This has been a rough year in fantasy football for the quarterback position. Unfortunately, it's been equally as challenging for some NFL teams. One such team is the New York Jets. The Jets are sitting at 6-4 and in the running for a playoff spot, but second-year quarterback Zach Wilson has struggled mightily despite a […]

Week 12 is officially here which means we get three different Thursday games. Additionally, fantasy football fans should rejoice at the first week without byes in quite some time. That will be fleeting once again starting in Week 13, but at least we have something to celebrate. Offensive football continues to struggle in 2022, especially […]

There were several high-scoring teams in Week 11, especially a 67-point combined shootout between the Steelers and Bengals.

Week 10 is in the books and the bye weeks keep on coming. Fantasy managers have been forced to not only navigate a consistent stream of bye weeks, but also significant injuries amongst different skill players.

Dan Fornek 2 years agoTop Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: Daniel Jones, Marcus Mariota, Davis Mills
We had a slight scoring regression in Week 10 of the NFL season. Six teams scored at least 30 points, but four of those six teams played against each other. That’s great for entertaining football but didn’t help fantasy managers hoping for offensive output at the quarterback position. Thankfully, we did have some notable quarterback […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton continues to struggle as the signal caller for the Saints, which is leading to murmurs of a quarterback switch.

Navigating the bye weeks was probably a nightmare for fantasy managers. Thankfully, we finally got some explosive offensive performances from the teams that were playing. However, offensive line play continued to be inconsistent despite the uptick in offensive production. Thankfully, there weren’t many significant injuries across offensive line units in the NFL in Week 9. […]

Football fans got spoiled for the second week in a row thanks to a handful of high-scoring contests. Unfortunately, fantasy managers didn’t get equally high scoring out of their fantasy quarterbacks on an extremely bye-heavy week. Tua Tagovailoa was the only quarterback in the NFL to throw for over 300 yards in Week 9. Both […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones had an unproductive game the week before New York’s bye (9.04 fantasy points), so it’s possible he found his way to the waiver wire as fantasy managers searched for a streaming option.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield is far from a priority add-on waivers, but he may have value once again after looking good in mop-up duty after the Bengals raced out to a giant lead in Week 9. At the very least, he may have forced […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There isn’t much to say about Deshaun Watson except for the fact that his suspension ends after the Browns’ next three games.

Dan Fornek 2 years agoShould I pick up Phillip Dorsett after his Week 9 performance? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook
The 2022 NFL season had one of the most notable trade deadlines of recent memory, with plenty of players changing locations to finish the season.

Dan Fornek 2 years agoIs Darren Waller playing in Week 9? Should I pick up and start Foster Moreau for fantasy football?
It seemed like fantasy managers were getting a great discount on a high-volume tight end throughout the fantasy draft season when Darren Waller was being drafted as the TE4. Unfortunately, things have not gone to plan through the first eight weeks of the season. Waller (and the Raiders’ passing offense in general) has struggled to […]

Week 8 provided a glimmer of hope for offensive football in 2022. Eight teams (a 2022 season high!) scored at least 30 points in Week 8. Collectively, offensive line play didn’t improve immensely, but we also dodged any significant long-term injuries for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, Week 9 is one of […]

It may have taken us eight weeks, but fantasy managers got some explosive production out of the quarterback position. Six quarterbacks (Tua Tagovailoa, Zach Wilson, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Jared Goff, and P.J. Walker) finished with over 300-passing yards. Four quarterbacks had three or more passing touchdowns (led by Jalen Hurts' four). Week 9 will […]

The Rams announced this week that running back Cam Akers will once again be unavailable as the team works to find a trade partner for him.

What more can be said about the continued lack of explosive offense in the NFL during the 2022 season? Scoring (real and fantasy) is down across the board as offenses struggle to find their footing this year. That is also true for offensive line units across the league. Just 10 teams had a combined PFF […]

From a quarterback perspective, Week 7 can be defined by the extremes. Two quarterbacks (Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes) threw for over 400 passing yards. Four other quarterbacks (Andy Dalton, Trevor Lawrence, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Davis Mills) eclipsed 300 passing yards. However, 13 of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL failed to throw for over […]
