The NFL schedule makers did not do fantasy managers any favors this year by backloading the schedule with bye weeks. With the talent on the waiver wire already scarce, Week 12 and Week 14 feature six teams apiece on bye after the previous high for any week all season was four teams. We are granted a reprieve in Week 13 with no teams on bye,…...

Some things just feel destined to happen. It’s always felt like Brock Bowers was going to do amazing things in his rookie year despite the lack of talent around him. We knew we would be seeing Anthony Richardson starting for the Colts again, but perhaps not as soon as it actually came to fruition. And it seems like a near certainty that every year Taysom…...

In the first game of Week 10, fans were treated to watching the Ravens and Bengals go toe-to-toe in prime time. After their first matchup of the season was in the running for game of the year, the rematch raised the bar even further. At the center of the storyline was Ja’Marr Chase absolutely torching the Ravens’ defense on his way to the ninth-highest PPR…...

Even if the short-term outlooks of the options available to us on waivers continue to get less appealing, we still need to shoot for upside with our additions over the remainder of the season. Any fantasy manager who has been paying attention this season could have added players like Cedric Tillman, Josh Downs, and Tyrone Tracy for pennies on the dollar. Audric Estime may prove to…...

Plenty of NFL heavyweights were pushed to the limit in some of Week 10’s most exciting games. Perhaps none of the victors deserved to come out with a win for various reasons, but the experience each team has across their organization may have been the deciding factor for them coming out on top. For all of the composure each team showed, there were still plenty…...

Primacy effect is the tendency for us to recall the first events of a series rather than those that come later. This is why sports teams and players getting off to fast starts can linger in our minds as still being current long after the initial hot streak has since faded. The same can also be true for slow starts. If a team or player…...

We are getting down to the nitty-gritty on the waiver wire, as there are few viable plug-and-play options available in the majority of leagues. One name that does not seem to get enough love is Hunter Henry, as he has been a staple of this article nearly every week of the season despite being a consistent top-10 option all year. For teams looking to solidify…...

When it comes down to it, being a football fan is all about cheering for the players and teams we love. For most people, those allegiances come from where they grow up, or core memories from their childhood while watching football with friends and family. For others like myself, our favorite players are largely determined through fantasy football. The ability to create my own teams…...

In Week 8, the tight ends got most of the attention from broadcasters and media on National Tight Ends Day, but the wide receiver position is never one to ignore. We saw Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua look good in their first game back from injury, while Tua Tagovailoa’s return lifted the value of the entire Miami offense, providing hope that Tyreek Hill and Jaylen…...

Things are starting to get thin, but that does not mean the waiver wire is absent of talent. There are still multiple running backs and wide receivers available in the majority of leagues that could finish inside the top-12 at each position over the rest of the season. The biggest caveat is that we will likely have to pay up in order to make sure…...

After Week 7 underwhelmed overall, Week 8 has more than made up for it. The top-two picks in this year’s NFL draft provided us with what will likely be the most memorable ending to a game fans get all season, as the legend (and MVP resume) of Jayden Daniels continues to grow. Tua Tagovailoa’s return provided the spark that Miami needed to get its offense…...

Wide receivers have been considered the prima-donna position of the NFL for quite some time. One of the biggest shifts seemed to come in the early 2000s, when players like Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson forced themselves into the spotlight in good times and bad. When they were on, their play spoke for them. When things weren’t going their way, they made sure that the…...
