Adam Koffler's Week 5 Start/Sits
It's hard to believe we're almost a quarter of the way through the 2026 NFL season. But here we are, entering Week 5, a make-or-break week for a lot of fantasy managers. Last week, our start calls weren't the best. Mack Hollins looked like he was going to crush it, but suffered a mid-game injury, […]
Booms and Busts: Players With Big Upside
Four weeks is enough to stop treating every spike like a trend. Week 5 still has a split personality. Detroit at Arizona and Buffalo at the Rams both sit near a 54.5 total, with the Lions’ implied team total around 30 and the Rams near 28.5, the two highest marks on the board. Houston at […]
10 Potential Busts - Fantasy Football Week 5
Four weeks into the NFL season, it's becoming easier to identify the bad matchups and fantasy football landmines. Last week, we were essentially nine-for-10 in selecting busts. As we have seen, a difficult matchup, a change in offensive philosophy, or an injury to a teammate can turn a reliable starter into a lineup bust. This […]

Fantasy Football Drops Before Week 5
Hey RotoBallers! The full Week 5 slate kicks off in a few days, so most are looking to put the finishing touches on their lineups. However, with so many injuries to high-end fantasy players, managers may need to cut ties with underperformers to fill their lineups. Below, we will look at four players whose fantasy […]
Tight End Stats, Sleepers & Surprises
The tight end position is off to one of its hottest starts in recent memory and shows few signs of slowing down. With the rise of 12-personnel and the multitude of receiver injuries, tight ends are an integral part of NFL offenses. However, a four-game sample size is still relatively small. Small sample sizes can […]

Week 5 of the NFL season is here, and with it comes a fresh edition of my Warning Signals column.

I […]
Players to Buy or Sell - Week 5
We are nearly a quarter of the way through the 2026 fantasy football season already, and it still feels like there are more questions than answers when it comes to player values and rest-of-season outlooks. Can we rely on Drake Maye after a QB1 overall finish last week? Which pass-catcher in Chicago is the one […]

We're now one month into the fantasy football season, and some trends are revealing themselves. Still, the fantasy football landscape changes in a flash. This could just be the beginning for some of this week's risers and fallers. The players in this weekly article aren't necessarily the week's best and worst performers. Instead, we'll talk […]
The Cut List - Who to Drop for Week 5?
Last week, there were a high number of big names who graced this article - Justin Herbert, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Godwin Jr. - and while it was just one week, none of them have me regretting my decision thus far. Yes, Harrison and Thomas both found the end zone, but neither […]
Biggest Week 4 Fantasy Football Busts
Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season had a little bit of everything, from an undrafted free agent starting at quarterback to an improbable battle between two 3-0 teams in the AFC West. We continued to see several big performances from top players, as well as some huge bounce-back showings from players who disappointed last […]
Booms and Busts: Players With Big Upside
Week 4 is the first week the numbers actually start to matter. Three games of snaps, target shares, and defensive tape are on the board, and the slate is split between games built to score and games built to grind. Jaguars-Bengals sits at 51.5 total, the highest on the board, with Lions-Panthers right behind at […]

10 Potential Busts - Fantasy Football Week 4
After three full weeks of the fantasy football season, we finally have enough information to start separating a slow start from players who might actually be having a problem. Roles are changing, injuries are piling up (I mean, they are really piling up!), and some players we felt great about in August and early September […]
Adam Koffler's Week 4 Start/Sits
We're back with another week of start 'em, sit 'em. With injuries piling up and players either underperforming or overperforming, there's always a need to analyze your roster and make sound management decisions. We did just ok last week on our starts and sits. For the starts, only Jeremiyah Love hit. Adonai Mitchell didn't end […]
Landmines to Avoid, Fade for Week 4 Lineups?
Week 4 is already off to a wild start; the Cleveland Browns are good again! It seems like ever since their winless 2017 season, the Browns have decided to become a serious football team once every three years. 2020, 2023, and after what we saw on Thursday Night Football, possibly 2026. Now, it's time for […]

Week 4 of the NFL season is upon us, and so we have another round of fantasy football to prepare for. It also means a new edition of Warning Signals is here. In this column, I will highlight a handful of players involved in some troubling trends that might spoil your week, and maybe your […]
Tight End Stats, Sleepers & Surprises
The tight end position is off to the hottest start in recent memory. TE17 Sam LaPorta is averaging roughly the same half-PPR PPG as WR32 Luther Burden III (9.1 vs. 9.3). LaPorta is currently outscoring RB25 Kyle Monangai, who is at 8.5 half-PPR PPG. Crazy hot start, but will it hold? While we've gotten some […]
Fantasy Football Drops Before Week 4
Hey RotoBallers! The full Week 4 slate will kick off in a few days, which means it's almost time to set our lineups.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers: Week 4
Welcome back to the Week 4 editions of my fantasy football risers and fallers series for 2026. The injury report was the star of Week 3. From new injuries (De'Von Achane, Breece Hall, and more) to those predetermined to miss the weekend, there’s bound to be plenty of waiver wire movement. Now that the calendar […]
Players to Buy or Sell - Week 4
Week 3 was one of the craziest weeks of regular-season NFL football I can remember. We had multiple upsets, high scores, and plenty of disappointing and surprising fantasy performances. Oh, and a laundry list of injuries that is sure to cause panic in leagues everywhere. One positive thing to come out of Week 3 was […]
Fact or Fiction: Week 3's Biggest Surprises
After a week in which offensive scoring was down across the board, the NFL's superstars sparked a rebound in Week 3. Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all scored more than 30 half-PPR points, delivering hugely for both their fantasy managers and their teams. Everyone already knew to start these studs, though. The players […]
Dynasty Cut List - Time to Let Go?
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 […]
Biggest Week 3 Fantasy Football Busts
Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season had a little bit of everything. We continued to see several big performances from top players, as well as some huge bounce-back showings from players who disappointed last week. However, we didn't get matchup-winning performances from every player. A common trend in Week 3 was that many notable […]

Booms and Busts: Fantasy Football Starts/Sits
Week 3 is the first week that actually feels like a season. Two games of usage, snap counts, and defensive tape are now on the board, and the remaining schedule is full of mismatches that will either inflate or crush a player’s ceiling.
