As good as some tight ends have been this season, more than a handful have been semi-to-massive disappointments. Unfortunately, disappointment only happens when expectations are high. Looking back at preseason ADP (average draft position), five tight ends have been a negative investment so far. This week, we're focusing on these five early-season disappointments. Call this […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Week 5 brought some intriguing NFL matchups. The Vikings offense showed some signs of life, and the Texans made waves against the Titans.

Josh Allen remains spectacular, […]

At this point in the NFL regular season, fantasy football managers should have a pretty good idea of their rosters' strengths and weaknesses.
