We made it through another week without multiple serious injuries, other than Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Still, this could affect your fantasy teams and you’ll need some fantasy football waiver wire pickups to replace him or block an opponent from a key pickup. If you’ve been here before, you know what I’m going to say: active fantasy managers win their leagues. With four teams on a bye this week (WAS, HOU, JAX, ARI), you’ll need to find some gems as waiver wire pickups to make an…

Former 2017 first-round pick tight end David Njoku could be in a different uniform by the NFL trade deadline. Njoku originally expressed his concerns about being dealt away to a new team after the Cleveland Browns brought in Austin Hooper in the offseason. After a strong 2018 season, Njoku has dealt with injuries that have kept him sidelined more often than not, but he is currently healthy, making now the perfect time for David Njoku trade. Here are the three most likely Njoku trade destinations as we approach the NFL trade deadline. David Njoku Trade Destinations | NFL Trade Deadline…
We finally had a normal weekend of football, as no teams were forced to postpone their games due to COVID-19 worries.

With more injuries and bye weeks coming up, nailing your Week 7 fantasy waiver wire pickups could be vital. In order to keep your fantasy playoff chances in reach, you have to be active on the waiver wire each week and grab those low-cost, high-upside players. Here are my top waiver wire pickups heading into Week 7 that are worth…
For the second straight week, we ran into more COVID-19 issues with the postponement of the Broncos-Patriots and Bills-Titans games. Many injuries hit the league again this week as well, making the Week 6 fantasy waiver wire pickups that much more important. I said it last week and I’ll say it again: active fantasy managers win their leagues. If you were here the previous five weeks, you know the drill. In order to stay in contention for the fantasy playoffs with all these injuries plaguing your team, you have to work the waivers and grab players who are on the…
After a wild week of football, with both the Titans-Steelers and Patriots-Chiefs games postponed due to COVID-19, we made it to Week 5. Barely, but we did it. Both Austin Ekeler (hamstring, knee) and Nick Chubb (knee) have been ruled out for at least four to six weeks. That now makes McCaffrey, Barkley, Ekeler and Chubb all down before we enter Week 5. This makes the Week 5 fantasy waiver wire pickups that much more important. Active fantasy football managers win their leagues. If you lost your first round pick already, it’s okay don’t worry. You can work the waivers…
Another week of the season has wrapped up, and yes, the injury total has increased yet again. Tarik Cohen tore his ACL and will be out for the remainder of the season, along with small, uncertain, injuries to players like Diontae Johnson (concussion), John Brown (calf) and Dallas Goedert (ankle). This makes the Week 4 fantasy football waiver wire pickups that much more important. Here are my top Week 4 fantasy football waiver wire pickups that are worth adding, if you’ve been hit with any of these injuries thus far. And of course, some players that are worth dropping, but by…
Two weeks into the season, we lost the first two picks of most fantasy drafts in Saquon Barkley, who’s out for the season with a torn ACL, and Christian McCaffrey, who will be out for the next 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain. The list of injuries goes on and on this week, making these fantasy football Week 3 pickups even more important. There are also some players worthy as drop candidates, but they are by no means must-drops. Players must be owned in less than 60 percent of ESPN leagues to be included in the fantasy football…
Chances are, if you’re here reading this, you got unlucky with an injury in your first matchup, or your expectations for a certain player didn’t go as planned. Now, it’s only been one week into the season, so you can still stash those late-round flyers that you think have a chance to boom, but if you need an immediate upgrade already, here are my favorite fantasy football Week 2 pickups on the waiver wire. And, of course, a few players that are worth dropping from your team, but not necessarily must-drop candidates by any means. Players must be owned in…
Losing Marlon Mack for the year to a torn Achilles, the Indianapolis Colts running back corps takes an early hit. With backs like Nyheim Hines and rookie Jonathan Taylor, the Colts could do well regardless, but adding some veteran depth could help them win some more games. There’s concerns in Hines’ running game, considering he’s a small, pass-catching back. Taylor’s hype coming into this season was unreal, but to be honest, he didn’t look explosive at all in Week 1 against a shaky defense. With that in mind, here are the top three options that the Colts could sign to…
D.K. Metcalf Fantasy Breakdown There aren’t many wide receivers in the NFL that are built the way DK Metcalf is, 6’4” 226 pounds and he’s fast. Upon coming into the league last year, there were some concerns with his combine stats and overall ability to play at the professional level which is the reason he fell to the second round after originally being labeled a first-rounder. As for a fantasy perspective, he had major potential to contribute points in all categories. Being drafted to a team that runs the ball more often than not already put him into a rough…
