Welcome to Week 7 of Angles & Leverage! Two more teams are on bye this week, and they are teams that NEED it in the worst way: the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills. Still, that leaves us with 15 games, one of which has already been played. If the Steelers/Bengals game was any indication of

It can also fly when you're having whatever this fantasy season is. We've got guys returning to lineups, we've got guys missing from lineups, and

The waiver wire is typically empty in these deeper leagues, making trading your only avenue for change. But trading is hard! Trading involves

It's Week 6, and there are only two teams on bye: the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings. Enough time has gone by this season that we're starting to know what these teams are in 2025. Like the Colts, it's much more than a hot start at this point; they're AFC contenders. There's a lot of
