The Waiver Wire: Week 7
Week 7 sees some heavy offensive firepower on a break as the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers all get their byes this week. Poor quarterback play seemed to be a theme this week. Thankfully, there were few injuries to contend with and our waiver wire recommendations are largely free of injury-related suggested pickups. A quick note before we get to this week’s article. If your waiver wire has a number of backup running backs available make sure you put a bid in on them. Running backs (and quarterbacks) are only play away from a starting job, unlike wide receivers.

The Waiver Wire: Week Six
Injuries and a few big plays provide us with most of our waiver wire suggestions this week. Bye weeks are now in full swing as well with Buffalo, Indianapolis, Oakland, Chicago all on bye in Week 6. One of these players could be the next big thing or a valuable piece to your playoff run. Make sure you are checking your waiver wires every week and continuing to make moves to improve your rosters. Let’s get to it.

Dynasty Stat Takeaways through Four Weeks
Every couple of weeks, I’ll take a look at various stats to try to determine if any trends stand out. These trends could relate to specific players or situations. I’ll be looking at targets, snap shares, and air yards, among other metrics to help formulate opinions on players and how you as a dynasty player should be interpreting this data. Data is compiled via Pro Football Reference, Airyards.com, Football Outsiders, the Sleeper app, Fantasy Data and other any other place that stats may be housed. Even with four weeks of data the sample size is small and these takes are subject to change. You can find this first article in this series right here. I’ll update a few of the situations we looked at two weeks ago, and I’ve found a couple of new situations that have caught my attention.

The Waiver Wire: Week 5
Concussions seemed to be the injury du jour this week. Jarvis Landry and T.J. Hockenson were both unable to finish their games on Sunday after suffering one. After last week’s relatively quiet week on the quarterback injury front, Mitchell Trubisky was lost to a shoulder (left) injury and Josh Allen went down with a concussion. Besides the regular waiver wire recommendations, I’ll sprinkle in some dynasty advice this week, to spice things up a bit. Bye weeks also continue with two more teams off in week five, the Lions and Dolphins.

The Waiver Wire: Week Four
We’re moving into the fourth week of the season, and fantasy football is in full swing. That means it’s time to start digging deep into your league’s waiver wires. Bye weeks begin with San Francisco and the New York Jets taking the week off. We had no quarterback injuries this week, but Saquon Barkley did go down to an ankle injury. Outside of that, this week was mercifully injury-free for fantasy assets. That leaves less obvious options on the wire. Ownership on the below players varies depending on your league size and owner’s skill level.

Dynasty Stat Takeaways Through Two Weeks
Every couple of weeks I’ll take a look at various stats to try to determine if any trends stand out. These trends could relate to specific players or situations. I’ll be looking at targets, snap shares, and airyards among other metrics to help formulate opinions on players and how you as a dynasty player should be interpreting this data. This week I’m reviewing a couple of rookie running backs, Todd Gurley, a second-year wide receiver breakout and the Green Bay Packers WR2 competition.

The Waiver Wire: Week 3
Week two brought even more injuries and more players that stepped up, taking advantage of the opportunities those injuries provided. There were also a couple of players who came out of nowhere to have breakouts in week two that need to be on your radar. As always I dig through the game tape and game stats to find some hidden gems for your dynasty rosters.

The Waiver Wire: Week 2
Week one brought many surprises. Everywhere you looked an unheralded player put up a monster stat line. Week one also brought with it a slew of injuries that could change the fortunes of many fantasy teams. Some of the suggestions below will be due to injuries while others are based on a deeper look into Sunday’s action.

The Offseason Waiver Wire
This week’s waiver wire article is all heavy on backup running backs. When scouring the waiver wire, you should be looking to add players who are only an injury away from a significant role. Wide receivers don’t typically fit this bill because even when a wide receiver goes down to injury, his targets can be distributed among many other receivers, running backs and tight ends. When a running goes down, his touches are usually not distributed to more than one or two other players. You can hold onto these players and hope that the become outliers. Or you can flip them for late-round picks or FAAB it’s all profit since all it will take to acquire them is the roster space.

Dynasty Impact: Carson Wentz Breaks the Bank
On Thursday night the Philadelphia Eagles locked down Carson Wentz for what will now be the next six seasons, with a four-year $128 million extension. This ensures that Wentz will be leading the Eagles for the foreseeable future, while still giving Wentz a shot at one more long-term contract, at the end of this newly signed one, when he’ll still be just 32 years old.

Dynasty Nightmares (NFL Draft Edition)
A fatalist by nature I’ve decided to look at some scenarios that would turn the NFL Draft into my own personal Dynasty nightmare in what has now become an annual event (three years in a row counts right?). The premise of this article is simple. Which players getting drafted to specific teams would cause a

One Man, One Round Rookie Mock Draft
During rookie draft season I do this thing where I keep ranking rookies in my head. I’m assuming at least 100% of you reading this do the same thing. So that my head doesn’t explode due to me re-ranking these rookies every 14 minutes I thought I’d memorialize my thoughts. Because I love superflex leagues
