All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Welcome to Week 5, Rotoballers! This season, the DFS Value Plays will look at the word "value" from all angles.

Is Isiah Pacheco A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had plenty of preseason hype in fantasy football, and he scored in his first game as a pro.

It was just a matter of time before the injuries to big-name players hit, especially at the running back position.

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Fantasy Football Pickups to Target for Week 5

Rev up those wallets because Week 4 supplied loads of mayhem for us to react to.

Let's be honest with our team's needs and allocate resources appropriately with roughly […]

We'll see how those situations shake out through […]

Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

A month of the NFL season is in the books, but the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football will continue all season. Even though we have four games of data for each team, kicker projections are very elastic week-to-week and it's too early to draw definitive conclusions. That said, four weeks of […]

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5: Zach Wilson, Caleb Huntley, Chuba Hubbard, Skyy Moore, Mack Hollins, Mo Alie-Cox

We're almost a quarter way through the NFL season, but it's never time to stop searching for deep league stashes for short or long-term upside.

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 5?

Now that we're officially 25% into the 2022 NFL season, fantasy managers can begin to be confident that what you see is what you're going to get. Certainly, there will be a few breakouts yet and some injuries, but for the most part, you can begin to feel at least semi-confident in what we know. […]

Is Hayden Hurst A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst had fantasy sleeper status heading into the 2022 season, but after drawing 21 targets through four weeks, he's becoming a trendy tight end waiver add. The tight end position is always a tricky one to navigate and the options are once again scarce in 2022. Fantasy managers without big-name […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Sees Eight Targets In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had another solid game on Sunday against the Buccaneers, catching five of his eight targets for 46 yards.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Catches Three Passes In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was targeted five times in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, hauling in three of them for 63 yards. It was the most yards that MVS has had in a game this season. Expected to be a field-stretching threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Valdes-Scantling has mostly been unable to […]

Travis Kelce Gets Going Early

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught a 16-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, setting the tone early for how his day would go. Kelce led the Chiefs in targets with 10, hauling in nine of them for 92 yards. Kelce is the No. 1 target […]

Jerick McKinnon Quiet In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon had seen his usage rise over the past few games, but that changed on Sunday against the Buccaneers, as McKinnon had just two of the team's 37 rushing attempts. He lost a yard on the ground and caught his only target for one yard. Even worse for McKinnon's […]

Isiah Pacheco Sees Big Workload In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had 12 carries back in Week 1, but his role with the offense plummeted the next two weeks. That changed in Week 4 against the Buccaneers, as Pacheco saw 11 carries for 63 yards, with much of his work coming in the second half. He finished with a […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Finds End Zone Twice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire carried the ball 19 times in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finishing with 92 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a two-yard touchdown, his lone reception. Edwards-Helaire's usage had been a concern coming into this game, but he re-established himself as the leader of the […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Three Touchdowns In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faced a tough matchup on Sunday against the NFL's best scoring defense, but he was able to connect with his receivers for three touchdowns in the win over the Buccaneers. Mahomes was 23-for-37 for 249 yards in the game. He threw one interception and added 34 yards on the […]

Ronald Jones Inactive In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones (coach's decision) will be held out of Sunday's matchup against his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco are active, so the latest update surrounding Jones' status is hardly a surprise. The 26-year-old has fallen well below expectations and hasn't offered anything to fantasy […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Good To Go On Sunday Night

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is officially active on Sunday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old has 10 catches for 105 yards heading into this one. However, it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to expectations so far during his first season with the Chiefs. Still, he is a […]
