Some leagues don’t have enough roster spots to necessarily take advantage of “planning ahead,” but for those in leagues that do (or if you have players on IR or useless players you want to cut), our week-ahead watchlist will be helpful every week. Grabbing a player or two before the weekend when they’re still free agents can pay off big time if those players have good games. Your spot in the waiver order is valuable, and you want to save it as long as possible....

Perhaps just as important q43 all the potential TE and D/ST streamers on our full free agent list. It’s all about winning this week for a bunch of teams, so swing for the fences with high-upside plays instead of playing your “usual defense” in a brutal matchup (and there are several examples of those this week). You can find plenty of good streamers at both key positions, and there’s even a QB and a bunch of potential WR3s (particularly in PPR leagues)....

In addition to several intriguing QBs, RBs and WRs, our full free agent list is also loaded with potential tight end and defense streamers. Unless you own Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, or a couple other consistent TEs, you should always be looking at the matchups. The same is true for just about every D/ST, including the Bears, who face the Rams this week. You can find the potential streaming options for these positions at the end of the list....

Our sleeper picks came up big last week, as Jared Goff was the No. 1 QB, Arizona was the No. 2 D/ST, and Damien Williams, Ted Ginn Jr, Sammy Watkins, and Washington D/ST all scored double-digit points (Jeremy Maclin was just 0.2 points away too). This week, we like the players below to come through for your fantasy squad. To see our Week 10 bust picks, click here ....

C.J. Beathard (knee) was the latest QB to go down last week, and Jimmy Garoppolo (@ Bears) is suddenly an intriguing streamer pick. Jameis Winston (shoulder) is close to returning, and he gets a nice matchup against the Packers, but we’re leaving Ryan Fitzpatrick in for now. In addition, Jay Cutler (concussion) may return, and it’s up in the air in Denver, with Paxton Lynch (ankle), Trevor Siemian and maybe even Brock Osweiler all viable candidates to start in a favorable matchup against the Dolphins....

Last week, we hit on all of our sleeper quarterbacks (Blake Bortles, Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Foles) while while also calling the Buffalo D/ST, Redskins D/ST, and Ben Watson. This week, Watson, Foles, and Bortles make the list again along with players like Jameis Winston, Ricky Seals-Jones, Tyrell Williams, and more. Go here for our Week 16 bust picks .

The real NFL results have 10 of 12 playoff teams already determined. Four of those teams — the Cowboys, Giants, Steelers and Texans — are locked into their current seeds. That presents a more interesting challenge, and one that’s more intriguing than usual in DFS.

Our rankings (for season-long owners) and daily fantasy football picks (for DFS players) are good places to start if you have questions, but obviously when it comes to injuries you can never truly feel sure until kickoff – and even then you don’t exactly know what’s going to happen. We’re here to help with the latest news on the players mentioned above and more. WEEK 9 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

Or maybe you should. Whatever. It doesn’t really matter. We’re talking about kicker, after all. It’s likely most of you didn’t even realize Joseph was one of the top players at the position, so it’s safe to assume we put more thought into this than you do. (Don’t feel bad – it is our job.) WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST...

Of course, we must always take into consideration bye weeks and injuries. With the Cardinals and Panthers off this week, owners will be without Arizona’s James Conner and Carolina’s D’Onta Foreman, and with injuries mounting, many could be scrambling to replace the likes of Travis Etienne Jr. (foot), Michael Carter (ankle), Najee Harris (abdomen), and New England’s Damien Harris (thigh). All exited last week’s games early, and with Leonard Fournette (hip), Raheem Mostert (knee), and Joe Mixon (concussion) not even suiting up, fantasy owners will have to monitor a lot of injury reports this week....

You don’t need us to lead you to the top 12 backs — high-usage studs like Christian McCaffrey (@ Raiders in Week 17), Saquon Barkley (vs. Colts), Dalvin Cook (@ Packers), and even Rhamondre Stevenson (vs. Dolphins) remain lineup locks. Sure, ‘Mondre has endured some late-season fumble-itis and Damien Harris (hip) could return this week, but he’s still among the cream of the crop talent-wise and ranks in the top three among RBs in targets....
