Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Troy Franklin

Mock draft pundits don’t tell us which players are good. The league will do that for us. Oregon’s Troy Franklin was the poster child for that in the 2024 NFL Draft. Predicted by many to be a late first or early second-round pick, Franklin did not hear his name called on Day 1. Day 2... Read More

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Ladd McConkey

Ladd McConkey may share a surname with a pub owner in Ireland but you can wager the house that he’s far more athletic. The ex-Georgia Bulldog is also entering an ideal situation in Los Angeles.

Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, the widespread belief was that Jim Harbaugh would draft and reunite with his former Michigan running back Blake Corum.

2024 NFL Draft Predictions - Will The Vikings Trade Up For A QB?

In almost any other NFL Draft, Malik Nabers would be the betting favorite to be the first wide receiver selected.
