The best way to get a leg up over your league mates in your fantasy league is by mapping out your defenses for the rest of the season. If you are someone who likes to stream defenses each week or are looking for the right defenses to start in Week 10 and beyond, you have […]

Audric Estimé is my pick to outscore Alvin Kamara from here. Jonah Coleman gets a top-10 running back finish, and Tank Dell becomes a top-15 receiver. These are more aggressive calls than I'd make in my rest-of-season rankings. I'm projecting Matthew Golden to turn his growing workload into a top-five finish. Colston Loveland has an […]

Welcome to Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season, and to our fantasy football Week 10 start/sit recommendations chart for all player matchups and all games. Today, we'll look at some interesting Week 10 lineup decisions for players like Josh Downs, Tank Dell, and more -- and how their matchups project for the week. Even […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football D/ST streamers and starts for Weeks 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the 2026 season. This article will identify the best D/ST to pick up for this week and in the weeks ahead.  Each week of the fantasy football season, we look at the top defenses to stream for the […]

The Washington Commanders and New York Giants kick off Week 10 on Thursday Night Football in an NFC East showdown featuring two teams currently headed in different directions. The Giants enter at 5-2-1 and sit atop the division, while Washington has struggled to a 2-5-1 record. New York is favored by 2.5 points at home, […]

The tight end position remains a weekly game of guesswork, but Week 10 offers some opportunities to exploit and a few potential landmines to avoid. With fantasy managers already navigating four teams on bye, finding reliable production at a position with little consistency could make all the difference. This is not the week to unquestioningly […]

Week 10 is all about finding the right matchups and knowing when to pump the brakes on some of fantasy football's biggest names. Parker Washington can take advantage of a Tennessee secondary that has struggled all season. At the same time, Jameson Williams faces a New England defense that has been giving up big plays […]

Hey RotoBallers! We are officially in the double-digit week of the season, which means our start/sit calls are even more crucial with fantasy playoff hopes on the line. Below, we'll look at some potential busts (one at each position) who could greatly underperform this coming weekend. Last week, we hit on most of our calls, […]

The biggest mistake fantasy managers can make in Week 10 is chasing last week's production instead of trusting the matchups. Chuba Hubbard has quietly developed into an RB1, Breece Hall is working his way back into a featured role, and Zach Charbonnet appears to be taking control of Seattle's backfield. All three have the opportunity, […]

Week 10 is shaping up to be a week where matchup analysis matters more than name value. Some familiar quarterbacks are worth trusting, but a few big names could also leave fantasy managers disappointed. Just because a quarterback has been productive doesn't mean you should automatically roll him out there, especially when the matchup presents […]

Time ticks onward as we proceed to double digits with Week 10, which sees four teams (and three fantasy-relevant kickers) hit their bye week. Many of you will be faced with replacing Chase McLaughlin and Cairo Santos, with Wil Lutz forcing a pivot for fewer. Chris Boswell returns to the pool and presents one play, […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our Week 10 defense (D/ST) streamers, starts, and tiered rankings. Each week of the fantasy football season, we will rank every defense from No. 1 to No. 32 and break them into tiers along with matchup analysis. This article will be your go-to stop for all defensive rankings and streamers. Last week, […]

Week 9 of the NFL season closes with a Monday Night battle between two of the best teams in the league. The 6-1 Bills travel to U.S. Bank Stadium to face a Vikings group that sports a matching 6-1 record. Both squads have looked like serious postseason contenders so far, and this MNF matchup features […]

This edition of our Key Starters and Tough Calls feature for Week 9 of the 2026 fantasy football season includes prime streamers and risky picks that may pan out. Scott Engel's Lineup Spotlights columns help you make the tough lineup decisions. The fantasy football players included in this Week 9 column are based on Scott's […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our weekly Start 'em and Sit 'em article! This Week 9 matchups analysis and fantasy football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em piece will hopefully help you make winning lineup decisions every week of the fantasy season.  Week 8 saw some unexpected performances that we called in this very article last week. Michael Wilson […]

The NFL season approaches the halfway point with a beautiful 11-game slate for the main DFS fantasy football contests on Sunday's Week 9 main slate. With 22 teams in the main player pool for the second straight week, several strong wide receiver matchups stand out. Getting the right receiver at the right DFS salary is […]

Welcome back to another deep dive into running back matchups for Week 9! This article has taken on a life of its own, leading me to uncover more info each week in an attempt to find the absolute best spots for backs every week. Last week was largely successful in that we established that Jaylen […]

Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 9. This week, we've got two teams on bye (Steelers and Titans). I'm subbing in for the great Adam Koffler for the next couple of weeks, so let's try to steer you in the right direction. Last week, Adam had some solid calls, including Rachaad White as a start […]

Welcome to main slate of Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season, and to our updated fantasy football Week 9 start/sit recommendations chart for all remaining player matchups and all games. Today, we'll look at some tough Week 9 start/sit decisions like Bo Nix, Keenan Allen, and more to see how their matchups project for […]

Chase Brown has not scored a touchdown since Week 1, but I am starting him against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. His eight catches against Tennessee were worth more in PPR than his entire rushing line. He gets an Atlanta defense that Tampa Bay ran through last week. Braelon Allen presents the tougher decision. He […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football D/ST streamers and starts for Weeks 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the 2026 season. This article will identify the best D/ST to pick up for this week and in the weeks ahead.  Every week of the fantasy football season, we dive into the best defenses to stream for the […]

We have officially entered the backstretch of the 2026 fantasy season, as managers look to peak at the right time. At this point, we have a pretty good idea of who the breakouts and busts are, but there are always a few sleepers who emerge in Weeks 15, 16, and 17. Last week, we bounced […]

Welcome back to our WR/CB Matchups for Week 9 of the 2026 fantasy football season. The Titans and Steelers have their bye week. 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 […]

Eight weeks into the 2026 NFL season, fantasy managers can see that even the most reliable players aren't immune to a bad matchup. Look at the Chicago running back from last week. At least D'Andre Swift was kind enough to score three touchdowns last week, because otherwise that would have been a miserable fantasy day. […]

Mike Gesicki has scored in five straight games, while Greg Dulcich has collected 13 catches over his last three appearances without a touchdown. Dulcich's steadier volume gives him the edge in PPR; Gesicki brings the stronger touchdown case. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans are on bye, leaving Pat Freiermuth managers searching for a replacement. […]

Malik Willis threw two touchdown passes across Miami's first five games. He has matched that total in each of his two appearances since the bye, making him my first Week 9 streaming choice against Detroit. His recent passing improvement matters after a quiet rushing performance against New England. Seattle plans to start Drew Lock against […]

Chase McLaughlin keeps turning the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' stalled drives into fantasy points. He enters Week 9 without a missed field goal, but Sunday's road matchup with the Chicago Bears presents a tougher assignment before the Buccaneers take their bye. That leaves a choice between his immediate value and a longer commitment elsewhere. Drew Stevens […]

Eight weeks into the 2026 season, we have enough matchup data to carry real weight instead of reflecting a handful of fluky early results, which is why sorting the true boom-and-bust candidates for Week 9 matters and can help you separate from your opponent and secure a much-needed victory. Defenses that have consistently held running […]

Welcome RotoBallers! After not having an early game last Sunday, the NFL is back with another international contest to kick off the Week 9 slate. On Sunday morning, the Bengals and Falcons will face off in Madrid in what could be a high-scoring affair. The Bengals enter this game with one of the league's top […]
