Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers and Potential League Winners: Standard Leagues (Non-PPR)

Standard (non-PPR) leagues follow the original fantasy football format -- players are not awarded points for receptions, only for scoring plays like touchdowns, two-point conversions, and gaining yards. While some fantasy managers play solely in full-PPR or half-PPR leagues, there are still plenty of standard leagues out there. They're ideal if you prefer an unforgiving […]

Dark-Horses for Overall RB1 Finish: Fantasy Football Running Backs to Smash ADPs

It won't be easy for a running back this year to beat out Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley for the title of RB1 overall in PPR fantasy football leagues.

Overvalued Wide Receivers With Bust Potential - Fantasy Football Draft Avoids

The wide receiver position is arguably the most important of all in PPR fantasy football leagues.

So, whiffing […]

Running Backs To Avoid in Fantasy Football: 3 Overvalued Draft Picks

The league's best running backs often carry both their real teams and their fantasy football teams on their backs. Even RBs drafted in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds frequently become must-starts and provide fantastic utility to their fantasy managers. But some don't. There are plenty of reasons for an RB to disappoint. It's a […]

Fantasy Football Quarterback Draft Strategy: Should You Draft a QB Early in 2025?

The quarterback position is easily the highest-scoring position of all in fantasy football in normal standard and PPR leagues.

For example, Washington Commanders […]

Fantasy Football Superflex Draft Guide, Tips, Strategy (2025)

If you've only played in normal leagues, with typical rosters and scoring settings -- namely, single-quarterback, four-point passing touchdown leagues -- you might have fun branching off into a superflex league.

Will Isaac Guerendo Play in Week 1? Fantasy Football Injury Update

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) had a promising rookie campaign in 2024, playing in relief of starting running back Christian McCaffrey.

Fantasy Football League-Winners: John Johnson's 5 Must-Draft Players (2025)

Winning your fantasy football leagues is tough. It's even tougher if you draft middling players that, despite getting plenty of hype before the season starts, end up faceplanting and languishing on fantasy benches all season. It's arguably even worse if that player puts up mediocre production. Players who have solid numbers but lack upside are […]

The 2025 NFL season is almost here, and it will kick off with a Thursday Night matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Football League Winners: Dark-Horse Overall QB1 Contenders

Obviously, guys like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Jayden Daniels have shown us what they can do in the NFL -- put up huge numbers both as passers and rushers.

Overall WR1 Contenders for Fantasy Football - Potential League-Winners

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase finished the season as the dominant, clear WR1 overall last season.

6 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates to Draft: John's Must-Have Sleepers (2025)

With only a couple of weeks left until the start of the NFL and fantasy football season, the preseason sleepers and breakout candidates are different from what they were two months ago.

Should I Draft Brashard Smith, Ollie Gordon II, or Trevor Etienne? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Rookie RBs (2025)

As rookies have proven to be fantastic options for fantasy football teams in recent seasons, fantasy managers have naturally started paying more attention to first-year players in the NFL so far in 2025. It makes perfect sense, considering what recent history has shown us. In 2023, rookie wideouts Puka Nacua and Rashee Rice both had […]

When Should I Draft Jordan Addison, Rashee Rice, Quinshon Judkins for Fantasy Football?

It can be tough to decide when to draft players who are dealing with possible suspensions or other disciplinary action in the NFL based on their past actions.

Is Ladd McConkey or Keenan Allen the WR1 for the Chargers? Which Chargers Wide Receiver Should You Draft in 2025?

The Los Angeles Chargers signed their long-time veteran receiver, Keenan Allen, before the start of the 2025 season, reuniting him with the organization that drafted him. The WR corps around him looks quite different from what it did a few years ago, though. The team's WR1 last season was Ladd McConkey. In his rookie season, […]

The Washington Commanders just recently traded their starting running back over the past two seasons, Brian Robinson Jr., to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Will A.J. Brown Play in Week 1? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) injured his hamstring earlier this August and hasn't participated in a practice since then. This would be more alarming during the season if Brown had missed this much time, including regular-season games, but in the offseason, things are a bit more unclear. Teams have every incentive to be […]

Should I Draft Isaac TeSlaa, Jaylin Noel, or Elic Ayomanor? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Rookie WRs

Three rookie wide receivers from the 2025 NFL Draft -- Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa, Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel, and Tennessee Titans wideout Elic Ayomanor -- are all currently buried on their team's depth charts, but were selected inside the first four rounds of this year's draft.

Three rookie running backs, New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson, Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey, and Pittsburgh Steelers tailback Kaleb Johnson, have all been looked at by fantasy managers at some point before the 2025 season as great running back prospects. Though Johnson's ADP has fallen drastically, especially in redraft leagues, both Henderson and Harvey […]

Should I Draft Dont'e Thornton Jr., Jack Bech, or Jalen Royals? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Rookie WRs

Seemingly without failure, each NFL season seems to produce at least one bona fide league-winner rookie wide receiver. Sometimes, that WR is a player who wasn't even drafted in most fantasy football redraft leagues before the season started, as was the case with Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua. Last year's freshman NFL WR class […]

Is Cam Skattebo Hurt or Healthy? Injury Update for Fantasy Football Week 1 (2025)

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is a rookie who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's set to join a backfield featuring fellow RBs Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary, the only other two healthy running backs on the roster. Skattebo's final college season was a productive one. […]

Overall D/ST1 Contenders - Sneaky Fantasy Football Team Defenses With Upside to Draft

The D/ST roster spot has been eliminated from some fantasy football leagues because, well, it's so tough to predict. While you can trust your best wide receivers and running backs to at least get you a meager 10 points in the worst of their games when they're not injured, not so for defenses. It's the […]

Will Jaylen Wright Play in Week 1? Fantasy Football Outlook and Injury Update

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (undisclosed) had a disappointing rookie campaign last season. The Dolphins run game as a whole was nowhere near as productive as it was in 2023, likely due to the departure of their best two run-blocking offensive linemen.  Center Connor Williams, now retired, and guard Robert Hunt, now with the […]

Will Joe Mixon Play in Week 1? Fantasy Football Outlook and Injury Update

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) is dealing with a lingering injury to his foot and ankle.

The New York Giants' top three running backs -- Tyrone Tracy Jr., Cam Skattebo, and Devin Singletary -- are who fantasy managers are considering drafting in fantasy football leagues in 2025.
