The Giants don’t feature any big names at the wide receiver position. That being said, they still have some guys who could potentially be complementary assets for your fantasy football championship game. Those receivers are Isaiah Hodgins and Richie James. Both have been serviceable over the past month or so, as Hodgins has been the…

Gus Edwards hasn’t been putting up the gaudiest of stats over the past three weeks, but he sure has been efficient. The Ravens running back has totaled at least 50 rushing yards and averaged 7.3 yards per carry over that stretch, peaking with a 99-yard output in Week 16 against Atlanta. Given that he’s behind…

If you’re in need of a tight end streamer for your fantasy football championship game, the Saints have two good ones to choose from in Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson. The duo is is rostered in just 55% and 31% of leagues, respectively. Our Sean Koerner has been touting Hill all season as the highest…

Before Week 16, Action Network’s fantasy football staff implored everyone to pick up Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson off the waiver wire. Considering that the talented rookie is owned in just 23% of leagues still, it doesn’t look like many people took that advice. No big deal. There’s one last chance to correct that…

No matter how deep your league is, Week 16 offered plenty of injuries and potential breakout performances to make sure your waiver wire has intriguing names on it. Our fantasy football analysts break down key names you’ll be either bidding on or considering with your top waiver claim.   Click on a player to skip…

With a wild football weekend in the rearview mirror, it’s time to assess the state of our fantasy teams and add (or cut) accordingly. Saturday and Sunday of Week 16 brought a light list of injuries to fantasy relevant players. Wide receiver Christian Watson (hip; day to day) of the Packers was the only player…

We’ve put a bow on Week 15 of the 2022 NFL season and as head coach Bill Belichick would say, “We are on to Week 16.” Ideally — with the help of Action Network’s fantasy content — you are in the midst of your fantasy semifinals. And even if you find yourself in the consolation…

K.J. Osborn played a key role in the Vikings’ historic comeback win over the Colts on Saturday. The third-year receiver went off for a career game, registering 10 receptions (on 16 targets), 157 yards and a touchdown. It was the second straight game in which Osborn has scored, and he also out-targeted Adam Thielen and…

To say Desmond Ridder wasn’t great in his NFL debut would be an understatement. But on the plus side, at least for fantasy, that could be good news for Tyler Allgeier. At 5-9, Atlanta remains in playoff contention due to the sad nature of the NFC South. Reliance on the ground game should be expected…

It turns out the 49ers’ championship window didn’t close when they lost Jimmy Garoppolo for the season. The not-so-irrelevant Brock Purdy has come in and led San Francisco to back-to-back wins in his first two starts. He’s also been decent fantasy-wise thus far, throwing six touchdowns – and rushing for one – since Jimmy G…

Commanders rookie wideout Jahan Dotson is trending up as the fantasy football season winds down. Quiet from a production standpoint over Weeks 10-13 (after his return from injury), Dotson has now scored in back-to-back weeks. The Penn State product has a knack for finding the end zone, as he’s tallied six touchdowns in nine games…

Jonathan Taylor’s disappointing 2022 season came to an end this past Saturday when he suffered a high ankle sprain in Indianapolis’ humiliating defeat to Minnesota. Indy officially placed Taylor on injured reserve on Tuesday, which means the bulk of the carries going forward will go to Zack Moss and Deon Jackson. In a corresponding move…

With a wild football weekend in the rearview mirror, it’s time to assess the state of our fantasy teams and add (or cut) accordingly. Saturday and Sunday of Week 15 brought a relatively lighter list of injuries to fantasy relevant players. RB Jonathan Taylor (IND) sustained a high-ankle sprain against the Vikings and will likely…

We’ve put a bow on Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season and as head coach Bill Belichick would say, “We are on to Week 15.” Hopefully — with the help of Action Network’s fantasy content — you are either preparing for the first week of playoffs or are cruising through with a bye. And…

Action Network’s fantasy football staff wholeheartedly agrees that the Jaguars’ Evan Engram is the top tight end to grab off the waiver wire for Week 15. But in the event that you don’t have a high enough waiver priority or free agent budget, there is another intriguing option in the Titans’ Chigoziem Okonkwo. Previte’s Week…

Another week, another tight end for fantasy managers who don’t have the luxury of owning Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews to consider. This time around we’ve got the Jaguars’ Evan Engram, who had himself a career game in Jacksonville’s upset of the Titans in Week 14. We’re talking 11 receptions, 15 targets, 162 yards and two…

Apparently it’s Zonovan Knight’s backfield in New York. Despite the presences of Michael Carter and James Robinson, it’s the undrafted rookie out of NC State who is taking on most of the work. Knight posted his third solid fantasy game in a row this past Sunday against Buffalo, and now he’s got a soft schedule…

The Lions offense has been humming of late and DJ Chark has been one of the reasons why. The veteran receiver has turned in back-to-back games with at least 90 receiving yards, and has totaled 18 targets over his last three contests. Previte’s Week 15 Fantasy Waiver Wire PickupsRead now That, however, doesn’t necessarily mean…

Action Network’s fantasy football staff recommended picking up Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones before Week 11, after he racked up 99 yards against the Miami Dolphins. As the fantasy football playoffs kick off, DPJ is once again a recommended addition by our staff — assuming he’s still available in your league — following another…

With another wild football Sunday in the rearview mirror, it’s time to assess the state of our fantasy teams and add (or cut) accordingly. Sunday of Week 14 brought yet another terrible day for injuries to fantasy relevant players. QB Tyler Huntley (BAL) was placed in concussion protocol. WR Tee Higgins (CIN) was active but…

A number of shocking things have happened over the first 13 weeks of the season, and setting fantasy lineups might be a serious chore with the sheer number of injuries and befuddling situations. Whether you are undefeated and cruising toward the one-seed, or playing to avoid a last-place punishment, stay diligent on the waiver wire…

We’ve put a bow on Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season and as head coach Bill Belichick would say, “We are onto Week 15.”  Now it’s time to gaze into the crystal ball and see which players we should target on the waiver wire now in preparation for most fantasy playoffs who could pay…

“Streaming” quarterbacks, defenses and kickers has been a fantasy football strategy I’ve successfully used for years. I’ve parlayed that success into a series of weekly recommendations of the top streaming options at those three positions, as well as tight end — a position I don’t recommend streaming week-to-week — which can be of assistance in…

Kenneth Walker exited early on Sunday with what is being called an “unusual” ankle injury. Needless to say, his status for Seattle’s upcoming game against Carolina is very much in doubt, and to make matters worse, there isn’t an obvious fantasy fallback option on the Seahawks roster. There’s DeeJay Dallas, Travis Homer and Tony Jones…

After three weeks of doing a whole lot of nothing, Greg Dulcich broke out against Baltimore and recorded six receptions for 85 yards. In that aforementioned three-week slumber, he had 52 yards in total – sounds about right for a tight end who isn’t Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews. Despite this, the fantasy football staff…

Week 14 was a brutal one for starting quarterbacks with Lamar Jackson, Jimmy Garoppolo and Tua Tagovailoa going down with injuries. If you’re a fantasy manager who owns one (or two) of these three, you’re probably scrambling to find a suitable replacement. One of the hot adds this week is Jackson’s backup, Tyler Huntley. He…

This late into the fantasy season, it should come as no surprise pickings are slim on the waiver wire. Case in point: This story is dedicated to Cam Akers, who has been nothing but a source of frustration all year. The Rams running back turned in his best game of the season on Sunday, totaling…

After a quiet Thanksgiving game, James Cook rebounded against the Patriots and rushed 14 times for 64 yards and added six receptions for 41 yards. While he was outsnapped by Devin Singletary, it is Cook’s second quality performance in three games – the rookie rushed for 86 yards against Cleveland on Nov. 20. Given how…

With another wild football Sunday in the rearview mirror, it’s time to assess the state of our fantasy teams and add (or cut) accordingly.

In need of a high-floor receiving option for the stretch run of the fantasy football season? Look no further than Jacksonville, where Zay Jones has been quietly putting together a solid campaign. The veteran wide receiver has seen a steady stream of targets since Week 3. Over the last three weeks alone, he’s garnered 29…

JaMycal Hasty was one of the surprise breakout performers of Week 12, as he registered 95 all-purpose yards and a touchdown in relief of star running back Travis Etienne Jr., who exited early with a foot injury. Etienne was reportedly cleared to return to action, but the Jags rightfully took the cautious approach with their…

Another injury struck the Jets backfield in Week 12, as Michael Carter sustained a low ankle sprain and is questionable for their upcoming game against the Vikings. Picking up the slack for Carter was the duo of Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight, who combined for 181 all-purpose yards in New York’s rout of Chicago. James…

Remember when Elijah Moore wanted out of New York because he couldn’t stand the Zach Wilson experience? That stance, while crazy unprofessional, aged pretty well for the sophomore wideout as he immediately returned to fantasy relevance with the quarterback switch to Mike White. Moore, a preseason fantasy darling, logged his first touchdown of the season…

Zach Wilson’s abysmal sophomore season hit a new low this past Sunday when Mike White came in and made the Jets offense look like a juggernaut. New York put up 31 points in a drubbing of Chicago, which is more than it scored in two prior contests (30) entering Week 12. In the process, White,…

As much as he would probably like to, Lamar Jackson can’t target Mark Andrews every time he drops back to pass. Someone else needs to be a threat, and this past Sunday, that person was Demarcus Robinson. Previte’s Week 12 Fantasy Waiver Wire PickupsRead now The Florida product had one of the best games of…

Deshaun Watson’s Browns debut is officially looming, as the controversial quarterback is expected to start Week 13 against his former team, the Texans. Needless to say, that profiles as both a plus matchup and a “revenge” game for Watson. That being said, the guy hasn’t played in a game that matters since the 2020 season.…

If you’re in need of a running back for the stretch run of the fantasy football regular season, Samaje Perine just might be the guy you need. Perine went off for three touchdowns in Cincinnati’s impressive win over division-rival Pittsburgh on Sunday. Of course, he largely got the opportunity because Joe Mixon exited with a…

Any questions about the health of Treylon Burks were put to rest on Thursday Night Football when the rookie obliterated the Packers with a 7-reception, 111-yard performance. The Titans aren’t exactly loaded with weapons in the passing game, so Burks is an attractive option as one of Ryan Tannehill’s main targets. Tennessee also has a…

It seems like Latavius Murray is destined to be fantasy relevant every season in some fashion. His ROS prospects skyrocketed on Monday when the Broncos waived his primary competition, Melvin Gordon, after his latest case of fumbleitis. Chase Edmonds is also no threat as he suffered a high ankle sprain and will be sidelined for…
