What is the Fantasy Football Impact of O.J. Howard to Texans?
Tight end O.J. Howard was released by the Bills following the preseason, but it didn't take the former Alabama star long to find a new home.

Rookie WRs Set to Make An Impact in 2022 Fantasy Football Leagues
Rookie wide receivers tend to be really hit or miss in fantasy football. Last year was definitely a "hit" year, as Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle had explosive seasons. This season...well, I think we should temper our expectations just a little bit about this class of rookie wideouts. There's plenty of talent, but Chase and […]

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. There was no way the Jazz could justify holding Mitchell, because the team would have been a fringe playoff team with no viable path to improving. So, they traded Mitchell on […]

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. And while the team initially didn't decide on a starting QB after the trade, it seemed clear that Mayfield would eventually earn that role. Darnold was […]

We don't really know a ton about this injury at this point, aside from the fact that Waddle didn't play in the team's final preseason game. Will this Waddle injury end up lingering into the season?

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. Though, there is one player who has fantasy Twitter abuzz: rookie running back Dameon Pierce. But is Pierce even the starter? […]

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.

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 […]

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?
