Blair Andrews suggests some trade offers, looks forward to Christian McCaffrey’s return, and asks whether D’Andre Swift might already be a top-five NFL RB. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB owners. We’re just as focused on the high-profile backs. Understanding workloads is…...

Hopefully, fantasy managers survived the injuries, even if they couldn’t be completely avoided, given the number of injuries in Week 5. After Cordarrelle Patterson popped in the running back advanced stats last week, he exploded on Sunday against the Jets. Patterson totaled 114 yards on 14 carries and seven receptions. Don’t quit on Javonte Williams, given the consistent running back advanced stats even though Melvin Gordon…...

In this weekly article, we’ll use the RotoViz GSLP projections to identify streaming options at the quarterback position, as well as running backs and wide receivers that make compelling cases for flex consideration. If you’re new to the site or unfamiliar with the GLSP process, please read through the link below before making use of GLSP this season. Game Level Similarity…...

Shawn Siegele praises the performances of the AFC uber-backs, looks for opportunities to churn the back of your roster, and locates two backs to buy before the breakout. It was a huge week for the AFC stars, and that’s one reason we always note that the Watch List isn’t just for Zero RB drafters. Understanding high-profile workloads is key to making tough redraft and dynasty…...

Week 5 was another intriguing week for NFL tight ends. We saw the first true signs of the superstar Kyle Pitts could be. Dawson Knox continued his epic breakout season. While we also saw Ross Dwelley … well, a bit of him. But whatever we saw, you can’t deny it wasn’t fascinating viewing. Week 6 sees the beginning of those eternal friends of the fantasy…...

Blair Andrews examines a crazy week, including the Myles Gaskin performance that will hopefully silence doubters for good. Week 5 saw four different teams score over 40 points (and one of those teams still lost), and culminated in a come-from-way-behind, overtime win for the Ravens on Monday night with Lamar Jackson passing for 442 yards and four touchdowns. Despite that, it was a disappointing week…...

Shawn Siegele praises a Chargers marriage made in heaven, breaks down a fluid Cardinals offense, and professes his love for the winless Dan Campbell. Cordarrelle Patterson scored 18 more points during the London showcase, and the early-drafted superstars seemed to take it personally. Derrick Henry and Austin Ekeler combined for six touchdowns, including a hilarious final score where Cleveland defenders actively lifted and carried Ekeler…...

In this edition of Win the Waiver Wire, Sam Wallace shares his top waiver targets for Week 6 in seasonal fantasy football leagues. This week saw the return of the Sunday morning game across the pond and more than a few exciting finishes throughout the weekend. By this point, you know how this article works. My goal is to identify players I think are worth…...

In this weekly article, Bjorn Yang-Vaernet uses the Advanced Stat Explorer and other RotoViz tools to dive deep into wide receiver usage trends. Usage is key for making waiver wire adds, start/sit decisions, and finding the next blow-up WR in DFS. This week was the first real huge week for wide receivers. Four players scored more than 30 PPR fantasy points: Tyreek Hill – 47.6…...

Blair Andrews questions the perceived values of the Cleveland Browns running backs, offers some hope for Michael Carter drafters, and wonders what the New England Patriots are up to. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB owners. We’re just as focused on the…...

Last week, we highlighted David Montgomery as a potential buy low based on the advanced metrics. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury on Sunday. After 23 carries for 106 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, Montgomery ranked fifth with 22.6 fantasy points heading into Monday night. Early reports indicate Montgomery avoided a torn ACL, but he’ll still receive further testing. The buy-low window is probably…...

Shawn Siegele examines the encouraging numbers for Ezekiel Elliott, the frightening trend for Alvin Kamara, and the next wave of Zero RB stars-in-the-making. This was a big week for the preseason Zero RB Candidates List, as options like James Conner, Kenneth Gainwell, and Alex Collins all found the end zone. Conner still looks like a shadow of his 2018 self, but Gainwell and Collins are…...
