Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Even in today’s NFL, quarterbacks get hit to the ground rather often -- and usually, they bounce right back up. Aaron Rodgers did not bounce right back up, and could now miss the rest of the 2017 season with a broken collarbone. The bright side of losing a QB is that streaming that position tends […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

If you're back here looking for more options off the waiver wire at RB, chances are you didn't bother to pickup Adrian Peterson last week. While I certainly can't claim knowing he would look that good in Arizona, he was the top mention in last week's article and was by far more valuable as a […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

While there were plenty of movers and shakers on the fantasy scene, the tight end position didn't see as much volatility. Injuries have been the biggest story in the tight end world, but the tight ends remained healthy, at least during this past week. So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze statistics and projections to […]

In the past few seasons, streaming the […]

Week 7 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic On The Pack

This list is ordinarily exclusively about the players who are popular drop considerations from week-to-week who nevertheless have enough value to hold if you have the roster flexibility. I’m going to break format ever so slightly this week to discuss a group of players who I want to caution against selling low, and that group […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 7)

Plainly and simply, this will be your weekly list of those end-of-roster guys that you can safely let go of, with the occasional unfortunate star player that finds his way here due to injury.

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll start by repeating something profound I said in my podcast yesterday: Deshaun Watson is good. I'd put him at the top of this column once again, but it's too obvious in a matchup with Cleveland and you should be starting him anyway. Now that we got that out of the way, I'll continue by […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 6

The under-the-radar booms and busts do not let up just because there are fewer players to choose from! With bye weeks and a mass of injuries ravaging rosters for fantasy football teams across the country, many lineup decisions are automatically made for fantasy owners because some of their players are not suiting up this weekend. […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 6 Lineups

The idea of consistency has become a huge part of fantasy football, and rightfully so. You want players who are going to perform on a weekly basis and will not kill your team with constant duds. In today’s game, consistency has become a measurement of a player’s weekly finish at his position relative to other […]

Week 6 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

Today is Friday the 13th, but the New York Giants have been living a horror movie since early September. In addition to falling to 0-5, New York lost wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall to season-ending injuries this past weekend. It's safe to say the Giants would take a mulligan on this season if […]

Dynasty League Rookie Round Up - Week 6

This column features a weekly look at rookie performances from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. This week I'll look at a few wide receivers who've gotten a lot of usage so far. I'll find other rookies from past seasons that have produced at a similar per-game pace, and see what stands out. Keep in mind that […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 6): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

I don't understand how people think the #Jaguars are good. If the #Steelers lose this week I'll be damned. Rest of my picks below https://t.co/ELrXkWCd8e — Seth I. Finkelstein (@Seth_Fink) October 4, 2017 I am damned. I had two entries in my survivor pool. Three weeks ago, I chose the Ravens over the Jags and […]

Fake News or Real Deal? Week 6 Waiver Outlooks

We've had a lot of developments heading into Week 6 (wow, already?) that will have an impact on things moving forward. From Zeke finally getting suspended (again) to Frank Gore continuing to get old to Carlos Hyde's hip being equivalent to a 90-year old, we have a lot on our plate. Need help and can't decide […]

Fantasy Football Buy-Low and Sell-High Candidates For Week 6

The New York Giants are not the only team running out of healthy players. The injuries are piling up in the NFL and the bye weeks are underway, so fantasy football owners will have to make trades to make sure they have enough bodies to fill out a lineup in the coming weeks. Now is […]

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Questions for Week 6

We're officially here. Yes, we are officially at the point, as of Week 6, where you are officially in "make or break" mode. Yes, fine, it's only week 6. I get it. But you're looking at your team, and you're starting to do the math, especially in dynasty leagues. Maybe you've lost David Johnson, or you […]

AP in AZ - Adrian Peterson Traded to Cardinals

It is exceedingly rare that the NFL sees relevant in-season trades, especially from a fantasy standpoint. The last time we saw something like this was when everyone thought the Browns were insane for trading Trent Richardson to the Colts. Turns out that was grand theft of a draft pick by the Browns. On Tuesday, October […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 6

Kudos to anyone who still has anything that even remotely resembles a healthy, usable lineup through five weeks. This is one of the most sporadic, soul-crushing fantasy football seasons I've ever been a part of, and I'm sure most long-time veterans would agree. It's ugly out there. Just need to keep on truckin' through the mud. […]

Thursday Night Matchups Analysis (Week 6)

So much for a high-flying battle in Tampa... The showdown in Week 5 between one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Tom Brady and a young gun on the rise in Jameis Winston had a few less touchdowns than many had predicted, with New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski scoring 13 of the […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Thankfully, the injury bug didn't bite running backs as hard this week. Many of these names may now look familiar, but it's still important to gauge which players have rising values and which are merely roster depth or desperation plays. If you want absolute clarity on the backfield situation in New York or New England, […]

It's injury and drama-filled week of waiver wire action in fantasy football leagues. We always receive a lot of questions of which players to add off the waiver wire, and who to let go of, but are expecting an uptick this week. As of last week, we thought it would be a good idea to publish […]

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Questions for Week 5

When I'm not phoning in my once-a-week column, I'm in digital marketing. For the most part it means I'm behind a computer working on one of dozens of things, or on a phone. But this week, I got away from the computer, and after a few years of work at a sports-related startup, I was back […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 5

Let the booming and busting begin! Thursday night’s New England-Tampa Bay contest already had a couple under-the-radar booms (Doug Martin, Cameron Brate) and an under-the-radar bust (Dwayne Allen couldn’t catch a pass with Rob Gronkowski sidelined?). This trend will continue into Sunday, guaranteed. Here are some under-the-radar booms and busts for the fifth week of […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 5

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Target Risers and Possible Breakouts for Week 5

If you play in as many leagues as I do, chances are at least one of your teams was ravaged by injuries in Week 4. Dalvin Cook, Chris Carson, Marcus Mariota, Derek Carr, Julio Jones, Rob Kelley, and Jordan Matthews all exited their team’s games early, and in some cases, won’t return this season. We […]
