Though he's a hard player […]

Week 2 kicks off with a certified banger on Thursday night, as the Buffalo Bills open their shiny, new stadium […]

The tight end position is often the noisest for fantasy football. It's incredibly common for random no-names to finish in the top 10 on any given week. Because of the lack of options and the position's general scarcity, fantasy managers often get caught chasing yesterday's points. On the surface, adding a tight end who had […]

The fantasy football season got off to a high-scoring start in Week 1, and several teams were especially impressive with new-look or overhauled offenses. While there weren't many running back injuries, several spots stood out as places to find value as teams rotate running backs through as part of a timeshare at the position. With […]

We saw several double-digit fantasy performances from kickers; I count 12 by standard scoring measures going into Monday […]

Welcome to the Wednesday after Week 1, the time to victory-lap your initially successful sleepers and breakouts while panicking about the busts. Week 1 is a time to watch for usage and opportunities.
