Booms and Busts - Surprise Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups

The hits keep on coming during the 2020 season of fantasy football. Each week that passes by seems to bring yet another major talent crashing down due to injury. This past week it was Dak Prescott that was lost for the season with a broken ankle. As much as this injury affects the outlook for […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target & Avoid - Week 6

It's Week 6 and with a larger sample size, the CB Matchup Chart is becoming even more meaningful. This week's chart will give the most accurate landscape of CB matchups yet, as I spent time reviewing alignment percentages for WR and CB groups and updated the chart accordingly. The main idea of the chart was […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 6

The pivot plays and post-waiver pickups keep coming, RotoBallers! There is no Thursday game this week to burn fantasy football players, but there are now two Monday night games and plenty of Sunday games that could catch fantasy managers off guard if they do not have backup plans in place for the “questionable” players on […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

More delays, postponed games, and schedule changes. Get used to the new normal. We should be thankful that we at least have an NFL season that has gone mostly according to plan, other than every good running back being injured. The waiver wire will be more important in 2020 than any previous season, especially after […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Yards Per Carry

Are five games enough to start reading into ROS player values based on performance? Unlike baseball, where certain statistics can start to become reliable or "sticky" after a certain at-bat or innings-pitched threshold, it's never the case in football. It's a game where big individual plays make all the difference and only 16 games make […]

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward your primary goal of securing league championships. As this unique regular season continues to unfold, an expanding assortment of tools is available that can provide you with an extensive level of knowledge regarding this critical position.

Engel's Angles: In-Season Tips for Success and Survival

This has been a somewhat stressful and more of an anxiety-inducing fantasy football season than what we have been used to. Major injuries and other health concerns have appeared to add more challenges than we normally deal with in a given year. Of course, the twists and turns we face throughout a season makes our […]

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster Still a WR1?

In the last 10 seasons, only one man has been able to finish with more than 300 PPR points in fantasy leagues while playing wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers: Antonio Brown. The misunderstood and now much-maligned wideout did it six times from 2013 to 2018 without failing at it, getting between 307.3 points and 388.2 […]

FAB Bidding - Week 6 Waiver Wire Targets

Crack that piggybank and recruit some reinforcements! Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Can you believe we're already on our way to Week 6 of the NFL? The season is flying along, even with a lot of bumps along the way. This week saw some wild performances from some unexpected places, including Steelers rookie Chase Claypool going all the way off. It's a great time to get Claypool […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Week 6 is not going to be kind to fantasy football managers at the tight end position. Four teams are on bye, which means fantasy players will not have Las Vegas’ Darren Waller, New Orleans’ Jared Cook, Los Angeles’ Hunter Henry, and Seattle’s Greg Olsen at their disposal. On top of that, fantasy footballers might […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 6

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. […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 5

This series continues into its fifth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 5, we saw performances such as Kyler Murray throwing for 380 passing yards, the Chiefs running backs combining for only 44 rushing yards, and the San […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 5's Studs Turned Duds

As we push past the quarter mark of the 2020 NFL season, it gets harder and harder to keep track of the maturations created by COVID. Games are getting rescheduled, pushed, and canceled. Teams are being given last-minute bye weeks that alter the future schedule in half a dozen or more different ways. We gain […]

The Cut List (Week 6) - Time to Let Go?

If you are familiar with this column, you are probably used to seeing three or four players I dub droppable. For this week, I found that many players that fit the criteria (players owned in at least 30% of leagues) are either obvious drops, or that there just weren’t a whole lot of candidates I […]

Jason Myers Is Quiet In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers continued to be perfect to start the year in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he's still not a great option for fantasy. He went 3-for-3 on his extra-point attempts, but he wasn't able to get any field-goal shots in the rainy weather. Myers is beginning to become more […]

Seahawks Defense Gets Some Takeaways In Week 5

The Seattle Seahawks Defense hasn't been the best through the first month of the season, but they finally showed some life in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. They were able to record an interception and a fumble against the Vikings, and they got after it with their pass rush as well. They came down […]

Will Dissly Snags A Touchdown In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly is no longer the starter, but he was effective for the team in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. He caught his lone target for 19 yards and a touchdown on the night. For a team that has had no problems scoring this year, they were held scoreless for […]

Tyler Lockett Has A Quiet Night In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has cooled off the last couple of weeks after a scalding-hot start to the season, and that continued in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. He caught four of his five targets for 44 yards, and he was third on the team in targets on the night. Lockett wins […]

D.K. Metcalf Has A Big Game In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has been one of the most consistent receivers to start the year, and he was the team's savior in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. He caught six of his 11 targets for 93 yards and two touchdowns. On the team's final drive with a minute to go, Metcalf […]

Chris Carson Plays Well In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson continued his strong start to the season in the team's Week 5 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He had eight carries for 52 yards and a touchdown to go along with six catches for 27 yards. In full PPR scoring, that was good enough for a 19-point night. Even […]

Russell Wilson Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson started the game on a roll with over 15 straight completions, but he wasn't getting the gaudy yardage totals that were expected against the Minnesota Vikings thanks to the heavy rain in Seattle. He finished the night 20 of 32 for 217 yards to go with three touchdowns and an […]

Carlos Hyde Inactive For Sunday Night Game

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder) will be inactive for Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Hyde has been dealing with a shoulder injury and was listed as questionable all week. With Hyde out, Chris Carson could see even more usage while Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas should see an increase in opportunities […]
