Studying consensus overall rankings and participating in some mock drafts are great ways to spot underrated players. You will find even more when you realize that even average draft position (ADP) doesn’t always correspond to how productive a player can truly be. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2021 Cheat Sheet Based rankings and ADPs are from FantasyPros’ data for half-point PPR formats, here are the best values and biggest potential steals in the early, middle, and late rounds of your draft....

Savvy owners will have prepared for the bye to some degree, but there’s only so much one can do with a finite bench. Never stop planning ahead via trade or free agency, and before making your final start-sit lineup decisions, scan the waiver wire for all fantasy-relevant skill players entering Week 6. Here are some of my favorite replacement options. Week 6 fantasy football rankings:Quarterbacks | Running backs | Wide receivers | Tight ends | Defenses | Kickers...

Let’s take a look at the top fantasy waiver wire pickups emerging from Week 6. You’re probably better off waiting to pick up these players as free agents, but in deep leagues, these guys could be worth a waiver claim.

The process of adding streamers is always risky. Sometimes, you add the wrong guy and they flop. Other times, the player you release to get a streamer will go off and becomes the top waiver-wire option. There’s nothing more frustrating than that for fantasy owners, but when you time an addition properly and add the next big pickup before he becomes a hot commodity, it is a massive difference-maker....

It’s not only handcuffs in our full free agent list, as a few WR injuries and Amari Cooper’s early-week trade creates some opportunities for under-the-radar receivers. As always, we have a bunch of TE and D/ST streamers (at the end of the list) and even a few QBs who are worth considering this week and beyond. You won’t find any kickers on the list, but if you’re looking for one, check our K rankings when none of your leaguemates are around to make fun of you....

Only two teams, the Lions and Texans, are idle this week, so there are plenty of sleepers to find. Last week, we called Chris Thompson, Evan Engram, DeSean Jackson, and the Ravens D/ST having great games, and we believe these bench-riders and former free agent pickups should at least be considered for a start in your fantasy football lineup.

Meanwhile, Chelsea got crucial big games from Eden Hazard and Victor Moses, and Martin Dubravka had one of the greatest goalkeeping debut’s in recent memory. While many Fantasy owners will want to rush out and buy these players, it is probably the better part of valour to hold off for now. With Champions League matches happening midweek and FA Cup taking over at the weekend, plenty could happen before the next Premier League match on 24 February....

GK: Heurelho Gomes - Watford - 1 Game, 5 Saves, 1 Clean Sheet = 9 Points DF: Shkodran Mustafi - Arsenal - 1 Game, 1 Goal, 1 Clean Sheet = 14 Points After missing the previous four matches, the German defender returned to big effect against rivals Tottenham. The goal he scored at the Emirates was his first of the season and only his third since joining Arsenal so it was a bit of a collector’s item....

As things stand, Kirk Cousins may be the only returning quarterback in the NFC North if Aaron Rodgers doesn’t play in 2021. Between Andy Dalton and Justin Fields, who will get the starting job in Chicago? How well will Jared Goff fare in Detroit? The questions are plenty but answers are few and far between with fantasy football draft leagues set to commence. Potential fantasy football breakout stars in the NFC North Chicago Bears The Chicago Bears drafted Justin Fields in the first round of the NFL Draft even after bringing Andy Dalton on board....

Yes, fantasy owners are the poster children for schadenfreude. When someone’s strategies or sleeper picks blow up in his or her face, we get a little too much joy in their failures. Be honest – if Joseph Randle, C.J. Spiller, Joique Bell, Doug Martin and others are on your “Do-Not-Draft List”, you don’t just want them to be mediocre, you want them to fail miserably.

The world’s top soccer leagues kicked off their 2022/23 seasons earlier this month, so the fantasy football craze is once again ramping up all over the planet. Drafting a team and ranking against others based on how its players perform in real-world fixtures is a uniquely entertaining experience; one that is particularly popular in this late-summer period while the next iterations of the most popular soccer games are still in development....
