Five-Round Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex

The 2026 NFL Draft is mercifully over after a three-day marathon in which several of the top fantasy talents landed in unenviable positions.

With that said, this class does have some […]

With the stink of a very mediocre 2026 NFL Draft now flushed into the past, draft sickos can finally focus on the absolutely loaded 2027 class.

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Expert Three-Round Projections (Final Edition)

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Expert Three-Round Projections (April Edition)

April is “lying season” in the NFL. This is a well-accepted fact and way of life by now, with over half of what you hear out of general managers’ mouths being outright deceit or a well-stretched embellishment. That is something we must always remind ourselves, particularly as we edge closer to the NFL Draft, because […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trades: 14 Players/Picks to Buy or Sell (2026)

A lot has changed in this space since early February, when we told you to sell Woody Marks before the Texans added competition and buy Isaiah Likely before he signed with a team that would prioritize him in its offense.

Five-Round Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex Rankings and Analysis

The consensus with the 2026 NFL Draft is that this is a “down year,” or even a “bad year” for talent. This is a phrase bandied about by many analysts and most dynasty personalities. It is also a relatively fair conclusion in terms of depth and overall talent in this class, especially at the quarterback […]

We are now entering Week 18, the final week before the NFL’s playoffs begin. As we have stated before, this is the time when many NFL teams begin resting players.

Week 14 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football (2025) - Defense Positional Rankings for LB, DL, DB

It's becoming a yearly tradition for fantasy writers to complain about the NFL's Week 14 bye schedule. Seemingly every season, we lose at least one, if not multiple, quality offenses to a late-season bye. This also means that IDP managers lose reliable stars on defense during their final push for the fantasy playoffs, forcing them […]

Week 13 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football (2025) - Defense Positional Rankings for LB, DL, DB

The hazards of NFL injury reports are a nightmare for fantasy managers, especially when things go to the wire.

IDP Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 10 - Streamers, Fades, Matchups for Defensive Players

The NFL’s trade deadline used to be an afterthought, where few deals ever happened and none of significance could cross the threshold. More noteworthy were the deals that didn’t happen, such as the botched last-minute trade between the Bengals and Browns for A.J. McCarron. However, the days of insignificant trade deadlines appear to be done, […]

Week 10 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football (2025) - Defense Positional Rankings for LB, DL, DB

Week 10 is a unique one when it comes to byes. At first glance, this week is not so painful. Unlike the massacre of Week 8 when six key teams were out, a manageable four squads are gone. Additionally, while the loss of the Cowboys, Bengals, and Chiefs is bad news for the offensive side […]

IDP Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 9 - Streamers, Fades, Matchups for Defensive Players

Sometimes IDP managers must read between the lines more than the average fantasy fan.
