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.

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.

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.

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.

Teams have every incentive to be […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.
