Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is now on his second injury stint away from football as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Hamstring issues have bothered Smith many times throughout his career. It's unclear whether he keeps injuring the same one and aggravating the same injury, though that's often the case. It's looking […]

The success of the running backs in fantasy football in 2025 pushed the position up draft boards in 2026. Fantasy managers who were hoping to go with a “Hero RB” approach were forced to take a chance on a running back in the first four rounds. One player that gained steam throughout the summer was […]

Zach Charbonnet had a career-best season for the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. The third-year running back formed a potent 1-2 punch with veteran Kenneth Walker III to elevate the Seattle rushing attack and open up opportunities for Sam Darnold in the play-action game. Charbonnet had arguably taken over the lead role in the backfield heading […]

The Los Angeles Rams were widely considered the Super Bowl favorite after trading for defensive upgrades at edge rusher (Myles Garrett) and cornerback (Trent McDuffie) and coaxing Aaron Donald out of retirement. The expectation was that those moves, combined with the return of Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams on offense, would create a […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) wasn't able to play in Week 7 due to an Achilles injury. He didn't tear the Achilles tendon, fortunately, but he is dealing with tendonitis, which is often painful inflammation of the tendon. This tends to be an overuse injury and is the same issue that caused […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) has now missed four full games of NFL action due to a quad injury he suffered in Week 3. Hall appeared to be the clear lead running back for his team before the injury. In his absence, RB Braelon Allen, his backup, has performed well. So when […]

Jadarian Price is not expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season. Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the rookie will return to practice ahead of Week 8 after four games out with a chest injury. Don't count on Price against the Chicago Bears on Monday, November 2, even though he […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) is currently on injured reserve due to a heel injury he suffered in Week 2. It was the result of him working his way back too quickly from an offseason ankle surgery. He rushed back to practice and play despite not being fully healthy. He was placed on […]

De'Zhaun Stribling is not ruled out for the season. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he still hopes the rookie wide receiver can return in December after ankle surgery. Stribling has little immediate redraft appeal, though he has a chance to contribute late in 2026. San Francisco is on its Week […]

Omar Cooper Jr. is a priority if he's still available after following his first 100-yard game with another Sunday. Caleb Douglas delivered a big fantasy score, catching both of the Miami Dolphins' touchdown passes in his return from an ankle injury. Antonio Williams had the weekend off, but the Washington Commanders' loss of Terry McLaurin […]

Jonah Coleman is the first name I'd target from this group. He returned from an ankle injury Sunday and gave the Denver Broncos a reason to expand his workload. Kaelon Black is insurance for Christian McCaffrey managers heading into the San Francisco 49ers' bye. Seth McGowan's workload reached a season high with 12 touches Sunday, […]

Bam Knight has the strongest immediate lineup case in this group, provided Jeremiyah Love misses another week. He has led the Arizona Cardinals in rushing in consecutive games while Love has been sidelined. Samaje Perine scored Sunday but saw his workload shrink sharply from his previous game. Mike Washington Jr. remains an interesting backup behind […]

Week 7 showed the impact of the waiver wire, especially at wide receiver. Omar Cooper Jr. 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 […]

Week 7 brought fantasy managers some impressive production from names that have struggled with consistency to start the 2026 season. Four quarterbacks (Bo Nix, Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, and Malik Willis) scored more than 28.0 fantasy points. Another four (Geno Smith, Caleb Williams, Michael Penix Jr., and Kirk Cousins) had more than 20.0. Regardless of […]

Week 7 brought more scoring in the early slate, but "National Tight End Day" still left many of you with lackluster scoring out of some premier names as we look toward Week 8. Let's take an initial pass with our eyes on the horizon to offer up names for both shallow and deep leagues alike. […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was the consensus first rookie off the board in fantasy drafts this season. In addition, Love was selected third overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2026 NFL Draft, so it is safe to say that there were high expectations for him to begin this season. Love sustained […]

We're almost at the halfway point of the 2026 NFL season. It should be time for numerous players to start improving their game and inching towards fantasy football relevance. As there are only a handful of elite NFL tight ends that are must-starts every week in fantasy football, fantasy managers naturally look to the waiver […]
