Logan Thomas In For Tough Matchup Week 1

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas has a tough matchup in Week 1 as he goes up against the Los Angeles Chargers.

High-Upside Bench Players to Stash

Washington Signs Jonathan Williams To Practice Squad

The Washington Football Team has signed running back Jonathan Williams to their practice squad after releasing him prior to the 53-man roster deadline last week.

Curtis Samuel Practices On Monday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) was on the field and in pads during a practice session on Monday. A groin ailment has plagued the speedy wideout, so his presence certainly is a good sign toward his availability for the opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, fantasy managers should continue to monitor […]

Curtis Samuel Participating At Practice

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) was back at practice on Monday after being limited to individual drills on the sidelines last week. The 25-year-old seems like he is on track to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the lack of practice time he has logged with Ryan Fitzpatrick […]

Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts

The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football

You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]

Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target

With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues.

Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers

Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]

The solution - join at least 10 leagues and you're almost guaranteed to get them all somewhere! For those […]

Must-Have Running Backs for 2021 Fantasy Football

If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes […]

Late-Round Draft Values - Tight Ends

Once you reach the later rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside picks that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]

Dyami Brown Impressing Ryan Fitzpatrick

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown is starting to earn the trust of his quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

He likes being out there […]

John Bates Listed As No. 2 Tight End

Washington Football Team tight end John Bates has locked up the backup role to starter Logan Thomas, according to the team's current depth chart. Washington used a fourth-round pick on Bates in the 2021 draft, so it should be no surprise he beat out Sammis Reyes and Ricky Seals-Jones for the No. 2 spot. The […]

Washington Signs Eddy Pineiro To Practice Squad

The Washington Football Team has signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to their practice squad. The 25-year-old didn't play during the 2020 season, so his most recent action was in 2019. The former Chicago Bear made 23-of-28 field goals while making 27-of-29 extra points during his only NFL season. Pineiro was most recently with the Indianapolis Colts, […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~195 ANALYSIS: The Carolina Panthers drafted Terrace Marshall Jr. in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and he is a late-round flier worth taking in fantasy football drafts. Marshall will step in and be the Panthers' third receiver behind D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, with Curtis Samuel now playing in Washington. Marshall is […]
