I honestly cannot believe Week 9 is over. We are officially halfway through the regular season, folks. It feels like it has flown by. For most leagues, the fantasy playoffs start in just five short weeks. Some of you may be looking ahead to the playoffs, while others are just trying their best not to

Welcome to Week 8 of Angles & Leverage!

Oh boy, the times, they are a-changin'! In Week 7 we saw not one but two QBs benched midgame, we saw two more leave with injuries, and those are just the tip of the iceberg. We saw multiple rookies explode in expanded roles. And we saw offensive futility like we almost never have before. That

Each fantasy football season brings its own version of delicious chaos, but there are a few things we can all cling to as usual. Spooky season is always extra scary for fantasy footballers, with injuries and byes galore. The universal derision for Chris Collinsworth is another unifying force, a rite of each football season.

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
