Kalif Raymond and Chasing Points
2026/09/30
At this point in the season, RB fantasy points tend to solidify for those at the top of the depth chart. That’s not the case for WRs. Here’s why it matters entering Week 4 waivers.
Saquon Barkley
2026/09/29
Four reasons why Saquon Barkley is underperforming in fantasy, and why a big turnaround seems unlikely.
Drake Maye
2026/09/28
There are plenty of reasons to give up on Drake Maye, there are plenty of reasons to hold tight, and there are plenty of reasons to do a little of both.
CeeDee Lamb vs. George Pickens
2026/09/27
Last year they went toe-to-toe as the Cowboys’ co-#1 wide receivers. A big start by CeeDee Lamb has catapulted his already high value. A terrible start by George Pickens has diminished his value. Here’s why that shouldn’t impact how they do the rest of the season.
Jayden Daniels and Fantasy Chaos
2026/09/26
With news that Jayden Daniels possibly could return in the coming weeks, many fantasy managers must brace for one of the worst kinds of fantasy chaos.
The Inevitability of Matthew Golden
2026/09/25
As shared on the July 11 podcast, Matthew Golden was one of my biggest preseason bargains. Here’s why the fantasy market got it wrong, and what we can learn from it.
Tucker Kraft and Fantasy Trade Negotiations
2026/09/24
I didn’t start trade negotiations with my opponent Robbie Lange with the intention of getting Tucker Kraft. But sometimes the best negotiations take us somewhere we didn’t think we’d go.
Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Michael Penix
2026/09/23
How fantasy managers should value Drake London and Kyle Pitts with Michael Penix returning.
Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, and Cam Skattebo
2026/09/22
Jaxson Dart’s Week 2 injury is a reminder of why this summer the fantasy market was wary of the Giants’ top skill players.
The Old 49ers Fantasy Dilemma
2026/09/21
42 of the Niners’ 45 receptions this season have been caught by 30+ year-olds. Four of their skill players are missing much or all of the season, and yesterday Demarcus Robinson was the next one to get hurt, followed by Mike Evans. At what point do managers jump ship?
Jonathan Taylor, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren
2026/09/20
Assessing the risk and impact of a Colts fantasy implosion.
Brian Thomas Jr., Marvin Harrison Jr., and Xavier Worthy
2026/09/19
Most NFL first round wide receivers do just fine. But some don’t, and it’s not always clear in the first two or three seasons which ones will flop. Several recent first-round picks are in this fantasy purgatory: too talented to ignore, but not productive enough to start with confidence.
How Managers Might Have Predicted Dalton Kincaid’s Breakout
2026/09/18
Data from the past 14 seasons helps explain why guys like Dalton Kincaid were undervalued this summer.
Jahmyr Gibbs and Sunday-Thursday Regressions
2026/09/17
Of course Jahmyr Gibbs is a must-start tonight. And of course high-usage Sunday-to-Thursday RBs usually regress statistically. In the likelihood that he falls short of expectations, don’t be surprised.
Jaylen Waddle
2026/09/16
If I had researched this over the summer, I would have labeled Jaylen Waddle a fantasy bust.
