One could argue that the most important aspect of dynasty fantasy football is knowing when to bail. It hurts to part with a player who has won you matchups — or maybe even leagues. But the vision for the future is what separates dynasty from redraft formats. The problem with most dynasty "sell" content in […]

When does overreaction turn into simple acceptance? How long do smart managers wait on talent and ignore concerning usage, or health, before giving up and accepting it just may not happen this season? Colston Loveland has been a hot prospect all summer because he closed the 2025 season as the second-most dominant tight end in […]

After a high-octane first week of NFL action, scoring declined significantly in Week 2. According to ESPN, the 4.5-point plunge in points per team tied for the third-largest dip from Week 1 to Week 2 since 1970. This was visible across fantasy leagues, as even a mediocre performance from your squad may have been enough […]

Week 1 brought us the highest-scoring opening weekend in NFL history. Week 2 was much, much uglier. Between bad weather and sloppy play, Week 2 was a slog, especially the opening half of the early window on Sunday. When all was said and done, there were more risers than fallers, but some very notable names […]

If nothing else, Week 2 of the 2026 season should have served as a stark reminder that it is not wise to overreact to Week 1. Some players who started hot have cooled off, and many players who disappointed to begin the year have already course-corrected (sorry, Marvin Harrison Jr. managers). And then, of course, […]

Two weeks into the fantasy football season, we’re getting a much clearer picture of running back workloads. We’ve seen which players are dominating touches, which backfields are becoming committees, and which backs are earning valuable work in the passing game and red zone. Now it’s about using that information without overreacting to a small sample […]

We’re starting to see which wide receivers are earning consistent targets and which ones are still searching for their role. Early-season production can be misleading, but target share, route participation, air yards, and red-zone usage give us valuable clues about where the fantasy opportunities are coming from. Week 3 also brings some very favorable matchups […]

Week 3 is where the early-season fantasy football picture starts to come into focus. We’ve now seen two games of usage, targets, routes, and red-zone opportunities, giving us a much better idea of which tight ends are actually involved in their offenses—and which ones are relying on touchdowns to save their fantasy weeks. At tight […]

Week 3 is where the early-season fantasy football picture starts to come into focus. Two weeks of usage, matchups, and production give us more information to work with, but it’s still important not to overreact to a small sample. Some quarterbacks are showing signs of sustainable fantasy production, while others are benefiting from circumstances that […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was unable to suit up in Week 2 as he was dealing with a groin injury. However, the star wideout has not made much progress and is already in danger of missing Week 3. While it is still early in the week, the 25-year-old's status is now in […]

NFL Week 2 was filled with injuries. Caleb Williams avoided a major injury, but Jaxson Dart and Jayden Daniels look like they could be staring down extended time on the injury report. As such, their teams are suffering in the power rankings this week. With a couple of teams falling this week, there is an […]

During the dog days of summer, as we've crept up to six months since the Super Bowl, it's easy to forget about the negatives that come with football (reality and fantasy). Week 1 was a whirlwind -- a massive amount of points scored, an electric NFL RedZone Sunday, and the Cowboys losing in primetime. In […]

Week 3 of the NFL season kicks off on Thursday night as the Green Bay Packers will host the Atlanta Falcons at the historic Lambeau Field. The Falcons will get a major boost at QB as Michael Penix Jr. is set to make his season debut, which changes the outlook for their offense. In addition […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins missed Week 2, and the Houston Texans couldn't get into the end zone in their 20-6 defeat at home against the Bengals without their star receiver. The loss dropped the Texans to 0-2, so they need Collins back as soon as possible from his injury. Collins' fantasy football managers […]

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., thus far in his career, has been speculated to be one of the biggest busts of all time. Through two games in 2026, the former No. 4 overall pick, once hyped as a generational talent at his position, has caught the ball a single time. The Cardinals don't exactly have […]

And just like that, 12% of the fantasy football season is in the books (14% if you count our "regular season" through Week 14). Many of you just experienced low-scoring whiplash after an electric Week 1, so now you're going to act rationally, yes? We join you to take a deep breath and get those […]

We've all felt the urge to rage-drop a particular player. Our emotions can sometimes get the best of all of us. However, when we're making waiver wire moves, they should be calculated and purposeful. Unfortunately, every new addition comes with a cost. Especially early in the season, we want to be confident in who we're […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks. Unfortunately, Week 2 has been the opposite. It's been filled with awful weather, low-scoring contests, and more injuries than fantasy managers would like to count. The injuries will likely create a busy waiver week as teams scramble to find replacements. There may not be any league winners on the […]
