Sometimes, your studs just aren’t set up for success. Whether it's a brutal matchup, lingering injuries, or a streak of subpar performances, there are weeks when even top-tier players must be benched.  Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season presents several potential landmines—players who typically demand starting spots but could seriously underwhelm this week. If […]

Welcome to Week 3. Your stars might be shining bright, but every week presents new challenges, matchups, and pitfalls that can derail your team if you're not careful. So, let’s talk landmines. These are players who, on the surface, seem like solid starts based on talent or past performance, but the reality is their numbers […]

The excitement of Week 1 has given way to a cruel reality: not all studs are set to shine every week. Sure, the temptation to start your high draft picks is strong, but if you want to win your matchup, you've got to play the hand that Week 2 deals you.  That means avoiding some […]

Ah, Week One - that magical time when hope springs eternal, lineups are fresh, and every player on your roster looks like they’re about to put up 30 points. But here’s the thing: Week 1 can also be a minefield. Just because you drafted someone high doesn’t mean they’re destined to go off this week. […]

Ah, the sophomore season—where fantasy managers hold their breath, aware that the shiny new toy from last year might not maintain its brilliance. It’s a phenomenon as old as the game: a rookie dazzles, captures our hearts (and draft picks), only to break them the following year. Yes, I’m talking about the dreaded sophomore slump. […]

Fantasy managers, let's take a deep breath. We all saw the news that Christian McCaffrey, the reigning No. 1 overall fantasy football draft pick on almost every ADP board, tweaked his calf and will miss some practice time.  Should the managers who hold the first overall pick panic? No.  Here's why CMC should still be […]

Let's face it: fantasy football drafts are usually an emotional roller coaster. Hope rises as you land your league mates' coveted targets, fear creeps in when your WR1 gets snatched a pick early, and panic reigns when you’re unsure of who to take on the draft board. There's a way to help you navigate this […]

In the ever-evolving world of fantasy football, there are few constants. Players rise and fall, stars get injured, and standings change. One thing that should remain constant, however, is the method by which we acquire those free agents each week.  Enter the FAAB system—an acronym for Free Agent Acquisition Budget. If you haven't adopted FAAB […]

Fantasy football should be fun. The thrill of outsmarting your buddies, competing every week, making that perfect waiver-wire pick, and boasting about your superior football intellect (I encourage an active online messaging group for this) keeps us all coming back. The winners get bragging rights, a name on a trophy, and many more perks. The […]

Who are the best players on each team that aren't quarterbacks? One player was chosen for each team, and those players were ranked against each other. You may notice that San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is absent from this list. While McCaffrey may be one of the top five players in the NFL, offensive […]

The wide receiver landscape has become a land of opportunity in the NFL. Gone are the days of a star receiver carrying a sorry receiving corps.

It’s fantasy draft day. You’ve waited on drafting a quarterback, but they are dropping like flies. Your heart pounds, fingers hover over the keyboard, and the clock ticks down.  Do you go with the established veteran—Justin Herbert—or take a chance on the rookie sensation Jayden Daniels, the mystery box overflowing with potential?  This quarterback conundrum […]

It is an age-old question in fantasy football. Wait until the late rounds to draft a quarterback, or secure the position early and have a stud for the season? It’s easy to get fooled by a big-name quarterback, especially as they start falling off the board during the draft. Amidst the hype, there's always the […]

As fantasy football managers, we live for the NFL offseason drama and speculation. One of the hot topics buzzing in the fantasy football world is whether the San Francisco 49ers will trade one of their star receivers, Brandon Aiyuk, or Deebo Samuel Sr. With both players showcasing immense talent and contributing significantly to the team's […]

Last season, Justin Jefferson was the clear-cut No.1 overall pick in most drafts, but with the injury and questionable quarterback play after Kirk Cousins went down, he finished nowhere near that spot.  Amon-Ra St. Brown continued his rise as a bonafide fantasy football star and is now a no-brainer first-round draft pick for managers in […]
