New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in training camp. He'll remain there for at least four weeks. Tyson's hamstring has been bothering him for quite some time, and the latest development is concerning. Whether he's able to make it back to the field […]

After the Super Bowl rematch on Wednesday kicks off the 2026 NFL season, bitter divisional rivals will take each other on with the San Francisco 49ers clashing with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football. Both of these offense are among the best in the NFL at producing high-end fantasy football scorers year in […]

The first game of the 2026 season will repeat last season's Super Bowl, with the Seattle Seahawks once again facing the New England Patriots. Each team has quarterbacks and receivers that will be fantasy-relevant this season. Sam Darnold and Rashid Shaheed, who are the starting quarterback and wide receiver for the Seahawks, and first-year New England Patriots […]

The New England Patriots will take on the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday Night Football to kick off the 2026 NFL season. The Super Bowl rematch has serious fantasy implications, as do most games. New England running back Rhamondre Stevenson, Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price, and Patriots TE Hunter Henry are three players potentially worth considering […]

Kickers are a great way to add randomness to fantasy football. It helps give inexperienced players a leg up against those who may or may not spend far too much time obsessing over the game. They're not for everyone, but it can be interesting to look at another dimension of maximizing your point totals every […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List following his alleged assault on his girlfriend and subsequent arrest. This isn't Jacobs' first run-in with the law, but quite a long suspension could await him. For now, he isn't allowed to play or practice for the team. But should […]

Still drafting this weekend? Read this article before doing so, and you just might pick up one last nugget of wisdom that propels you to a league-winning finish. Picking the best and worst fantasy football players to draft in each round is a sure way to get clowned on after the season. Betting against elite […]

The wide receiver position seems to produce excellent values, and even a few league-winners in the later rounds of drafts or even among those wideouts who aren't drafted in most fantasy football leagues. A big part of the appeal of drafting multiple running backs early in redraft leagues is that their roles are usually more […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: The Houston Texans shelled out a decent amount of cash, for an RB at least, to running back David Montgomery to have him join their team. He's now set to take over the Joe Mixon role, which was quite productive in 2024, before an injury essentially […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Pollard will be the lead back for the Tennessee Titans for yet another season. There may not be much to get excited about. While the team overhauled its coaching staff in the offseason, quarterback Cam Ward doesn't appear to have made much progress. It's controversial […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-End WR2/High-End WR3 ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Chargers made an upgrade at offensive coordinator when they hired Mike McDaniel, formerly the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. L.A. is moving on from Greg Roman, who arguably leaned too run-heavy and didn't have creative schemes to get his […]

Running back handcuffs can provide outsized contingent upside in fantasy football leagues when their starter goes down with an injury. They can also surprise by siphoning some of the workload of the starter when they're underperforming. Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson, Los Angeles Chargers tailback Keaton Mitchell, and Houston Texans RB Woody Marks […]

Running back handcuffs are always the subject of intense debate in fantasy football circles. Picking the right ones early on can pay off handsomely -- for example, in 2023, it was a great idea to grab Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams off the waiver wire before or after Week 1. He had a huge […]

The running back position is, unfortunately, one that tends to get quickly depleted in redraft leagues, whether in standard, half-PPR, or full-PPR. A starting running back with a large role in his offense is an extremely valuable fantasy asset to have. In recent years, there haven't been many waiver wire league-winning RB pickups to make. […]

We're just about in the midst of prime fantasy football draft season. The 2026 NFL season is coming up quickly, and in less than two weeks, we'll finally see our first regular-season pro football action. While the ADPs and draft rankings of players are always changing, they're getting pretty close to what they'll be just […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs isn't currently dealing with a severe injury that we know of. His potential upcoming lack of availability is an entirely different matter. The veteran RB was the subject of a complaint on a domestic disturbance call, and even if criminal courts don't find NFL players guilty, the league […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (undisclosed) has been absolutely steaming up draft boards in all formats this offseason. There's been almost zero negative news about his projected role and talent in Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen's offense. He had excellent efficiency metrics last […]

This year's rookie running back class was, unfortunately, not anywhere close to that of 2025 in terms of talent. But that doesn't mean that none of them could be productive for fantasy football this season. Though they are very much the exception rather than the rule, late-round picks at any position can surprise and be […]

Unlike this year's rookie running back class, the group of WRs coming out of college and into the NFL is quite interesting, even in redraft fantasy football. Three prospects were rated higher than the rest, and all were selected in the first round. A fourth WR was selected in the first round as well. We'll […]

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) has been held out of practice for around a week now. He was a surprise must-start RB in 2024, when he finished as the RB14 in PPR fantasy leagues despite not playing in the last two weeks of the season. The sixth-year pro now has more competition in […]

As we're less than two months away from the start of the 2026 NFL season, best ball drafts are starting to pick up steam. Training camp is finally underway, so we finally have something somewhat real to look forward to. Best ball is a complicated beast. There are seemingly a million different strategies to approach, […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (groin) finished his 2025 season with a few explosive games. Considering his excellent draft capital and presence on a team with elite offensive coaching thanks to head coach Ben Johnson, fantasy managers have been excited about Act II of his NFL career. Unfortunately, he suffered a groin injury […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is the first major injury to fall in training camp, which immediately shakes up his fantasy value. Pearsall didn't miss a single game in his collegiate career due to injury, but his path to fantasy football relevance has been rocky, and the latest injury further complicates his outlook. […]

ESPN Knockout Leagues are a new and fantastic way to enjoy a thrilling fantasy football experience for the 2026 NFL season. After the success of Guillotine Leagues, which was the first website to host this format of fantasy football, other big sites soon followed, and now the format is becoming more mainstream. Knockout leagues function […]

It can be hard to move on from players who have served dynasty fantasy managers well for a long period of time. We regularly see veterans continue to produce meaningful numbers season-long or at least have a few good games that remind us of the upside they once had. But depending on your bench size, […]

This year's dynasty rookie mock drafts haven't been the most fun. It's the weakest class I remember seeing in a long time, and I've been actively following the NFL since the early 2010s. The same can't be said for 2027. It's probably going to be much more fun breaking down that class, the best prospects, […]

Whether you can find a rookie who's a bona fide league winner in redraft leagues in fantasy football mostly depends on the year. Depending on which round a rookie is drafted in, that player's performance can be enough to propel teams to the fantasy playoffs and beyond. Obviously, being able to find a breakout rookie […]

Many fantasy analysts haven't been shy about admitting that this class of rookies doesn't particularly excite them. I'm no different -- it's hard for me to see the majority of these players actually being important in the long run in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Of course, only a handful of players ever end up being […]

The 2026 NFL Draft is complete now, and while the majority of where a player is drafted in dynasty fantasy football should depend on their talent, landing spot is also very important to both their short-term and long-term value. There were some solid landing spots for some players, but others are now on teams that […]

We don't need to see players thriving in new situations after their ADP fell due to some poor seasons anymore to know what we now know -- NFL players can get big bumps in production thanks to moving to a new offense. We saw it in 2024 with Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, for example. […]
