It's about that time in the offseason when we all make outlandish statements that we'll brag about if they come true. Football is an unpredictable game. More often than not, a division bottom-dweller adds a division title to their franchise history the very next year. Players come out of nowhere to become fantasy football league […]

Best Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Stacks for 2025: 4 WR Tandems to Target

Long before she was the biggest pop star in the world and Travis Kelce's girlfriend, a young Taylor Swift, with the help of pop-punk band Boys Like Girls, had a simple message for us: Two is better than one. The release of that track coincided with Randy Moss and Wes Welker dominating in New England […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Draft Sleepers: Undervalued WR3s to Target in 2025

The ones are gone, the twos are off the board, and now the wide receiver board is looking thin. Don't fret, fantasy football managers. There's still talent to be tapped out of the WR3s.

Dynasty TE1 Candidates: 3 Tight Ends Who Could Dethrone Brock Bowers in Fantasy Football (2025)

One offseason ago, Sam LaPorta was widely viewed as the TE1 for dynasty fantasy football leagues (He's going to be on my roster until he retires!). That didn't last long.

Fantasy Football Second-Year Risers and Breakout Candidates: 4 Sophomores to Target and Draft in 2025

If at first you don't succeed, there's always Year 2. If you don't succeed in Year 2, well, the NFL may not be for you. In the early 2000s, a breakout in the third year was the target for young players, especially wide receivers. It's not the case anymore. If players don't break out by […]

The Phoenix Suns have acquired center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets, according to Shams Charania.

Suns Land Khaman Maluach in NBA Draft

The Phoenix Suns drafted center Khaman Maluach with the 10th selection in the 2025 NBA Draft. Technically, the Duke center was selected by the Houston Rockets.

Collin Murray-Boyles Drafted by Toronto

The Toronto Raptors selected forward Collin Murray-Boyles with the ninth pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Murray-Boyles can almost do it all: He has a strong basketball IQ, tenacious defensive attributes, and is a bully when finishing in the paint. However, he's a tweener (6'6") and shot just 23.1 percent from three in his two […]

Brooklyn Selects Egor Demin Eighth Overall

The Brooklyn Nets drafted guard Egor Demin with the eighth selection in the 2025 NBA Draft. Many mock drafts had Demin outside of the lottery, but there were rumors the BYU product was rising late in the pre-draft process.

New Orleans Brings Jeremiah Fears to the Big Easy

The New Orleans Pelicans drafted guard Jeremiah Fears with the seventh overall selection in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Tre Johnson Headed to Washington

The Washington Wizards selected guard Tre Johnson with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Some pundits view him as the […]

Ace Bailey Lands With the Jazz

The Utah Jazz selected forward Ace Bailey with the fifth overall selection of the 2025 NBA Draft.

Hornets Opt for Shooting, Select Kon Knueppel Fourth Overall

The Charlotte Hornets selected Duke wing Kon Knueppel with the fourth pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

76ers Grab Guard VJ Edgecombe in the First Round

The Philadelphia 76ers selected guard VJ Edgecombe with the third pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. A playoff team two seasons ago, the injury bug plagued the 76ers in the 2024-25 season, which put them in the position to draft a top prospect. Edgecombe, a guard from Baylor, fits seamlessly with the current roster. Tyrese […]

Spurs Spend Second Overall Pick on Guard Dylan Harper

The San Antonio Spurs selected guard Dylan Harper with the second overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The Mavericks view the 18-year-old […]

Running Back Committees to Target in Fantasy Football (2025)

It's one of the worst phrases in the fantasy football world: Running back committee. Head coaches laugh in the face of fantasy managers and utilize multiple runners to keep their backs fresh to win football games. But as much as it hurts in the moment, history has proved they're correct. Running backs who carry the […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs in the Best Situations: 3 RB Breakouts to Draft (2025)

A deep and talented running back class may not be as fruitful as we'd once hoped, at least in Year 1. While Omarion Hampton, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kaleb Johnson are projected to take control of their respective depth charts eventually, proven veterans stand in their way of securing full-time roles in their rookie campaigns. Najee […]

4 Fantasy Football Quarterback Sleepers: Late-Round Draft Targets and Breakout Candidates (2025)

Quarterbacks who rack up rushing yards have a built-in advantage over their pocket-passing counterparts.

That group was responsible for four of the […]

A breakthrough rookie and one of the most unique prospects in NFL history are forming a top-10 wide receiver duo in the NFL.

Nobody is outshining Hunter as […]

3 Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs Sleepers - Jarquez Hunter, Dylan Sampson, Trevor Etienne

There's (almost) always one. From Bucky Irving to Chase Brown to Kyren Williams to Rhamondre Stevenson to Tony Pollard (we can go back further if you like), at least one Day 3 running back becomes a fantasy football asset (2020 being the lone exception in recent history). The dopamine hit when fantasy managers strike gold […]

5 Fantasy Football Backup Running Backs To Target

Being a backup quarterback may be the best job in the NFL. The fans love them and call their name when the starter struggles. They don't take devastating sacks from fearsome edge rushers. The backup running back is fantasy football's equivalent. Managers stash several players, waiting and hoping for the golden opportunity for the backup […]
