Five Fantasy Football Rookies That Will Fail To Make An Instant Impact In 2024

In recent years, we have seen more rookies than ever before provide immediate fantasy football results. Just last year, we watched Puka Nacua and C.J. Stroud have impressive debut seasons.

Evaluating Ambiguous Fantasy Football Backfields (2024) - Part II

Fantasy football managers often find plenty of fantasy value with ambiguous backfields. Since we don't exactly know how the touch distribution will be dispersed, prices are often reduced due to that uncertainty. If you're one to wait on the running-back position, targeting these backfields can provide much fantasy value if you draft the right one. […]

Evaluating Ambiguous Fantasy Football Backfields (2024) - Part I

Ambiguous means uncertain or unclear. These backfields do not have a true No. 1 running back. Sometimes, this could mean a wide-open competition from the top to the bottom of the depth chart. Other times, it may mean that there is likely a committee approach with no defined leader. The final possibility is that we […]

Fantasy Football Veteran Quarterback Fallers - Post-NFL Draft 2024

However, the addition of […]

Overvalued, Undervalued Fantasy Football Rookies in 2024 Best Ball Drafts

Rookie fever is in full force. Although fantasy football drafts still have a few months to go, best ball is well on its way.  Two things are common this time of year.

Do NOT Draft Josh Jacobs for Fantasy Football (2024)

Every offseason, fantasy managers tend to get carried away, positively and negatively, on a handful of players. Their ADPs skyrocket or plummet way more than they should. Oftentimes, when this happens, one overarching narrative quiets out everything else. For these two extremes to occur, many individuals ignore previously known facts. This article will dispel and […]

Fantasy Football RB Busts and Sleepers - Elusiveness

Back before advanced metrics were a thing, we used to look at yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to determine a player’s value. It’s much more nuanced today, thanks in part to numerous companies that have given life to advanced data. One of those advanced metrics is PlayerProfilers’ Juke Rate, which is essentially a measure of […]

Fantasy Football Veteran RBs Set to Lose Touches in 2024

Over the last decade or so, we’ve seen a shift in the way running backs are valued in the NFL. Heck, they used to be top-10 draft picks.

Sophomore Slump: Can Rashee Rice, Jordan Addison, and Jayden Reed Meet Expectations in Year Two?

Each year, a new, promising crop of rookies enters the NFL.

Fantasy Football Veteran Wide Receivers Set to Lose Targets in 2024

Some of fantasy football’s favorite receivers might not put up the numbers in 2024 that they did in 2023 and past years, and it is because they will not have the opportunities to catch passes they used to. Just like a hitter in baseball is dependent upon the amount of plate appearances he gets, a […]

As fantasy football enthusiasts gear up for another exhilarating season, the search for rookie talent is always a tempting venture.

2024 Fantasy Football: Positive TD Regression Candidates At Running Back

Touchdowns are the name of the game in fantasy football, especially at running back, wide receiver, and tight end. In most leagues, both rushing and receiving touchdowns count for six points.

Avoid These Tight Ends in 2024: Fantasy Football Outlook

My friend Andrew Cooper (@CoopAFiasco on X) says it all the time. To be a top-producing tight end for fantasy football, you have to be one of two things, an athletic freak or a top-2 target earner on your team. Preferably both, with a lean toward being a top-2 target earner first. But it's an […]

Early Fantasy Football Running Back Sleepers for Best Ball Drafts (2024)

So what's a "sleeper" anyway? In its purest form, it's a player that's being "slept" on. They are players who should be valued more highly by the fantasy football community for one reason or another. No, De'Von Achane is not a sleeper, stop kidding yourself. But maybe Raheem Mostert is? Maybe, maybe not, considering the […]
