Target Risers and Possible Breakouts for Week 5

If you play in as many leagues as I do, chances are at least one of your teams was ravaged by injuries in Week 4.

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

There were many complaints about the lack of waiver-wire options at the end of Week 3, and this just goes to show that you need to be careful what you wish for. In a week that began with Ty Montgomery scaring us all with a rib injury and Davante Adams nearly getting Sleepy Hollow'd, we’d […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 5 Pickups and Adds

So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze statistics and projections to […]

Week 5 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

As we approach Week 5, the Broncos, Falcons, Redskins, and Saints are our first round of teams with a bye week in 2017.

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 5

Sunday's Week 4 slate was absolutely brutal for fantasy owners. It's obviously never fun to see any player in the NFL go down with a serious injury, but fantasy football ends up making the heartbreak that much worse. Not only that, but there have been way too many head-scratching moments this year, and Week 4 was no […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 5)

Waking up early the past two weeks for the London games has left me too drained from football to watch the Sunday night games all the way to the end--once the Seahawks opened the floodgates, I went to sleep. In theory, I like the idea of twelve-plus hours of football, but there's a reason I've […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 4 Fantasy Football Picks

Last week went much better, as the players who are supposed to be stars actually played like it, even some that we didn't expect to. As predicted in this column, Kirk Cousins went bananas, as did Kareem Hunt and A.J. Green. James White... not so much (that's what I get for trying to trust a […]

Week 4 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

It would be incorrect to say that fantasy football rewards patience without also noting that fantasy football just as often rewards haste.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
