That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t improve your team. Trades are as important a part of Fantasy Football as they are in the real NFL. The issue is tempting one of your rivals to part with a star piece. Free-agency allows users to select players who may not be in the mainstream eye but are facing a favorable matchup. Week 3 has several such matchups, and here are some fantasy picks you should investigate ahead of Sunday’s games:...

These moves don’t always work out. Sometimes, you add a potential streamer only to see him get hurt or benched. Other times, you drop a handcuff only to see him emerge as the starter. That said, when you do make the right move and land a guy before his breakout, it’s a huge win, as you can get a productive piece without having to use a waiver claim or FAAB money....

The early weeks of the season can make or break a fantasy team’s season, so it’s important to scour the wire at all times. Maybe a roster spot opened because one of your players became IR-eligible. Maybe you just dropped a fringe player who has been battling injuries and just lost his QB for multiple weeks (cough, Michael Gallup and Dak Prescott, cough). The owners who find long-term fantasy success often anticipate who will be the following week’s top pickups and add them as free agents before having to burn valuable waiver claims or FAAB money....

With high-profile injuries at Liverpool, Manchester United, and Everton you may be panicking, but fret not! Below are three players who can replace injured stars in real and fantasy football alike. Divock Origi (Forward, Liverpool, Price 6.7, Ownership 2.02%) The Belgian forward looks set to be called back into Liverpool’s first team following Sadio Mane’s knee injury . Origi has a goal and two assists in the last five matches despite only managing one start over that period but the hope is that an increase in minutes will also mean an increase in goals....

Below are the draft strategies I used and my team picking from the No. 9 spot. For context, this is a 12-team, non-PPR league starting one quarterback, two running backs, three receivers, one tight end, one flex (RB/WR/TE), one defense and one kicker with six bench spots (16 rounds, 192 total picks). Feel free to use it as a blueprint (or a cautionary tale) as you head into your own fantasy football drafts....

Well, if you consult our handy fantasy football cheat sheet, you’ll ultimately find that we have Foster ranked 37th among RBs. Esteemed Sporting News colleague Chris Littmann said “feh” to that ranking and made Foster the 28th RB off the board with the first pick of the seventh round in our recent Experts League draft. If Foster can beat his projected timetable for return, Littmann will have Peterson, whom he took with the first pick, and Foster as his starting RBs by Week 4....

Before you set your lineup this week, we’ve rounded up all the latest news and updates regarding key injuries for Week 2 of the NFL season. WEEK 2 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Will Odell Beckham Jr. play on Monday Night Football? UPDATE: Beckham said Thursday that his ankle was a “6-to-8 week” thing and that he might not return until Week 5....

4-Star Players Andre Johnson, WR, Texans. Johnson had a very tough matchup last week against the Seahawks’ secondary and still emerged with nine catches (12 targets) for 110 yards. What have we learned? First, Johnson’s shin was apparently healthy despite being a game-time decision. Second, start your studs. That applies to Johnson again this week against the 49ers’ No. 3 pass defense. MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL: Biggest Busts | Waiver Wire | Join Fantasy Source 3-Star Players...

Beyond worrying about mounting injury attrition, D’Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, T.J. Hockenson, Derek Carr, Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, Dameon Pierce, Brandin Cooks, and Derrick Henry not playing means the player pool is becoming smaller this week. Moreover, the Lions, Titans, and Raiders all feature lackluster defenses that tend to create legit sleepers out of otherwise middling players, which only creates more lineup headaches. Navigating through a smaller-than-usual array of potential starting options, here are our must-starts and start ’em sit ’em recommendations for Week 6....

Once again, we have four teams — the Bills, Bears, Giants, and 49ers — on bye. That means players such as Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Allen Robinson, Brandon Aiyuk, and Wayne Gallman, among others, won’t be available for your lineups. While this week isn’t as bad as others in terms of overall impact, the loss for four teams, including two with questionable defenses, definitely thins out the ranks. Many owners will be forced to dig deep to field a high-upside lineup, so let’s break down some key players on the start ’em, sit ’em bubble to help you get a “W....

Whether you’re trying to avoid busts, play matchups, or turn waiver-wire sleepers into more stable fantasy assets, our trade advice is to always scan for fantasy stocks likely to improve and look for opportunities to sell high. Let’s take a look at this week’s fantasy football trade advice as player values and perception fluctuate. MORE: Week 4 fantasy football rankings:Quarterbacks | Running backs | Wide receivers | Tight ends | Defenses | Kickers...

Though you may not be ready to move on from any players on your squad, you also don’t want to be caught flat-footed while someone else in your league snatches up Week 1’s biggest breakout. Sure, you can only do so much to try to predict who that will be – and you only have so many roster spots with which to work – but there are plenty of guys you can take educated guesses on depending on the size of your league....

Whatever your situation, you might also be looking to stream a TE or a D/ST. The pickings are slim in our full waiver list for next week, but with only a few teams still in contention for prizes in most leagues, that’s OK. There’s at least one player available if you don’t like the matchups of your usual starter(s). You can’t take your waiver position with you into next season, so don’t be afraid to use it, whether it’s for a player you need or to block your competition....
