Spike weeks for low-owned players can be a blessing and a curse. For fantasy managers who were fortunate enough to just roster, let alone start, Jauan Jennings or Cole Kmet in Week 3, they are resting easy with the added trade value their assets have accrued in such a short time. For the rest of us on the outside looking in, trying to weigh our available FAAB against the sustainability of huge spike weeks is considerably more anxiety inducing.

But don’t worry, that’s what RotoViz and our suite of 30-plus industry-leading tools are here for.

As we look at the best available players in the majority of ESPN and Yahoo leagues, many of the same names continue to show up from the previous two installments of this article. Fortunately for us, this does not mean that all of the available players lack league-winning upside. But if we don’t act this week, they might be gone for the rest of the season.

Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:

  • To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in 50% or less of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • To be mentioned as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in 50% or more of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • FAAB recommendations will be given, but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
  • All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool

Week 3 Monday Review: A Timeless Scientific and Philosophical Debate Lies at the Center of Sunday’s Biggest Fantasy Performances

Nature versus nurture. At the end of the day, the answer generally comes down to a combination both. If NFL performances were based solely on raw athletic ability, Anthony Richardson would be the league’s best quarterback. If NFL success were the result of learning offensive strategy and proper fundamentals, the entertainment value of watching the “athletes” involved wouldn’t be strong enough to survive on public…...

3 Weeks Into the Season, Is Garrett Wilson a Fantasy Landmine or a Buy-Low Hero?

After two years of toiling away with Zach Wilson as his primary quarterback, 2024 was the year that Garrett Wilson was going to be fully unleashed. With Aaron Rodgers now healthy, the third-year WR and the veteran signal caller were supposed to be the second coming of the Rodgers-Davante Adams duo from the QB’s days in Green Bay. Things seemed to be going as planned,

Chase Brown Has Started the Season Playing Behind Zack Moss, But is There a Shift on the Horizon?

This offseason started as a case of two steps forward, one step back for Chase Brown. Early in the offseason, there were rumblings that the Bengals would be looking to part ways with their incumbent workhorse Joe Mixon for salary-cap purposes. On March 12th, the Bengals traded Mixon to the Texans for a seventh-round pick in lieu of cutting the veteran. It wasn’t ideal for
