If you’re playing in a playoff daily fantasy football contest on FanDuel this week, you’re going to need a kicker, so we went ahead and ranked them for you, taking into account matchups, weather (only one indoor game), and values. Wild-card fantasy football rankings:Quarterbacks | Running backs | Wide receivers | Tight ends | Defenses Fantasy football playoff rankings, Kickers Cairo Santos, Chiefs at Texans Steven Hauschka, Seahawks at Vikings...

Anyone who’s ever played fantasy before knows any approach can (and will) miss, but this year’s wide receiver rankings certainly look more loaded than ever. From the top picks to the rookie and second-year sleepers, there is no shortage of options. 2016 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Of course, sometimes the glut of choices can feel overwhelming. In an effort to maximize value during the draft, some owners will wait on receiver, thinking “Well, there’s no real difference between No....

Ertz, our No. 12 tight end for 2014, lasted all the way until the 10th round (No. 116 overall) of our latest experts’ mock draft when I finally picked him up as Rob Gronkowski insurance. That could prove to be a steal for someone who has a legitimate shot at leading the Eagles in receiving touchdowns. MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL: TE draft strategy | Top 50 rankings | Mock draft...

There are only two teams, Minnesota and Tampa Bay, on byes, and those two teams have limited fantasy options, anyway. As for your actual, many options this week, here’s help on the toughest lineup decisions beyond the obvious and easy plays and not plays: WEEK 6 RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Defense | Kicker Follow us at @SN_Fantasy for updates, and check out our Facebook Live show starting at 11 am ET on Sunday for your chance to ask lineup questions!...

We’ve discussed the importance of planning your trades around bye weeks before, but it’s even more important at this point in the season. With six teams on bye this week (Browns, Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers, Broncos, Giants), half of the league will have taken its mandatory PTO by Week 10. (The Lions, Texans, Raiders, Titans, Eagles, Rams, Bills, Vikings, Chiefs, and Chargers have also had their byes.) That creates a major market inefficiency for their players....

Neither Cassel nor Flynn is a good fantasy option this week. While both have shown flashes in the past, they’re far removed from them. Check your wires to see if Ryan Tannehill, Jake Locker or Geno Smith are available before going with either. But if pressed to select one, Cassel is the slightly better option. At the very least, he has weapons with Adrian Peterson, Greg Jennings, Kyle Rudolph and Cordarelle Patterson....

Spending a high pick on a defender can be risky, especially in fantasy Premier League, where the pace of play and the high demand of tackling means that it is difficult to tell an average defender from an elite one, Also, the dropoff with defenders versus what you might get from picking an electric midfielder or forward is potentially steep. But you have to have defenders, and there are an elite few who can turn your matchup on their own....

Not surprisingly, the early storylines revolve around injuries and rotations. Some of the best RBs in football — Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and JK Dobbins — are coming off huge injuries. Saquon Barkley, Dalvin Cook, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Nick Chubb, and Kareem Hunt have all spent considerable time on the injury reports over the past year. Najee Harris has revealed his training camp injury was actually a sprained Lisfranc in his foot....

Of course, the top tier remains indisputable. Saquon Barkley (vs. Texans in Week 10), Christian McCaffrey (vs. Chargers), Nick Chubb (@ Dolphins), Derrick Henry (vs. Broncos), and Austin Ekeler (@ 49ers) will always be lineup locks, regardless of matchup or format. If he returns from his ankle injury, Jonathan Taylor (@ Raiders) has a great matchup with a Vegas squad that entered Week 9 allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to RBs....

By no means are they automatic answers when people ask “Who should I start?”, but they are on the flex/WR3 radars. Both are ticketed for more playing time because of injuries, and both have shown the potential to put up nice numbers. The “next man up” theory applies in fantasy football, too (sort of). If you have a struggling player or a player with a bad matchup, you have to look to your bench or the waiver wire to find a viable replacement who can get you more points....

Who’s Not: Carlos Ruiz predictably regressed after the best season of his career in 2012. It’s unlikely he’ll come close to those numbers again. … Is age catching up to Jimmy Rollins? The 35-year-old shortstop saw his power drop from 23 homers in ‘12 to just six last year despite playing in 160 games. Who’s Hurt: Ryan Howard played 80 games in 2013 before undergoing knee surgery. He appears to be healthy, but at age 34 and having played just 151 games combined the last two years, fantasy owners should not bank on a full campaign from him....

Let’s take a look at the injuries to key fantasy football players in Week 2, along with their timetables and potential replacements. MORE: Best waiver-wire pickups | Sporting News Fantasy Tony Romo injury update Cowboys QB Tony Romo left Sunday’s game against the Eagles with a broken left collarbone and the early reports are that he will miss eight weeks. Romo also broke his left collarbone in Week 7 of 2010 and missed the remainder of that season, so fantasy football owners can expect to be without Romo for 8-10 weeks....
