Nine weeks down, nine to go! The season is absolutely flying by, and I hope that 9 weeks from now, you’re all hoisting trophies as the champion of your leagues. We’ve still got work to do though, and no matter your record, you always need to keep an eye on the waiver wire. Week 10 sees four teams on a bye, including the Bears, Bengals, Giants, and Texans. If you’re looking to replace Roquan Smith, Jessie Bates, Leonard Williams, or some Texan (Kamu Grugier-Hill? Jonathan Greenard?) then I’m here to help. Let take a look at some worthy pickups this week.

Air Yards Report, Week 9: What Can Brown Do For You?
November 11, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Football, Air Yards Report | 4 Commentsby: CableBoxScore
Air Yards are the Gordon Ramsey of fantasy receiving stats. They tell us exactly what was right and clearly what was wrong with how a receiver performed in a given week. Often, it’s not easy to hear. But you as a fantasy manager need to pay attention to the under-the-hood numbers from your receivers instead of just blindly trusting the box score results, you donkey.
Each week, this column will dissect air yards for actionable info in the weeks to come. For Week 10, we will do a quick analysis of the list of the 61 wide receivers who finished last week with at least 30 air yards.

Fantasy Football Primer: Week 10
November 11, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 12 Commentsby: everywhereblair
Finally, we’ve made it a metric week in your fantasy football season! Who has 1 kilowins so far? Or I suppose a deciwin? A microwin is all I can hope for…maybe read that sentence back again. Regardless of your system of measurement, we’re stuck in the trenches of fantasy football: the teams that can’t get out to see daylight, the teams that are awaiting reinforcements, the teams that decided to dig a new path forward to see if they can gain any ground on the opposition. And you wondered if sports had any relationship to the armed forces, didn’t ya? Let’s jump into the fray and see if we can’t get a megawin for your team this week.

Each week I’ll be spending countless hours flipping coins in order to determine an order for my weekly rankings which will be published bright and early each Wednesday morning. It’s an elaborate round-robin coinflipping system for each position. Wide receivers alone take me a full Monday worth of coin flips. And I’m currently in the process of filing for workers comp due to carpal tunnel. But it’s well worth it, knowing that you, the loyal Razzball reader, appreciate my pain and sweat. Just so you know you can trust me, here’s how my coin flipping system stacked up against all of the other 149 industry analysts competing against me in the 2020 Fantasy Pros Weekly Ranking Competition:
Anyway, here’s my week 10 rankings for half PPR 2021 fantasy football that will be frequently updated by coin flip up until kickoff:

Fantasy Football Target Report: Week 10
November 10, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 11 Commentsby: Nic Romero
Taking inventory of target share (TS) and snap share (SS) data is a critical tool to help with start-sit decisions, and provide a framework for buy-low/sell-high trade candidates. Every Wednesday the Target Report will highlight key TS/SS data and takeaways from the weekend. Keep in mind this is one data point to reference when making weekly lineup decisions. Utilizing all of Razzball’s tools will help complete the decisions making process each week.
Success in fantasy football is built around opportunity, especially consistent opportunity. Don’t get caught up only chasing fantasy points. Peyton Manning focused more on what happened between endzones versus what transpired on the scoreboard. It is important not to overreact to a poor fantasy outing when the usage is still there. Or overreact to a fantasy explosion for a player that barely found the field or was barely targeted in the game. Trust the data and trust the process…

Fantasy Football Takeaways from Aaron Rodgers’ COVID Revelation
November 10, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 1 Commentby: keelinbillue
Weeks 8 and 9 of the NFL season provided fantasy football managers with notable revelations regarding Aaron Rodgers and COVID:
- Green Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19.
- Rodgers did not receive the COVID vaccine.
How is Aaron Rodgers’ COVID status different from what we have learned about other unvaccinated players?
Although there are NFL players who have shared they are not vaccinated, Aaron Rodgers is a notable departure on how QBs have talked about vaccine status.Quarterbacks that have spoken openly about not having the vaccination, like Carson Wentz (33.9% rostered, 22.2% started in Week 8) and Kirk Cousins (83.7% rostered, 63.9% started in Week 8), are not rostered and started at the same rate as Rodgers. As the most prolific NFL player to share they are not vaccinated and also contract COVID since the vaccine has been available, Rodgers (99.8% rostered and 74.6% started in Week 8) mid-season news sent a shockwave through the fantasy community, especially those who had Rodgers on their

Tuesdays at Razzball Fantasy Football are going to be “lit,” as the kids say. Although I’m not sure if the kids put it in quotation marks, I’ll have to check in with VH1 on that. Regardless, we have the one and only The Joey Wright leading off every Tuesday morning with his in-depth waiver wire advice column. Then Blair (or JB!) spins his MNF narrative with an eloquent Monday Night Football recap and Paul Blake shares some deep league thoughts. Finally, I’ll bring it up the rear with my rest of season rankings broken down by position. Reminder, these rest of season rankings are only a very rough guideline to be used for trade formulation and other roster decisions. These are geared toward half PPR formats and should be adjusted accordingly for your particular league settings. Anyway, here’s the updated positional rankings for the rest of the half PPR 2021 fantasy football season:

Dynasty League Fantasy Football Wavier Wire Adds, Week 10
November 9, 2021 | Dynasty Leagues | 7 Commentsby: Paul Blake
Last week’s waiver wire offered a cornucopia of claims to eat up. Unfortunately, this week’s waiver wire is less fruitful. However, I have found what might be a few treats at Runningback, a starchy Quarterback, and some high-calorie Wide Receivers. The pickings may be meager, but they offer solid sustenance. Dig in!

November 9, 2021 | Fantasy Football Podcast |by: B_Don
As we move from the half way mark of the season, B_Don has another guest, Steve Paulo, on to discuss week 9. We start with the Arizona Cardinals offense as we wait for word on Kyler Murray and with Chase Edmonds set to miss a few weeks. Next, the 2 talk about a couple of top RBs for the ROS in Joe Mixon and Christian McCaffrey.
B_Don moves the topic to Steve’s favorite team, the 49ers, as he asks about Brandon Aiyuk, and the 49ers RB situation between Elijah Mitchell and Jeff Wilson. One of the teams that can give both Bears and 49ers fans hope, is the Jets. They have a QB controversy and Elijah Moore may be developing in front of our eyes. We compare Elijah to other WRs for redraft and dynasty. We wrap up with everyone’s favorite segment, A$$hole of the Week!

November 9, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Football | 6 Commentsby: everywhereblair
Before the musician Sting spent his free-time digging Bart Simpson out of a well and having tantric Tex Mex — which from what I understand is when you start eating at a buffet and they don’t give you a time limit — he wrote a little ditty called Fields of Gold. Ostensibly it was a song of maturation and memory, but I prefer an alternate history: he was preparing the theme song for Justin Fields. Imagine sampling Fields of Gold like P.Diddy did Every Breath You Take, and then letting Donkey Teeth rap over that while you watch Justin Fields highlights. Now that’s a Monday Night! Let’s see what happened on Monday Night Football:

Wright on Waivers: Week Ten
November 9, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy, Waiver Wire | 42 Commentsby: thejoeywright
One of my favorite movie theater experiences came during my freshman year in college at my local art house cinema. I had never seen a David Lynch film before but heard good things about him. All I really knew is he made Twin Peaks, a tv show with the most nightmare inducing theme song. In hindsight, maybe Mulholland Dr. was not the best foray into his catalog. While it is now one of my favorite films, I left the theater confused and doubting my own intelligence. I went back the next night and it started to become clearer. It was the first movie where the audience stayed around after and discussed “what it all meant.” Sometimes NFL weeks can feel a mess and make absolutely no sense. They hit you like a ton of bricks and require more than the usual analysis. This past week felt like one of those weeks, but through the madness and riddles, a few bright lights shone through all the way to the waiver wire.
