Fantasy Impact: The Donovan Mitchell Trade

After the Utah Jazz traded Rudy Gobert, it was only a matter of time before the team ended up trading Donovan Mitchell as well.

How Long is Sam Darnold Out? Is He Still Relevant in Fantasy Football?

At one point this offseason, it looked like Sam Darnold could be in line to start at quarterback for the Panthers, but then the team traded for Baker Mayfield.

Is Marlon Mack or Dameon Pierce the RB1 of the Texans?

The Houston Texans enter 2022 without a lot of fantasy hype. The offense isn't expected to be very good, which is why there isn't too much chatter about the team from a fantasy perspective.

Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy F1 Lineup Picks

After a few weeks off, Formula 1 is back this week with the Belgian Grand Prix. And it's set up to be a weird one, though hopefully not as weird as last year's rain-soaked trip to Belgium that featured no actual on-track racing. Many good cars have grid penalties this week, which means that we […]

Rex Burkhead Ends Preseason Strong

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead touched the ball on the team's first series in Thursday's preseason finale against the 49ers with a two-yard run that came in the middle of three runs by rookie Dameon Pierce.

Justin Watson Catches One Pass In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson had an impressive preseason. It ended with a bit of a dud, as he had just one catch for nine yards.

Ronald Jones Runs Well In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones carried the ball eight times for 43 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Packers. He caught his only target for four yards.

Shane Buechele Throws Pair Of Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele ended the preseason on a high note, going 11-for-17 with 166 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Packers. Buechele's an intriguing player.

Sophomore Running Backs Set to Bust Again In Fantasy Football

Out of every NFL skill position, running back is the one that worries me the most when it comes to rookies who don't produce. Because of the short shelf life of NFL running backs, seeing a rookie do nothing is worrisome because most running backs don't have a lot of time ahead of them in […]

Justin Carter's Bold Predictions for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season

Is there anything more fun than a bold prediction? You get a chance to say the things that you really want to say, but then if it's completely wrong, you can say "oh, that was just a bold prediction, of course it was wrong." I've had a lot of fun doing bold predictions pieces for […]

The Perfect Pair: Two Fantasy Football Quarterbacks Who Combine For QB1 Value

Getting strong play from the quarterback position matters in fantasy football, but unlike other positions, you don't necessarily need a stud at the position. Sure, being able to play Patrick Mahomes every week is great, but there are other strategies you can employ. One of those strategies is streaming QBs. You just grab a new […]

Sophomore Quarterbacks Set to Bust Again in Fantasy Football

Not every NFL rookie will be good. Adjusting to the speed and physicality of the NFL is tough. Sometimes, it takes a player a little bit to adjust. Take Trevor Lawrence, for instance. Bad coaching and a bad supporting cast meant that Lawrence threw an NFL-worst 17 interceptions last season. But with an offseason of […]

Must-Have Players for Fantasy Football - Standard Leagues (Non-PPR)

Does anyone play in standard leagues anymore? [insert that common joke about how we shouldn't call them standard leagues when they aren't standard anymore.] I actually like to still play in a standard league every so often. If you don't know what standard is or if you need a refresher, there's no points per reception […]

The Grass Is Greener: NBA Players Who'll Succeed In New Places

Jody Fortson Catches Two Touchdowns In Preseason Win

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Jody Fortson caught four passes for 19 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Commanders.

Two key Houston Texans didn't see the field in Friday's preseason win over the Rams.

This is likely a good thing, as Cooks is locked in as the No. 1 receiver […]
