going down.
