We had our first Thursday Night Football dud last week for fantasy football when the Jets blew out the Patriots, and only a few players mattered with fantasy relevance. There is a potential for that in Week 4 Thursday Night Football as we have one team (the Dallas Cowboys) with several fantasy starters and one […]


Breece Hall - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Patriots vs. Jets TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Rhamdondre Stevenson, Hunter Henry, Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Braelon Allen, Allen Lazard, Antonio Gibson

After seeing the Ravens, Chiefs, Bills, and Dolphins on the first two Thursday Night Football games of the season, we are now getting a New England Patriots team whose wins over-under was 4.5 in the preseason and the New York Jets who are seeking to find an offensive identity. This game doesn't offer the amount […]


Tyreek Hill - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Picks

Bills vs. Dolphins TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Dalton Kincaid, James Cook, De'Von Achane, Jeff Wilson, Jaylen Wright, Khalil Shakir, Tua Tagovailoa, more

In Week 2 of the fantasy football season, we are still being treated to the premier matchups on "Thursday Night Football."

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

Three Second-Year Bust Candidates in FFPC Best Ball Drafts

The second year for skill position players is often thought to be the breakout year for many NFL careers. After spending a year getting acclimated to the league, developing rapport with teammates, and adjusting to game speed, second-year players tend to leap.

Evan Engram - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

This Year’s Fantasy Football League-Winning Tight End Is…

It's easy to point to players like Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta, or Trey McBride and say they will be league-winning tight ends in 2024. The problem is that you have to pay a premium for those players, with each going as a top-50 fantasy pick. This means bypassing other potential league-winning players at similar ADP, […]


George Pickens - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Overvalued Fantasy Football Wide Receivers in 2024 FFPC Main Event Drafts

While wide receivers are all the rage in high-stakes fantasy leagues and even smaller home leagues, that's not an invitation to take any pass-catcher at any ADP. When considering fantasy leagues where a tremendous amount of money is at stake, wide receiver is the one position managers must get right considering how much the wide […]

Colton Cowser - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Buyer Beware? Hot Starts and Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Analysis (Week 21)

The fantasy baseball playoffs are in about three weeks in many leagues and standard trade deadlines have come and gone.

Fantasy Football Bounce-Back Candidates To Target In FFPC Best Ball Drafts

Disappointment is unfortunately a large part of fantasy football.
