For many years, the expectation among fantasy managers and football fans was that players would have a significant jump in production in their third season. However, there have been so many rookies who have had fantasy-relevant seasons in recent years that our expectations have shifted. That shift in perspective has forced younger players up in […]

Over the last few seasons, we have seen rookies enter the NFL and make an immediate impact for fantasy football. The 2025 class was no exception. That group provided fantasy managers with a top-15 quarterback (Jaxson Dart), six top-30 running backs (Cam Skattebo, Omarion Hampton, Ashton Jeanty, Quinshon Judkins, TreVeyon Henderson, and RJ Harvey), a […]

It won’t be long until NFL teams are kicking off their training camps heading into the 2026 NFL season. That means fantasy drafts are just around the corner. There are many ways to attack a fantasy draft. The current trend for many is to load up on running backs early to try to identify players […]

The 2026 offseason keeps plugging along. OTAs are officially underway, and teams are getting a close look at their new talent. Dynasty rookie drafts have likely already taken place for some, but many more will be underway as we get closer to Week 1. In terms of talent, the 2026 NFL Draft did not do […]

The NFL offseason is moving quickly. Teams have already spent their money in free agency and invested their draft capital into the rookie class. Training camps, the preseason, and the regular season are just around the corner. We still have time before redraft season starts, but plenty of fantasy managers are already drafting teams in […]

The 2026 NFL offseason keeps chugging along. Rookie minicamps are officially underway as teams figure out how to incorporate their 2026 NFL Draft selections. The regular season is still several months away, but fantasy drafts have already started in dynasty and best-ball formats. It is never too early to understand ADP movement and identify value […]

It is common knowledge that the 2026 NFL Draft class is not the best for fantasy. The class lacked high-end talent at quarterback, wide receiver, and tight end while providing virtually no depth at running back. That said, plenty of prospects landed in fantasy-friendly situations, which could boost their appeal in fantasy football. Below are […]

The 2026 NFL Draft class lacks elite talent capable of making an impact at the NFL level. That is true of all positions, but even more so in fantasy circles. Unfortunately, a lack of high-end talent doesn’t mean that we can pass on our rookie drafts in dynasty formats. That is especially true for fantasy […]

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can fully shift our attention to the 2026 offseason. Things move quickly in the NFL when it comes to the offseason. Major showcase events like the Senior Bowl have already taken place, and the NFL Combine is two weeks away. Some dynasty managers are already preparing for […]

The Seattle Seahawks are officially Super Bowl Champions for the 2025-2026 season, which means it is time to start shifting focus to the offseason. However, die-hard best ball fans have had the ability to draft lineups for weeks on platforms like Underdog Fantasy. There are still many months of offseason events, like free agency and […]

There have been numerous significant injuries during the 2025 NFL season that have had an impact on fantasy football. In some cases, fantasy managers are hoping that their injured player can return down the stretch to provide some fantasy value. One player who fits that billing is Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins. Dobbins was […]

The 2025 season has been a frustrating one for injuries in fantasy football. Each week, there have been numerous impactful injuries that have forced fantasy managers to think on the fly. In a lot of cases, fantasy managers are left stashing an impactful player on the injured reserve, hoping for a late-season boost to their […]

For most, Week 15 is the opening week of the fantasy football playoffs. It is time to pull out the stops in a quest for a fantasy football championship. That could mean leaning on players that may not have traditionally been in your lineup, especially if you find yourself as the underdog in your playoff […]

2025 has been a brutal season for injuries across fantasy football. One highly drafted player who has missed significant time this summer is New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. When healthy, Wilson gave fantasy managers a top-10 wide receiver season thanks to his high-volume role in the Jets’ offense. Unfortunately, a knee injury has […]

Week 14 was an odd week at the quarterback position in fantasy. Nine different quarterbacks scored at least 20.0 fantasy points. However, there is a really good chance that four of them (Shedeur Sanders, Aaron Rodgers, Tyler Shough, and J.J. McCarthy) were nowhere near your starting lineup in single-QB leagues. If you are reading this, […]

Fantasy managers drafted second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels with confidence throughout the summer. Daniels took the NFL (and fantasy football) by storm as a rookie, flashing consistent accuracy as a passer and mobility with a subpar supporting cast. Unfortunately, injuries and general offensive struggles have led to a down year for fantasy. Not only has Daniels […]

Mike Evans has been one of the most reliable players, regardless of position, since entering the NFL in 2014. Fantasy managers have been able to count on double-digit fantasy production with at least 13 games played per season. Unfortunately, all that came to an end in 2025. Evans struggled with injuries early in the season […]

Justin Herbert has performed like a top 10 quarterback in fantasy football this season, even if his recent play has been a notch below his early-season form. Still, the Chargers have very talented pass catchers who can elevate Herbert on any given week. Fantasy managers who have leaned on Herbert throughout the season got a […]

Week 13 was another uneven week for fantasy football quarterbacks. All 32 teams were in action, but only seven quarterbacks surpassed 20 fantasy points, and just two (Patrick Mahomes and Jordan Love) had 25.0+ points. Unfortunately, Week 14 will once again have four teams on bye. That is especially bad news for fantasy managers relying […]

Being proactive on the waiver wire late in the season can be the difference between winning a fantasy championship and participating in your league’s consolation bracket. Making sure to maximize your FAAB budget or using your waiver priority on a player with an increased role is crucial. One situation worth exploring in fantasy is the […]

Week 12 was once again difficult for quarterbacks in fantasy. Jameis Winston (32.2 points) and Jalen Hurts (30.8) provided high-end fantasy performances. But only four other quarterbacks (Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, Cam Ward, and Caleb Williams) managed to score more than 20 fantasy points. Week 13 is a welcome reprieve from bye weeks, but there […]

The fantasy playoffs are right around the corner. Now is the time to make moves that will lead to a playoff berth, and hopefully, a fantasy championship. There were several running back injuries in Week 11 that opened up opportunities for backup running backs to have big fantasy weeks. Undoubtedly, those performances led fantasy managers […]

Jayden Daniels was a sensation in both real life and fantasy football as a rookie in 2024. It was easy to imagine his game taking another step in 2025, given his efficiency as a passer and runner. Unfortunately, injuries have derailed that dream. Daniels has missed several games this season due to various injuries, limiting […]

Week 12’s Thursday Night Football matchup between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills continues a trend of underwhelming Thursday matchups. Still, there are plenty of players in this game who can be fantasy relevant. On one hand, the Bills have Josh Allen, who can push any of his pass catchers into a high-end fantasy outcome […]

Garrett Wilson was an early-round fantasy pick in 2025 based on the idea that he would be fed a huge target share every week from Justin Fields. We have seen that formula work for Fields before, but never with a receiver with Wilson’s talent level. For a while, that plan paid off. Unfortunately, a series […]

The fantasy playoffs are right around the corner, and it is time to start fishing on the waiver wire for players who can improve the floor and ceiling of your fantasy lineup. One area that fantasy managers can target is the running back position. There have been numerous injuries in recent weeks that have given […]

Week 11 was an odd one for the quarterback position. We got one of the best fantasy performances of the year from Josh Allen, who scored 42.6 fantasy points with three rushing and three passing touchdowns. We also got a 31-point performance from Bryce Young. Unfortunately, they were the only two quarterbacks entering Monday night […]

For many, Week 14 is the final week of the fantasy football regular season. That means most leagues will have their playoff field set in just four games. Maximizing your fantasy lineup not only helps in the win/loss column but can also have major implications for potential tiebreakers. It goes without saying that the goal […]

Thursday night football has been a mixed bag for fantasy production. There have been several memorable performances, like Matthew Stafford’s 389-yard passing effort in Week 5 or Ja’Marr Chase’s 161-yard game in Week 7. There was also Week 10’s 10-7 defensive slugfest between the Raiders and Broncos. Week 11’s matchup is between one of the […]

Injuries and bye weeks continue to force fantasy managers to adjust their lineups on the fly. That is especially important with just three weeks left (for most) in the fantasy regular season. Now is the time to attack the waiver wire to try and optimize your lineup’s ability to make a run through the fantasy […]
