Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 10)

Even when you think you've got this fantasy football thing figured out, it turns out you don't. Last week, for example, I originally put Corey Clement on this list--I liked how he'd been looking and his usage was trending upwards. But then the Eagles traded for Jay Ajayi and I went back into the article […]

We have officially entered the home stretch of the fantasy regular season. As such, it is slim pickings on the waiver fire. Finding deep names for PPR leagues is no easy task in general, and it only gets harder and hard the later we get. Nevertheless, it's not like there's no one left at all. […]

Picking Up The Pieces After Deshaun Watson's Injury

Yesterday's season-ending injury left a lot of us in a severe state of fantasy football related depression, to the extent that that's a legitimate phenomenon (it is).

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 9)

As I write this, it is Monday evening and I am trying not to fall asleep after only getting about five hours of sleep last night--and after being awake all of yesterday. I don't miss NFL football unless I have to, so I woke up for the Browns/Vikings London game and watched the first half […]

In today’s installment, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain as to my motivation for writing this article each week, but I’ll start with a mea culpa on the Green Bay Packers passing game. My gut call on the Packers pass-catchers was that they were more likely to surprise in a positive […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 7 was a rather ugly slate overall, though folks who didn’t bail on Ezekiel Elliott were handsomely rewarded (as were all Dallas-player stocks) and many might feel that “no news is good news” after we’ve seen several top players go down these past few weeks.
