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 […]

Three weeks in the books means many of you are starting to feel like what has happened is what will be, so just remember that we're not even a quarter of the way through this crazy 2026 fantasy football ride.

With lead running back De'Von Achane (knee) out for the remainder of the 2026 season due to a torn ACL and subsequently being placed on the injured reserve list, the Miami Dolphins have a significant gap to fill in the team's backfield. Achane suffered the season-ending injury in a 24-10 loss to the Kansas City […]

Injuries have derailed MarShawn Lloyd’s career over his first two professional seasons. Lloyd, a former third-round pick, played just 10 snaps as a rookie while navigating hamstring, hip, and ankle injuries as a rookie. He missed the entire 2025 season with a hamstring injury as well. Lloyd came into 2026 healthy and showed his explosiveness […]

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 […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) was one of the most highly drafted wide receivers in fantasy football this offseason. After finishing as the overall WR1 in PPR fantasy football leagues in 2026, despite missing one game, he was seen as a must-draft first-round pick. He hasn't seen the field since Week 1 […]

We're heading into Week 4 of the NFL season, and the honeymoon phase has ended for fantasy managers, with some fantasy superstars off to a slow start. Some of these players we never thought would be sluggish out of the gate, but here they are, lagging. We're going to look at well-known fantasy football players […]

Finding the right defense to stream can give you an advantage in fantasy football, especially when you target favorable matchups before your league mates. As usual in this article, we're looking a week ahead, focusing on defenses rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo! leagues, giving you some potential options on the waiver wire. With […]

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has gotten off to a rough start this season. After presumably entering the season as the No. 1 wide receiver on this team, Harrison has taken a backseat to Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne at times. Harrison entered the season healthy and ready to go after an injury-riddled […]

With Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season now completed, roles are being solidified, and pictures are becoming clearer for NFL offenses. With the obvious caveat that it is still very early on in the campaign and things are still subject to change — and quite frankly, a lot will change throughout the course of […]

Now that we are through three weeks of the NFL season, certain trends are beginning to unveil themselves. We are gaining a better idea of who the true contenders are vs. the pretenders. There are several 3-0 teams, with the Raiders being among the most surprising. Alternatively, the Chargers and Texans finding themselves at 0-3 […]

As you intensify your planning process for Week 4, you may be contending with injuries that were sustained by multiple backs during their Week 3 matchups. That has blended with uninspiring workloads, and other production-inhibiting factors to create an escalating number of challenges that many of you will need to navigate. It will also be […]

Week 3 was an interesting week of football from a fantasy perspective, at least. We didn't see any massive breakouts for low-rostered players, but we did see quite a few names that could pique the interest of a dialed-in fantasy manager to pick up before waivers clear ahead of Week 4. Established WRs getting injured […]

There is more juice available on the fantasy football waiver wire than inside a Tropicana packing plant. Everyone is still in play since the first round of byes is another week away. The waiver wire in most fantasy leagues still has a wide array of tight ends to choose from if you need one. Some […]

The 2026 season has featured plenty of unexpected on-field performances. Week 3 also produced some surprising results among fantasy quarterbacks. Six quarterbacks in Week 3 had 20+ fantasy points at the conclusion of the 4 p.m. window. A few are names you’d expect to see at the top of fantasy scoring (Brock Purdy, Tyler Shough, […]

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had a monster game in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Though his team eventually lost the game, he was heavily involved in the offense, catching all eight of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. It likely came as a surprise to fantasy managers. Johnson wasn't […]

Houston has stumbled out of the gate to a 0-3 start to the season, and they need Collins back in the mix to get their offense going. Collins' absence […]

Week 3 reminded everyone how cruel fantasy football can be. Fantasy managers were already navigating the waiver wire at quarterback after watching quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jaxson Dart go down in Week 2. However, the other shoe dropped in Week 3. Each position got hit with a big named injury in Week 3. […]

Tackles are easy to collect and predict… at least, easier than most other stats. There is a reason that I build my Standard IDP Scoring system, which we use both for this Weekly IDP Waivers column and our Weekly IDP Rankings, around tackles. It is the most consistent defensive statistic we can rely on, and […]

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 […]
