Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 8 Pickups and Adds
The waiver wire gets thinner each week, as you will soon find out. There are some retreads here that have been added and dropped twice over, but still could prove valuable as we enter the middle portion of the fantasy regular season. With a staggering six teams on bye in Week 8, the best you... Read More
Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 8)
If you read this list last week and thought Justin, how dare you suggest I pick Josh McCown up. I will never read you again, then...well, in that scenario you likely aren't actually reading this. But McCown was fifth among QBs in scoring for the week going into Monday night and he gets Atlanta in Week... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 8
We have somehow managed to escape Week 7 without any significant injuries to top fantasy contributors. Yes, Carson Palmer and Jay Cutler were knocked out, but speaking purely from a fantasy perspective, this was as tame of a week as we could hope for. With that in mind, you'll notice some more repeat names than usual this week.... Read More
Jalen Richard (RB, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Marshawn Lynch's tussle with an official earned him an ejection in Week 7 against the Chiefs, followed by a one-game suspension. After Lynch was ejected, Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington each saw considerable action, with Richard running for 31 yards and catching four passes for 45... Read More

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 7
I'm trying a new approach this week with this column, which is that the introductory paragraphs and the recap of last week's games are going to be combined. But don't worry!

Don’t Call It a Comeback - Second Half Rebound Candidates
Regardless of expert consensus, every year there are a slew of top ranked players that underperform. The question half way through the year is, who’s going to rebound, and who’s going to fall flat? Paint me optimistic today, but there’s a lot of the season left, and opportunities abound. I expect many of the following... Read More

Week 7 Red Zone Risers/Fallers - Players With Scoring Potential
We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone. Still, injuries and bye weeks demand that we find under-the-radar players who have great opportunity to contribute as well. We always need to dig deeper to find great values at the skill positions. Just... Read More
Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks
C.J. Anderson was a big, huge, fat bust last week and I totally missed on that. There, I feel better now. No, not really. While we're all trying to predict the future here and wrong quite a bit, it never feels good to be totally wrong when you're putting it out there for thousands to... Read More
Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 7
Amari Cooper was a huge boom on Thursday night. Marshawn Lynch was a huge bust. The booms and busts are not letting up, especially the under-the-radar ones. With only two teams (Detroit and Houston) on bye this week, there are more under-the-radar boom/bust candidates than in previous weeks. Lucky me! Here are some under-the-radar booms... Read More
Beating the Waiver Wire - Adds for Week 8

Going Extreme with All Bench RB in Week 7
Zero RB is a widely discussed strategy that I happen to buy into. I love the WR position and don’t enjoy the injury risk at RB, therefore avoiding the use of my high draft capital on the position. Today I’d like to discuss a strategy that compliments Zero RB very well but can also apply... Read More
NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 7): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids
The stunners continued this past Sunday. None bigger than the Giants dominating the Broncos in Denver. I could not have been more wrong about it, and neither could the public. The line opened at about 9.5/10 in favor of Denver and closed at 13.5. Nobody believed in the Giants, but they finally came out and... Read More
Week 7 Dynasty Matchup Previews
Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I... Read More
Week 7 Dynasty Mailbag
Another week, another missing star for the rest of the 2017 season as all-world quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone and is slated to be out for the season. In redraft leagues this typically spells the end for any value that Rodgers would have for the season, however in dynasty formats, he certainly still... Read More
Week 7 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks
If you played in DFS contests that included Thursday night's Oakland Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs, I sure hope you played Derek Carr (417 yards, three touchdowns) and Amari Cooper (11 receptions, 210 yards, two touchdowns). If not, well ... you're probably going to face an uphill battle. The goal of this weekly column is to help... Read More
Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 7: Floors and Ceilings
Last week, I introduced a new way to look at consistency in fantasy football based on standard deviation. The method was very well-received on Twitter and Reddit alike, but some had trouble drawing conclusions or making predictions from the raw standard deviations.

Fake News Or Real Deal? Week 7 Waiver Outlooks
We've seen a lot of fake news throughout the years. From "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq to an Ohio postal worker destroying absentee ballots cast for Donald Trump, the news is littered.

#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 7
Writing about fantasy football began as a hobby for me. I’ve been playing fantasy sports since middle school and always seemed to do really well.

Fantasy Football Buy-Low and Sell-High Candidates For Week 7
The waiver wire can only help your fantasy football team so much when your superstars fall by the waste side. Aaron Rodgers’ broken collarbone, Odell Beckham’s fractured ankle and Dalvin Cook’s torn ACL have given fantasy owners several reasons to reach for the antacids this year. So while the hits keep coming to fantasy rosters,... Read More
