Michael Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Taysom Hill, Derrick Gore, Jeremy McNichols, Adrian Peterson

The trade deadline is now behind us. The roster shakeups may be complete for NFL teams (barring any signings), but it never stops for our fantasy football teams. The grind never stops -- especially for those in deeper leagues who typically are upset when reading waiver wire articles, because many of the players listed in […]

The Cut List – Who To Drop for Week 9?

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

In Week 8 we witnessed a few unfamiliar names register QB1 performances.

Josh Allen, Jimmy […]

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a rough night in a Week 8 victory versus the New York Giants. Kelce saw seven targets, but was only able to go for 27 yards on four receptions.

Darrel Williams Catches Six Balls In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams did a little bit of everything in a Week 8 victory versus the New York Giants.

Derrick Gore Finds End Zone In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back Derrick Gore came out of nowhere to put together a nice performance in a Week 8 victory versus the New York Giants. Having just one carry on the season entering tonight, Gore would finish with 11 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown. Despite the nice game, Darrel Williams still […]

Patrick Mahomes Has Another Shaky Performance In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes put together another shaky performance in a Week 8 victory against the New York Giants.
