Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and the Bills-Chiefs rematch might overshadow NFL Week 6. But we already know to start the big names in that one. What about nagging fantasy football questions elsewhere? Like Taysom Hill? Or what to do with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle when their passes come from a 3rd-string rookie QB? Where does D.J. Moore belong in the Week 6 rankings with all the Carolina upheaval? We'll hit on all that and much more as we run through every game on the slate. Fantasy football ra...

Week 5 Fantasy Football Recap -- Taysom Hill ruled over Sunday's action. But what do we do with him in fantasy? We're also talking through big days for Austin Ekeler and Leonard Fournette, a monster game for Josh Allen and Gabe Davis, and whether Geno Smith has morphed into a stud.

Jalen Hurts looks really good this week ... assuming we can afford him. A couple of upside backfields with multiple price points might help. There are also a couple of target leaders at wideout coming in too cheap and a TE who's price just seems wrong.

Alvin Kamara says he's back. Should we trust him in our DK lineups this week? And what about the rest of the Saints? We get no Jameis Winston or Michael Thomas again, but we do get the league's worst pass defense so far this season in the Seahawks. Does that make Chris Olave a must? QB looks affordable, whether you go with Jared's top play or Matt's. And RB presents some intrigue ... including an approach we wouldn't normally consider.

There's more than 1 tandem backfield facing a great spot this week. That has us playing both Packers backs and both Patriots backs over some pretty big names at the position. We're not agreeing on all the backfield outlooks, though. Antonio Gibson and Tyler Allgeier present a couple of points of contention. On the way to breaking down every game in NFL Week 5, we're also stopping to evaluate trades and make some key start-sit decisions. DraftSharks.com Lineup Generator: https://www.draftsharks.c...

Jonathan Taylor might be hard to avoid in a positive matchup and with a price decrease on FanDuel this week. But there are attractive RB options down in the $6K range as well -- even if you might need to talk yourself into 1 of them. WR offers a bevy of options, with an expensive stalwart who appears ready to go underplayed in tournaments. And we need to figure out the expensive guys to know what else we can fit with Josh Allen ... or whether we need to look elsewhere at QB. QB ... 00:19 RB ... ...

Do we go cheap at QB this week or stick with the expensive studs? Do we pay down for all our RBs, or make room for Jonathan Taylor or Saquon Barkley? Do we fish for the wideouts with low floors but intriguing opportunity, or do we spread salary around and live in the midrange? And what's the plan at TE when Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Tyler Higbee are off the main slate, and Mark Andrews gets a tough matchup?

Week 4 starts with a question on Tua Tagovailoa's health for Thursday night and Jameis Winston's for Sunday morning in London. We're watching a couple of Saints WRs on that front as well, along with Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor and others. It seems like this might be a tough slate for fantasy football scoring, with most QBs either facing difficult matchups or difficult questions about their own performance. We'll look at who to start, who to sit and who to trade as we run through the fu...

Two lackluster performances have left fantasy football players wary of Joe Burrow. That just might mean opportunity if you're ready to pair him with under-owned Bengals pass-catchers. We've got some safe bets for touches -- Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Leonard Fournette -- atop the RB pile, but who else can work if we want to spend up elsewhere? WR might be the place to reach over expensive plays, and we've got some favorite alternatives. QB ... 00:18 RB ... 4:47 WR ... 14:20 TE ... 20:00 Defense ......

Cheap QBs abound at the top of our DK dollars-per-point projections this week. But there's only 1 that Jared and Matt feel comfortable playing. That savings will be important, because the pricing is getting tighter at other positions. Curtis Samuel's on the rise, but he might still be in range for our cash lineups. His team's high-upside matchup with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles presents options across formats. And do we NEED to get to a top-shelf TE to win a tournament? QB ... 00:20 RB ... 6:50 ...

Justin Herbert's ribs. Lamar Jackson's right arm. James Conner's ankle. There are some key injuries to monitor this week, but also some key matchups. Can the tough Bills D halt Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle after last week's explosion? Can Garrett Wilson build off his Week 2 breakthrough? Can Allen Robinson stay relevant? Can the Chicago Bears throw a pass? We have lots of questions to answer as we run through every game on the NFL Week 3 slate. Fantasy football rankings and too...

Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill went nuts Sunday. Kyler Murray salvaged his offense and his fantasy line. Nick Chubb and Aaron Jones saw the fantasy football fortune swing back their way. And Matt Ryan killed Jonathan Taylor.

Trey Lance doesn't sit nearly as high in our value rankings for FanDuel as DraftKings this week. That leaves a couple of QBs in the mid-$7K range as lineup starting points. And each comes with very different pass-catcher accompaniment. RB holds a key player that Jared and Matt don't totally agree on. But there's plenty the both like in the $6K range at WR and the high end of TE.

Does Week 2 Trey Lance win us cash games despite the struggles of rain-soaked Week 1 Lance? How heavily does Saquon Barkley weigh into this week's tournament results after his monster opener? Can we bet on Rams bounce backs vs. the Falcons ... or are their too many fantasy players already doing so? And just how cheap can we go for targets at WR and TE?

Saquon Barkley was a Week 1 monster. But is any other New York Giants player worth rostering? Was Clyde Edwards-Helaire's 2-TD opener a fluke or a signal of his upside? What happens to the Los Angeles Chargers with Keenan Allen out? What positive Week 1 storylines were hidden in the usage data, and which land mines should you avoid in Week 2 and beyond.

The $8K QBs look good across formats on FanDuel this week, but how do we fit them? Well, there's an array of possibilities at RB -- especially if you're not looking to play Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor or Christian McCaffrey. But the real value just might sit at WR this week.

Saquon Barkley has been a favorite around here throughout draft season, and he pops at the top of our Week 1 DK dollars per point projections . Who joins Barkley as top options at RB for cash, and do the picks differ to GPP lineups? Affordable WRs look easy to find on DK in Week 1.
