Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) pulled up on a run to the sidelines and exited his Week 4 game with a hamstring injury. Barkley has missed just six games in his last four seasons, so it's not common to see him on the sidelines for that reason. The Eagles' season hasn't been going […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (toe) is dealing with a turf toe injury. He's been walking in a boot ever since injuring the toe during a Week 4 contest in which he rushed the ball 30 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Monangai's monster effort has resulted in many fantasy managers questioning if […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) won't help fantasy lineups in Week 6. The rookie has been on injured reserve since October 3, and Thursday's matchup with Denver falls within the mandatory four-game absence. The harder decision is whether he's worth holding until he can return. Seattle spent a first-round pick on Price, but […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) was a massive fantasy football darling in dynasty and even redraft circles after he was selected by the reigning Super Bowl champions late in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Price wasn't the starting RB for his team in college -- that was now-Arizona Cardinals RB […]

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was the subject of much hype in the offseason as a potential breakout star at TE for the Rams. He put some encouraging things on film in his rookie season in 2025, and his athleticism was of particular note. He's a fantastic deep threat, especially as a […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs hasn't taken a regular-season snap in 2026, and another week has passed without clarity on when he might return. The Packers host Dallas on Sunday night, but Jacobs remains on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List. For fantasy managers who drafted him as a weekly starter, five missed games […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason looked to be starting the season in a big role for the Minnesota Vikings when he had 15 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. But his hot start was quickly cut short as he suffered a thumb injury in the contest. He hasn't played in […]

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara managed just six scrimmage yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota. With Travis Etienne Jr. already on injured reserve, the veteran seemed positioned for more opportunities. Instead, Kendre Miller led the backfield in carries and Kamara barely saw the field. A back injury complicated his preparation for Week […]

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery opened the season with three touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. Since then, he's gone four games without finding the end zone, and a groin injury has made his short-term outlook even more difficult to trust. Montgomery left Sunday's 26-3 win over the Tennessee Titans in the second quarter. Head […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) was the first pick of the second round in the 2026 NFL Draft. 49ers general manager John Lynch selected him in a move that was widely considered another one of his reaches. We haven't been able to see whether he was worth his draft position initially, however, […]

Matchups mean more than ever before this year, more than the names on the back of jerseys. We’ve seen star tight ends stumble against tough defenses and mid-tier fantasy tight ends win weeks for managers against mediocre defenses. After five weeks of football, it’s safe to say we can compile a list of defenses to […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey went from catching 10 passes against San Francisco in Week 4 to catching none against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. He finished Denver's 23-17 win with three carries for seven yards, and his only target fell incomplete. That's a difficult result to absorb when bye weeks are already […]

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) has now missed the past three games with an injury he picked up after Week 2. He got off to a solid start to the season, with 123 receiving yards through his first three games, but hasn't been able to add to that total since. Mitchell was […]

Week 6 is here, and fantasy managers are already debating which wide receivers to start and sit in this week's matchups. Several bye weeks are also making the decision even more difficult. Managers are weighing their options, including bounce-back candidates, elite matchups, and players whose usage hasn’t matched their original price tag. Josh Downs is […]

Hey RotoBallers! It's already time to begin turning our attention to Week 6 of the NFL season. With now more than a month of data in the books, it is becoming even easier to spot potential lineup landmines. Below, we will look at one player from each position (QB, RB, WR, TE) who could disappoint […]

Week 6 is upon us. Where has the time gone? It seems like we just finished fantasy drafts and were excited to watch this year’s breakout players. Now we’re a month into the season, and Halloween is only a few weeks away. The fantasy football season stops for no one. What also never stops is […]

RotoBaller drops our top fantasy football Week 6 waiver wire pickups for the 2026 season for RB, WR, TE, and QB. In this week's edition, we will look at two running backs who could sit atop their depth charts for upcoming weeks (and potentially longer) and spotlight a rookie wideout with a clear path to […]

Bye weeks started in Week 5 but will ramp up in Week 6. Four teams will be out of action this week, three of which (Detroit, Minnesota, and Cincinnati) have numerous fantasy-relevant players at every position. Being able to target under-the-radar waiver wire options can be the difference between winning and losing at this point […]

Who Should I Drop? Who Should I Keep? Some of the most common Week 6 fantasy football cut candidates include players like Jordyn Tyson, Dalton Schultz, Mike Washington Jr., Dohnte Meyers, Adonai Mitchell, Sam Darnold, Tank Dell, Jaylen Wright, and Alec Pierce. However, don't worry, we are here to help you make the right waiver […]

After an eventful Week 5, the fantasy football season rolls on. This year has brought plenty of breakouts, busts, and surprises at quarterback. That’s left some gamers in tough spots. Bye weeks are now underway, and fantasy owners will have to manage that factor moving forward. Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Kyler Murray are the […]

Unfortunately, with five weeks now complete in the 2026 NFL season, many players are dealing with injuries, and several of those players currently find themselves on the injured reserve list. One notable player who is on short-term IR is Jadarian Price (chest), a rookie running back and starter for the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks selected […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another week of NFL action is behind us, which means it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. In the opening month of the season, we have learned the importance of stashing, as many "backups" have become lineup locks, like Emanuel Wilson. Below, we will look at some sneaky high-upside stashes […]

Who Should I Drop? Who Should I Keep? Some of the most common Week 6 fantasy football cut candidates include players like Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Addison, Bo Nix, Quentin Johnston, Justin Herbert, Rico Dowdle, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Tyreek Hill, and Josh Jacobs. However, don't worry, we are here to help you […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (toe) had a promising rookie season in which he looked, at times, like he was set to take on a bigger role in his team's backfield. He was far from consistent, though. Rookie players having such promising seasons as him tend to carve out larger roles for themselves in […]

Today is the NHL's 16-game staggered-start slate, one I wish they used more often. The first game starts at 6 p.m. EST, and each subsequent game starts exactly 15 minutes later, with the Bruins-Sharks game as the final game at 11 p.m. EST. Today's picks will all use the odds on the most unique and […]

Who Should I Start? Who Should I Sit? Some of the most common Week 6 fantasy football lineup decisions involve players like Denzel Boston, Germie Bernard, Jeremiyah Love, Carnell Tate, Kenyon Sadiq, Antonio Williams, Mike Washington Jr., Eli Raridon, Makai Lemon. However, don't worry; we are here to help you make these decisions and build winning […]

Some of the most common Week 6 fantasy football waiver wire decisions involve players like Samaje Perine, Tre Tucker, Xavier Worthy, Tyjae Spears, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Robinson, Khalil Shakir, Kendrick Bourne. However, don't worry, we are here to help you make these waiver wire decisions and make winning moves […]
