Just like that, four weeks of the NFL season are already in the books! With standard fantasy leagues running a 14-week regular season, this means that only ten weeks remain to round your team into form and ensure that you qualify for the playoffs. On the bright side, it was a mild week in terms of key players succumbing to injuries on the field. That said, there are still plenty of situations around the league where injuries are influencing who to prioritize with fantasy football waiver wire pickups. In addition, several young players are growing increasingly relevant on the fantasy…

League-wide parity has been fully displayed through the first three weeks of the NFL season.

The first two weeks of the NFL season have largely been total chaos. From big underdogs winning games outright to surprising fantasy football performances, there has been some of everything. The running back position has been no exception. After two games, De’Von Achane ranks as the RB2, J.K. Dobbins is the RB4 and Jordan Mason is the RB7. Even the New England Patriots, who everyone thought would be downright awful coming into the year, have a top-10 fantasy producer as Rhamondre Stevenson ranks as the RB9. As we turn the page to Week 3, fantasy managers continue to encounter new…

Unfortunately, several fantasy stars have fallen victim to it early on this season. As a result, it is important to attack the fantasy football waiver wire aggressively. Even if your team has managed to stay relatively injury-free, targeting the players who are set to benefit from stars going down is still worthwhile to round out your depth and increase your tradeable assets. Let’s dive into some…

Dobbins, and Jordan Mason. Rest assured, no one saw the entirety of that quintet as the top of their fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em bingo card. As we roll over to Week 2, it’s only fair to expect more of the unexpected. For all of the fantasy stars that exist at the position, injuries, opportunities and matchups remain relevant when it comes to making tough…
Whew, that was fun! Week 1 of a brand new NFL season is in the books. As always, there were plenty of surprises on the fantasy football front, both good and bad. Even in the opening week of the season, many owners were forced to make lineup adjustments thanks to bum hamstrings and unexpected absences. Although most drafted rosters still look promising, it’s important to attack the fantasy football waiver wire early and often. While it’s important not to overreact to a one-game sample size, managers are encouraged to be flexible with the last few spots on their roster. Avoid…
