Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 8. This week, we've got four teams on bye (Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers). Last week wasn't great for this column, but we learn, move forward, and try to crush the next week. All four of our starts (Tyler Allgeier, Michael Mayer, Tyler Higbee, and Keenan Allen) scored in […]

Seven weeks into the 2026 NFL season, fantasy managers are beginning to learn which players they can trust and which ones we expect to have up-and-down performances. Unfortunately, even established fantasy stars can have a terrible matchup, an offense can forget how to move the football, or a quarterback who dominates for weeks and then […]

Are you dealing with more Bye-Week Blues? Or has your roster been decimated by injuries? No need to fear; we've got your back with some sneaky start options in fantasy football leagues this week. And our top NFL writers have some highly-rostered players that they're worried about, too. We do this every week! The goal […]

As we arrive at Week 8, the sample size is finally large enough that the matchup numbers start telling you something useful instead of reflecting just a couple of weird early-season games. You can look at how certain defenses have actually handled the run or the pass over a full stretch of weeks, line that […]

Hey RotoBallers! The next full slate of NFL action kicks off in just a few days. While many managers are looking ahead to the next breakout candidates, some may be dealing with injuries and could be forced to cut ties with a struggling player to fill a lineup. In this piece, we'll look at four […]

We're nearly at the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. As seven weeks have gone by, the playoff picture is starting to fall into shape for many leagues, at least for the very worst and very best teams. Most of those bad teams likely have a high concentration among them of the biggest […]

Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome to Week 8 of the NFL season. Thursday brings not just a new week of action, but a new edition of Warning Signals. For the uninitiated, I use this column to pick on a handful of players and explain why I believe they might spoil your weekend. Warning Signals take many […]

This year, we have four elite tight ends, two really good ones, and then there's a sizable group in the middle. Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Isaiah Likely, and George Kittle are in a tier of their own up at the top. Tyler Warren and Sam LaPorta comprise the second tier, completing our six set-it-and-forget-it tight […]

Through seven weeks of the 2026 season, the Minnesota Vikings are the only undefeated team, the New York Giants are first in the NFC East, and the Cleveland Browns are first in the AFC North. The NFL never ceases to be entertaining or unpredictable, making fantasy football a constant roller-coaster ride. I couldn't have predicted […]

Can you believe it? We’ve officially made it through half of the fantasy football regular season. It’s time for contenders to bolster their roster. It’s do-or-die time for those at the bottom of the standings. There should be opportunities to sell high on risers or ship out fallers for a win-now player. The players in […]

We're at the point in the season where a player's name value and where you drafted them no longer matter. You are now whoever you've shown yourself to be over the first seven weeks. The other stuff is no longer a selling point. It's no longer a consideration. Plenty of big names made the Cut […]

Hey RotoBallers! We are nearing the halfway point of the 2025-26 season, and with injuries piling up, dynasty managers may be forced to cut some underperforming players. While managers may have wanted to stash these assets in hopes they turn the corner, the clock is ticking, and their seat is getting hot. Be sure to […]

Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season delivered a little bit of everything, including a winless team finally getting a win and two undefeated teams taking their first loss. 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, Week 7 […]

Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 7. This week, we've got four teams on bye (Bills, Jaguars, Chargers, and Commanders). If you're in need of some advice for this week to get in the win column, you're in the right spot. Week 6 was an interesting week. We hit on our starts but mostly whiffed […]

Fantasy football is a war of attrition. You just have to still be standing there when the dust settles in December. Our RotoBaller analysts are here every week with potential sleepers and busts ahead of the remaining Week 7 games. We do this every week! The goal is to give you the confidence you need […]

Week 7 is here, folks! We saw a battle between two of the NFL's biggest rising stars on Thursday Night Football, as Caleb Williams and Drake Maye both had outstanding performances. It was Williams who came out on top in the end, moving the Bears to a 5-2 record. In this weekly series, I'll highlight […]

We have reached Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, and the early-season noise has started to settle into something more reliable, which is exactly why spotting the boom-or-bust options matters more than it did a month ago. Six weeks of usage, target share, and actual game scripts give you a clearer picture of who […]

Week 7 of the NFL season brings another difficult set of lineup decisions, especially with four teams on bye and several offenses struggling to find consistency. This week, several matchups have particularly low projected point totals, including Browns-Titans (37.5), Dolphins-Jets (39.5), Colts-Vikings (41.5), and Chiefs-Seahawks (42.5). Those aren't exactly the games we want to target. […]

Hi again, RotoBallers. Hard to believe, but most NFL teams have already played through a third of their schedules. Now that Week 7 is upon us, it’s time for another look at Warning Signals that might save us from players who could spoil our upcoming fantasy football matchups. Warning Signals come in many forms and […]

Hey RotoBallers! With injuries piling up and bye weeks in full swing, managers may have little room to hold onto struggling assets. Entering Week 7, many high-end players have hit the IR, including Terry McLaurin and Davante Adams just this past week, leaving managers scrambling to fill their lineups. As a result, it's time to […]

We are quickly approaching the halfway mark of the fantasy football regular season, a good time to review key statistics to predict future tight end success. In this week's article, we'll look at several statistics from two angles: raw and per-snap. Ultimately, the raw numbers matter most. If your favorite tight end averages the most […]

14 games. 28 teams in action. Just one player scored 30+ PPR fantasy points. The lack of explosive performances was Week 6's biggest storyline. Christian McCaffrey, on Monday Night Football, saved the week from the dubious accolade. Still, several players had surprising and encouraging games across the league, and, of course, the not-so-great one. The […]

We are now officially one-third of the way through the NFL regular season and nearly halfway through the regular season of most fantasy football leagues. This also means we are rapidly approaching fantasy trade deadlines, which most commonly fall in Weeks 11 or 12. If your fantasy team needs reinforcements or upgrades, act fast—the window […]

With injuries mounting week after week, it's getting harder and harder to find players to cut. Do they have two working legs and a heartbeat? If so, I want 'em! That's obviously an exaggeration, but seriously, you want me to drop Jaylen Waddle? I just lost Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, and Davante Adams! With bye […]

Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season had a little bit of everything, including a nail-biter in London and near-comeback efforts from the Giants and Falcons. 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, Week 6 wasn't a memorable […]

It's hard to believe it's already Week 6. Time flies when you're having fun, right? With four teams on bye and many noteworthy injuries, there are so many lineup decisions to be made. You're in the right place! We got back on track in Week 5 after a rough Week 4 showing. Braelon Allen and […]

Thursday Night Football is the enemy of fantasy football. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only player who managed to score more than 14.7 PPR points in the Broncos vs. Seahawks matchup, and Bo Nix once again "found a way to win" with 4.0 yards per attempt. He now has 13 wins in games with 6.0 yards […]

Five weeks into the 2026 NFL season, we're starting to see which fantasy players are reliable for our lineups and which ones require us to make tough choices. Injuries are changing offenses across the league, bye weeks are making lineup decisions more difficult, and some big-name players are becoming increasingly hard to trust. This year's […]

Don't let injuries and underperforming players bring you down! Every week is a new challenge in fantasy football, and our RotoBaller analysts are back to break down potential sleepers and busts ahead of the remaining Week 6 games. We do this every week! The goal is to give you the confidence you need to make […]
