The Arizona Cardinals were without their starting running back, Jeremiyah Love (ankle), due to an aggravation of the high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL preseason. In his place, running backs Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight, the second and third-string RBs on the depth chart, stepped up and handled the bulk […]

With six weeks of NFL football for the 2026 campaign in the record books, trends are becoming clear, and there is an abundance of data to sift through for fantasy managers. It also means that a lot has changed since Week 1, and a lot will continue to change as the 2026 season marches on. […]

Pivoting when your players are injured, underperforming, or on a bye is always the name of […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) missed his third game in a row with a quad injury after falling hard on his thigh while being tackled out of bounds in Week 3. He hasn't been able to play since then. In his absence, Jets RB Braelon Allen has led the backfield, garnering 25 […]

It would be nice if every season were like the 2024 NFL season, when we thought the future of wide receiver production in the NFL was bright. WRs Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Ladd McConkey (concussion) were all going off. It also appeared that WRs Xavier Worthy and Ricky Pearsall had bright futures. Rather […]

Injuries to starting running backs often pave the way for their backups to be successful in fantasy football for some stretch of time. The Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona Cardinals are all dealing with their RB1s having various ailments right now. It's not guaranteed that the backup will give you good production in the […]

We're through six full weeks of NFL action in the 2026 season. By now, we typically expect to see the beginnings of breakout seasons for several young wide receivers. Yet others may be hitting their strides on new teams, and others still have offenses that need to gel first before they become fantasy relevant. Whatever […]

Michael Mayer is a tight end masquerading as a TE1 in Las Vegas, and fantasy managers need to start paying attention. Even with Brock Bowers commanding attention in the Raiders' passing game, Mayer is carving out a valuable role with strong efficiency, short-area targets, and recent volume, making him a legitimate Week 7 starter. Meanwhile, […]

San Francisco's passing game lost another receiver during Monday night's win over Washington, but the setback doesn't change De'Zhaun Stribling's immediate situation. Mike Evans exited with an Achilles issue after catching three passes for 94 yards. Coach Kyle Shanahan later indicated the problem wasn't serious. For Stribling, the issue is an ankle injury that has […]

Fantasy managers drafted Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, hoping that he would get the target share needed to re-establish himself as a potential top-10 fantasy wide receiver after showing that potential to start the 2024 season. Rice was starting to see his role creep up gradually during the start of the season before […]

The 2026 season hasn't been kind to fantasy running back depth. There are 10 running backs who are averaging 18.0+ fantasy points per game, but only 25 total rushers who are averaging 10.0+ points per game. The lack of solid RB2 options has led fantasy managers to churn the waiver wire each week, hoping that […]

Seattle offered a better update on Jadarian Price's chest injury. The rookie running back remains on injured reserve, but coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that his absence might not stretch much beyond the required minimum. That doesn't make Price a Week 7 option. The Seahawks still have one game left before he's eligible to return, […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (deep vein thrombosis) is set to miss significant time due to blood clots deep in his lungs that were discovered during medical scans. Technically, he played through these in Week 5. Eagles medical staff knew he had a blood clot in his calf, but cleared him to play anyway. Later, […]

No one can stop Malik Nabers in Week 7, and apparently not even J.J. McCarthy can slow him down the way he did Justin Jefferson. Nabers has been an absolute fantasy wrecking ball since returning from injury, and with the Giants continuing to funnel targets his way, he belongs in every starting lineup regardless of […]

Hey RotoBallers! As we turn the page to Week 7, it's almost time to set our next round of fantasy lineups. With four teams on a bye and many star-player injuries, managers may need to make tough lineup decisions to secure a win. In this piece, we will look at four players who could disappoint […]

This week, we will look at some sneaky "backup" running backs who could see the value surge over the second half and a handful of rookie WRs on the rise. This week's must-add fantasy […]

Week 6 brought a low-scoring slate to our doorsteps just as the first four-team bye drained the player pool, so that was fun! Here's hoping that you are coming into this article from a position of strength, but we're here for everyone. No matter the team needs, we've got you covered with our famous waiver […]

Week 7 has arrived. Another week is in the books, and most fantasy football leagues are approaching the regular season's halfway point. Beyond injuries, fantasy managers will face bye weeks again as the Bills, Jaguars, Chargers, and Commanders are off.  Whether you need an injury replacement, a bye-week fill-in, bench stash, or a spark for […]

With injuries mounting week after week, it's getting harder and harder to find players to cut. Do they have two working legs and a heartbeat? If so, I want 'em! That's obviously an exaggeration, but seriously, you want me to drop Jaylen Waddle? I just lost Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, and Davante Adams! With bye […]

Hey RotoBallers! With another slate of NFL action in the books, it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. While many may be looking for short-term replacements, we'll take an alternative look in this piece. Below, we will spotlight some sneaky high-upside stashes who could benefit your team in the long run. Who […]

  Week 6 was not an ideal week for quarterback production in fantasy football. Not only were fantasy managers missing some big names because of bye weeks (Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, and Kyler Murray), but teams in general struggled to put up points through the air. Only six quarterbacks (Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Shough, Drake Maye, […]

If you have been attempting to navigate a growing number of obstacles as you assemble your rosters, you are far from alone. Injuries continue to prevent many of you from utilizing your preferred lineups, while declining production, unpredictable workloads, and other challenges may also send you searching for options on this week's waiver wire.  The emergence […]

Week 6 showed the impact of the waiver wire, especially at wide receiver. Germie Bernard stole the spotlight with another huge game, looking like an early waiver-wire league winner who could make a major impact down the stretch. That's the beauty of the waiver wire. Players who weren't even on the fantasy radar a few […]

Another week, another round of byes. Four more teams are on bye. Tight end lovers will have to live without Jacksonville’s Brenton Strange and Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid, but otherwise the position is quite all right. The main men are playing and healthy for the most part. But if you need a tight end because you […]

With another four-team bye on tap for Week 7 and many big legs returning to action after resting during the Week 6 byes, we've got plenty to talk about! Many chose to dump their bye-week kickers in place of other needs, which we agree with, but now there's a healthy waiver race to run. Between […]
