Top Trade Targets and Avoids for Week 10

In a perfect world, you would have traded away Khalil Herbert two weeks ago as recommended and acquired James Conner before Week 9. I won't tell you to make those moves now because the window to get anything of value for Herbert is completely shut now that David Montgomery is back to a full workload […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We can't really talk about why Hunter Renfrow is a waiver addition this week without bringing in some context.

Ankle Issue Keeps Hunter Renfrow Limited Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Unless Renfrow suffers a setback later this week in practice, he should be fine to suit up in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. In last week's loss […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

Well, that was an interesting week. Heavy favorites fell, cellar dwellers won, and many of the top fantasy scorers were on benches or waivers. It's unlikely that Week 10 will bring the same level of unpredictability but that's the great thing about the NFL - you never know what to expect. In this weekly column, […]

Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 9

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

Week 9 was one of the wildest weeks we've had for fantasy football in quite some time.

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This was one of those "fun" weeks where all the heavy favorites inexplicably lose and things go the opposite of how everyone expected. Josh Allen was supposed to be the QB1 but he was dominated by the Jaguars and... Josh Allen. The Cowboys were a heavy favorite at home versus Denver but got blown out […]

Michael Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10: D'Onta Foreman, D'Ernest Johnson, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Dan Arnold

With nine weeks in the books, we are starting to get to crunch time. It’s not quite desperation time with must-win weeks, but we are getting close to that point. Right now you should have an understanding if you are a true contender or not. Even if you feel you are not a true contender, […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10: Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance

One word sums up the NFL games that took place in Week 9: ugly. 17 teams failed to surpass 30 points scored on offense, including 10 teams that failed to reach 20 points.

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9... what an absolute cluster. The Buffalo Bills lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 9–6. The Broncos went and punched the Cowboys in the mouth and the Cowboys didn't even bother to put up a fight. It was quite the week so it only made sense that after a week of championing Greg Joseph and […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 brought all sorts of mayhem in the form of underperforming studs and some wild upsets. We are fortunate when it's "just" that compared to injury chaos, but remember that we're still playing a game where bad breaks can topple you through no fault of your own. Whether you scored a win or took […]

Raiders Release Damon Arnette Monday

The Las Vegas Raiders released former first-round cornerback Damon Arnette on Monday, according to a source. Arnette was the team's 19th overall pick in the first round of the 2020 draft. Just a year later, the Raiders no longer have either of their first-round selections from 2020 (Arnette and wide receiver Henry Ruggs III) on […]

DeSean Jackson Says He's Signing With Raiders

Free-agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who was released by the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week after they failed to find a trade partner for him, said that he is going to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders. This pairing makes perfect sense after the Raiders just released former first-rounder Henry Ruggs III after he […]

Zay Jones Logs Just 20 Yards In Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones caught one of four targets and logged just 20 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the New York Giants.

Bryan Edwards Has No Catches In Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Bryan Edwards caught none of his four targets in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the New York Giants.

Darren Waller Logs 92 Yards In Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller caught 7-of-11 targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the New York Giants. Waller looked like he would put up season-high numbers at the start of the game, but a surprising performance by the Giants defense was enough to limit the damage he could do. Nevertheless, […]

Hunter Renfrow Has Raiders Only Touchdown In Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught 7-of-9 targets for 49 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the New York Giants.

Josh Jacobs Rushes For 76 Yards In Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 13 carries for 76 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the New York Giants.

Unfortunately, the RB1 was also sidelined during portions of the second […]

Kenyan Drake Plays Hybrid Role In Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake had four carries for 30 rushing yards and six catches on eight targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the New York Giants.

Derek Carr Throws Two Interceptions In Sunday's Loss To Giants

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 30 of 46 attempts for 296 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 23-16 loss on Sunday against the New York Giants.
