High-Upside Bench Stashes: Week 2

Fantasy football often requires thinking ahead of the competition. This article introduces high-upside bench stashes to target on league waiver wires ahead of Week 2, as most leagues use either a free-agent auction-based (FAAB) waiver system or a standard worst-to-first order for top waiver priority. Either way, taking advantage of players ahead of plus-matchups in […]

Week 2 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a Week 1. As we've come to expect from the NFL, we saw the unexpected. We had some young teams (like the Eagles) break out and some veteran teams (like the Packers) fall short.
