The tight-end position is one of the trickiest to navigate, especially in dynasty fantasy football formats. It's small and top-heavy. Much of the scoring is volatile and influenced by touchdowns. The cream of the crop, however, can excel with or without touchdowns. A group of young tight ends, led by Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and […]

Sam Darnold's resurgent 2024 season grabbed the eyes of quarterback-needy general managers across the NFL. His disastrous end to the campaign caused trepidation. Darnold, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson are the biggest dominoes on the free-agent market. Justin Fields and Daniel Jones could also be signed with a starting position in mind. With a below-average […]

Ah, the backup running backs. Fantasy football managers hold them all season in the hopes that, for at least one week, they have a fantasy starter. Not all backup running backs are created equal. The top-end runners technically don't start but see an equal share of touches. There are the high-value handcuffs, the running backs […]

Some of the NFL's best athletes and fantasy superstars endure below-average seasons. Like a roller coaster, there are ups and downs in NFL careers. Before you know it, they're back at the top. Josh Jacobs, Drake London, and Ja'Marr Chase appeared in this article last offseason (as did a certain quarterback that we're rolling the […]

Are you looking to take part in a start-up Superflex dynasty fantasy football league? Know that quarterbacks are kings but those early selections push the best running backs and receivers down the board, allowing a wide variety of drafting strategies. Today, we're going to do a two-round mock draft. It's a 12-team, full PPR, Superflex, […]

We've never seen a college football player like Travis Hunter, which is both a blessing and a curse for fantasy football. Sure, players like Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson excelled on both sides of the football. Neither caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns while logging four interceptions. Hunter will hear his name […]

A 2024 season full of rookie breakouts spoiled the fantasy community. Brian Thomas Jr. (WR4), Malik Nabers (WR6), Ladd McConkey (WR12), Brock Bowers (TE1), Jayden Daniels (QB5), and Bucky Irving (RB13) excelled in their first professional seasons. That made it even more of a bummer when other big-name rookies and first-round picks didn't burst onto […]

When players hit the open market, it is simultaneously exciting and terrifying for dynasty fantasy football managers. A change of scenery can contribute to a breakout season (see Sam Darnold and Jonnu Smith). It can also flatten the stock of long-time roster pieces (Devin Singletary and Kirk Cousins). Below, we examine five players from the […]

First-round pick, second-round pick, third-round pick, or lower, fantasy managers struggled to dodge wide receiver busts. Whether due to the re-emergence of running backs, injuries to their quarterback, or other factors, high-profile names disappointed in 2024. From the writer who brought you weekly bust columns for the last two seasons, it's only right for me […]

We saw plenty of fresh faces in the NFL in 2024! The draft class was greatly hyped up, especially on offense. Let's be honest, embracing the unknown in fantasy can be a fascinating endeavor! We (the fantasy community) tend to overhype rookies. We don't want to miss out on the next generational talent. But for […]

The casual fantasy football managers draft a team and ride it out, hoping their selections push them into the playoffs. The savvy fantasy managers utilized the waiver wire to make a good team great. Every year, undrafted players go on to be fantasy football darlings. This season was no exception. Below is the All-Waiver Wire […]

Whether they showed potential before or the stars aligned to give them an opportunity, these running backs became fantasy football darlings in 2024. Chase Brown, Chuba Hubbard, Bucky Irving, and Rico Dowdle saw a significant increase in production, despite obstacles that stood in their way. Fantasy managers who had one (or more) of the quartet […]

Is Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels the better prospect? What about Drake Maye? The answer seemed obvious last April. It's not so clear now. With a year of NFL tape, franchises alter how they view rookies. Would management make the same selections or jump at the chance to snag a different prospect? Below, I redraft […]

A 3-14 record (and the benefit of tiebreakers) put the Tennessee Titans on the clock for the 2025 NFL Draft. Inconsistent (to put it politely) quarterback play led to a pile of losses in Nashville. Between Will Levis, Marcus Mariota, Vince Young, and more, Ryan Tannehill has the most successful stretch in Tennessee since Steve […]

A great quarterback leads to wins. A mediocre quarterback puts a team at the top of the draft order, or worse, purgatory. That's why teams will gamble on quarterbacks with question marks in the NFL Draft. Fixing accuracy or turnover issues can vault a franchise into a contender. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe enters the 2025 […]
