Whether you are just looking for some depth stashes or already need immediate starter replacements, we have you covered with our Week 2 RotoBaller Staff waiver wire picks, […]

Fantasy managers always need to be careful not to overreact to Week 1. This is especially true this year because games are averaging 53.3 points per game, not counting Monday Night's contest. Six games finished with more than 60 points. 10 teams had more than 65 snaps. These kinds of stats can overinflate the box […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks, with multiple games eclipsing the 60-point threshold. It'll be important for fantasy managers to weed through some of that and realize not all box scores are what they appear. This article breaks down my Week 2 fantasy football waiver wire pickups and stashes. Each position is broken into four […]

One high-scoring week of football is in the books, and now it is time for us all to take a deep breath and react completely rationally moving forward, right? Amidst all of the scoring, there were still plenty of duds, disappointments, and injuries to mull over. Let's take a calculated first step toward the title […]

Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season is officially in the books. The opening week featured games on Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, and Monday — and even included a game played down under in Australia between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams — to appease eager football fans after a long offseason. With the […]

Some of you should be thrilled with the numbers that […]

We finally got to watch real football that had real results this weekend. NFL and fantasy scoreboards were lighting up in Week 1 with big performances to open the year, and the rookies showed out. They all finally got their taste of action in the league, while some unfortunately had their “welcome to the NFL” […]

The wide receiver position always seems to have at least a few players who crush it every year that weren't drafted in most fantasy football leagues. The position also often features breakouts that don't come until later in the season, giving you an opportunity to boost your team significantly if you're able to land one. […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. Week 1 saw many fringe players disappoint and top players suffer serious injuries, which will send many managers to the waiver wire. Even though it is still early, managers shouldn't wait to drop a player with minimal […]

If you just realized that the only tight end on your roster is Miami’s Greg Dulcich, who pulls a hamstring every third game, it seems, then you might be in the market for a tight end even though we are only one week into the fantasy football season. Week 1 was interesting for top tight […]

The 2026 NFL season is finally here, and we saw some memorable performances in Week 1. Whether it was Caleb Williams showing that he may have taken another step as a player in 2026, finishing as the QB1 through Sunday’s games (37.2 points), or Lamar Jackson looking like he was in vintage form with a […]

The PGA TOUR heads to Asheville, North Carolina, this week for the inaugural Biltmore Championship at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, marking the first event of the FedExCup Fall. The tournament features a 132-player field, including several players who will compete in next... […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 1 is officially in the books, which means it's time to turn our attention to Week 2. While many are looking to target breakout players on the waiver wire like Devaughn Vele and Tyler Shough, savvy managers should pivot to high-upside stashes who could prove league-winning down the stretch. Below, we will […]

Did the high-scoring action from Week 1 make you feel alive?! Although we can't simply take one set of box scores and extrapolate the entire year, there is still intel to be gleaned and priors to adjust. We saw several double-digit fantasy performances from kickers; I count 12 by standard scoring measures going into Monday […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks, surprises, and upsets, making for a funky initial waiver pool on the horizon. Whether you're cruising to a 1-0 record on the back of a beatdown, or ailing from injuries and duds at 0-1, we're here attempting to strike a balance between preseason priors and ingesting one game's worth […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell played well in 2024 as a mostly pass-catching running back. He totaled 73 catches on 85 targets for 486 yards and three touchdowns, and played solidly as a pass-protector. He was expected to have a non-trivial passing-down role with the Bucs in 2026. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear likely. […]

Week 1 is officially in the books. Everybody loves their fantasy team right after the draft, but the best fantasy managers can objectively identify areas to improve and address them on the waiver wire. RotoBaller has plenty of articles to help fantasy managers in all league formats, but this one will cover deep-league waiver-wire targets […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 1 of the fantasy football season is in the books, which means it's already time to turn our attention to Week 2. Even though it is still early, it's crucial to set our optimal lineups. Last week, we hit on many of our bust picks, such as Quinshon Judkins and Marvin Harrison Jr., who were […]

One should never overreact to a small sample size. This is true in cancer research, political polling, and, most importantly, fantasy football. While this adage may go without saying, it bears repeating because overreaction is natural after Week 1. For example, one prominent fantasy analyst has said that Colston Loveland went from TE2 to TE9 […]

De'Zhaun Stribling left his Week 1 matchup against the Rams with a deltoid sprain in his ankle. What originally looked like a potential Achilles tear turned out to be much milder. However, Stribling is still expected to miss at least a month. The 49ers have not officially placed Stribling on injured reserve, but it seems […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker had an absolutely massive game in Week 1 for his team, despite playing in a loss. He hauled in eight of his nine targets for 138 yards and a touchdown, easily pacing his team in targets, catches, yards, and scores. This all came despite him not being universally considered […]

One of the biggest offseason moves before the 2026 regular season happened when the Philadelphia Eagles finally traded away disgruntled receiver A.J. Brown.  Fantasy managers everywhere hoped a change of scenery and a quarterback upgrade would get Brown back to form as an elite fantasy wide receiver. Unfortunately, Brown lasted just 31 snaps before suffering […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the NFL Commissioner's Exempt List for now, which renders him unable to play or practice with his team until he's removed. He's embroiled in a legal situation in which he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend. Obviously, while he's on this list, he will not step on the […]

We are back. Week 1 had monstrously large scoring across the board. Individual leagues will vary, but it was the second-highest all-time scoring week in my league's 16-year history. All that scoring means that almost everyone has something to hang their hat on even after a lackluster start to the season for some big fantasy […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught zero of his three targets in his team's Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Super Bowl rematch didn't feature the former Packers wideout contributing at all. In fact, he had a crucial drop on a route in which he was wide open, which could have […]

The biggest surprise of the early fantasy season happened before games kicked off in Week 1, when it was announced that Brock Bowers had undergone a knee procedure that would sideline him for the Raiders’ first game. For fantasy managers, it was an unfortunate déjà vu of the 2025 season, when Bowers suffered a knee […]
