James Conner - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 16 (2024)

I may be crazy, but I'm no ordinary fool. Right now, with a fantasy championship birth on the line, there is no back I'd rather have in my fantasy lineup than Chase Brown. That includes Saquon Barkley. There's no way Joe Burrow is going to try the "Tush Push." Brown and Barkley, for that matter, […]

Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 15 (2024)

Here's your weekly Mike Evans update, and it could be better. On Sunday, Evans hauled four of his five targets for 69 yards. With those 69 yards, Evans pushes his 2024 total to 590 yards, leaving him 410 receiving yards shy of his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season to begin his career. If Evans is to […]


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

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 15 (2024)

We enter the fantasy playoffs yearly with more questions than answers at the running back position. For example, what do we do with Zach Charbonnet if Kenneth Walker III returns this week?

Pat Freiermuth - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 14 (2024)

We learned a few things back in Week 13. One, wherever you have Brock Bowers ranked, it needs to be higher. Second, Taysom Hill suffered what is feared to be a season-ending knee injury, which further complicates matters this week.

For many, the fantasy playoffs are on the line this week. Win, and you are in; lose, and it's time to face reality and plan for next year. The problem facing many managers with their seasons on the line is six teams are on a bye this week. Back in August, Week 14 byes didn't […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Another week has come and gone, and fantasy managers are one week closer to the fantasy playoffs. As we all predicted back in Week 1, Noah Gray has taken over as the top tight end in Kansas City. Okay, I kid, but he's now posted back-to-back weeks with a pair of scores. Chigoziem Okonkwo gave […]


WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13 (2024)

With six weeks left in the NFL season, one record I am keeping a close eye on is Mike Evans' consecutive 1000-yard mark. Right now, the streak is in real jeopardy.

Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2024)

It's officially Byemageddon. Fantasy managers will need to dig deep this week as Bijan Robinson, James Cook, Chase Brown, Travis Etienne Jr., Alvin Kamara, and Breece Hall are all forced to sit out.
