As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

As if the latest twist and turn in the Ezekiel Elliot saga wasn’t enough, Week 9 got off to a ridiculous start as not only did Zach Ertz show up on the inactive list, but Leonard Fournette was also scratched due to myriad disciplinary issues such as missing treatments and the team photo. Then we […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 10 Pickups and Adds

The rookies have officially taken over the RB landscape. Ownership levels reflect that already, which means most of the best remaining options are veterans.

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire - Week 10 Pickups and Adds

Four weeks until the fantasy playoffs and at this point you are likely in one of three camps: Camp 1 - are teams that are basically a lock for their league's playoffs. Teams that are 9-0, 8-1, 7-2 and possibly 6-3 (if you have a very strong roster) are pretty much in. If this is you, […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 10)

Even when you think you've got this fantasy football thing figured out, it turns out you don't. Last week, for example, I originally put Corey Clement on this list--I liked how he'd been looking and his usage was trending upwards. But then the Eagles traded for Jay Ajayi and I went back into the article […]

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 9)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. This season hasn't quite gone as planned for the Green Bay Packers. One of the preseason favorites to reach Super Bowl LII (that's 52), there's been a bit of a change of plans. Ever since lord and savior Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone in Week 6, the […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes we can outsmart ourselves, can't we? I believe I've said this before, but the Texans-Seahawks game last week is a perfect example of how common sense can just go right out the window when a game defies logic and statistical analysis. At that point, all our best research and prognosticating looks downright idiotic. Hopefully […]

Beating The Waiver Wire - Speculative Stashes for Week 10

It's Wednesday morning. You dropped a player last night expecting to make some moves on the waiver wire, only to wake up and find out you weren't able to get anyone you put a claim in for. What now? If you've got an open roster spot, its always a good idea to plan ahead for […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 9

The Houston Astros won the World Series on Wednesday night. The Houston Texans lost Deshaun Watson for the rest of the season to a torn ACL during practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 9: Floors and Ceilings

Sometimes writing an introduction is hard. I would say it is even harder to write an introduction to a weekly article where the topic of the article remains the same every week. So, as I’m sitting here typing this in the Penn State library, I decided to write an introduction about me writing an introduction; […]

Week 9 Red Zone Risers/Fallers: Players With Scoring Potential

We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone.

Week 9 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

You might think with six teams on bye and less players overall to consider, establishing a solid set of rankings might be a bit easier. In fact, for fantasy purposes it makes it far tougher to establish the lower value tiers because you have to wade through RB committees and WR4/WR5 types just to assess […]

Fantasy Spin - Kelvin Benjamin Traded to Buffalo

While a couple of big trades went down before this year's NFL trade deadline, the Kelvin Benjamin deal is possibly the most surprising. Nobody expected Buffalo to add yet another receiver and it's still not clear what the Panthers were thinking by dealing their WR1 with no clear replacement. Benjamin was inactive for this week's […]
