FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Fantasy Football Pickups to Target for Week 2

Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Welcome back to the Wild FAAB West following a subpar Week 1 where we absorbed some major injuries without many widely available options emerging. While it isn't as glorious as last year's post-Week 1 run, there are still options! As always, joining our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly fantasy football waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

As a caveat, these prices do not indicate how much these free-agent players will go for, especially early. Each league values players differently so you must add the proper context -- context is king. These values provide a baseline or priority order to understand roughly how much you should be looking to spend on a particular player, and once the season starts we will add different categories of bids to reflect team-need situations.

Projected league aggression, total bench spots, and the overall depth of your league will determine your FAAB bids. With fewer big performances to chase, you could see the highlight names be overpriced with the best adds of the week coming via impatient drops within your league. With that in mind, here are my median FAAB bid ranges and adds going into Week 2.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

FAAB Waiver Wire Pickups - Quarterbacks

Baker Mayfield (QB, TB) - 34% rostered

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 3-4%

Mayfield lit up the Commanders on 24-of-30 passing for 289 yards and four touchdowns, adding another 21 rushing yards on three scampers. It was a great game in a great spot, but you’re wondering if he’s ready to vault into weekly top-12 QB1 territory.

Optimists will point to Jalen McMillan emerging as an NFL-ready threat alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, who looked amazing as usual. Rachaad White remained a poor rusher but a strong receiver, which further tilts the pass/rush output. Cade Otton is still Cade Otton but you can’t have it all.

While it was great to see Tampa willing and able to push it and hang 37 points in their home opener, they now head to Detroit to face a much tougher Lions defense (though Matthew Stafford did top 300 yards). Before their Week 11 bye, the Bucs will face Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Kansas City (at KC), and San Francisco. There are precious few pushovers along the way.

He’s the top priority add at QB, especially for those who lost Jordan Love, but it’s unlikely he’ll turn into Tom Brady here. Fantasy teams looking to escape the streaming currents with Mayfield as a weekly lock will likely be underwhelmed. Antoine Winfield Jr. is set to miss a few weeks so their subpar, dinged secondary could lead to more shootout scripts.

Justin Fields (QB, PIT) - 14% rostered

FAAB Bid: 0-1%
Aggressive Bid: 1-3%

Fields drew the Week 1 start with Russell Wilson (calf) out and while he wasn’t electrifying, he emerged victorious and that could be enough for Week 2 opportunities and beyond. I hope he buys T.J. Watt a really nice dinner as a thank you!

He only threw 23 passes all game, connecting on 17 of them for 156 yards with zero touchdowns or interceptions. Half of his fantasy value came from 57 rushing yards on 14 totes. Half of his passing yards came on two deep strikes to George Pickens, who Arthur Smith deployed on just two-thirds of offensive snaps (grumble).

Just because Fields didn’t rip off a big rush doesn’t mean you should undersell his 14 rush attempts. Especially with a softer Denver front coming up in Week 2. We’ll see how they proceed if Russell Wilson is healthy and able to practice.

Jameis Winston (QB, CLE) - 0% rostered

FAAB Bid: 0%
Aggressive Bid: 1%

Deshaun Watson looked horrible in Week 1, whether you look at pure performance or read into social media clips like his linemen refusing to take his hand to be helped up or Amari Cooper looking fed up in the huddle during third and long.

We stick to the former around these parts. Winston is a known gunslinger and fantasy darling who could step onto a similar path that produced key Joe Flacco fantasy starts down the stretch last year. David Njoku being week-to-week with an ankle sprain doesn’t help. Facing Dallas is tough for anyone so let’s see what Week 2 at Jacksonville holds.

Malik Willis (QB, GB) - 0% rostered

FAAB Bid: 0%
Aggressive Bid: 0.1% 

I know, I know. But Willis is poised to start for Green Bay in the short term with Jordan Love out with an MCL sprain. He looked overwhelmed, even when tasked with simply throwing a Hail Mary.

But a week of prep on a better field with so much talent around him could sneak in stream-worthy starts (2QB) in Weeks 2-4 with Indianapolis, Tennessee, and Minnesota on tap. In three starts back in 2022, Willis averaged seven rush attempts for about five yards a pop.

Pour one out for those relying on Green Bay’s playmakers until Love is back. Let’s see who they bring in to provide depth and if they provide a glimmer of hope beyond Willis. This writer thinks only Reed remains startable in 12-team leagues.

*Others you could risk for streaming with 0-1% bids: Sam Darnold vs. SF and Derek Carr at DAL. They had promising Week 1 performances but run into buzzsaws for Week 2. Consider stashing Drake Maye and Michael Penix Jr. in deep waters.

 

FAAB Waiver Wire Pickups - Running Backs

Jordan Mason (RB, SF) - 58% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 25-40%
Aggressive Bid: 40-55%
Desperation Bid: 55-65%

Yes, I'm bending the rostered rate rules. Christian McCaffrey’s calf/Achilles issue prevented him from suiting up in Week 1 and Adam Schefter reports he could miss Week 2 as well. (It’s a short week for them due to playing on Monday Night Football in Week 1.) When one door closes another opens, and Mason flew right through it with 28-146-1 rushing line and a five-yard catch on top.

You’d never guess he was facing a vaunted Jets front seven with how he ran on MNF. The SF offensive line opened up several holes but Mason showed a familiar burst and vision seen in limited opportunities over the last two years. The 49ers should control the game against Minnesota in Week 2 and allow for another big day.

And then who is to say CMC won’t be limited upon his return? What’s the motivation for them to push him early on? This is a team with clear playoff aspirations and a supremely capable backup. At worst, you’re scooping a valuable handcuff with likely standalone value in Week 2. This MNF performance is enough of an audition.

Jaleel McLaughlin (RB, DEN) - 38% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 8-12%
Aggressive Bid: 12-16%
Desperation Bid: 16-25%

Color this writer shocked that McLaughlin wound up outworking Javonte Williams on early carries while Williams ran more routes, per PFF (Nathan Jahnke is royalty). Williams only had eight carries and two targets while McLaughlin garnered nine rushes and six targets.

We’ll see if that thunder-lightning split holds up throughout the season, but both are viable in PPR formats with Denver set to be trailing often. You have to decide if you want to aim at a bigger role on a lesser offense here or take shots at others.

Alexander Mattison (RB, LV) - 5% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 8-10%
Aggressive Bid: 10-14%
Desperation Bid: 14-20%

Mattison outworked Zamir White in a game where the Raiders were trailing early and switched to their passing packages. While White had 13 carries to Mattison’s five, it was Mattison who ran 14 more routes (24 to 10) and had six targets to White’s two.

Antonio Pierce said after the game that the Raiders would roll with the “hot hand” at RB, also shouting out Mattison’s pass protection. That’s going to come in handy.

But if this team often finds itself playing from behind then Mattison could be the neutral lean regardless of heat. The Raiders play the Ravens next week so it was going to be an uphill battle for White to punch one in anyway.

Jaylen Wright (RB, MIA) - 21% rostered (long-term play)
Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, MIA) - 0% rostered (immediate help)

FAAB Bid: 2-4%
Aggressive Bid: 4-7%
Desperation Bid: 7-10%

Wright was inactive in Week 1 but you’re still holding if you believed at all going into the season. This is where we point out that De'Von Achane was inactive in Week 1 last season and Raheem Mostert only mustered 19 total yards on eight touches (six carries, two receptions).

And now both Achane and Mostert were listed as “Did Not Practice” on Miami’s Monday practice report (since they play on Thursday, though it was an estimated report without a practice being held). Update: They were both DNP's on Tuesday as well so I'm lifting this section up.

You can scoop Jeff Wilson Jr. on the cheap as well, but Wright is the league-winning upside play. If you need help in Week 2 then JWJ is the move. Frankly, Miami’s offensive line looked terrible so they better scheme their speed going wide.

Bucky Irving (RB, TB) - 21% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 6-8%
Aggressive Bid: 8-12%
Desperation Bid: 12-15%

Irving ran well in his NFL debut, ending with 62 yards on nine carries. The rookie entered at the end of the first quarter and worked at the beginning of the second quarter too. Irving had a nine-yard gain to start their first second-half drive but his best runs came with a two-score lead and 11 minutes left in the fourth.

Irving had back-to-back carries of eight and 31 yards before Rachaad White re-entered the game and lost three and five yards on consecutive plays. Irving tagged back in with an 11-yard rush before losing four on his final carry. The point is that while plenty of work came later, he did mix in throughout the game (and was the superior runner).

But White caught all six targets for 75 yards to buoy his day despite 31 ground yards on 15 carries. And while Irving’s decisiveness helped him hit the hole, he didn’t force any missed tackles along the way. It was a strong day but White had 29 yards after contact of his 31 yards. Irving had 14 YCO of his 62.

If there is going to be a change here, it'll be White turning into the versatile passing-down back while Irving takes the between-the-tackles gritty work. I'm not expecting it anytime soon and I'm not doubting that White could've also popped off with some of the holes Irving saw, but eventually, we need results.

Ty Chandler (RB, MIN) - 33% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 5-7%
Aggressive Bid: 7-10%
Desperation Bid: 10-15%

Aaron Jones looked great, with 14 carries and two targets on 12 routes run, playing 30 snaps according to PFF charting. Chandler checked in with eight carries and three targets on nine routes (20 snaps), so that’s a true 1B committee back! This boils down to the upside and Jones simply looked better and Chandler's immediate outlook isn't great.

Unfortunately, Chandler and the Vikes take on San Francisco this week so if you want to pass on the limited upside here without a high likelihood of popping in Week 2 then move along. We understand the churn-and-burn nature of roster flipping in the early waiver streets.

Tank Bigsby (RB, JAC) - 5% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 2-4%
Aggressive Bid: 4-6%
Desperation Bid: 6-8%

Bigsby backed up the preseason buzz with 73 yards on 12 carries, two of which went for 17 and 26. He only played about half of the snaps compared to Travis Etienne Jr. but they each had 12 rushes, with ETN only getting 44 yards and a touchdown on his totes. He also lost a brutal fumble into the endzone that Miami recovered. Don’t go thinking that Bigsby simply entered the game after said fumble either.

He was involved early and was a clear piece of the plan. Bigsby has the size and apparent trust to carry the load should something happen to Etienne, making him a good handcuff with a contingent upside.

Samaje Perine (RB, KC) - 6% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 1-2% (PPR)
Aggressive Bid: 3-5%
Desperation Bid: 5-6%

You’re sneaking in Perine for PPR formats before he gets fully immersed in Kansas City. He saw two targets on just eight snaps, with a tough “drop” glancing off of his outstretched fingertips that would’ve led to a big gain and possible touchdown. Buying the Jerick McKinnon role alongside Patrick Mahomes is worth a few PPR bucks.

 

FAAB Waiver Wire Pickups - Wide Receivers

Brandin Cooks (WR, DAL) - 32% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 10-15%
Aggressive Bid: 15-20%
Desperation Bid: 20-25%

Cooks no longer dazzles but he picked up where he left off with four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown (seven targets) after scoring eight TDs in 2023. He even added a five-yard rush in there.

And this was in a convincing win where Dallas wasn’t pressed into throwing! Toss in Jake Ferguson being limited or potentially out for their next couple of games while no other receiver behind Cooks popped and you have another solid setup for Cooks to produce in ‘24.

Demarcus Robinson (WR, LAR) - 6% rostered
Tyler Johnson (WR, LAR) - 0% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 6-10% DRob / 5-7% TyJo
Aggressive Bid: 10-14% / 7-9%
Desperation Bid: 14-20% / 9-12%

Puka Nacua went down with what is being called a right PCL sprain, which landed him on the IR. This left a vacuum to be filled at WR, with Johnson being the new face to step up. While Johnson earned the highlight reel with a 63-yard scamper, Robinson should draw the more consistent snaps and work.

Both saw seven targets, with Robinson losing an end-zone target to defensive pass interference. I know you can read a box score and see Johnson’s 5-79-0 line is better than Robinson’s 4-42-0 set, but PFF had Robinson in on 72-of-78 total snaps with 47 routes run. Cooper Kupp ran 51, for perspective. Johnson ended with 33 routes run on 51 snaps, stepping in after Nacua left. Tutu Atwell still barely played, tallying six snaps (four routes, zero targets).

It’s worth noting that Jordan Whittington had a jet sweep TD called back due to a silly hold on the left tackle (who Aidan Hutchinson was abusing all game). He may need more time to learn the full playbook or simply earn the trust to execute it. Let's see what Week 2 brings.

Greg Dortch (WR, ARI) - 5% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 4-6% (PPR lean)
Aggressive Bid: 6-7%
Desperation Bid: 7-10%

Arizona’s offense looked suspect for much of Week 1, but Dortch was a clear hot read for Kyler Murray. The slot man saw eight targets, catching six of them for 47 yards. Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson had one catch apiece, with Dortch and Trey McBride being the go-to men.

Some of that may have been Buffalo missing Matt Milano in the middle of the field, but Murray didn’t even appear to be looking at the perimeter for stretches. This includes the famous screenshot of MHJ waving wide open, though Murray was pressured from that side of the field.

The offense should have an easier time in Week 2 at home against the Rams, but Dortch backed up the preseason talk as a reliable pair of hands for Murray. Dortch, Demario Douglas, and Wan'Dale Robinson are PPR merchants, except Dortch is on a good all-around offense. Andrei Iosivas also qualifies.

Josh Downs (WR, IND) - 26% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 3-4%
Aggressive Bid: 4-6%
Desperation Bid: 6-8%

Downs missed Week 1 with an ankle injury picked up in August but Indy did not place him on the injured reserve so he should return in Week 2 or 3. We just saw Anthony Richardson’s powerful arm provide plenty of fruit and early training camp reports noted chemistry between ARich and Downs.

Players like Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell, and even Ashton Dulin (sigh) could rotate as deep threats while Michael Pittman Jr. remains the No. 1 and Downs mans the slot. We tend to want early bench spots reserved for active players who can move the needle or give us more intel but we know Downs is a baller. (I'd rather stash Mitchell over Pierce if desperate.)

Jalen McMillan (WR, TB) - 5% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 3-4%
Aggressive Bid: 4-6%
Desperation Bid: 6-8%

McMillan, or “McMillions” to some, made his lone reception of Week 1 count through a 32-yard touchdown. He just missed on two other targets that may have led to TDs as well.

The rookie is a third WR behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin but no one expected otherwise, including trailing Rachaad White as a receiving option. McMillan led Tampa’s WRs in snaps and routes run, which is wildly encouraging for a rookie out of the chute.

And what happens when Tampa is playing in a close game or from behind? The ceiling is modest without an injury to Evans/Godwin, but this is a great start for McMillan.

Quentin Johnston (WR, LAC) - 7% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 0-1%
Aggressive Bid: 1-2%
Desperation Bid: 2-3%

Johnston made many fantasy football enemies in 2023 as a first-round bust and just turned five targets into three catches for 38 yards. He played the same number of snaps as Ladd McConkey (38) and ran 24 routes (McConkey had 22) as a true starter.

Johnston made some social media waves when the Fantasy Points Data Suite revealed a 42% first-read rate. If they’re willing to scheme QJ with DJ Chark Jr. on the IR and Brenden Rice a healthy scratch then we have to respect where they’re steering the ship.

Allen Lazard (WR, NYJ) - 2% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 0-1%
Aggressive Bid: 1-2%
Desperation Bid: 2-3%

Lazard will be a polarizing option in deep leagues given his 6-89-2 line in Week 1 after a horrible 2023 campaign. His first score came on a classic Aaron Rodgers play, inducing an offsides call for a free play that ended in a deep shot to Lazard. The second came in garbage time from Tyrod Taylor.

Depending on how quickly Mike Williams is brought along, Lazard could be a weapon for Gang Green thanks to his rapport with Rodgers. The Jets should be able to take it easy in Week 2 against the Titans but if Tyler Conklin isn’t going to be involved as a receiver then Lazard at WR2 has fringe fantasy value.

Other Dollar Bin Deep Adds:
Xavier Legette (CAR) - 16% rostered
Luke McCaffrey (WAS) - 7% rostered
Mack Hollins (BUF) - 0% rostered
Josh Reynolds (DEN) - 1% rostered
Jalen Nailor (MIN) - 0% rostered (potential if Jordan Addison misses Week 2)
Devaughn Vele (DEN) - 0% rostered

 

FAAB Waiver Wire Pickups - Tight Ends

Isaiah Likely (TE, BAL) - 28% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 15-20%
Aggressive Bid: 20-25%
Desperation Bid: 25-40%

Likely had the most impressive Week 1 as far as “waiver heroes” are concerned, catching 9-of-12 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Thursday’s opener. Those who watched know that he had two chances at a second touchdown as well.

With Baltimore down seven and time dwindling, Likely went up on a ball and got toppled onto his side/shoulder and stayed down for a bit. He was back in after one play and seemingly caught a TD as time expired, but his toe just caught the white boundary. Wear white cleats!

Now, Mark Andrews was getting doubled and bracketed all game long, with KC’s defense refusing to change as Likely diced them up. Andrews and Likely operated together and while the target shares should converge, the lack of convincing WR depth will keep both alive.

That said, most teams won’t press the Ravens into a shootout such as this so temper volume expectations. They do face Dallas and Buffalo in Weeks 3 and 4! We have to respect the performance and athleticism shown, especially relative to so few other standout stat lines.

And double especially injuries to Jake Ferguson and David Njoku. Triple especially with underwhelming games out of all top TEs. Be prepared for someone to pay through the nose. If it's you then I'll respect it, as few TEs have the athleticism to match Likely's afterburners.

Colby Parkinson (TE, LAR) - 6% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 2-4%
Aggressive Bid: 4-5%
Desperation Bid: 5-6%

Parkinson dominated the snaps for LAR, logging 69-of-78 offensive plays while Davis Allen and Hunter Long combined for the other nine. Parkinson saw five targets, hauling in four of them for 47 yards while running a route on 42-of-51 dropbacks. The Puka Nacua injury destabilizes more of the target share for guys like Parkinson to emerge.

Juwan Johnson (TE, NO) - 3% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 2-4%
Aggressive Bid: 4-5%
Desperation Bid: 5-6%

Do you believe in Klint Kubiak's 2024 Saints offense? Johnson was charted with either two or three targets depending on your source, with two catches for 26 yards and an impressive touchdown in the 47-10 blowout of Carolina.

But PFF had him playing just 23-of-66 snaps after the offseason foot surgery that limited him to one preseason game, ceding snaps (mainly run-blocking ones) to Foster Moreau, who caught all four targets for 43 yards and a TD before exiting late into the concussion protocol. Johnson should ramp up but Moreau could make it murky.

Jordan Akins (TE, CLE) - 0% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 2-3%
Desperation Bid: 3-4%

Akins stepped in after David Njoku’s ankle injury and caught three balls for 27 yards. Njoku has been deemed “week-to-week” for now, which means Akins, who caught 37 passes for 495 yards and five scores as recently as 2022, will receive starting reps.

Surely the Browns hope to control Week 2 against Jacksonville with the ground game and defense, but an avenue to starting has to be acknowledged.

Mike Gesicki (TE, CIN) - 4% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 2-3%
Desperation Bid: 3-4%

Gesicki was the receiving tight end, running a route on nearly all of his snaps and leading the TE room with four targets. But he only played on 18-of-51 snaps and this was with Cincinnati’s wide receiver group as limited as it’ll get in a negative gamescript.

Gesicki’s day would’ve looked different if they ruled his touchdown catch a reception but overall there isn’t much to see, especially if Erick All Jr. gets mixed in more as the season progresses.

Tucker Kraft (TE, GB) - 2% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 2-3%
Desperation Bid: 3-4%

We know you don’t want any Packers right now but we have to note that Kraft outproduced Luke Musgrave after popping up with a back injury on the Week 1 report. Once Love heals up then a potential Kraft breakout could commence, but this is for the back of your mind.

They aren’t putting Love on the IR so perhaps the “long-term add” aspect of this is closer than one imagines. But it is difficult to simultaneously be optimistic about injury timelines and be a fantasy football participant.

Greg Dulcich (TE, DEN) - 2% rostered 

FAAB Bid: 0%
Aggressive Bid: 1%
Desperation Bid: 2%

Bo Nix looked overwhelmed by the Seahawks' defense in Week 1 but Dulcich remained the obvious starting TE. PFF had him outsnapping Adam Trautman 46-to-24, running 36 routes to Trautman’s nine. But only two catches for 12 yards will keep attention low, especially with the Steelers, Buccaneers, and Jets coming in the next three weeks.

 

FAAB Waiver Wire Pickups - Defense/Special Teams

Los Angeles Chargers Defense (at CAR) - 11% rostered

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 2-3%
Desperation Bid: 3-5%

The Chargers swarmed Gardner Minshew II and the Raiders, forcing four sacks (despite Joe Alt holding down Maxx Crosby) and three turnovers alongside 10 points allowed. It’s a great initial performance from Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers, who now draw road matchups against Carolina and Pittsburgh before a Week 4 Chiefs date/Week 5 BYE combo. (They face the Broncos in Week 6 though!)

Seattle Seahawks Defense (at NE) - 43% rostered

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 2-3%
Desperation Bid: 3-5%

The Seahawks held Bo Nix and the Broncos to 16 points with two sacks and three takeaways (two interceptions, one fumble recovery) at home and now travel to Massachusetts to face the Patriots. The Pats infamously shattered many survivor pools by upsetting a watered-down Bengals team but we can’t overreact.

Indianapolis Colts Defense (at GB) - 8% rostered

FAAB Bid: 1-2%
Aggressive Bid: 2-3%
Desperation Bid: 3-4%

We’re simply targeting Malik Willis here. The Colts had a tough Week 1 against C.J. Stroud and allowed 29 points, yet still generated four sacks. Indy gets the Packers, Bears, and Steelers over their next three games so you could potentially autopilot into October with them if Caleb Williams doesn’t find his stride next week.

Washington Commanders Defense (vs. NYG) - 1% rostered

FAAB Bid: 0-1%
Aggressive Bid: 1-2%
Desperation Bid: 2-4%

Washington got torched by Baker Mayfield and the Bucs in Week 1, mustering one sack while allowing 37 points. But now they host Daniel Jones and the Giants in their home opener, with Dimes being an automatic streaming consideration. The Vikings held the Giants to six points with five sacks and two INTs, including a pick-six. Do you side with the stoppable force or the moveable object?

New York Giants Defense (at WAS) - 3% rostered

FAAB Bid: 0-1%
Aggressive Bid: 1-2%
Desperation Bid: 2-3%

The Giants allowed Sam Darnold to look good but still managed two turnovers and a sack despite Daniel Jones and the offense failing the field-position war. Unfortunately, that last point is unlikely to change.

But the G-Men will face Jayden Daniels and Deshaun Watson over their next two games. Daniels is spry but was clearly a rookie out there, and having a poor pass-catching unit showed.

Welcome to our Week 11 fantasy football waiver wire pickups article for the 2024 season. This might be one of the worst waiver weeks of the season, which is saying something because we've had so few waiver wire darlings this season. There have been virtually no running back injuries, but receivers have been hammered. It's […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Week 11 fantasy football defense streamers and D/ST rankings for the 2024 fantasy football season. Every week, I'll go through the best and worst fantasy defenses.

The Cut List - Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 11

Each new week of NFL games gives us more information to make better, more informed decisions. That’s crucial when figuring out who to add and who to cut. It can be difficult to admit we were wrong on a particular player. For example, using a high draft pick on someone and cutting them so early […]

Week 11 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2024 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As we head into Week 11, some essential kickers, including Chase McLaughlin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are on bye. McLaughlin currently sits fifth among fantasy kickers. If McLaughlin has been a staple in your lineup, you need a replacement this week. Eddy Pineiro (Carolina Panthers), Chad Ryland (Arizona Cardinals), and Graham Gano (New York […]

We're now in the second half of the 2024 NFL season, and Week 10 was a fantastic week of football. Week 9 didn't have many serious injuries but Week 10 was even better in that regard, as it had the fewest injuries in a week so far this season. Unfortunately, despite fewer injuries than usual, […]

What has been an unpredictable season continues. Once again, in Week 10, Bo Nix, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson, and yes, Will Levis all finished with 20 or more fantasy points and are among the leaders at the quarterback position. This week, fantasy managers will be without Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield, and Bryce Young […]

Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season is in the books, and it was another action-packed one for fantasy managers. We had the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks on a bye, which made setting those lineups a bit harder, and the games themselves brought plenty of highs, lows, and […]

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

As the weather begins to change, the importance of running backs on your fantasy roster becomes clearer. In Week 10, 20 running backs posted double-digit fantasy production. Considering we had four teams on bye last week, it's even more impressive. Once again, as we enter Week 11, fantasy managers face replacing some productive backs as […]

TE Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

If a tight end can manage 10 fantasy points, there is a good chance they will put up top-12 production. Before the Monday night game was played, only 10 tight ends registered double-digit fantasy production. We all expected Mike Gesicki to have a big week. However, his nine targets did not equate to fantasy relevance. […]
