If you want to have long-term success in fantasy football, you need to work the wire. Here's a look at the top waiver wire adds of the week ... Quarterbacks John Wolford, Wake Forrest -- % Owned: 15% Stop, I know how absurd this sounds. I am fully aware that this is the same John Wolford who threw nine touchdowns and 10 picks a season ago. However, he's also the same John Wolford that has thrown for 947 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing for 332 yards and four touchdowns this season. This week's game against…

This week we’ll take a look at some potential fantasy busts in the upcoming NBA season. Some of these guys are still worth drafting, but won’t meet the expectations that have been set for them. Generally speaking, I’d avoid taking these guys unless they really plummet on draft day. Whether it’s because of injuries, a new role on a new team, or guys being taken on name recognition, there’s plenty of reason to avoid all five of these guys. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. The First Fantasy…

Finally, some normality. The guys that are supposed to be good at this football thing were actually good at it this week. Le'Veon Bell lashed the Ravens, the Broncos' defense stomped some mudholes, and Todd Gurley just kept right on doing his thing. That's how Week 4 is supposed to be, and after so many tight and exciting games, there's plenty to recap. Here's everything you need to know: Thumbs Up It's nice of Bilal Powell to finally show up. Would you believe the Jets are 2-2? Most of this is thanks to Powell's…

We’re back with our wide receiver matchups this week after a subpar week last week. That’s fantasy football, though. Sometimes you make the decisions with the best thought process behind it, but it still doesn’t go your way. This week, we revisit a few familiar names and secondaries. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Sammy Watkins @ Dallas Cowboys After a fantastic performance against the 49ers last week, Sammy Watkins is on track to do it again this Sunday. Last…

Many former top prospects are helping the Los Angeles Dodgers compete for a championship in 2017. At 102-57, they own the best record in baseball and will be a force to be reckoned with heading into the playoffs. Despite their incredible amount of talent in the Majors currently, the Dodgers still have even more talent in their system. With the Minor League seasons already in the books, here's a look at how the top Dodgers prospects did in 2017. 10. Jordan Sheffield, RHP Age: 22 Draft: 2016, CBA(36) - LA 2017…

Have yourself a game, Mr. Watson. While I was watching the rookie out of Clemson break dozens of tackles while torching the Patriots defense, one thought came to my mind: “We have a future elite fantasy quarterback on our hands.” Watson proved that he’s not going to be like most dual-threat QBs before him and flame out rather quickly into the world of being a backup. This kid is here to stay, and we all need to start taking notice in fantasy. Oh yeah, he has a favorable matchup this week, too. 2017 NFL Team Passing…

WEEK 6: Fantasy EPL REVIEW This was a weekend in which all top six teams all won. Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal cruised to victories. City is simply destroying opponents at the moment. Sane, Sterling and Aguero were the ones who profited the most this time around. Chelsea is not less impressive, with Morata recording his first EPL hat-trick and proving to be everything Conte wanted and more. Another newcomer, Alexandre Lacazette, led Arsenal with two goals, which took care of WBA on Monday. The Spurs dominated…

What will happen in Week 4? It was another strong week for the running back position in Week 3. Once again, there were 21 running backs who scored at least 10 fantasy points in standard scoring. Four of the top seven running backs in Week 2 (Todd Gurley, Kareem Hunt, Chris Thompson, and Devonta Freeman) repeated the feat in Week 3. Hunt and Gurley are the only backs to be an RB1 in each of the first three weeks of the 2017 season. Le’Veon Bell, Ezekiel Elliott, and Jordan Howard showed that rumors of their demises have been…

Player Rater Report Each week this season, I have looked at ESPN’s Player Rater for the past 15 days to identify players surprisingly performing above expectations and to analyze the reasons for and sustainability of their overperformance. With the season all but complete, and nine of the ten postseason spots locked down, this presents a good opportunity to look back at the league’s top players this year as a whole. As for the predictive value of this exercise, it is worth noting that the position most accurately…

Week 4 Back in January, I viewed Week 4 as the Milhouse section of the schedule. It seemed like a dud, with very few upset chances and 16 very predictable outcomes. After last weekend, though, *insert fart noise* who even knows anymore. To wrap up September, here are some more weekly rankings. As always, these have your standard PPR league formats in mind.
