Fridays are for Five lists of Five, baby. Let’s get you set for Week 6. Because, honestly—all I want is for you to be better than your friends. You’re going to be surrounded by them on Sunday, probably. How sweet would it be if you could be sure you’ve checked every box possible that might […]

I don’t think anyone, after Blake Corum’s Week 3 game against the Cardinals in which he logged eight carries for 28 yards, thought the time had come for him to officially start splitting carries with Kyren Williams. It was likely, anyways, that Kyren managers might have already been stashing Corum. There was, for about a […]

We’re back with Week 6’s best fantasy football stash players, fresh off some middling success. No thanks to once-fantasy-football-sleepers-now-just-jeepers-creepers Dontayvion Wicks, Xavier Legette, and Jerry Jeudy. Though the last, there, might be more of a Deshaun Watson problem. In Week 5, we hit on: Tucker Kraft, Jordan Whittington, and, most gloriously, Alec Pierce. Hope you […]

I didn’t think it’d be someone named Bill Murray who’d be a primary driving force behind my pleas to get you to buy low on Rome Odunze in season-long fantasy. But it’s been a weird season, and Bill Murray—the 27-year-old lineman who had an outstanding preseason for the Bears—stepped in for an injured Tevin Jenkins […]

Sure wasn’t hard to hear the collective scowls of D’Andre Swift owners all afternoon on Sunday, was it? In what was easily Swift’s second-best performance in a Bears uniform, he watched Roschon Johnson finish off two touchdown drives during which Swift’s production was essential. Bummer, I know. Especially as someone who called D’Andre Swift a […]

So! I got the Colts defense all the way wrong last week for our fantasy football lineups, mine included. My apologies. You’d have been better off streaming the Bears. My explanation is only this: Trevor Lawrence faced pressure from the Colts pass rush on only 5.3% of his dropbacks. That is some out-of-their-shoes play from […]

It’s no secret that those of us who aren’t rostering Darnell Mooney in our season-long fantasy leagues are desperate to find the next big—consistently big—thing on the waiver wire. It’s also no secret that I’ve been closely eyeing LA Rams rookie wideout Jordan Whittington over the last few weeks, and evaluating his opportunities as a […]

I’d call Mark Andrews one of 2024 fantasy football’s biggest letdowns, but I think there was a sneaking suspicion that last year’s hip-drop tackle was the death knell for one of this generation’s best and most consistent fantasy tight ends. Regardless, folks who drafted Andrews in the third-through-fifth rounds of their drafts this season are […]
