8 Fantasy Football Second-Year Breakouts: Sophomore Risers for 2026

Timing the breakouts of young players in the NFL for fantasy football is a good way to add value to your rosters in dynasty leagues. You should at least have your eyes on the right players for redraft for waiver wire pickups or to draft and stash on your bench. Eight sophomore players in the […]

Should I Draft Kaelon Black, Jonah Coleman, Nicholas Singleton? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Rookie RBs

Rookie running backs can come out of nowhere to have big first seasons in the league and establish themselves as quality multi-year starters, often smashing their ADPs in the process. We saw this with Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, though his second season was much rockier than his first. Running back, however, is […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs You Must Draft In 2026

Well, this is kind of awkward. The 2025 NFL Draft class was loaded to the brim with highly talented running backs. One prospect was seen as generational at his position, and there were a bunch of other running backs with excellent traits. That translated to quite a bit of on-the-field production. Were it not for […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets and Avoids: Top 4 RBs and WRs to Buy or Sell (2026)

While the values of many elite NFL players, and many of those who aren't quite as talented, remain relatively stable over multiple seasons, certain players show clear "buy" or "sell" signals in one season that should be enough to convince dynasty fantasy football managers to target them in trades or ship them off to other […]

10 Fantasy Football Bold Predictions: Early NFL Analysis (2026)

There's never a bad time to have a little bit of fun by making bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season. The next NFL Draft is on April 23, but we'll get to that when it's time. For now, we can focus on how we think rookies might do on whatever team they're drafted and […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings: Overvalued, Undervalued Players (2026)

In dynasty fantasy football startup drafts, one of the most important things you can do is identify players who are overvalued or undervalued and position yourself to pick the undervalued players while avoiding those who are valued too high. You can also gain an advantage by trading for or away from either type of player. […]

2026 Post-NFL Combine Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft: 12-Team, Superflex

The 2026 NFL Combine is firmly in the rear-view mirror, so why not break down dynasty fantasy football mock drafts with the results of the NFL's biggest athletic testing event in mind? It's important to note that athleticism isn't everything, as we know, and sometimes, combine results can be a bit deceptive. Players train extensively […]


Aaron Rodgers - Fantasy Football Rankings, QB Sleepers

Aaron Rodgers Top Landing Spots For Fantasy Football: 2026 NFL Free Agency Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has yet to sign with a team for the 2026 season. He was... fine for the Steelers in 2025, but hardly a difference-maker at the quarterback position. Despite his age, he's still a startable QB, and can be a decent bridge for a team that wants to stay competitive while […]

Jauan Jennings Top Landing Spots: 2026 NFL Free Agency Outlook

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings isn't a sure thing to be signed to a new contract by the team he's played for his entire career. He still has some juice left, though -- he's 28 years old, and he's never won with elite athleticism. Rather, his skill set is one that tends to […]

Four-Round Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft: Post-2026 NFL Combine

The 2026 NFL Combine is in the rearview mirror now. While it's not quite as useful at determining player talent as an entire college career's worth of film, it's useful in at least backing up their athleticism with some raw numbers. It's not easy to determine players' athletic measurables from just game tape. One problem […]

5 Backup Fantasy Football Wide Receivers To Buy In Dynasty Leagues (2026)

Backup wide receivers present some of the most intriguing value propositions in dynasty fantasy football. No team has its WR1 absolutely set in stone, and even for elite players who are considered the best at their positions, a shuffling of depth charts and target priority can always happen. The best example of this in 2025 […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets - RB/WR Buys for 2026

The 2025 NFL season is over, but dynasty fantasy football managers never sleep, or so the saying goes. While the NFL Scouting Combine is sure to draw plenty of eyes, it's also worth exploring veteran players whom you should invest in moving forward. There are plenty of reasons a player could see increased production that […]

2026 Rookie Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Four Rounds with Picks and Analysis (Single-QB/Superflex)

Mock drafts featuring selections for every pick in every round can help gauge where players are ranked and how they might be chosen in real dynasty fantasy football leagues. But you're never choosing all the players in the draft. So, it can be helpful to explore what might happen if you're at a certain pick […]

2026 Second-Year Fantasy Football Breakouts: Sophomores Who Could Shine In Year 2

The second year of a player's NFL career is the most likely season in which a player will break out. Even if they had a solid rookie season and showed promise, they often take big steps forward after they've had a season of experience under their belts. They learn a vast amount about how to […]

2026 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex, Tight End Premium, 12-Team Fantasy Football Rankings

Superflex tight end-premium is the most accepted format for competitive dynasty fantasy football leagues. And since the most competitive fantasy managers are the most likely to follow the sport year-round, and at all levels of football, it makes sense to look at mock drafts early. The Super Bowl just happened, but that's not stopping any […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: Superflex, Four-Round Mock (2026)

Super Bowl LX is over, and the Seattle Seahawks are the 2025-26 NFL champions! But we're fantasy managers, so we care less about that and more about how we can try to be fantasy champions in our leagues in the future. There's no better time to break down fantasy rankings in dynasty leagues than any […]

2026 Fantasy Football Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: 12-Team, Single-QB, PPR Mock

Dynasty fantasy football never sleeps. While fantasy managers who play only in redraft leagues likely won't be thinking much about their favorite pastime during the offseason, dynasty managers tend to stay informed throughout spring and summer. It's early, but it's never too early to break down hypothetical mock drafts for all manner of dynasty leagues. […]

2026 Fantasy Football Devy Rankings: January Updates

Fantasy football Devy leagues are yet another way that fantasy managers can enjoy the most popular fantasy sport in the world. Devy leagues differ from all other NFL fantasy football leagues in that you can draft players who haven't declared for the upcoming NFL Draft. This, of course, means that fantasy managers have to speculate […]

Updated 2026 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 1st Round Picks

Dynasty fantasy football managers are much more likely to follow the game year-round, and honestly, the most intriguing part of the season for many is the scouting process during the offseason. Given that the NFL regular season is over, it's time for many dynasty managers to start looking toward 2026. This year's NFL rookie class […]

Updated Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex, 12-Team Fantasy Football Rankings

The 2026 NFL Draft class is looking quite interesting. It doesn't appear to have the talent of the past few classes, though. In fact, outside of the top picks, it seems to be one of the least talented draft classes in recent memory. This will make finding good picks at the back end of the […]

Early 2026 Fantasy Football Mock Draft for Best Ball Contests

For those who haven't played it yet, fantasy football "best ball" leagues follow a different scoring format than normal redraft leagues. Rather than setting lineups before each week's games start, that work is done for you. Instead, your lineup is set after the fact to the highest possible scoring group of players. While it still […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Sleepers: Late-Round Picks to Target in Rookie Drafts

It's never too early for dynasty fantasy football managers to start looking toward next year for good values late in their rookie drafts. While the first-round prospects are pretty well-known at this point, you can't build a team just off first-round picks, for the most part. Instead, finding good players after the first round is […]

7 Dynasty Fantasy Football Sells - Trade Candidates for Rebuilding Teams (2026)

If you're on a rebuilding team in a dynasty fantasy football league, there are times when you just have to cut bait with good players for the future of your team. Even if a player is clearly a solid contributor to their team, that doesn't always lead to great fantasy football production. There are many […]

Re-Ranking This Year's Top 10 Rookies and Their 2026 Fantasy Football Outlooks

The 2025 NFL Draft rookie class wasn't quite the stellar group we got from 2024. That class had Ladd McConkey, Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, Jayden Daniels, Bucky Irving, and Brock Bowers, though. Even RB Isaac Guerendo had some huge games. But that's not to say there weren't good players in this year's draft. 2024 […]

2026 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Two-Round, 12-Team, PPR Rankings

This part of the NFL season is much less active for fantasy managers who prefer only playing in redraft leagues. Though it will be nice to take a break from the stress of managing a fantasy league and not knowing how your team will fare down the road, it's also fun to look at what […]

2026 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex, 12-Team Fantasy Football Rankings

Welcome to our 2026 dynasty fantasy football mock draft for 12-team, superflex leagues. The regular season has passed, so all dynasty fantasy football leagues have already had their championships. This means most fantasy football dynasty managers are aware of where they'll be picking in 2026 rookie drafts, and it's never too early to look ahead […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Buys and Sells: Second-Year Risers and Fallers

The second-year breakout expectations for players in dynasty fantasy football are often taken as a given. It makes sense because many great NFL players break out at some point in the first three years of their career. Being in the biggest professional football league in the world has a steep learning curve, and players benefit […]

Biggest Surprises of the Fantasy Football Season: 2026 Fantasy Football Outlooks

The fantasy football season is over, and we're here to recap some of the biggest surprises. Even though how players performed this season isn't always a great indicator of how they'll do the next year, it's worth looking back on the surprises and trying to find out why we didn't expect them to happen.

The #1 Overall Pick for 2026 Fantasy Football Drafts - Top 5 Candidates

The 2025 fantasy football season is over for most fantasy football managers. To make a long story short -- if you had one of the top-5 running backs, you were far more likely to make it to the fantasy championship than if you didn't. 2025 marked yet another season in which the top RBs were far more […]
