BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Deep League Bench Stash ANALYSIS: The former Washington Commanders first-round pick, Jahan Dotson, was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in August.

Jake Ferguson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Midrange TE1 ANALYSIS: Cleveland's defense is stout, and they were particularly effective in guarding opposing tight ends a year ago.

Three Fantasy Football Sleeper Candidates Who Will Bust in 2024

While identifying sleepers is a fun and pivotal exercise in the run-up to your fantasy football draft, it’s important to ensure you target the right players. Therefore, you must distinguish fact from fiction when examining potential sleepers late in the draft. There’s not much downside with late-round picks, but you never want to completely waste […]


Rico Dowdle - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Deeper Running Back Fantasy Football Sleepers for 2024

One of the best parts of playing fantasy football is finding potential sleepers in your draft. The second you hear a league mate exclaim “Who?!” immediately after your pick, you know you’ve done something right. Due to the natural fragility of the position, it's even more important if you can find sleepers at running back. […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~ 50th Overall ADP: 65 ANALYSIS: Rice came on strong in the second half of his rookie season in 2023.

James Conner - Week 1 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: At first glance, this is a tough matchup. Arizona’s offensive line is a weakness and Buffalo’s defense has been stout.

Ty Chandler - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Sneaky Fantasy Football Bench Stashes: Later-Round Draft Values (2024)

For as much time as fantasy football players spend analyzing the top players available in drafts, it’s equally important to examine the names going toward the end of drafts. It’s an area many gamers neglect as they feel players selected toward the back half of drafts are more “dart throw” type picks. While this is […]


Blake Corum - Fantasy Football Rankings, College FB, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers

Blake Corum (RB, LAR): 2024 Fantasy Football Draft Values

Baller Move: Target Around ~100 overall ADP: ~117 ANALYSIS: Corum was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Should I Draft DJ Moore or Keenan Allen for Fantasy Football? Who is the Bears WR1 for 2024?

The Chicago Bears have assembled an impressive wide receiver corps for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. They have incumbent starter DJ Moore and added veteran Keenan Allen and rookie Rome Odunze this offseason. Moore and Allen figure to lead the depth chart. Allen has had a long and productive career, while Moore enjoyed a fine 2023 […]


Cooper Kupp - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Should I Draft Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua for Fantasy Football? Who is the Rams WR1 for 2024?

Entering the 2023 season, Cooper Kupp had long been entrenched as the Rams WR1. That all started to change when rookie Puka Nacua stepped onto the field last year and caught 10 receptions for 119 yards in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. Nacua appeared to establish himself as the new alpha receiver in Los […]

Three Overvalued Fantasy Football Wide Receivers In 2024

If you’re a longtime fantasy football player, then you know how expensive wide receivers have become. More and more fantasy gamers are moving away from the fragility of running backs and are investing in the safer option. However, just because wide receivers are viewed as being safe, it doesn’t mean there aren’t landmines at the […]


League Winners? Fantasy Football Rookies With League-Winning Upside

Rookies have notoriously been difficult to predict for fantasy football. For years, managers tried their best to avoid rookies due to the uncertainty and volatility surrounding them. In more recent years, though, we have seen rookies make an immediate impact. Just last year, we saw C.J. Stroud and Puka Nacua emerge as top fantasy options. […]

Fantasy Football Do Not Draft List - 2024 Busts and Avoids

Fantasy football players spend so much time focusing on which players to draft that they sometimes overlook the players they shouldn’t. It’s a simple concept that goes a long way toward sustained success in your league. Players disappoint every year. Whether it’s due to poor circumstances, injuries, subpar play, or just bad luck, there are […]


Third-Year Fantasy Football Breakouts for 2024 - Zamir White, George Pickens, Drake London, more

It’s never too early to plan for the upcoming fantasy football season.

Brian Robinson Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings Running Backs, Waiver Wire Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Three Undervalued Fantasy Football Running Backs for Zero RB Builds in 2024

The Zero RB draft strategy has become very popular in recent years. It applies mainly to full PPR leagues and those where you can start three or more wide receivers. The idea is that you build a strong enough advantage at other positions (mainly wide receiver) to offset your weakness at running back. Part of […]


Jonathon Brooks - Fantasy Football Rankings, College FB, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Rookies With Later-Season Value In 2024

In the early days of fantasy football, relying on first-year players was the equivalent of eating spaghetti with ketchup and mustard. You just don’t do it. Today, it’s more common to see rookies provide instant fantasy results, and some gamers expect them to do so (See Marvin Harrison Jr.’s current FFPC ADP). While we’ve seen […]


Jaleel McLaughlin - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Should I Draft Jaleel McLaughlin Or Audric Estime For Fantasy Football? Who Is The Broncos RB2 For 2024?

The Denver Broncos targeted running backs at the highest rate in the league in 2024. With rookie Bo Nix taking over as starting quarterback, Denver will likely continue targeting backs at a strong clip.

J.K. Dobbins - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Should I Draft Gus Edwards Or J.K. Dobbins For Fantasy Football? Who Is The Chargers RB1 For 2024?

After opting not to re-sign longtime starter Austin Ekeler, the Los Angeles Chargers remade their running back room this offseason. They brought in two former Baltimore Ravens backs in J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. New head coach Jim Harbaugh prefers an offense with a strong ground attack. So this is a backfield fantasy gamers are […]

Three Workhorse Running Backs Who Will Bust - Fantasy Football Avoids (2024)

Every year, gamers are looking for three-down running backs during their fantasy football drafts. With the league continually moving towards running-back-by-committee backfields, it’s getting increasingly difficult to find true workhorse backs with each passing year. Making things more difficult is that even when we do find a workhorse back in fantasy drafts, there’s no guarantee […]

Fantasy Football All-Bust Team - Players To Avoid for 2024 Drafts

A new fantasy football season is fast approaching. That means it’s time for managers to start preparing for their fantasy football drafts. While much of the attention is focused on which players to target, it’s arguably more important to recognize which players you need to avoid. You don’t win your league on draft day, but […]
