Derek Carr Not A Viable Week 7 Option

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have his work cut out for him this Sunday when his team travels to Green Bay to face the Packers. The veteran has done a commendable job managing games so far this season, proving to be a better real-life quarterback than in the fantasy game. Carr has surprisingly led […]

Zay Jones Getting Acclimated With New Offense

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is taking in his first week of practices with his new team as he looks to put a disappointing tenure with the Buffalo Bills in the rearview mirror. After getting traded out West last week, Jones has studied the playbook intensively in hopes to suit up this Sunday to […]

Tyrell Williams Not Practicing Wednesday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. It's not a good sign coming off the bye week, but Williams still has time to get in some practices later this week. For now, consider him questionable to play in Week 7 against the Packers. If he were to play, Williams would […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

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. […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

All of a sudden, the Chargers look like one of the worst teams in football and the Jets look like a playoff contender. Maybe things won't shake out that way in the end but it goes to show how quickly things change in the "Not For Long" NFL. For that reason, we advise looking at […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

We weren't really surprised by the top-scoring fantasy wide receivers from Week 6. Out of the top-20 receivers, only Jamison Crowder, Auden Tate and Jaron Brown were less than 50% owned.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

The Jets are back! OK, maybe not back because they were never here but at least there's some actual hope and fantasy value to be had from a previously winless team. The tight end landscape has changed drastically again, as Hunter Henry returns right at 60% ownership, while breakout second-year Seahawk Will Dissly's season appears […]

Stash Running Backs the Right Way

For those who don't know, I am the #AllBenchRB guy and I will reiterate what that means if you didn't peep my primer last year. I believe that your bench should be filled with RBs. RBs are the most injury prone and RB depth charts the most variable providing you with the greatest opportunity to […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 6

This is Christian McCaffrey's fantasy world and we're all just living in it. At this point, it's just that simple, as it doesn't seem to matter who he's playing with or against.

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Some of you have been rewarded for your meticulous roster planning by receiving excellent production from your running backs.

If that applies to […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers – Week 6

If you have Oakland’s Darren Waller as the top tight end on your fantasy football team, then you are going to need a replacement this week. This is the first four-team bye week of the season, so not only will fantasy owners be without Waller, they will also have to go in other directions if […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 6

It was a monster week for Quarterbacks, as six QBs topped 30 points and 14 topped 19 points (in six-point passing TD leagues) heading into Sunday Night Football.

Darren Waller Bottled Up Versus Bears

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had his least productive game of the season on Sunday, finishing the afternoon with four catches for 39 yards. With Tyrell Williams inactive, the 26-year-old failed to make an impact against a tough Bears Defense as he's yet to find the end zone through five games this season. The […]

Derek Carr Throws For 229 Scoreless Yards

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr led his team to a 24-21 victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday, although his fantasy production left more to be desired.

Tyrell Williams Inactive Versus Bears
