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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]
