This week I'm pinch-hitting on this feature for our friend Kevin Tompkins -- kind of […]

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. It's tough to predict TE performance before the season. Even highly drafted options like Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland have been extremely disappointing this season. He broke out last […]

The NFL will take another trip to London Sunday morning. To kick off Sunday's Week 6 slate, we will see a divisional game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans.

Week 6 is upon us. Where has the time gone? It seems like we just finished fantasy drafts and were excited to watch this year’s breakout players. Now we’re a month into the season, and Halloween is only a few weeks away. The fantasy football season stops for no one. What also never stops is […]

Week 6 is here, and fantasy managers are already debating which wide receivers to start and sit in this week's matchups. Several bye weeks are also making the decision even more difficult. Managers are weighing their options, including bounce-back candidates, elite matchups, and players whose usage hasn’t matched their original price tag. Josh Downs is […]

Matchups mean more than ever before this year, more than the names on the back of jerseys. We’ve seen star tight ends stumble against tough defenses and mid-tier fantasy tight ends win weeks for managers against mediocre defenses. After five weeks of football, it’s safe to say we can compile a list of defenses to […]

After an eventful Week 5, the fantasy football season rolls on. This year has brought plenty of breakouts, busts, and surprises at quarterback. That’s left some gamers in tough spots. Bye weeks are now underway, and fantasy owners will have to manage that factor moving forward. Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Kyler Murray are the […]

With now more than a month of data in the books, it is becoming even easier to spot potential lineup landmines.

As good as some tight ends have been this season, more than a handful have been semi-to-massive disappointments. Unfortunately, disappointment only happens when expectations are high. Looking back at preseason ADP (average draft position), five tight ends have been a negative investment so far. This week, we're focusing on these five early-season disappointments. Call this […]

Suspensions have been the name of the game this week, with the NFL handing down multiple swift, well-deserved suspensions to kick off the league’s business week. Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson was suspended for an after-game punch, 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was suspended for a headbutt, and Montez Sweat got a PED ban. Conspicuously absent […]

Today, we'll look at some tough Week 5 start/sit decisions like Ollie Gordon II, Emanuel Wilson, Will Shipley, and more to see how their […]

Saquon Barkley is out, Miami has lost De'Von Achane for the season, and Seattle remains without Jadarian Price. Those absences have pushed backup running backs into Week 5 lineups, but some have shown considerably more than others. Emanuel Wilson has already handled at least 21 carries twice this season. Ollie Gordon II just delivered his […]

The first quarter of the season has officially ended, and fantasy managers are looking to attack the next 12 weeks. Bye weeks and injuries are factors heading into Week 5, and starting the right wide receiver is crucial. Last week, we had some misses, starting Josh Downs and Jordan Addison, but we also had some […]

The Week 5 NFL DFS main slate is shaping up to be a fun one. We have another international game (Philly vs. Jax) and two teams on byes (KC and Carolina) that make this a smaller slate than usual, so we are going to see some condensed rostership at the running back position. Jahmyr Gibbs […]

It's hard to believe we're almost a quarter of the way through the 2026 NFL season. But here we are, entering Week 5, a make-or-break week for a lot of fantasy managers. Last week, our start calls weren't the best. Mack Hollins looked like he was going to crush it, but suffered a mid-game injury, […]

Four weeks is enough to stop treating every spike like a trend. Week 5 still has a split personality. Detroit at Arizona and Buffalo at the Rams both sit near a 54.5 total, with the Lions’ implied team total around 30 and the Rams near 28.5, the two highest marks on the board. Houston at […]

Four weeks into the NFL season, it's becoming easier to identify the bad matchups and fantasy football landmines. Last week, we were essentially nine-for-10 in selecting busts. As we have seen, a difficult matchup, a change in offensive philosophy, or an injury to a teammate can turn a reliable starter into a lineup bust. This […]

Small sample sizes can […]
