Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It's crunch time, with precious few games left before the fantasy regular season ends.

Each week, we will advise you […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 11

Rotoballers, if you're not active on the waiver wire this time of year, there are only two reasonable explanations: 1) You're sitting at 3-7 (or worse) and don't find it enjoyable to play spoiler to your league mates, or 2) You're 8-2 (or better) and have nothing but matchup-proof studs on your starting lineup and […]

Week 10 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 10, Christian Kirk, Darius Slayton, Tyreek Hill, and Michael Thomas all had beatable cornerback matchups and finished as the top-four wide receivers in PPR scoring. At running back, Derrick Henry exploited a poor Chiefs run defense and rumbled for 188 yards and two touchdowns, finishing as the No. 1 running back on the week. Ronald […]

Did you survive the terrible, no good, very bad six-team bye week? If so, welcome to the other side, when roster building gets slightly easier going forward.

Week 11 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

If your fantasy football squad is still in the playoff hunt heading into Week 11, then congratulations on not being the Pat Shurmur or Freddie Kitchens of your league.

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 10 Lineups

Although we saw many surprise performances throughout the early stages of the NFL season, the cream has certainly risen to the top.

Week 10 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are in full swing; streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy.

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Darius Slayton, Alexander Mattison, Ryan Finley

By Week 10 of the NFL season, it almost feels a bit disingenuous to still refer to first-year players "rookies." After all, most of them have seen plenty of on-field action at this point. But hey, the term is still technically accurate and therefore will continue to be used in this column. Just know, for […]

There Are Some New Starting Quarterbacks. Does It Matter?

This was supposed to be the year of the quarterback. The position was deeper than it had arguably ever been, and fantasy owners who usually waited to take a quarterback were extremely excited that they could get the caliber of quarterback late in drafts that were available. But football isn't played on paper and injuries, […]

Kareem Hunt's Comeback Is Here... Or Is It?

It's time! Kareem Hunt is finally back as an active member of the Cleveland Browns. The last time we saw Hunt on a football field it was all the way back in Week 11 of the 2018 season. Hunt's suspension for the first half of this season made him an intriguing stash candidate in most […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 10

What's worse for a fan base than seeing your rebuilding team field a barely professional football team as they march towards the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft by letting Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 35 times a game? Watching your team pull all of those same overtly tanking maneuvers but then lose […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 10

We are now past the mid-point of the season, meaning it is time to get your roster in shape for a playoff push and championship run. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a touchdown, so those touches are […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 10

The fantasy football trade deadline is quickly approaching in many leagues, and it should be stirring some extra heat under some owners. Many are making deals to simply get through Week 10, but more successful seasonal fantasy players are trying to complete trades for the future. If your team has four to five wins after […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - O.J. Howard, DeVante Parker, Cole Beasley

The fantasy football talent pool is a lot thinner this week than usual, as bye weeks take out nearly a fifth of the NFL teams from Week 10 play. With those half-dozen teams getting a week off, fantasy footballers will have to do without Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Phillip Lindsay, Courtland […]

The Tape Tells All - Damien Williams Fantasy Analysis

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams, who appears to have re-earned the main running back role for the […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Keenan Allen, Damien Williams, Mohamed Sanu

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 10

The pressure is on, folks. With just four games left in the regular fantasy football season, now is the time to secure high-upside handcuffs and high-floor fill-ins for those players injured or on bye. Each week, the waiver wire scrap heap appears to get smaller and smaller, but that just means you have to squint […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Like it or not, you are probably going to have to dip your toe into the waiver wire this week because there are six teams on bye.

Week 10 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

Week 10 is not a week for faint-of-heart fantasy football players. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week. In fact, it is the only week during the NFL regular season that six squads are off, and it comes when the fantasy season is in its most crucial stage. Fantasy players will have to live […]

Week 9 Surprises? We Must Overreact

In Week 9 several high-end players had exploitable matchups and came through in a big way. Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, and D.K. Metcalf were all expected to have big games, and all three finished in the top three in PPR scoring. At running back, David Montgomery scored two touchdowns as he continues to emerge as […]

Week 9 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are in full swing; streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy.

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9

Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game. And sometimes a professional football game can technically be played by non-professional football […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Marquise Brown, Devin Singletary, Hunter Renfrow
