Hey RotoBallers! The opening game of the Week 3 slate is already behind us, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't still turn to the waiver wire to find any potential sleeper pickups. However, when adding a player, we have to say goodbye to a current member of our fantasy roster. In this piece, we spotlight […]

Week 3 is the first week that actually feels like a season. Two games of usage, snap counts, and defensive tape are now on the board, and the remaining schedule is full of mismatches that will either inflate or crush a player’s ceiling.

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Waiver Stashes
Week 2 was a bloodbath. If you came out unscathed, consider yourself lucky. Many other fantasy managers did not have that fortune. A whole lot of fantasy managers out there are in need of replacement options. There are also disappointing players who need to hit the bench. We are still early in the season, but […]
Surgery Not an Option for Jayden Daniels, Quick Return Possible?
Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters said that "surgery is not on the table" for injured quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) and that the team has "not discussed" placing Daniels on Injured Reserve, per JP Finlay of NBC4 Sports.

Week 3 DraftKings Lineup Picks

Saturday Late DraftKings CFB Picks: 9/26/26
This is a smaller late-night slate than last week, but we have more star power on this slate. Georgia Tech's new-look offense heads to Palo Alto to pad some stats, but that's just the beginning. We have a Mountain West showdown in Reno with Air Force in town. The marquee matchup features some sailgating in […]
Saturday Night DraftKings CFB Picks: 9/26/26
The nighttime is the right time at DraftKings! DraftKings' night slates feature marquee prime-time matchups in a standalone slate, rather than FanDuel adding all the biggest games to one monster slate. Last week's prime time slate was very entertaining. We should see more of the same this week. USC and Oregon have a nice little […]
Sneaky Bench Stashes: Pre-Week 3
Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the third edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series.

Saturday Main DraftKings CFB Picks: 9/26/26
We have another 12 games for the main slate this week. Unlike last week, most of the QBs are more affordable. However, they need to be, since RB is loaded with great options in great matchups. Most teams are beginning conference play this week, but not every team in every conference is good. These gargantuan […]

Well-Known Players: Drop, Hold, or Sell Low?
Sometimes, it's best to bite the bullet and cut bait with underperforming players in fantasy football.

The worst […]
