About Scott Atkins

Motto: How are YOU treating life? I'm pretty chill with a wife (Erin), 2 boys Simon (now 20) & Elston (18), 2 dogs, sisters (Sophie & Agatha) and 3 cats (Willow, Albert & Griff). As VP at Sports Illustrated, I helped build out SI Fantasy /Gambling and returned to rebuild FullTime Fantasy to continue hosting the Fantasy Football World Championships. Previously I had founded the Fantasy Players Association, an industry watchdog group dedicated to trabsparenct and player advocacy. I regularly appear on ESPN Radio, SiriusXM and FNTSY. I contribute sports handicapping, dynasty rankings and NFL/NBA DFS advice and strategy on the FullTime Discord. I have several 5 figure finishes including winning a DraftKings Atlantis qualifier (valued at over $70,000) and multiple $30,000+ finishes in NFL and NBA. A long-time high-stakes competitor and ranked #50 in the Fantasy Football World Rankings, I understand and teach bankroll management. You may remember me from the Red vs Blue high stakes fantasy Podcast. I was also featured as a Dynasty "Greats of the Game" by DLF and FBG. I've played high stakes since it's inception and have enjoyed Top 10 finishes in both NFFC and FFPC as well as an RTSports Overall Championship. link: https://dynastyleaguefootball.com/2015/05/06/greats-of-the-game-scott-atkins/ link: http://subscribers.footballguys.com/2012/12interview_scottatkins.php

Week 8 Waiver Wire & FAAB: Coleman, Cooper and the Deep-League Edge

October 27, 2026 Scott Atkins

Week 8 waiver wire and FAAB targets for 16-round home leagues and 20-round FFWC/NFFC formats. Scott Atkins weighs Coleman, Cooper and deep snap-count stashes.

SEASON LONG MEMBER REPORT

The same Week 8 wire looks nothing alike in a 16-round league and a 20-round FFWC room.

Jonah Coleman’s first game back changed Denver’s backfield. Omar Cooper Jr. is playing ahead of Adonai Mitchell. But if both are already rostered in your high-stakes league, the useful question is who comes next—and what they are worth on a $1,000 annual FAAB budget.

Scott’s full report has specific bids for the home-league headliners, lower-cost 20-round stashes, bye-week traps, and a snap-count check that could save you from a bad claim.
