Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into NFL Week 7

Another week, another round of devastating and serious long-term injuries to some of the game's top fantasy names. That means that depth during hellish bye weeks will continue to be an issue, and you might find yourself yet again hanging on longer than expected to some of the more frustrating players out of pure necessity. This week, […]

Fantasy Football Buy-Low and Sell-High Candidates For Week 7

The waiver wire can only help your fantasy football team so much when your superstars fall by the waste side. Aaron Rodgers’ broken collarbone, Odell Beckham’s fractured ankle and Dalvin Cook’s torn ACL have given fantasy owners several reasons to reach for the antacids this year. So while the hits keep coming to fantasy rosters, […]

Disaster Recovery Week 6 - Studs Turned Duds

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about benching, and deciding if you should be panicking at all […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 7

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 7

It’s becoming far too common to see potentially season ending injuries occur on a weekly basis to one of the game’s elite players. Week 6 saw one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Aaron Rodgers go down with a broken collarbone which will risk the remainder of his season. The Packers as a team […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Even in today’s NFL, quarterbacks get hit to the ground rather often -- and usually, they bounce right back up. Aaron Rodgers did not bounce right back up, and could now miss the rest of the 2017 season with a broken collarbone. The bright side of losing a QB is that streaming that position tends […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 7 everyone. With two more teams on bye (Lions, Texans) as we approach the midway point of the 2017 season, there are still players that can make a difference for your fantasy squads down the stretch as you attempt to make a playoff run. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

If you're back here looking for more options off the waiver wire at RB, chances are you didn't bother to pickup Adrian Peterson last week. While I certainly can't claim knowing he would look that good in Arizona, he was the top mention in last week's article and was by far more valuable as a […]

Thursday Night Matchup Analysis (Week 7)

Carson Wentz keeps looking better and better, doesn't he? The sophomore quarterback showed up big time in a 28-23 victory over the Carolina Panthers to the tune of three passing touchdowns, adding to the thrill of a high-scoring Thursday Night Football game. Cam Newton, on the other hand, struggled mightily in the passing game with […]

Week 7 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic On The Pack

This list is ordinarily exclusively about the players who are popular drop considerations from week-to-week who nevertheless have enough value to hold if you have the roster flexibility. I’m going to break format ever so slightly this week to discuss a group of players who I want to caution against selling low, and that group […]

Plainly and simply, this will be your weekly list of those end-of-roster guys that you can safely let go of, with the occasional unfortunate star player that finds his way here due to injury.

Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 7

This is our priority list for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks to add. Darren McFadden (48%) and Alfred Morris (54%) are sitting atop the list, just in case they are still available in your leagues. Go get 'em asap. We always receive a lot of questions of which players to add off the waiver […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 7)

Last week I mentioned Brian Hoyer as a good streaming option, which quickly looked like a bad call when Hoyer was benched for C.J. Beathard. But hey--the 49ers offense looks surprisingly not terrible, so maybe I just had the wrong quarterback penciled in! But seriously, I don't know what to think about San Francisco--every week […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 7

Although it doesn't quite factor into a column about PPR sleepers, we should take a moment to acknowledge the injury to Aaron Rodgers. A broken collarbone is likely to end his season. For the record, that's way more disappointing for real life NFL football than it is for fantasy. Seeing a superstar go down with […]

Looking at Defensive Opportunities Heading to Week 6

With nearly a third of the fantasy season behind us, we should take a look around to see who is excelling, and who has failed to live up to expectations. Fantasy football is a game built on opportunity, and those who see the patterns being laid down are more likely to end up on top.  […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll start by repeating something profound I said in my podcast yesterday: Deshaun Watson is good. I'd put him at the top of this column once again, but it's too obvious in a matchup with Cleveland and you should be starting him anyway. Now that we got that out of the way, I'll continue by […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 6

The under-the-radar booms and busts do not let up just because there are fewer players to choose from! With bye weeks and a mass of injuries ravaging rosters for fantasy football teams across the country, many lineup decisions are automatically made for fantasy owners because some of their players are not suiting up this weekend. […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 6 Lineups

The idea of consistency has become a huge part of fantasy football, and rightfully so. You want players who are going to perform on a weekly basis and will not kill your team with constant duds. In today’s game, consistency has become a measurement of a player’s weekly finish at his position relative to other […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 6

It's Week 6. The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated, the Patriots have looked average at many points, and the Houston Texans are suddenly an offensive oriented team. The NFL, y'all, where things change so fast. Case in point: Amari Cooper would have been cut already if his name wasn't Amari Cooper in all your fantasy […]

Week 6 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

Today is Friday the 13th, but the New York Giants have been living a horror movie since early September. In addition to falling to 0-5, New York lost wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall to season-ending injuries this past weekend. It's safe to say the Giants would take a mulligan on this season if […]

Fantasy Football Hacks - Sneaky Loopholes to Give You an Advantage

Where there are rules, there are loopholes. There are ways to implement sneaky strategies that could either be viewed as genius or sketchy.  The two questions are: 1) How far are you willing to go to get an advantage in your league?  2) How long can you keep it going until others pick up on […]

Week 6 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

There was plenty of parity last week, but I have a feeling we're going to see some blowouts on Sunday. It feels a little funny putting a Jets tight end, a Texans quarterback, and a Broncos running back in my top five, but fantasy football is a funny game after all. As an expert ranker […]
