Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 6: Brock Purdy, Saquon Barkley, and Amari Cooper

Week 6 of the fantasy football season is underway and while we may have drafted certain players at a premium, it is okay to consider benching them despite their name value. We often hear the phrase "start your studs" and it is a tried and true method, especially earlier in the season. When injuries, tough […]

Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation for Week 6

Through five weeks of NFL action, there are just five tight ends averaging at least 10 half-PPR PPG and three of them reside in the NFC North. Chicago, Detroit, and Minnesota all currently are supporting a top-five tight end. T.J. Hockenson in Minnesota is no surprise, but who could have predicted Cole Kmet and Sam […]

Fantasy Football Week 5 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Najee Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Calvin Ridley

A couple of weeks ago, a friend messaged and jokingly scolded me for listing half of his roster in my busts column. It wasn't a jab at him. We weren't even matched up that week. The busts were based on matchups and advanced metrics, and not overall performance on the season. Many fantasy managers are […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 5

Week 4 is in the books and the majority of fantasy football seasons are at or near the quarter mark. The football's been happening fast, but there's still plenty more of it to come this season.

Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation For Week 4

When the 2023 season started, it felt like the tight end position was deeper than ever. You had the studs, Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews. Then you had the really good ones, just a tier below, with George Kittle, T.J. Hockenson, Dallas Goedert, and Darren Waller. Next came the young ascending players such as Evan […]

Fantasy Football Week 3 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dameon Pierce, Kyle Pitts, Rhamondre Stevenson, Justin Fields

I’ll admit, I was wrong about Puka Nacua. I listed the wide receiver as a bust in Week 2, thinking there was no way he would get anywhere close to the 10 catches and 119 yards he gathered in Week 1. Instead, Stafford peppered Nacua with 20 targets and the rookie now leads the league […]
