Week 2 of the fantasy season reminded us that football can be brutal. Major injuries took out several quarterbacks (Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jaxson Dart), running backs (Jadarian Price and Saquon Barkley), wide receivers (Malik Nabers, Mike Evans, and Alec Pierce), and tight ends (Dallas Goedert, David Njoku, and Eli Raridon). Those injuries could […]

And just like that, 12% of the fantasy football season is in the books (14% if you count our "regular season" through Week 14). Many of you just experienced low-scoring whiplash after an electric Week 1, so now you're going to act rationally, yes? We join you to take a deep breath and get those […]

We've all felt the urge to rage-drop a particular player. Our emotions can sometimes get the best of all of us. However, when we're making waiver wire moves, they should be calculated and purposeful. Unfortunately, every new addition comes with a cost. Especially early in the season, we want to be confident in who we're […]

You are going to see a lot of ACC offenses and defenses that are worth streaming this week. The ACC is the only conference slumming with FCS schools this week besides Rutgers. We're not using Rutgers anyway. They lost to UMass. Who's to say that they wouldn't lose to Howard? Nebraska and Missouri were solid […]

Hey RotoBallers, if you are starting the season (0-2) or on the way there, it's no time to panic or give up. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more waiver wire advice to help your fantasy teams and strengthen your rosters with our fantasy football waiver wire rankings before Week 3 of 2026. We prioritized […]

We have reached the end of an exciting Week 2 with a lot of data and information to sort through. We saw rookies ball out across the league, and a couple of dominoes set up future fantasy roads down the line this season. Whether you’re riding high at 2-0 or feeling like waiving the white […]

The first two weeks of regular-season matchups are complete as you enter the planning process surrounding roster construction and lineup decisions for Week 3 and beyond. You have now witnessed multiple performances by the players you drafted that have fueled a variety of emotions ranging from euphoria to disappointment. You may also be contending with […]

Welcome back, fellow fantasy footballers, to the weekly cut list. Week 3 was action-packed and revealed plenty of players we can finally cut cords with.  Last week, John Mateer captained the cut list team. He finished Week 3 outside the top 25 quarterbacks with 17.22 fantasy points; that's a hit. Nyck Harbor and Dylan Wade […]

Week 2 was a relatively sloppy, low-scoring slate compared to the high expectations set by a bombastic opening week. As tempting as it is to take two games' worth of data as gospel (we do have a "pattern" with a pair), remember that matchups, weather, injuries, and random chance can still wreak havoc with a […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks. Unfortunately, Week 2 has been the opposite. It's been filled with awful weather, low-scoring contests, and more injuries than fantasy managers would like to count. The injuries will likely create a busy waiver week as teams scramble to find replacements. There may not be any league winners on the […]

Hey RotoBallers, we cap off our early rankings series for Week 3 with the FLEX position. Deciding who to start at the FLEX position can be the most difficult decision to make when setting your fantasy football lineup. At RotoBaller HQ, we break down the FLEX spot with our early 2026 Week 3 Half-PPR fantasy […]

Week 3 has arrived and kicks off on Thursday with the Atlanta Falcons versus the Green Bay Packers. This past week, we saw some big performances from Jahmyr Gibbs, Kenneth Walker III, and James Cook. There are injuries to monitor at the running back position, with Seahawks running back Jadarian Price dealing with a shoulder […]

The fantasy football season is off to a fast start as Week 3 has already arrived. Whether your fantasy team is undefeated or has yet to win a game, we've got you prepared for Week 3 with our early Week 3 overall rankings. Utilize these rankings to get a head start in Week 3. As […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum rushed for 79 yards on 12 carries during Monday's Week 2 win over the New York Giants. He also converted his lone target into a 13-yard reception. For the second week in a row, Corum was nearly as involved as teammate Kyren Williams. Both players rushed 12 times […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed for 85 yards on 12 carries during Monday's blowout win over the New York Giants in Week 2. He also caught two passes for 12 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. Williams averaged just 3.7 yards per carry in last week's season opener, so it was quite […]

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas (groin) exited during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams and was diagnosed with a groin injury, according to Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports. The Giants technically listed him as questionable near the end of the game, but the Giants' offense didn't see the […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne has jumped to No. 2 on the depth chart, and while he had a very quiet Week 2 performance, he could still be a decent waiver wire target for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. In particular, he's an appealing handcuff option for fantasy managers who already have Aaron Jones […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo had 12 carries for 36 yards and added four receptions for 19 yards in the 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With the Giants struggling on offense and trailing for most of the game, Skattebo couldn't contribute at the same level as in Week 1. The second-year […]

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (neck) is considered day-to-day after suffering an injury during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, per David Furones. Wright was forced to exit Sunday's contest after sustaining a neck injury. It remains to be seen if Wright will be healthy enough to play against the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on his team's Monday injury report, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Atlanta held a walkthrough rather than a full practice on Monday, so Robinson's status ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football […]

New York Giants running back Najee Harris, who was a healthy scratch for the season-opening victory over the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday night, is officially active on Monday night to conclude Week 2 against the hosting Los Angeles Rams, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. The Giants said that Harris would have a role in their […]

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (groin) is now considered week-to-week while he gets second opinions on his groin injury, a source told Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Brooks first injured his groin in training camp and then tweaked it again in the Week 2 win over the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The 23-year-old […]

Unfortunately, fantasy managers who need help at the running back position at any point in the season are typically out of luck. Every starting running back gets drafted in the draft at the beginning of the season, and often, a large number of backups do as well. It's very rare for an NFL team to […]

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the team will be "talking about options at running back" coming out of Week 2, per ESPN's Kevin Seifert. With Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) on Injured Reserve, veteran back Aaron Jones Sr. recorded 23 carries for 105 yards in the team's Week 2 win over […]

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that running back Aaron Jones Sr. was "pretty sore" after the team's Week 2 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears on Sunday. Backup Jordan Mason (thumb) is on Injured Reserve for another three weeks, and rookie sixth-rounder Demond Claiborne "is not ready to carry the load," according to […]

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that rookie running back Emmett Johnson will continue to be more involved in the team's offense as the season progresses, per Soren Petro of Sports Radio 810 WHB. Johnson has been extremely efficient on a limited workload through the first two games of his NFL career, recording […]

Two games into the 2026 NFL season, Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson has recorded 20 carries for 82 yards and two receptions for 16 yards on two targets. Robinson Jr. logged 13 touches in Atlanta's blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Still, the 27-year-old is unlikely to see fantasy-relevant usage on a […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell got a little more work Sunday, but not enough to change the bigger picture in the backfield. Mitchell carried five times for 24 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in the loss to Las Vegas after seeing four carries in Week 1. Omarion Hampton, meanwhile, […]

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (groin) is undergoing further testing Monday, according to Nick Carboni. Brooks aggravated the same groin injury that sidelined him late in training camp during Sunday's 34-3 win over Atlanta. Head coach Dave Canales called him day-to-day after the game and said the team would have more information as the […]

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen did not do much with his five carries Sunday, gaining seven yards, but he did punch in a five-yard touchdown and added an eight-yard catch. The workload was lighter than Week 1, when Allen carried 10 times for 40 yards, but he has still been involved enough through […]
