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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Who Should I Pickup? 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 […]

Hey RotoBallers! Even though the waiver wire is often bare in dynasty formats, after a major trade or an injured player returns from the IR, managers may have to cut ties with players they hoped to stash for the foreseeable future. Through the opening five weeks, we have learned the importance of not cutting players […]

In the first five weeks of the fantasy football season, we've already seen some outstanding performances and some exciting rookie breakouts. Unfortunately, we've also seen many injuries in the early going, and some rookies have yet to even start their season. Jordyn Tyson has yet to make his NFL debut, but when will he be […]

Typically, the waiver wire is barren for running backs. It's tough to find startable talent in fantasy football on the waiver wire at this position, and genuine league-winning players are a dime a dozen. The last major waiver wire hero running back was Los Angeles Rams tailback Kyren Williams in 2023. This week feels different. […]

Week 6 gave us more Big Ten referee incompetence, and it may have cost Michigan State a win. We saw a turnover-fest in a battle of backups in Eugene. We saw one of those backups benched during the game. Weekday Conference USA gives us some action on Tuesday and Wednesday again this week. We have […]

Hey, RotoBallers! We are now officially in the second "full" week of the NHL season, and the dust has begun to settle. Fantasy managers are starting to identify potential breakout candidates and are growing concerned about many underperforming stars. Below are top options to acquire via trade and the waiver wire, as well as players […]

The calendar continues to fly forward with another entertaining slate of football chiseled into the history books as Week 5 threw plenty at us. We'll do our best to take an early swipe at the initial read on what's transpired and how it will affect our game moving forward. Let's check in on early adds […]

We didn't have any Power 4 teams taking on FCS teams last week. This week we have three teams partaking in the forbidden blowout win. That will help in covering for bye weeks. The Clemson, Stanford, and Texas A&M offenses (and defenses) have all had issues this year, but they all face completely overmatched opponents […]

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers. We have reached that point in the season where the NHL gets cute and starts every game 15 minutes after the last, with the first puck drop at 6:00 pm EST and the last at 11:00 pm EST. DraftKings is running two slates: a four-game slate for the earliest starts and a […]
