Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 8 Lineups (2025)

We’re quickly approaching another weekend of jam-packed fantasy football action. Last week’s sonic boom, Quinshon Judkins, exploded for a huge game.

This week, we'll be talking about several tight ends likely on your waiver wire who are starting to make noise.

Most likely not, but few […]

A new week of fantasy football is upon us, and the Bye-pocalypse is here.

Even under this crunch, managers can’t afford to ignore the Warning Signals from active players that should […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 8

We're at the halfway point of the fantasy football season, and fantasy managers are likely eager to get rid of dead weight. Many players have been disappointing this season.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 8 (2025)

The NFL is hardly a static entity. Players sometimes have breakouts, sure, but their streaks of good games can come to a screeching halt almost instantly and without warning. And it's of great consequence to fantasy teams. Must-start studs that look like they're on pace to finish top-10 at their position can inexplicably see huge […]

Dynasty League Cut List - Top Fantasy Football Drop Candidates for Week 8

Two more teams take their bye in Week 7, bringing our total to eight. Be prepared, though, the Week 8 bye-pocalypse is coming. Six teams will take the week off next weekend, so it's important to both prepare your roster for Week 8 and secure a win in Week 7 while your roster is (hopefully) […]

Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 7? Trevor Lawrence, Michael Pittman Jr., Kenneth Walker III, and more

We are deep enough into the 2025 season that the initial hype has faded, and cold, hard data dictates success. Week 7 marks the third week of bye-week attrition, but with only two teams—Baltimore and Buffalo—sitting out, the waiver wire is relatively stocked compared to the six-team bloodbath looming next week. Now is the time […]

Fantasy Football Drops Before Week 7 - Time To Say Goodbye?

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 7 (2025)

Week 7 should bring the return of George Kittle, which should be a major boost to many fantasy lineups that have been waiting for him. The tight-end position lacks elite options, so losing Kittle was surely a big blow. This week, fantasy managers will need to adjust to Dalton Kincaid being on a bye. Brock […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7 (2025)

Each week of NFL action feels like a roller coaster as a fantasy football manager.

Digging into the context of each situation can be helpful, […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 7

Saying goodbye is never easy. It's even more challenging if you're saying it to a player you drafted in the early or middle rounds of your fantasy football draft.

Dynasty League Cut List - Top Fantasy Football Drop Candidates for Week 7

This week’s edition of the Dynasty Cut List is making some conclusions on a few once-encouraging prospects, which is, for me, the toughest part of dynasty leagues. When is it time to let go? The idea that it’s usually better to cut ties with a player a year early rather than a year too late […]

Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 6? Daniel Jones, Alvin Kamara, Jameson Williams, and more

We’ve navigated the first major bye week crunch of the season, and now Week 6 offers a slight reprieve. With only two teams on bye instead of four, your roster likely has more depth and flexibility than it did a week ago, which is both a blessing and a curse. More options mean every lineup […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 6 (2025)

Fantasy managers will get Tucker Kraft and Kyle Pitts Sr. back from their bye, but it sounds like they'll need to wait another week for George Kittle to return. Only the Texans and Vikings are on bye this week, so fantasy managers won't be tasked with dealing with too many bye weeks. Only T.J. Hockenson […]
