We've got a veritable harvest of bountiful waiver wire options for you this week. With the bye weeks here – not on the way, they're here – it means a lot more players are rosterable. We've got quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers galore! There are tight ends and kickers and yes, even more. Ok,

I am back for another week of Unpacking the NFL. If you are new here, I will be posting a stat/takeaway dump every Monday, unpacking different players and situations around the league.

Experts also have substantial differences in how they view player values compared to the consensus ranks. It's all a gamble in the end. Here at Optimus Fantasy, we want you to feel confident about

We've already seen a lot of Week 1 narratives die a grisly death as Week 2 draws to a close. Justin Fields is a matchup-proof QB1, the Lions' offense is in trouble, Daniel Jones and the Colts aren't for real, just to name a few. I will remind you again, however, the best predictor of
