Wide receiver is where fantasy managers can get burned by chasing last week’s box score. In Week 5, I’m leaning heavily into opportunity, matchup, and underlying usage rather than simply trusting the names we drafted in August. Michael Wilson and Malik Nabers are walking into situations I want to attack, while some bigger names have […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 5 of the NFL season kicks off in just 48 hours, so it's time to start setting the next round of our lineups. With many injuries and the first set of bye weeks beginning, managers need to be even more careful when constructing their lineups. Below, we will look at one player […]

Running back is all about opportunity, but opportunity means a lot more when the matchup is right. In Week 5, several backs are walking into situations where volume, game script, and defensive weaknesses could create monster fantasy performances. Jaylen Warren and Chase Brown are two names I’m especially interested in this week, and both have […]

Week 5 is where fantasy football gets uncomfortable. We’ve got quarterbacks who have been putting up monster numbers but suddenly face nightmare matchups, and others who haven’t exactly lit up the scoreboard but are walking into fantasy-friendly situations. And this week, I’m leaning into the matchups. The biggest trap? Assuming early-season production automatically makes someone […]

With four weeks of our beloved 2026 fantasy football season in the rearview mirror, we know that the impulse is to simply ignore kickers altogether as the initial wave of excitement and sweating lineups wears off. However, looking for edges wherever possible is how you win the most over time! And when the bye weeks […]

Week 4 in the NFL is the last week that all 32 NFL teams will be in action until Thanksgiving week, with bye weeks just around the corner. We also have the first of the NFL London Games, leaving 12 games on the full DFS fantasy football slate on Sunday afternoon. I'm excited to dive […]

Another Sunday of NFL football awaits. Many running backs will be handed the ball on Sunday, but which backs will make the most of those opportunities and rack up big yardage totals while also finding the end zone? Those are the backs we're targeting in our NFL DFS contests! We don't have to worry about […]

Welcome back to our WR/CB Matchups for Week 4 of the 2026 fantasy football season. Wide receiver injuries may cause fantasy managers to consider risky options, so several updates will occur throughout the week as injury reports come in. For those unfamiliar, this weekly series looks at fantasy football matchups for wide receivers versus the […]

Week 4 is the first week the numbers actually start to matter. Three games of snaps, target shares, and defensive tape are on the board, and the slate is split between games built to score and games built to grind. Jaguars-Bengals sits at 51.5 total, the highest on the board, with Lions-Panthers right behind at […]

After three full weeks of the fantasy football season, we finally have enough information to start separating a slow start from players who might actually be having a problem. Roles are changing, injuries are piling up (I mean, they are really piling up!), and some players we felt great about in August and early September […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football D/ST streamers and starts for Weeks 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the 2026 season. This article will identify the best D/ST to pick up for this week and in the weeks ahead.  This week's edition looks at the best defenses to stream over the next few weeks. This article […]

We're back with another week of start 'em, sit 'em. With injuries piling up and players either underperforming or overperforming, there's always a need to analyze your roster and make sound management decisions. We did just ok last week on our starts and sits. For the starts, only Jeremiyah Love hit. Adonai Mitchell didn't end […]

Welcome back to our NFL Survivor Pool Picks for Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season! For anyone who isn't familiar, each week we give you our recommended Survivor Pool picks to target and also avoid for 2026 Survivor leagues. This week I'm pinch-hitting on this feature for our friend Kevin Tompkins -- kind of […]

Welcome back to our NFL Pick'em Pool Picks for Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season. There have already been 48 NFL games this season, and we've learned a lot about all 32 teams. Some questions do still exist, though. Are the Raiders a legitimate playoff contender? Can the Giants, Commanders, and Bears keep winning […]

Week 4 of the NFL season wraps up with a Monday Night meeting between NFC South rivals, as the Atlanta Falcons travel to the Big Easy to take on the New Orleans Saints. The return of Michael Penix to the Atlanta lineup was a jolt of energy, as the Falcons cruised past the Packers in […]

Week 4 is where I start trusting September usage a little more than whatever we thought the backfields would look like in August. Three games is not a huge sample, but it is enough to spot a few jobs that are changing quickly. That matters most in the RB2 and flex range. Some managers are […]

As we enter Week 4, injuries are becoming a major factor, affecting fantasy football lineups worldwide. All 32 teams are dealing with injuries at quarterback, wide receiver, or even on defense, making this list even more important to read heading into this week. We stayed hot in Week 3, starting Josh Downs and Deebo Samuel […]

The NFL makes its first 2026 trip to London this Sunday. The Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders are set to square off at 9:30 AM ET to kick off the Week 4 Sunday slate. Both squads enter this game banged up, with Indy and Washington each coming in with several players that have either been […]

The tight end position is off to the hottest start in recent memory. TE17 Sam LaPorta is averaging roughly the same half-PPR PPG as WR32 Luther Burden III (9.1 vs. 9.3). LaPorta is currently outscoring RB25 Kyle Monangai, who is at 8.5 half-PPR PPG. Crazy hot start, but will it hold? While we've gotten some […]

Welcome to Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, and to our fantasy football Week 4 start/sit recommendations chart for all player matchups and all games. Today, we'll look at some interesting Week 4 lineup decisions for players like TreVeyon Henderson, Jadarian Price, Justin Herbert, and more -- and how their matchups project for the week. […]

Congratulations are due to Travis Hunter, a player many projected to lead all defenders in total fantasy points by a wide margin this season. The Heisman winner nabbed the first interception of his career in Week 3, which was a big milestone. Unfortunately, that one play also accounted for 34.1% of his total fantasy points […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are what Thursday Night Football used to be! Low-scoring and unattractive. Both teams enter the game at 2-1 after dramatic Week 3 victories, and Thursday's winner will get an early advantage in the AFC North race, where all teams currently stand at 2-1. Don't expect another offensive explosion like […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 3 of the NFL season is already behind us, which means it's time to begin setting our lineups for Week 4. While it is still relatively early in the season, we now have three full weeks of data to consider before putting the finishing touches on our lineups. In this piece, we […]

Week 4 is here, and the running back position has no shortage of tough decisions. We’ve got some explosive matchup plays, a few uncomfortable deep-league swings, and several backs whose usage has me either ready to buy in—or slam the brakes. Bucky Irving gets a dream matchup with Green Bay, Aaron Jones could see a […]

Week 4 is here, and the wide receiver position is loaded with some serious boom potential—but there are also a few names I’m not willing to trust. We’ve got bounce-back candidates, elite matchups, and some players whose usage hasn’t matched the fantasy price tag. Tetairoa McMillan gets a dream matchup with Detroit, Zay Flowers could […]
