Welcome, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football D/ST streamers and starts for Weeks 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the 2026 season. This article will identify the best D/ST to pick up for this week and in the weeks ahead.  This week's edition looks at the best defenses to stream over the next few weeks. This article […]

Week 4 is here, and the running back position has no shortage of tough decisions. We’ve got some explosive matchup plays, a few uncomfortable deep-league swings, and several backs whose usage has me either ready to buy in—or slam the brakes. Bucky Irving gets a dream matchup with Green Bay, Aaron Jones could see a […]

Week 4 is here, and the wide receiver position is loaded with some serious boom potential—but there are also a few names I’m not willing to trust. We’ve got bounce-back candidates, elite matchups, and some players whose usage hasn’t matched the fantasy price tag. Tetairoa McMillan gets a dream matchup with Detroit, Zay Flowers could […]

The tight end position is always full of surprises, and Week 4 is no different. We’ve got veterans like Travis Kelce looking rejuvenated, Darren Waller seeing his role grow, and Tucker Kraft sitting in a dream matchup despite the Packers’ passing game making me nervous. Plenty of reasons suggest these tight ends can deliver—but the […]

Week 4 is here, and some quarterbacks are in very different spots than they were a week ago. Bryce Young is coming off another strong fantasy performance, Marcus Mariota just torched Seattle, and C.J. Stroud has a matchup that could finally get his season moving in the right direction. But on the flip side, some […]

Oh my, it's an Alvin Kamara featured image in 2026! If you survived the injury bug across the first two weeks of play, then the odds are good that Week 3 bit you somewhere, so how will you react? For now, we will do our best to provide a roadmap to success with our famous […]

No beating around the bush: there are a number of big names in this week's Cut List. Some may surprise you, and some may be obvious, but we're almost a quarter of the way through the season now, and the data we get with each passing game becomes more and more trustworthy. For all of […]

Three weeks in the books means many of you are starting to feel like what has happened is what will be, so just remember that we're not even a quarter of the way through this crazy 2026 fantasy football ride. We're sweating small sample sizes across all positions, and kickers can be notoriously fickle, but […]

Week 3 reminded everyone how cruel fantasy football can be. Fantasy managers were already navigating the waiver wire at quarterback after watching quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jaxson Dart go down in Week 2. However, the other shoe dropped in Week 3. Each position got hit with a big named injury in Week 3. […]

Tackles are easy to collect and predict… at least, easier than most other stats. There is a reason that I build my Standard IDP Scoring system, which we use both for this Weekly IDP Waivers column and our Weekly IDP Rankings, around tackles. It is the most consistent defensive statistic we can rely on, and […]

Hey RotoBallers! While much of the dynasty fantasy content in-season revolves around trades, there are times we have to part ways with "roster cloggers" to pick up a free agent who has recently carved out a role on their team, like Kalif Raymond or Jalon Daniels. As a result, we are forced to cut players […]

Hey RotoBallers! The 2026 NFL season continues to speed by as Week 4 has officially arrived! Some top-notch quarterbacks, like Drake Maye, have struggled so far and should be on fantasy benches, while others, like Tyler Shough, are emerging as must-start options. Also, injuries hit the position hard again, with Baker Mayfield set to miss […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we continue our rankings series with the tight end position. Unless you drafted Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, George Kittle, or Dalton Kincaid, there is a decent chance that you are either streaming the TE position or deciding between a few options to start at tight end. Today we review our early Week […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more early fantasy football rankings!

Week 4 is officially here, and the NFL kicks the week off with the Steelers versus the Browns.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season. Week 3 of the NFL season is in the books, and many injuries hit the fantasy football landscape. Leading up to the weekend, Jonah Coleman and Jonathon Brooks were both placed on the injured reserve, but on […]

Oh my goodness, the injuries. They don't stop. They're one after another. Oftentimes, they're two-by-two. This week, Baker Mayfield, Justin Jefferson, De'Von Achane, Bucky Irving, Travis Etienne Jr., and Mike Evans all left their respective games. We're only three games in, but on top of them, we're still missing a plethora of other big names. […]

As you intensify your planning process for Week 4, you may be contending with injuries that were sustained by multiple backs during their Week 3 matchups. That has blended with uninspiring workloads, and other production-inhibiting factors to create an escalating number of challenges that many of you will need to navigate. It will also be […]

Week 3 was an interesting week of football from a fantasy perspective, at least. We didn't see any massive breakouts for low-rostered players, but we did see quite a few names that could pique the interest of a dialed-in fantasy manager to pick up before waivers clear ahead of Week 4. Established WRs getting injured […]

There is more juice available on the fantasy football waiver wire than inside a Tropicana packing plant. Everyone is still in play since the first round of byes is another week away. The waiver wire in most fantasy leagues still has a wide array of tight ends to choose from if you need one. Some […]

The 2026 season has featured plenty of unexpected on-field performances. Week 3 also produced some surprising results among fantasy quarterbacks. Six quarterbacks in Week 3 had 20+ fantasy points at the conclusion of the 4 p.m. window. A few are names you’d expect to see at the top of fantasy scoring (Brock Purdy, Tyler Shough, […]

Welcome back following the bulk of a Week 3 slate that came in heavy with explosive plays and big-name injuries, which gives us plenty to analyze on the waiver scene. While we still must be cognizant of how much we can take away from a limited three-week sample, standing still is a great way to […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Drake London worked out well for us in Thursday Night Football, but Jordan Love and the Packers didn't quite have the day I was expecting. In fact, they were a bit disappointing, and Tucker Kraft has another week where I start to question if drafting him was a mistake. That being said, […]

The Week 3 slate closes out with a Monday Night meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears. Let's be honest, this matchup lost a lot of its juice when Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went down with a hamstring injury last week. With Chicago backup QB Tyson Bagent dealing with a concussion, it appears as […]
