Weekly fantasy football picks, start/sit decisions, matchup calls, and lineup recommendations from PigSkin Fantasy.
Week 7 is here, and between injuries, bye weeks, and unexpected breakouts, your fantasy lineup may look more like a pigpen after feeding time. With Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Chargers, and Washington on bye, managers need smart alternatives, not the same old obvious recommendations everyone already knows. (Start Josh Allen and bench Blake Grupe? Gee, thanks!)…
Four teams are on bye, so fantasy managers are digging through the pigpen for replacements. Don’t panic-buy last week’s points. Find the matchup, find the opportunity, and feed the right pig. Start ’Em Germie Bernard, WR, Steelers at Buccaneers Bernard is the kind of under-the-radar receiver fantasy managers should be hunting during bye-week season. He…
Five Sundays are in the books, the injury report looks like a crime scene, and waiver claims are due soon. This week’s list is built around the backfields and receiver rooms that just got thinner. The ground rules: Every player in the main list below was under 50% rostered in the data we checked. Percentages…
Fantasy football rankings are useful. They’re also occasionally wrong. Like putting pineapple on pizza wrong. That’s where sleepers come in. For Week 5, we’re not looking for some random player buried at RB47 who needs a miracle to matter. We’re looking for players who are currently ranked outside the top 24 at their position but…
Week 5 is here, the bye weeks have arrived, and fantasy managers are officially rummaging through the pigpen for answers. Here are eight players where the matchup should make the decision easier. Start ’Em Jared Goff, QB, Lions at CardinalsArizona has been generous to opposing offenses, and Detroit brings one of the league’s best scoring…
Four weeks are in the books. By now, we know which fantasy football managers are contenders, which ones are pretending to be contenders, and which ones are refreshing the waiver wire at 2:00 a.m. while insisting they are “just looking.” Week 5 is where things start getting interesting. The injuries are piling up. The bye…
Saturday morning. The coffee is brewing. The fantasy lineup is open. And suddenly that player you were perfectly comfortable starting on Wednesday looks like the worst decision you’ve ever made. Welcome to the Saturday Morning Panic Meter. Every week, fantasy managers head to FantasyPros and ask the same question in approximately 7,000 different ways: “Who…
Fantasy football rankings are useful. They are also wrong every week. That is why we don’t simply stare at a ranking and accept it as gospel. Rankings are a starting point. Usage, opportunity, matchup and game environment are where the real clues live. For Week 4, there are four wide receivers sitting outside the consensus…
Three weeks in, we finally have enough evidence to separate a fluke from a trend. Week 4 is where PigSkinFantasy starts trusting the data… but not blindly. START ’EM QB Bryce Young, Panthers vs. LionsYoung cooled off last week but still threw for 291 yards. Now he gets a Detroit defense that ranks 31st against…
Welcome to Saturday morning, the exact psychological tipping point where sane individuals turn into absolute lunatics. Right now, across the globe, millions of fantasy managers are staring at their rosters at 8:00 AM, fueled by nothing but black coffee and a dangerous amount of unearned confidence. You’ve spent the entire week reading target-share analytics, obsessing…
