And just like that, 12% of the fantasy football season is in the books (14% if you count our "regular season" through Week 14). Many of you just experienced low-scoring whiplash after an electric Week 1, so now you're going to act rationally, yes? We join you to take a deep breath and get those […]

We've all felt the urge to rage-drop a particular player. Our emotions can sometimes get the best of all of us. However, when we're making waiver wire moves, they should be calculated and purposeful. Unfortunately, every new addition comes with a cost. Especially early in the season, we want to be confident in who we're […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks. Unfortunately, Week 2 has been the opposite. It's been filled with awful weather, low-scoring contests, and more injuries than fantasy managers would like to count. The injuries will likely create a busy waiver week as teams scramble to find replacements. There may not be any league winners on the […]

Week 2 of the fantasy season reminded us that football can be brutal. Major injuries took out several quarterbacks (Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jaxson Dart), running backs (Jadarian Price and Saquon Barkley), wide receivers (Malik Nabers, Mike Evans, and Alec Pierce), and tight ends (Dallas Goedert, David Njoku, and Eli Raridon). Those injuries could […]

Week 2 was quite interesting from a "Jesus Christ, I have so many injured receivers on my fantasy football rosters, I really hope some guys break out this week so I can add them off waivers and hope they save me from certain doom" perspective. There were a few surprise performances. A few big games […]

If your fantasy football team is going to be bad, let it be bad during the first two weeks when terrible teams get priority picking on the waiver wire. The shelves are stocked with great buys like a Target or a Walmart! The bye weeks are not happening yet, and thank goodness! Fantasy managers need […]

It was glorious to have football back in our lives during Week 1. Unfortunately, Week 2 reminded us of this game's harsh realities.

A modest second week followed the outpouring of points seen in Week 1, but surely you pressed the right buttons, and Lady Luck brought you the win. Kickers remain the beloved, exceptionally volatile pieces of our game, but that doesn't mean you trip yourself up by simply locking one into place for the entire year. […]

Sometimes smart people can do dumb things. This is particularly true of “genius” coaches who occasionally buy too much into their own hype. Sometimes they find themselves believing they or their schemes mean more than the talent on the field, or that they can craft something that never works into victory. This past Sunday we […]

Week 2 was a relatively sloppy, low-scoring slate compared to the high expectations set by a bombastic opening week. As tempting as it is to take two games' worth of data as gospel (we do have a "pattern" with a pair), remember that matchups, weather, injuries, and random chance can still wreak havoc with a […]

It’s only Week 2, and there are already injuries that fantasy managers have to maneuver around. There are also players that we may be worried about and want to replace in their starting lineups.
