But confusion has arisen once […]

Week 13 Tight End Outlooks: Travis Kelce & Gary Barnidge
The tight end position has not been this perplexing in years.

Tight End Outlooks: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Ladarius Green and Owen Daniels
If you still own Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins in any redraft leagues, it’s time for you to drop him. He remained limited in practice this week and we have no reason to believe that he will play in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. If he doesn’t play, it will be the […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Week 6 Category Streamers
Week 6 has finally arrived! As you’ll soon see, the talent pool I was forced to write about this week is laughably poor, but that doesn’t mean they are any less important to your fantasy week.

Meyers Leonard (POR, PF/C) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 63% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Meyers Leonard has been on everyone's fantasy radar since the playoffs last season.

Andrew Nicholson (PF, ORL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Yahoo!

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deep Leagues OWNED: 1% of Yahoo!

Marqise Lee Might Start, Peyton Manning Has Cast Removed and a Kendall Wright Update
