The Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 4
We're cooking with gas now and officially entering Week 4. Keep tinkering with your roster, especially with those last 1–2 bench spots. Unless your roster is a juggernaut, those last two spots should be revolving doors until you hit on one of those lottery tickets. It's important not to read too much into the fantasy […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoDustin Hopkins (K, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4.7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While there were concerns about how the Washington offense would look after losing Fitzmagic, Taylor Heinicke has done a pretty good under center. They scored 30 points in Week 2 and 21 this past week. In Week 4, they get to go up against […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15.4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Browns' defense, prior to playing an inept Chicago Bears offense, has struggled to stop anyone. While Week 3 might give some hope this defense has turned the corner, I wouldn't be so sure. I fully expect this game to be a […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoGreg Joseph (K, MIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2.9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 24. 33. 30. That's how many points the Vikings have scored this season so far. This is a very good offense and fantasy managers need to take notice. Kirk Cousins has been surgical on the gridiron thus far this year. Joseph has six field […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoFinding Tight End Breakouts And Busts – Week 3 Edition
Here’s the thing, when it comes to tight ends ranked outside the top-six, there are going to be a lot of mistakes. The position is extremely volatile and even the best options are prone to some extremely big clunkers. Their roles can change significantly week-to-week. Very few guys have locked-in roles like Darren Waller and […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoWeek 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Hopefully y'all read this article last week because you would've gotten a "leg-up" on your competition. Yes, I am going to try and make it 17 straight weeks with a terrible kicker pun to start each article. To be fair, I'll try not to use any duplicates. In all seriousness, last week my four streamers […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoThe Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 3
As a hardcore NFL fan and one who loves to play couch-General Manager a little more than I probably should, the one thing I've learned is that mistakes are okay. They're going to happen. Drafting in the NFL Draft or fantasy football for that matter is incredibly difficult. Don't believe me? Go back and look […]

I hope everyone reading this was able to start their fantasy season off on the right foot (get it? Foot, kickers... yeah, you got it). But in all seriousness, hopefully, Week 1 went just as you imagined it. I know in several of my leagues the point difference between a victory or defeat was less than […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoFinding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders
The tight end position is undoubtedly the worst position in all of fantasy football. Luckily for fantasy managers, this year might just be one of the best. There looks to be, by my count, six really solid tight ends fantasy managers should be able to depend on from week to week. We all know the […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoThe Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 2
Week 1 just wrapped up and it's always hard not to overreact to what we saw opening weekend, but nonetheless, decisions must be made. Playing the waiver wire is one of the most important aspects of fantasy football success. Teams go through so much roster turnover over a 17-game schedule and with the extra game […]

Alright, football fans! We have officially made it. This week officially starts our march to Fantasy Football Glory. The first week of the NFL season comes with those agonizing start/sit decisions that we all love to hate so much. The first week of the NFL season is often the easiest as it pertains to our […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoHigh-Upside Bench Players to Stash
Our fantasy drafts are always just one piece to the bigger championship puzzle. Most fantasy rosters go through an incredible amount of turnover and as fantasy managers, we are constantly looking for a winning combination. Our benches are often a mixture of solid enough players we can throw into our lineup in a pinch or […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoKickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts
The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoRashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~215 ANALYSIS: The passing volume in Baltimore is not ideal. The injury to Rashod Bateman is also not ideal and yet, I am suggesting him for your fantasy team. I'm betting on talent here. He was a first-round pick for a reason. As a sophomore in college, […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoD.J. Chark is the Jaguars Receiver You Want
Why is D.J. Chark not receiving more fantasy love? Not only is he not receiving the kind of fanfare he should be, but there are some who believe Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver in 2021. That's certainly a possibility, but fantasy managers need to remember just how good Chark […]

Robert Lorge 3 years agoBig-Name Wide Receivers to Fade
In every fantasy football draft, fantasy managers are constantly looking to do two things. The first is to find value and the other is avoiding busts. It seems so simple. If only that was the case. Still, that is the goal. Every, single year. Oftentimes, fantasy managers spend more time looking for value picks than […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoZero-RB is an Excellent Draft Strategy in 2021
First things first, and this is where most people throw out the Zero-RB strategy immediately – it is not made for every fantasy football league. It is a draft strategy that is to be used in specific draft settings. Part of the reason Zero-RB gets such a bad rap is it is believed to be […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoTaylor Lewan Indicates He'll Be Ready For Week 1
Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan has not practiced in full yet as he continues to recover from his torn ACL injury he suffered last season. However, according to head coach Mike Vrabel he's gone through some jog-throughs and is progressing nicely. All the optimistic talk makes sense as he was not placed on the […]
Robert Lorge 3 years agoJulio Jones Still Not Practicing For Titans
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones suffered an undetermined injury on Monday, but the team does not believe it's serious at this time. Jones is a 32-year-old receiver who has struggled staying healthy in recent seasons, even though he almost always seems to work his way onto the field come game day. The Titans are going […]
