Matt Ryan surprisingly returned to a starting role in Week 10, and no one benefited more than Parris Campbell. The 2019 second rounder was targeted nine times in the passing game, hauling in seven of them for 76 yards and a score. It was a performance reminiscent of his games from Weeks 6 and 7,…

In need of a one-week streamer at the wide receiver position for Week 11? If so, perhaps Darius Slayton of the Giants is the man you need. The fourth-year pro has turned in three solid fantasy games in a row, most recently posting a 3/95/1 line against the Texans on Sunday. He has a strong…

Registering at least four catches in six consecutive games seems really good. So you might want to go out and make that waiver claim on Donovan Peoples-Jones on Tuesday night. DPJ has been solid all season, and a quarterback upgrade – at least on paper – is on the horizon with Deshaun Watson returning from…

The hits just keep on coming for the defending Super Bowl champions. Rams wideout Cooper Kupp is set to go on injured reserve after sustaining a high ankle sprain on Sunday against the Cardinals. The Super Bowl MVP and 2021 Offensive Player of the Year will undergo surgery and miss at least the next four…

A major injury struck the Cardinals as Zach Ertz went down with a season-ending knee injury. A reliable target for Kyler Murray all season, Ertz totaled 406 yards on 47 receptions in 10 games this season. Next man up? Rookie Trey McBride. Previte’s Week 11 Fantasy Waiver Wire PickupsRead now Arizona selected McBride out of Colorado…

For weeks, Action Network’s fantasy football staff has been pushing Rachaad White as a strong waiver wire add. He might not be so widely available after his performance against Seattle, as he racked up 105 rushing yards to help Tampa Bay triumph in Germany. Another point of intrigue here is that Leonard Fournette sustained a…

Chiefs running back roulette has not been the most enjoyable experience this season. Chances are that if you’ve turned to one of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco or Jerick McKinnon, you’ve been burned in some capacity. For instance, a lot of people thought Pacheco would pop in Week 9 against the Titans. K.C. was coming off…

Parsing out which Packers receiver (who isn’t Allen Lazard) to roster has been a fantasy nightmare this season. Nonetheless, an intriguing option has emerged in rookie wideout Christian Watson. The North Dakota State product scored thrice and eclipsed 100 receiving yards in Green Bay’s upset of Dallas on Sunday. A great game, but now what?…

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 10 was another injury-packed day for fantasy-relevant players: WR Cooper Kupp (LAR) did not return after suffering an ankle injury against the Cardinals. It’s Kupp’s second ankle injury…

A number of shocking things have happened over the first nine weeks of the NFL season, and setting fantasy lineups might be a serious chore with the sheer number of injuries and befuddling situations. Whether you’re 9-0 and cruising toward the playoffs or 0-9 and playing to avoid a last-place punishment, stay diligent on the…

We’ve put a bow on Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season and as head coach Bill Belichick would say, “We are on to Week 10.” Now it’s time to gaze into the crystal ball and see which players we should target on the waiver wire now for a big payoff later. Reminder: The Jaguars,…

Don’t look now, but the Bears are suddenly putting up points in bunches as Justin Fields has emerged as a dual-threat dynamo. A beneficiary of Fields’ play has been tight end Cole Kmet, who’s scored three touchdowns over his last two games. The Notre Dame product has been pretty much unplayable in fantasy for most…

The dream of Raheem Mostert being the bonafide RB1 for the Dolphins died this past Sunday as the newly acquired Jeff Wilson Jr. came right in and posted a superior game. Snaps, touches, receptions, yards … you name it, Wilson was right there with Mostert in what looks to be a newly formed committee. Action…

Entering Week 10 of the NFL season, there probably aren’t too many impactful players still available on your waiver wire. But there is one guy who could pique some interest – Odell Beckham Jr. The stud wideout is reportedly nearing a return to action after suffering a torn ACL during the Super Bowl. He’s got…

Recommending players from a lousy team like the Panthers is never fun – but here we are. Wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. has been hard to ignore lately, as he’s turned in quality fantasy games in back-to-back weeks. The LSU product even outperformed stud WR1 DJ Moore against the Bengals in Week 9. As always,…

No matter how deep your league is, Week 9 offered plenty of injuries and potential breakout performances to make sure your waiver wire has intriguing names on it — not to mention a hectic NFL Trade Deadline impacted a number of clubs.

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. Thankfully, Week 9 was relatively light on the injury front for players not on the Packers. WR Romeo Doubs (GB) was carted off the field with an ankle injury. He was…

A number of shocking things have happened over the first eight weeks of the NFL season, and setting fantasy lineups might be a serious chore with the sheer number of injuries and befuddling situations.

One of the biggest trades before the NFL Deadline involved Bradley Chubb, Chase Edmonds and a whole lot of draft compensation, and the impact for fantasy football players is a sizable one. The Broncos sent Chubb — plus a 2025 fifth-round pick —  to the Dolphins, and in return received Chase Edmonds, a 2023 first-round…

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.

There may be more skill-position players available at the NFL trade deadline than usual. We’ve already seen Christian McCaffrey and Kadarius Toney traded, and there’s an elite running back class of free agents coming this spring. We’re here to help you get ahead of the moves. Below, you can find players who might be moved…

Noteworthy trades are beginning to pop up in the NFL. The trend continued with Kadarius Toney going from the Giants to the Chiefs on Thursday. Kansas City sent a conditional third-round pick and a sixth-round pick to New York for Toney, who has not played since Week 2. Toney flashed signs of greatness last season…

The Panthers traded away their best player and went ahead and beat the Buccaneers anyway. Go figure. A big reason why Carolina was able to pull off the massive upset was because of the play of D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard. The RB duo combined for 218 total yards and are now two of the…

On Monday, Colts head coach Frank Reich pulled the plug on the Matt Ryan experience and announced that Sam Ehlinger is the team’s new starter at quarterback. The 2021 sixth-round pick out of Texas is set to make his first career NFL start at home against the Commanders. With a favorable matchup and a talented…

In regards to Colts wide receivers, it’s Michael Pittman and rookie Alec Pierce who largely gather the most attention. But over the past two weeks, Parris Campbell has been a thing. The 2019 second-round pick has scored in consecutive games and has totaled 23 (!) targets in that span. What are fantasy managers to make…

Another week, another option for fantasy managers desperately in need of a tight end. This time around it’s the Broncos’ Greg Dulcich, who has caught the attention of our fantasy football experts. The UCLA product scored against the Chargers in Week 6 and followed it up in Week 7 with a 6/51/0 line on nine…

Are you a Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers owner who’s tired of waiting for your guy to turn it around? Or do you just need a quarterback streamer for Week 8? Look no further than Daniel Jones. The Giants’ quarterback has been surprisingly solid this season and offers a solid floor due to his rushing…

The Ravens’ backfield continues to be a bit of a mess through seven weeks. Lamar Jackson is their leading rusher, and then there’s a whole bunch of guys … J.K. Dobbins, Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and now Gus Edwards. Dobbins is on the shelf once again after undergoing knee surgery and being placed on injured…

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. Week 7 brought a handful of unfortunate injuries: RB Breece Hall (NYJ) reportedly suffered a torn ACL and a meniscus injury. WR DK Metcalf (SEA) suffered a knee injury but does…

Through three weeks this season, James Robinson had 51 carries, 230 rushing yards and four total touchdowns for the Jaguars. After seven weeks, he was traded for a sixth-round pick that could become a fifth. Robinson ran for 1,000 yards as an undrafted rookie but suffered an Achilles injury that derailed his momentum. The Urban…

Finding fantasy football sleepers isn’t as simple as targeting backups of high-profile RBs. To find the best values, I created my RB Upside Ratings.

Is Mike Gesicki a thing again? A dud from a fantasy perspective for most of the season, Gesicki logged a multiscore day in Miami’s loss to Minnesota on Sunday. With fantasy managers seemingly always in need of a tight end, should they buy Gesicki this week? Or are there better options to target instead? Our…

Patriots wideout Tyquan Thornton broke out in a big way in his second career game, registering two scores — one receiving, one rushing — in New England’s trouncing of Cleveland. You read that right — a Patriots rookie receiver was actually productive for once. But how should fantasy managers react to Thornton’s big game given…

Wan’Dale Robinson registered his best game — 3/37/1 — as a pro in New York’s upset win over Baltimore on Sunday. While that’s nice for him, the fact remains that he’s catching passes from Daniel Jones, which is a bit suboptimal. Is there anything here for fantasy managers given that Giants wide receivers have been…

Largely a non-factor over the first four weeks of the season, Chase Claypool has show signs of life over his last two games. The Notre Dame product registered a season-high 96 yards and one touchdown in Pittsburgh’s upset of Tampa Bay on Sunday. Somewhat widely available, should fantasy managers be scrambling to add the Steelers…

Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst is one of the top guys at the position to target on the waiver wire for Week 6 — and for good reason. He’s scored in back-to-back games and he’s also seeing a fair amount of targets. Our experts dish below on what they think of Hurst both this week…

The Colts offense is abysmal, but one bright spot over the past few weeks has been rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce.

While Kenneth Walker is undoubtedly the running back everyone wants to add off the waiver wire for Week 6, another intriguing option is the Cardinals’ Eno Benjamin. James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) both sustained injuries in Arizona’s last game, which gave Benjamin an opportunity to show his stuff. How aggressively should fantasy managers…

“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 a…

The high-flying Seahawks offense suffered a big blow this past Sunday, as starting running back Rashaad Penny sustained a broken fibula during the team’s loss to the Saints. Penny is out for the year, and the man everyone has their eyes on now is rookie Kenneth Walker. The rookie is an obvious add, but what…
