Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of our weekend start 'em sit' em columns.

In this week's edition, we will highlight three running backs who have been trending toward […]

Wide Receiver Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7 (2025)

It's hard to believe it's Week 7 already. It's even harder to believe that it's Week 7 and the Ravens have the same record as the Browns, Titans, and Saints. That has nothing to do with the rest of this article, as no wide receiver from any of those four teams is featured, but it's […]

Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Fantasy Football Trends for Week 7 (2025)

Week 7 should bring the return of George Kittle, which should be a major boost to many fantasy lineups that have been waiting for him. The tight-end position lacks elite options, so losing Kittle was surely a big blow. This week, fantasy managers will need to adjust to Dalton Kincaid being on a bye. Brock […]

Expectations are a tricky thing with IDP leagues, especially those that don't use Premium Scoring.

The hits keep on coming, in what feels like one of the most injury-plagued beginnings to an NFL season in recent memory.

Steelers vs. Bengals Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Thursday Night - Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2025 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

If you thought the kicker position would be drama-free this season, you were very mistaken.

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2025)

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2025)

Stop me if you have heard this before: tight end decisions are never what they seem and aren't easy. Tyler Higbee (14.0) finished Week 6 as a top 10 fantasy option despite posting a pair of goose eggs earlier this season. Rookie Oronde Gadsden also made his presence felt with an 11.8-point fantasy performance, just […]
