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 […]

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 […]

2026 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 10 Wide Receivers for 2026 Drafts

The NFL regular is officially over, but the show goes on. Today we're taking an early look at our 2026 fantasy football rankings - top 10 wide receivers. It's never too early to look at who might be the top 10 wide receivers selected in 2026 fantasy football redraft leagues. For two years in a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. If […]

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 […]


Alvin Kamara - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Picks, Draft Targets

Is Alvin Kamara Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 18)

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) hasn't played a down of football since Week 13. In Week 12, early in the contest, he suffered a knee injury that had him pulled from the game. Kamara hasn't had a great season. Though he was seen as a safe pick around the fifth and […]


Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Luther Burden III, Michael Mayer Fantasy Football Outlooks

The 2025 fantasy football season is over for the majority of teams. But fantasy managers playing in public ESPN leagues, Daily Fantasy Sports players, and plenty of others are interested in Week 18's slate of games. Some players really don't have statement performances until their second-to-last week of the season. Starters get injured all the […]


Dalton Kincaid - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Dalton Kincaid Out For The Season? Injury Update On Coming Back For Fantasy Football (Week 18)

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is unfortunately in the midst of another injury-riddled season in his third year in the NFL. He's looked quite promising in the games he's been able to string together, especially this season. But he played in 16 games in his rookie season, just 13 games last year, and […]


Davante Adams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Is Davante Adams Out For The Season? Injury Update On Coming Back For Fantasy Football (Week 18)

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) missed Week 16 due to a hamstring injury. He's now 33 years old, and these types of injuries can be quite serious for older players. While most fantasy football leagues concluded their championships in Week 17, some extend into Week 18, and DFS fantasy managers have the […]


George Kittle - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

Is George Kittle Out For The Season? Injury Update On Coming Back For Fantasy Football (Week 18)

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) is dealing with a low-to-mid ankle sprain that he suffered in his team's Week 16 win over the Indianapolis Colts.  Kittle has been one of the best tight ends in the NFL since he entered the league, and it was a disappointing outcome for both 49ers fans […]


Dylan Sampson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Dylan Sampson, Raheim Sanders, Michael Carter: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

Cleveland Browns running backs Dylan Sampson (hand) and Raheim Sanders will have more opportunities to touch the football in Week 17. The Browns starting RB, Quinshon Judkins (leg, ankle) is out for the season after suffering a gruesome leg injury in Week 16. Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter also stands to benefit workload-wise since […]


Kenneth Gainwell - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Sleepers

Kenneth Gainwell, Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

The running back position is quite interesting in championship week. Any starting RB as well as a handful of RB2s should be considered for starting lineups. Even the "lower-tier" starting RBs can be quite valuable for fantasy teams. We just saw Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard, who was one of the biggest draft busts […]


Jakobi Meyers - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Parker Washington, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jakobi Meyers: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

Week 17 is coming up. Whether you're fighting for your fantasy football league championship, hoping to get some winnings from placing highly, or just trying to avoid being the toilet bowl loser, finding who to start at wide receiver is always important. Many WRs, like Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Emeka Egbuka, have been tough to […]


George Kittle - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

George Kittle Injury Report: Will Kittle Play in Week 17 for Fantasy Football?

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) had a huge game in Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury in the game -- if he hadn't, his day could have been even bigger. Kittle, when healthy, has been one of fantasy football's best tight ends. With 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk […]


DK Metcalf - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injuries

Is DK Metcalf Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 17)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf isn't necessarily dealing with an injury. Instead, he was involved in an altercation with a fan of the Detroit Lions in his team's Week 16 win over that team. Metcalf's antics didn't go unpunished by the NFL, and now he'll have to take some time away from the game […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Lamar Jackson Injury Report: Will Jackson Play in Week 17 for Fantasy Football?

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) has had a tumultuous season in 2025, just one year after being the QB1 overall in fantasy football. In 2024, he threw for 4,172 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and just four interceptions, adding 915 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Through Week 16, he's thrown for just […]


Tyler Shough - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, QB Streamers, DFS Picks

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Tyler Shough, Parker Washington, Kalif Raymond Fantasy Football Outlooks

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington, and Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond all had (arguably) surprisingly good performances in Week 16. With championship week coming up in most fantasy leagues, you might be wondering if you should add any of these players and potentially start them in Week […]


Kyle Pitts - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Kyle Pitts Sr., Kirk Cousins, Colby Parkinson Fantasy Football Outlooks

Week 15 has concluded, and despite being nearly done with the 2025 NFL season, we still saw players have surprise performances that made fantasy managers consider grabbing them off waivers and starting them in Week 16, even with potential elimination on the line. The fantasy playoffs, in most leagues, are single-game elimination contests. But as […]


Is Alvin Kamara Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 16)

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) has now missed two games in a row with knee and ankle injuries. He hurt his knee in Week 12, just after his team's bye week, early in the contest against the Atlanta Falcons, and was forced to exit. It's been a rough season for the […]


Garrett Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Is Garrett Wilson Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 16)

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) suffered his second knee sprain of the 2025 season in Week 10. It was his first game back from his first knee sprain, which caused him to miss three weeks, including his team's Week 9 bye. It seems, on the surface, like the Jets rushed him back […]


Myles Garrett - Cleveland Browns DST, Fantasy Football Defense Rankings, D/ST Streamers, Waiver Wire, IDP Pickups

Fantasy Football Playoff D/ST Busts? Defenses to Avoid in Weeks 15-17

The D/ST position in fantasy football is certainly frustrating to deal with. Each year, there are only a handful that become set and forget at their position. This season, the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans lead that group, but there aren't many. The problem is that a lot of things typically have to go right […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

Is Omarion Hampton or Kimani Vidal the RB1 for the Los Angeles Chargers?

The Los Angeles Chargers activated rookie running back Omarion Hampton from injured reserve ahead of Week 15 of the 2025 season. He had missed eight weeks due to a fractured ankle he suffered in Week 5, just as it looked like he was taking over a workhorse role for the team. Players tend to get […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

QB Fantasy Football Playoffs Strength of Schedule - Best/Worst Quarterback Matchups

We've already seen the Atlanta Falcons play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. On Thursday Night Football, the Bucs shockingly collapsed, losing to Atlanta 28-29. If you started Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, you're probably very happy with his performance. He completed 30 of his 44 attempts for 373 yards and three touchdowns, with all his […]


Shedeur Sanders - Fantasy Football Rookie QB Rankings, NFL Prospect Sleepers

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Shedeur Sanders, Ryan Flournoy, Mike Gesicki Fantasy Football Outlooks

Players can have breakout games at any point in any NFL season. While it might seem like we already know all the players who will be fantasy relevant for the fantasy football playoffs, we've seen players have elite stretches over the past three or even two contests, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere. There are a […]


Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Jerry Jeudy, Luther Burden III, Jayden Reed: Must-Add Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15 Fantasy?

It's Week 15, which is the first week of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Whether you made it in and want to win a championship, or are just looking to avoid your league's last place spot, there's still reason to work the waiver wire. Even if you're out of the playoffs, it makes […]
