Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups | RBs
*Rostership percentages courtesy of FantasyPros waiver wire rankings
Tyrone Tracy (NYG) | 44.9%
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy has shown us who he is two weeks in a row. We should probably believe him. Over that two-game span, he is the overall point-per-reception (PPR) RB3 in fantasy football.
Tracy has benefited from an injury to veteran RB Devin Singletary, who missed the previous two games. However, Tracy, unlike Singletary, has a 100-yard rushing outing and has earned 15 or more carries in both contests. This is a rare opportunity to get a potential league winner midway through the fantasy football season.
Isaac Guerendo (SF) | 2.5%
The RB carousel keeps on turning in San Francisco. With fellow ball carrier Jordan Mason out (AC Joint), rookie Isaac Guerendo stepped in admirably. The freshman RB carried the ball 10 times for 99 yards.
While Guerendo was aided by a monster 76-yard run late in the game, we all know how the Shanahan system works regarding RBs. Gurendo is a one-cut-and-go type of runner, which is what the 49ers scheme for on offense. Guerendo will be a viable flex play in fantasy football if Mason is sidelined.
Kimani Vidal (LAC) | 6.7%
Why yes, I AM excited rookie RB Kimani Vidal finally got a chance to shine, and did he ever. While his four carries for 11 yards aren’t anything to write home about, he caught a beautiful 38-yard wheel route pass for a TD in the first quarter on Sunday.
Sure, it was one play in a 60-minute game. However, the Chargers offense has struggled to do much in the passing game, and Vidal showed he is reliable, even if it was just two catches. Vidal has as good of a chance as anyone on this roster to bust out behind veteran J.K. Dobbins, and his upside, if he breaks out, is undeniable, especially in PPR formats.
Sean Tucker (TB) | 1.0%
With veteran RB Rachaad White (foot) sidelined this past Sunday, the Tamba Bay rushing attack went crazy. Rookie Bucky Irving, as expected, put in a solid performance, with 86 rushing yards and a TD. However, no one saw fellow Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker coming,
In his second season out of Syracuse, Tucker logged an astounding 136 rushing yards on 14 carries and a rushing TD. But that wasn’t all. Tucker also hauled in all three targets for 56 yards and another TD. This could be a flash in the pan. However, with the team’s displeasure with White’s play, Tucker is worth a could-catch-lightning-in-a-bottle roster addition.
Tyler Allgeier (ATL) | 36.5%
Bijan Robinson be damned, Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier continues to hang on to fantasy football relevancy. This past week against Carolina, Allgeier finished as the PPR RB10, while Robinson slotted in as the PPR RB3.
Without a TD, Allgeier isn’t going to draw enough volume to be a top option in any scoring format. However, If Bijan gets hurt, Allgeier has an RB1 upside almost every week in the Atlanta offense. Allgeier isn’t someone you can rely on weekly as a boom play, but in a pinch, he’ll do as a flex option in most formats.

Winter is here, and with it, Week 15, where the fantasy landscape has officially frozen over, and every matchup feels like life-or-death.

You’ve made it. From the opening horn, all the way to now, you’ve survived. Through cunning, wit, guile, and luck, here you stand on the precipice of fantasy greatness. But the job is not done. These will be the biggest tests of the entire season. You will be tempted by false glory. You will be
One way for us to get ahead in dynasty leagues and pick up on some value is to “zoom out” and look at where teams are headed in 2026.

All rise! The Fantasy Court of Week 14 is officially in session, and this is no routine hearing. This is the final week before the fantasy playoffs, the do-or-die moment when every ranking dispute feels like a federal case and every lineup decision could send you to the promised land or straight into offseason purgatory.
Just when you thought the map was complete, another clue reveals itself. Sure, you’ve uncovered the right defenses to stash for the fantasy playoffs (if you haven’t, go check out Part 1), but every great treasure hunt has a second chamber, a hidden compartment, a final piece that pulls the whole plan together. And in
Every fantasy manager hits that point in the season where the stars are locked in, the trades are done, and all that’s left is uncovering the missing piece that completes the championship map. It’s the moment where managers start squinting at playoff schedules like they’re ancient documents, trying to decipher which defenses are about to
IT’S TIIIIIIIIIIIMEEEEEEEE Yes, it is December 1st, which in my book means it is now acceptable to play Christmas music. She has broken free, but maybe that’s not your speed. Perhaps the Dropkick Murphys sound more like your family at Christmas. Or maybe you’re like us and just want some dang fries. However, you aren’t
You hear it all the time, but it bears repeating – dynasty is a year-round fantasy football game. Every week, subtle changes in the dynasty market force managers to react. I’ve even written a few pieces on that happening! In fact, don’t look now, but we are almost done with 2025. The 2026 class is
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up and welcome to the Week 13 Spectacular! Thanksgiving is almost here, but before you get swept into a whirlwind of turkey, travel, and whatever emotional turbulence your family tradition guarantees, we’ve got one more “show” for you. Our writers have locked in their higher/lower picks for
Thanksgiving week is finally here, and while everyone else is arguing about who ruined the mashed potatoes or why the turkey is somehow both dry and undercooked, you’re focused on the only feast that really matters: the Week 13 waiver wire buffet. Playoff spots are tightening like your waistband after round three, and this is

As we approach the fantasy playoffs, the stakes are at an all-time high. Many matchups are “win and in” or “lose and go home.” If you are vying for your spot in the playoffs, our Optimus team is here to help you make some of those tough start/sit decisions. Buckle up, strap in, and get
For the dynasty folks out there, next year’s rookies are probably already on your mind. For those of us who are not as “dynasty-brained” (like myself), we take late-round rookie flyers in redraft leagues, hoping one of them pops. We are now 11 full weeks into the 2025 season, and our team wanted to suss
