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…...

So you’re 1-6? Who cares. 2-5? Big deal. 0-7? Ok, maybe we have our limits. Fantasy’s regular season is only half way over, and no matter how poorly our teams played to start the season, there is still plenty of time to turn it all around. The caveat is that we need to stay diligent over the next seven weeks, and a good place to…...

Through Sunday’s Week 7 games, 11 of the 26 teams failed to score more than 16 points, with five of those teams unable to surpass 10 points. Just as it looked like we were rounding the corner, the NFL gave us arguably the worst week of the season. And it wasn’t just teams that disappointed, as many of our favorite players like C.J. Stroud, Tyrone…...

Following the conclusion of Week 6, the action kept on rolling with the trades of Davante Adams and Amari Cooper on Tuesday. Both wide receivers have been staples in fantasy for the better part of the last decade, and it will be interesting to see how they acclimate to their new surroundings. Adams joins many of his old teammates from Green Bay in New York,…...

Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season was the poster child for Zero-RB builds, as a ton of backup RBs were not only were given a chance to see the field, but also capitalized on their opportunities in some huge ways. Some of the names we expected, while others came out of nowhere to put up big-time fantasy performances. Team contexts will surely dictate how…...

In his Wrong Read series, Blair Andrews labeled Week 6 “Rookie QB Week,” and with good reason. With five rookie signal callers set to start for their teams, including two making their first starts, both fantasy and reality fans would be heavily critiquing each player’s performance. When the dust settled, it was clear which QBs are on their way to stardom, and which are still works in…...

I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious. — Michael Scott We have all heard of the “Madden Curse,” but the “WR Advanced Stats Curse” may be just as real for those who subscribe to such theories. The only player featured as the cover boy for the article this year who has not been injured the following week has been Jameson Williams. (If Brandon…...

As the weeks progress, the number of players that fantasy managers feel comfortable slotting in their starting lineups starts to dwindle. Heading into Week 6, some solid options remain at nearly every position, but it is likely we will have to pay up for them. Week 6 Bye Weeks: Kansas City Chiefs Minnesota Vikings Los Angeles Rams Miami Dolphins Before we dive into the players,…...

The Week 5 slate of the 2024 NFL season did not disappoint. We had plenty of games that went down to the wire, along with some big performances that could renew hope for some of our preseason fantasy favorites. As the weeks roll on, we are also starting to get some clarity at 2024’s most discouraging position — tight end. With some familiar names continuing…...
