High-Upside Bench Stashes: Week 4

The arrival of Week 4 in the NFL has teams beginning to reveal their play calling tendencies.

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 4

The post-waiver pickups have probably not been as prevalent during the first three weeks of the NFL season in fantasy football leagues.

Just because things have been easier than usual on fantasy football general managers early on […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

As good as football has been this young season, the game is also laughable. The league wants these referees to call these ticky-tacky penalties. On the winning touchdown drive for the Chargers, they had a 4th-and-9 from the Chiefs 35 when Justin Herbert's pass was incomplete. But of course, a pass interference was called. It […]
