Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 11

Rotoballers, if you're not active on the waiver wire this time of year, there are only two reasonable explanations: 1) You're sitting at 3-7 (or worse) and don't find it enjoyable to play spoiler to your league mates, or 2) You're 8-2 (or better) and have nothing but matchup-proof studs on your starting lineup and […]

Week 10 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 10, Christian Kirk, Darius Slayton, Tyreek Hill, and Michael Thomas all had beatable cornerback matchups and finished as the top-four wide receivers in PPR scoring. At running back, Derrick Henry exploited a poor Chiefs run defense and rumbled for 188 yards and two touchdowns, finishing as the No. 1 running back on the week. Ronald […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Darius Slayton, Alexander Mattison, Ryan Finley

By Week 10 of the NFL season, it almost feels a bit disingenuous to still refer to first-year players "rookies." After all, most of them have seen plenty of on-field action at this point. But hey, the term is still technically accurate and therefore will continue to be used in this column. Just know, for […]

There Are Some New Starting Quarterbacks. Does It Matter?

This was supposed to be the year of the quarterback. The position was deeper than it had arguably ever been, and fantasy owners who usually waited to take a quarterback were extremely excited that they could get the caliber of quarterback late in drafts that were available. But football isn't played on paper and injuries, […]

Kareem Hunt's Comeback Is Here... Or Is It?

It's time! Kareem Hunt is finally back as an active member of the Cleveland Browns. The last time we saw Hunt on a football field it was all the way back in Week 11 of the 2018 season. Hunt's suspension for the first half of this season made him an intriguing stash candidate in most […]

What's worse for a fan base than seeing your rebuilding team field a barely professional football team as they march towards the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft by letting Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 35 times a game? Watching your team pull all of those same overtly tanking maneuvers but then lose […]

We are now past the mid-point of the season, meaning it is time to get your roster in shape for a playoff push and championship run. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a touchdown, so those touches are […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 10

The fantasy football trade deadline is quickly approaching in many leagues, and it should be stirring some extra heat under some owners.

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - O.J. Howard, DeVante Parker, Cole Beasley

The fantasy football talent pool is a lot thinner this week than usual, as bye weeks take out nearly a fifth of the NFL teams from Week 10 play.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Keenan Allen, Damien Williams, Mohamed Sanu

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

[…]

Week 9 Surprises? We Must Overreact

In Week 9 several high-end players had exploitable matchups and came through in a big way. Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, and D.K.

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9

Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game. And sometimes a professional football game can technically be played by non-professional football […]

Welcome Back, Matthew Stafford

The NFC North could be the best division in the league. Not only in terms of overall competitiveness, but in how terrifying each defense has been.
