Welcome back to our NFL Survivor Pool Picks for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season!

The tight end position is often the noisest for fantasy football. It's incredibly common for random no-names to finish in the top 10 on any given week. Because of the lack of options and the position's general scarcity, fantasy managers often get caught chasing yesterday's points. On the surface, adding a tight end who had […]

Early in the year, every team in your fantasy football league looks strong. This is because most players are healthy and there aren't any bye weeks.

We saw several double-digit fantasy performances from kickers; I count 12 by standard scoring measures going into Monday […]

Week 1 was our annual reminder that NFL head coaches don't care about fantasy football … at all. In fact, some evidence may suggest that they actively dislike a hobby that helps elevate the salaries of everyone in the league, with some schemes and game scripts seemingly engineered specifically to kill our fun … at […]

Week 2 of the 2026 NFL and fantasy football season kicks off Thursday night with what is probably the best game on the entire schedule.

Week 1 gave fantasy managers plenty of information about running back workloads, but it also created plenty of new questions. Which backfields are actually committees? Which players are going to see the valuable touches? And which Week 1 performances were simply the result of a favorable game script? One week isn’t enough to have all […]

Week 1 gave fantasy managers plenty to digest at the wide receiver position. Some players immediately looked like the stars we expected them to be, while others left us wondering whether their roles, target volume, or offensive environment will support consistent production. Now the real challenge begins: figuring out what we can trust and what […]

The tight end position is once again giving fantasy managers plenty to think about. Week 1 gave us some big performances, some frustrating duds, and a few surprises that could force us to rethink what we thought we knew heading into the season. But one week isn’t enough to completely rewrite the fantasy landscape. Volume, […]

Week 1 running back decisions are always a little uncomfortable.

Week 1 is always one of the most challenging weeks of the season because fantasy managers must balance offseason expectations […]

The tight end position can be one of the most frustrating spots in fantasy football. Every year, managers spend countless hours debating matchups, target shares, and touchdown upside, only to watch a random waiver-wire tight end outscore their starter. That's why elite options are so valuable. If you drafted Trey McBride or Colston Loveland, congratulations—you […]
