Week 16. For the majority of leagues, the fantasy football championships. Seasons came to an end today. Trophies won or lost. Sure, there's Monday night, but many 'ships were secured on Sunday. Speaking of Sunday, most of the day was dominated by the news of Todd Gurley not playing against Arizona. C.J. Anderson started in Gurley's stead and delivered a league-winning performance — were you able t...

It is finally here. 15-and-a-half long weeks have led us to this point. It's nearly time for the 2018 fantasy football championship round! Did you make it to the title game? If so, you're probably dealing with a lot right now. Injuries, tough matchups, and regressing players have all come to the forefront of the fantasy playoffs. James Conner might not play again, and now Todd Gurley and DeAndre H...

The semifinals of the fantasy playoffs are nearly complete. Have you secured your spot in the fantasy Super Bowl? Or, did you suffer a terrible defeat at the hands of an oddly low-scoring Sunday? In fact, only two games featured a ton of points, and they were both blowouts (ARI@ATL, MIA@MIN). The majority of quarterbacks delivered quiet performances. The expected high-scoring affair between the St...

For most fantasy football leagues, Week 15 marks the playoff semifinals. Yep, we're just one week away from the Super Bowl of fantasy. Did you make it this far? If you did, chances are you have a solid squad. If you didn't, pride is still worth fighting for! Yet, question marks remain on many a fantasy team, and they just keep emerging. James Conner did not practice on Wednesday and is questionabl...

Week 14 is all but done, and many fantasy players saw their hopes for a run in the playoffs come to an end. Odds are  they faced Derrick Henry , but the Titans runner wasn't the only player to shock the masses. In a rather surprising turn of events, the Saints' offense has utterly sputtered two weeks in a row. In fact, Drew Brees has only thrown two touchdowns in his last two games compared to eig...

Well, this is it. The regular fantasy football season is in the books. Now, we look ahead at the tournament — the battle for all the marbles. If you made it this far, congratulations! Yet, it isn't all good news. Many fantasy teams in the playoffs were, in some form or fashion, affected by the wave of devastating injuries that have been occurring. It started with an injury to Melvin Gordon and con...

Just like that, the last regular Sunday action of the fantasy season is in the books. There were  some unexpected results , but for the most part, fantasy players know where they stand. They're either in, or they're out (or they're clinging on by a thread, waiting for Monday Night Football!). The performances we saw on Sunday definitely played a part. Todd Gurley did Todd Gurley things, but Jared...

Week 13. It's the last regular season slate for many Fantasy players. Some are lucky enough to already have secured a playoff spot. Many others are hanging on by a thread. A win, a loss, a met-point-threshold — all are important this week. Luckily, Liz Loza and Dalton Del Don are letting us in on some playoff strategies to implement. Of course you're starting Patrick Mahomes and Todd Gurley, but w...

The Sunday action for Week 12 is in the can! This is it. Just one regular season week left for most fantasy leagues before the playoffs — are you ready? While some teams are in excellent position to dominate, others aren't. And those who have been led by Melvin Gordon now find themselves in a nightmarish situation. The Chargers were in the midst of a soon-to-be blowout victory over the Cardinals w...

Week 12's first slate of games begins on Thanksgiving. As such, it's only right that Liz Loza and Dalton Del Don take this podcast episode to discuss the fantasy players they're thankful for this year (not enough thanks to go around for Andrew Luck, TBH). But that's not all Liz and Dalton discuss in this early week episode. Of course, they have to dissect that game-changing Monday night matchup be...

The fantasy playoffs are getting closer and closer. The more the season nears its finish, the more things become clear — while other things just continue to get muddled. Like the Titans — what is happening? The Marcus Mariota-led offense showed us so much the past couple of weeks only to completely fall apart against the powerhouse Colts. Speaking of powerhouses, Drew Brees and the Saints have pus...

It's a matchup that fantasy gamers can only dream of. You've been waiting for it. I've been waiting for it. We all have. Finally, on Monday night in Week 11, we will get it. Rams versus Chiefs. Two of the three teams (Saints) that have pretty much  broken fantasy football  this season will face off. Most, if not all fantasy teams with playoff aspirations have multiple active assets in this game. P...

Scoring was in full effect in Week 10 yet surprisingly, the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led Bucs could muster only three points. Could the Tampa Bay coaching staff turn back to Jameis Winston? On the flip side, the Bears offense had no trouble on Sunday. The wide receiver duo of Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller showed out as Chicago continues to prove itself a force in the NFC. Our Yahoo fantasy experts dis...

Ah, Week 10. Just six (or seven, depending on your league) weeks left in the fantasy football season. Now is a time for reflection, to look back and...actually, scratch that. Now is the time to look forward, because the fantasy playoffs are just on the horizon! Now is the time to reevaluate your roster (what will Tyler Boyd be sans A.J. Green?), to make peace — or war — with injured stars (Dalvin...

Week 9's Sunday action has come and gone, and we officially have no more undefeated teams left in the league. Yes, the Los Angeles Rams finally fell, moving to 8-1 after a 45-35 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Alvin Kamara played a huge part in that victory, scoring three touchdowns before halftime. Remember when people were freaking out about Ingram cutting into Kamara's value? Well, if Week 9 is...

Week 9 is here, and with it, a familiar feeling of fatigue might be setting in. At this point in the season, most players have a clear (or at least, clearer) idea about where they stand. You're either sitting pretty, in the playoff hunt, or already thinking about next year. If you're out of the running, you might feel tempted to sit the next few weeks out. To just go through the motions. Maybe eve...

Week 8's Sunday action has come to a close, and (a bit unexpectedly) the Oakland Raiders showed life. After scoring 13 total points in crushing, back-to-back losses, Derek Carr and the offense scored 28 points. The defense couldn't stop Marlon Mack and the suddenly-juggernaut Colts though, but still, it begs the question: could the Raiders be a more viable fantasy resource sans Amari Cooper? Our e...

Week 8 is here! On this week’s episode, our experts break down all the happenings leading up to kickoff, including Todd Gurley's continued dominance over...well...everyone (he's outscoring entire teams, ENTIRE TEAMS, GUYS). Also, a Raider became a Cowboy this week, when Oakland traded Amari Cooper to Dallas. Though the 'Boys definitely needed a wide receiver, should fantasy players even care about...

Week 7's Sunday action has come and gone, and with it so have some more running backs. Sony Michel's knee injury was a big lowlight of the day. Just as we've seen all season though, when someone goes down, someone else must step up. Our experts discuss the new outlook for James White, as well as some new faces at RB who have taken a spotlight this season (enter: Nick Chubb). Blake Bortles' benchin...

Week 7 is here! On this week’s episode, our experts break down all the happenings leading up to kickoff. These include the big news of  Devonta Freeman being placed on IR . Who owns the edge in the Atlanta backfield now: known-commodity Tevin Coleman, or new kid on the block Ito Smith? Our experts also delve into the dumpster fire known as the Titans offense, where everyone from Marcus Mariota to...

Many people predicted what Brock Osweiler would do against the Bears. Those three interceptions and two lost fumbles were...oh wait. No, no, Osweiler decided to cover for an injured Tannehill and proceed to light up one of the best defenses in the NFL. Then Dak Prescott and the Cowboys followed Osweiler's lead by ripping the Jaguars defense to the tune of 40 points. That's Week 6 for you. Some thi...

Week 6 is here! On this week’s episode, our experts break down all the happenings leading up to kickoff, including  the Alvin Kamara situation  after Mark Ingram's return brought his fantasy train to a screeching stop. Our experts also delve into stars like Kamara who might have fantasy owners worried. Later, they’ll help you deal with some of the potentially bad fantasy decisions that players hav...

There were some very big matchups on tap in Week 5 — ones that would answer some equally big questions. Would Patrick Mahomes throw his first interception against the Jaguars? How would the Steelers-Falcons slugfest end? Could Aaron Rodgers return to form in a divisional matchup with Detroit? Scott Pianowski and  Matt Harmon  break down those games and more in this week's podcast episode. They als...

If you had the chance to start your fantasy football season from scratch — to draft once again — who would you take in the first round? How would a fantasy draft end up looking today? Are you still going with  Todd Gurley  at number one overall? Does Patrick Mahomes belong anywhere close to the first round? Since we've gone a quarter-way through the NFL season and about a third of the way through...

Much was made of the apparent demise of Tom Brady and Andrew Luck and Mitchell Trubisky (was he ever alive?), but Week 4 proved that perhaps those assumptions were ill-advised. Luck put up a performance that silenced his critics (at least for the week) and Brady returned home to utterly dominate the division-leading Miami Dolphins. Yet those performances paled in comparison to what Trubisky did to...
