Michael Florio's Week 5 Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds

The waiver wire had been pretty thin to open the season, especially in deep leagues. Sure, there were weeks with one big piece to grab, but the chances are that in a 16-team league or deeper, people went very aggressive on that player, perhaps even spending all their FAAB on someone like Elijah Mitchell or […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

The matchups of Week 4 delivered a blend of favorable and unwanted developments for managers. This included the return of Dalvin Cook and Darrell Henderson into their teams’ starting lineups. We also witnessed Chuba Hubbard’s first game as Carolina's primary back, while New England progressed through their first contest without James White operating as their […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Through three weeks it seemed like defenses had the advantage in the NFL. However, Week 4 gave fantasy managers hope that the explosive offenses we saw for much of 2020 could get back on track again. 13 teams scored at least 27 points in Week 4 and 11 games went over a 40 point total. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

Week 4 was a high-scoring affair and I'm sure some of you are seeking reinforcements despite dropping 150! Keep one foot on the ground and don't burn down the roster if you're above average in Total Points. The matchup variance will even out. That said, there are some key additions available in plenty of leagues. […]

Willie Gay Could Return This Week

The Kansas City Chiefs opened the practice window for linebacker Willie Gay (toe) on Tuesday.

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Williams does not present standalone value as managers plan their Week 5 lineups.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon has been signed to the 53-man roster and will make his season debut on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.

Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is no reason--not a single one, seriously--not to add Dallas Cowboys' tight end, Dalton Schultz, to your roster. I mean, obviously, if you already have one of the stud-TE such as Travis Kelce or Darren Waller you will probably have between zero […]

Josh Gordon: Are We Doing This Again?

Josh Gordon is the fantasy football equivalent of this Grand Theft Auto meme. We know he's unlikely to have an impact on your fantasy season. We know he's unlikely to ever get close to his peak of 2013 again. We know there's a better chance he doesn't finish the season than there is of him being […]
