After the Draft: Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Fantasy football draft season is nearly over, as most teams have been formed in the days prior to opening kickoff. All those draft picks looked great at the time, but sometimes adjustments need to be made earlier than expected. Injuries, surprising roster cuts, depth chart shifts, and bad matchups can conspire to make players expendable […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 1

Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us and considering the fact that we didn't have a preseason, we have less information than ever to project how new players and coaches will impact teams on both sides of the ball.  Early on in the season, we will need to use 2019 data to project […]

NFL DFS Value Plays for Week 1 on FanDuel and DraftKings

Week 1 is finally here! There was a time when the idea of NFL Week 1 seemed like a pipe dream, but we are here. It is obviously a bit different this season as there was no preseason action, practices were a bit different, and just the overwhelming cloud surrounding these times in our lives. […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, SF) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tarik Cohen, Duke Johnson, Sony Michel. All players who disappointed in 2019. All of them reached the 150-point threshold in full-PPR leagues. The reason they were considered busts had to do with expectations. Michel should have continued his playoff success from the previous […]

Phillip Dorsett II Questionable For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) has been dealing with a nagging injury, and it appears that he is likely to miss Week 1. Dorsett helps round out this team's receiver corps by giving them a consistent underneath receiver to pair with wideouts Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Dorsett can present some interesting WR3 […]

Seahawks Defense Should Be Benched In Week 1

The Seattle Seahawks Defense was one of the best the NFL had ever seen in the beginning of the last decade, but they've moved towards being an offensive-minded team over the last several years. While they've added some good pieces, especially safety Jamal Adams, this group still has some key areas to improve upon, such […]

Greg Olsen Should Be Faded In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen has potential to be a very valuable piece this season. This team has traditionally utilized the tight end position heavily, but that doesn't mean you should rely on him right away. The Atlanta Falcons were in the middle of the pack last year in defending tight ends, but that […]

D.K. Metcalf Is A Strong Week 1 Play

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is the No. 2 receiver on his team, but he's still a really good fantasy option. His unique combination of size and speed make him difficult for even the best cornerbacks to cover. In games that he saw at least five targets in last season, he averaged nearly 14 […]

Tyler Lockett Has WR1 Upside In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett could be a WR1 at the end of Week 1. He was on pace to finish as a WR1 last season before an injury hobbled him for a month. Now he's fully healthy and he's playing with one of the league's best quarterbacks. The Atlanta Falcons overhauled their cornerback […]

Chris Carson Has An Interesting Week 1 Matchup

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson finished as the RB12 last season in PPR formats, and he can start 2020 on a high note to make it to that RB1 level again. Against the Atlanta Falcons, game script is going to be important. The Falcons have an explosive offense and they can put up points […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 1 (Chiefs vs Texans)

On Thursday, September 10th at 8:20 PM EST, the 2020 NFL season kicks off. It has been a long 221 days since we last saw NFL football and with all that is going on in the world, it felt like (and was even a possibility) this day may never come. Thankfully, the NFL has implemented […]

Russell Wilson Is A Lock For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has continued to put up absolutely insane numbers throughout his career. In 2020, we expect that to continue with a big start in Week 1. This Atlanta Falcons team is in an interesting position. On offense, they're loaded, but the defense is a big question mark. Last season, they were […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups - Week 1

Ah, the waiver wire. It can be what you make of it: a place where you pick up the biggest steals of the week or just a place where players of no value reside, but you can check on them anyway in case you need to. I like to think of the waiver wire as […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

Y'all, it's here. NFL football. On Thursday night, the Texans and the Chiefs will kick things off, which is either going to be a great or terrible start to the year for me, a Texans fan whose wife is a huge Chiefs fan and got a Chiefs Super Bowl tattoo in February. But enough about […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

Did you finish your fantasy football draft and realize that you forgot to take a viable tight end? Are the only tight ends on your fantasy roster Jordan Akins and Trey Burton? If you fall into one of these categories, you came to the right place. All of the undrafted tight ends in your fantasy […]

Waiver Wire Prognostication - Who'll Be Hot Adds After Week 1?

Fantasy football has always been a game about predictions and reactions. We need to be able to predict what might happen and react when it happens (or doesn't). There is no week where that's more pronounced than following Week 1 of the season. Many of our preseason predictions about roles or usage come to fruition […]

ADP Showdown: Courtland Sutton vs. D.K. Metcalf

The draft season brings out a lot of controversial dichotomies between players who are being selected within a few picks of each other. Sometimes these are really easy decisions to make and other times it’s almost too close to call. There are a lot of tough choices at the wide receiver position this year since […]
