Last week, we highlighted David Montgomery as a potential buy low based on the advanced metrics. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury on Sunday. After 23 carries for 106 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, Montgomery ranked fifth with 22.6 fantasy points heading into Monday night. Early reports indicate Montgomery avoided a torn ACL, but he’ll still receive further testing. The buy-low window is probably…...

Shawn Siegele examines the encouraging numbers for Ezekiel Elliott, the frightening trend for Alvin Kamara, and the next wave of Zero RB stars-in-the-making. This was a big week for the preseason Zero RB Candidates List, as options like James Conner, Kenneth Gainwell, and Alex Collins all found the end zone. Conner still looks like a shadow of his 2018 self, but Gainwell and Collins are…...

The fireworks in Week 4 almost made up for the devastating injuries in Week 3. The Chiefs remembered Tyreek Hill was on their team, D.J. Moore made not one but two trips to the end zone, and Saquon Barkley looked like the player we were excited to draft second overall in 2020. Several other developments that might be just as important perhaps went unnoticed, however…....

All I can say is that Week 4 was a wonderful week for tight ends. Just incredible. Even without Rob Gronkowski playing, and George Kittle continuing to do nothing, TEs were all over the scoresheet last week. Thirteen TEs scored at least 10.0 PPR points in Week 4. Fourteen found the end zone, with three players liking it so much they did it twice. One…...

Shawn Siegele breaks down the biggest stories from Week 4, including epic performances from Tyreek Hill, D.J. Moore, Terry McLaurin, and Deebo Samuel. The week of the Multi-TD Wide Receiver was my favorite in years, and not surprisingly it was a good one for our preferred RotoViz approach. A few of the highlights: Tyreek Hill went off for 11-186-3, giving him his second game with…...

Usage is key for making waiver wire adds, start/sit decisions, and finding the next blow-up WR in DFS. Week 3 is in the books and another unpredictable week with injuries ensued.

Blair Andrews asks whether the Carolina Panthers’ offense will skip a beat without Christian McCaffrey, examines Trey Sermon’s bid to be Kyle Shanahan’s lead back, and explores the Detroit Lions’ deployment of their running back duo. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB…...

Shawn Siegele praises Kareem Hunt’s ferocious runs, boggles at Najee Harris’ epic reception total, and examines Zack Moss’ bid to take over the Bills backfield . . . plus, you know, actually score some points. Many times in Week 3 it felt like we’d lived an entire season within the span of 72 hours. Christian McCaffrey was so good that it made fantasy unfair, then…...

We have reached what we used to be able to say was the quarter pole of the season. So once again, massive thanks for the 17th game, NFL. Still, Week 4 lies ahead of us. The tight-end landscape is developing into the high level of reliability we have come to expect. So let’s look back at the movers and shakers from last week. Then, I…...
