BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex / WR3 ANALYSIS: Downs has subtly been one of the best rookie receivers this season.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex / WR3 ANALYSIS: While Davis looked like the prototypical post-hype sleeper in fantasy to start the year with touchdowns in four of the first five games, he has unfortunately gone back to his usual boom-bust ways that plagued him all of last year. After dropping […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks offense has struggled with consistency in 2023, especially at the quarterback position, and wide receiver DK Metcalf has seen his numbers drop as a result.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: "Scary" Terry McLaurin has been a steady pass-catching presence for young quarterback Sam Howell this season.

When Is Matthew Stafford Coming Back: Is Stafford Returning and Playing in Week 11

Many had already written off Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford coming into the 2023 season. After a disastrous 5-12 season a year ago in which Stafford only played eight games due to a neck injury, it appeared as though the Rams' strategy of trading away every pick they own for a Super Bowl was […]

NCAA Men's Basketball Darkhorse National Championship Contenders

With the college basketball season only a week old, it’s still much too early to tell which teams are going to live up to the hype and which will prove to be fraudulent.  The NCAA tournament is the most unpredictable tournament in sports which is what makes it so exhilarating year after year.

Is Kareem Hunt A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

Another week came and went in this unforgiving sport, as more and more fantasy studs found themselves on the injury report.

I genuinely cannot remember another time when this many […]

Is Tyjae Spears A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 6? Waiver Wire Outlook

Week 5 was a big week for bounce-back performances, as guys like Breece Hall and Ja'Marr Chase went absolutely nuclear after looking very pedestrian through the first quarter of the season.

Should I Drop JuJu Smith-Schuster In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

After bursting onto the scene in Ben Roethlisberger's waning years with 2,342 receiving yards in his first two seasons, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has had a roller-coaster NFL career.

Is Tank Bigsby A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 4? Waiver Wire Outlook

The Jacksonville Jaguars entered training camp with a hole at the RB2 spot. 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne was the definitive top-man in the backfield, but his backup job was up for grabs.

Amari Cooper - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Should I Start Amari Cooper in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

The Browns have been an incredibly disappointing passing offense to start the year.

Isiah Pacheco - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Should I Start Isaiah Pacheco in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

It’s hard to trust running backs who seldom catch passes, especially in PRR formats. Players like Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Aaron Jones are elite options at the position because of their pass-catching floors.  Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is such an intriguing talent because of his size, speed, and brute running style, […]
