As we transition from the start of the 2026 NFL season to midseason, the waiver wire has been heating up with more interesting names.

Week 6 is approaching, and bye weeks are a major factor.

Last week, everyone we listed, including the starts and the sits, was a bust by any standard. […]

Four teams are on bye in Week 6, and the running back options are getting thinner. Some fantasy managers are dealing with injured starters, while others are trying to decide whether last week's production is worth trusting again.

Thursday Night Football is the enemy of fantasy football. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only player who managed to score more than 14.7 PPR points in the Broncos vs. Seahawks matchup, and Bo Nix once again "found a way to win" with 4.0 yards per attempt. He now has 13 wins in games with 6.0 yards […]

Week 5 brought some intriguing NFL matchups. The Vikings offense showed some signs of life, and the Texans made waves against the Titans.

Streaming tight ends in fantasy football occasionally lands you gems that you can start for the rest of the season. More often, though, it's necessary.
