Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 4

Four weeks in the books! We have a serious amount of data to look at now for the season, and to me, this is where the fun really begins. Week four brought us some really disappointing performances from the early-season breakout names, as well as some very consequential injuries. It's always best to review the... Read More

Offensive Outliers From Week 4 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the fourth week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 4, we saw stat lines such as the Arizona Cardinals running backs combining for 170 rushing yards, the Houston Texans wide receivers getting just 13... Read More

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Week 5

It has officially been four weeks of the 2021 season and NFL teams are being forced to figure out how much depth they have in their offensive line group. 19 teams started the week missing at least one of their starting offensive linemen from Week 1. In addition, 10 different teams had a starter go... Read More

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

You can't get a third down stop or fourth down stop without seeing some yellow laundry. It's an epidemic. I wrote about this last week and usually don't like to have the same lead two weeks in a row, but it's out of control. The referees don't stop calling holding and pass interference penalties. When...

Michael Florio's Week 5 Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds

The waiver wire had been pretty thin to open the season, especially in deep leagues. Sure, there were weeks with one big piece to grab, but the chances are that in a 16-team league or deeper, people went very aggressive on that player, perhaps even spending all their FAAB on someone like Elijah Mitchell or...

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

The matchups of Week 4 delivered a blend of favorable and unwanted developments for managers. This included the return of Dalvin Cook and Darrell Henderson into their teams’ starting lineups.

For those fantasy players who did not have the foresight to have a suitable backup on their... Read More

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Through three weeks it seemed like defenses had the advantage in the NFL. However, Week 4 gave fantasy managers hope that the explosive offenses we saw for much of 2020 could get back on track again. 13 teams scored at least 27 points in Week 4 and 11 games went over a 40 point total.... Read More

IDP Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

As is always the case, fantasy football is a war of attrition. You start the year healthy and optimistic, only to face Week 5 without six of your key starters.

That said, there are some key additions available in plenty of leagues.... Read More
