Should I Draft Tetairoa McMillan or Omarion Hampton? 2025 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Analysis

While summer is here and typically means it’s time to relax and take vacations, dynasty fantasy football managers know there is no time to rest during the offseason. Rookie drafts are underway, and gamers are facing tough decisions with every pick. Two of the top players available in dynasty rookie drafts this year are Carolina […]


RJ Harvey - NFL Rookie Rankings, Draft Prospects, Running Back

Should I Draft RJ Harvey or Quinshon Judkins? 2025 Dynasty Rookie Draft Analysis

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey and Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins are two rookie backs drafted in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Judkins was selected early, at 36th overall, in a move that some might consider a bit of a reach. Interestingly, the fantasy community was utterly blindsided by Harvey's […]

5 Fantasy Football Rookie Running Back Breakout Candidates: Player Outlooks and Projections (2025)

There are always running backs who come into the NFL and make an immediate impact. In 2023, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and De'Von Achane were three breakout rookie running backs. All three players also finished as top-24 running backs in fantasy. In 2024, Bucky Irving and Tyrone Tracy Jr. could be seen as rookie breakouts.  […]

Top 5 Rookie Fantasy Football Avoids - Dynasty League Draft Bust Candidates (2025)

In the high-stakes world of dynasty fantasy football, rookie drafts are a critical opportunity to build a championship-caliber roster that thrives for years to come. While the allure of unproven talent can be tempting, selecting the wrong players can set your team back significantly, draining resources and roster spots that could have been better utilized. […]


Ashton Jeanty - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs in the Best Situations: 3 RB Breakouts to Draft (2025)

A deep and talented running back class may not be as fruitful as we'd once hoped, at least in Year 1. While Omarion Hampton, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kaleb Johnson are projected to take control of their respective depth charts eventually, proven veterans stand in their way of securing full-time roles in their rookie campaigns. Najee […]

5 League-Winning Fantasy Football Sleeper Wide Receivers: Undervalued Draft Targets (2025)

There are a few more important things to do in PPR fantasy football redraft leagues than nailing your later-round picks on wide receivers that end up finishing the year among the top players at their position. WRs have huge upside in PPR leagues due to their main role being, you know, catching the football. Every […]


Travis Hunter - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Draft Prospects, NFL Rookies

4 Rookie Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Breakout Candidates: Player Outlooks and Projections (2025)

Rookie wide receivers are the subject of a ton of fascination by fantasy football managers every season, and with good reason. In many years, a rookie wideout absolutely smashes his projections and finishes as a top-10 player at his position. There are plenty of recent examples of this happening. Just last season, Jacksonville Jaguars WR […]


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

Is Tyreek Hill a Fantasy Football Wide Receiver to Avoid Drafting This Season? (2025)

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has made a career out of dazzling NFL viewers with his incredible combination of acceleration and long speed. For years, defenses have had little in the way of answers for Hill's generational athleticism. That was, until last season. The Dolphins offense as a whole was much worse than it […]


Jaylen Wright - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

5 Fantasy Football Sleeper Running Backs to Target in Drafts: Deep Late-Round Sleepers (2025)

The process of identifying sleepers can become an integral part of both the planning process and your eventual roster construction that occurs during your drafts. The designation of certain players as sleepers does not suggest a lack of awareness surrounding those players, as a large percentage of fantasy managers voraciously research their options before each […]


Jaydon Blue - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Picks, NFL Draft

Fantasy Football Superflex Rookie Mock Draft: Round 3 Picks and Players to Target (2025)

The third round of rookie drafts in dynasty fantasy football leagues, despite generally being stripped of a lot of talent, still manages to have a few players who vastly outperform their ADP every season. Of course, in Superflex leagues, it's generally unlikely to get a good quarterback in these rounds. But players of other positions, […]


Tyler Warren - NFL Draft Prospect, Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings

Fantasy Football Rookie Tight Ends You Must Draft in 2025

Fantasy football managers have seen several rookie tight ends become strong fantasy options in Year 1. A rookie tight end has finished as the overall TE1 in back-to-back years. Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta finished as the top overall tight end in 2023, and Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers finished as the best […]

Bhaysul Tuten - NFL Draft Prospects, Rookie Rankings

Day 3 NFL Rookie Running Backs Who Could Start: 4 Fantasy Football Sleepers to Draft (2025)

The ever-coveted RB1 roles can lead to hugely productive fantasy seasons for running backs. There isn't much to explain here -- volume is nearly everything at the RB position. That's how unathletic players like Rams running back Kyren Williams can put up massive numbers -- they have huge, huge roles in their offenses. Obviously, the […]


Kaleb Johnson - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks - NFL Draft

Kaleb Johnson, Tetairoa McMillan, Matthew Golden - Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Busts

Perhaps the worst feeling you can get as a dynasty fantasy football manager that doesn't relate directly to losing matchups is when you invest a premium pick in a rookie draft in a player that ends up being a bust. Much of your offseason research should be dedicated to really scrutinizing players and their situations. Of […]

Dynasty Start-Up Draft Busts: 5 Overvalued Fantasy Football Picks for 2025

The startup draft for dynasty fantasy football leagues is unequivocally the most important single event in any league for fantasy managers. So obviously, busting on your picks can be pretty catastrophic. However, with ADP largely dictating who players draft, many unwittingly fall into traps. There are landmines in every year's drafts, yet many fantasy managers […]

4 Dynasty Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers and Busts: 2nd Round Draft Targets or Avoids (2025)

The second round of rookie dynasty fantasy football drafts is historically filled with good talent. Of course, they weren't everyone's first preferences, but that doesn't matter. NFL evaluations of prospects are never perfect, and plenty of players slip through the cracks, if not just a little bit. In addition, there are often heavy biases against […]


Dylan Sampson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Dynasty, Rookie Prospects

Should I Draft Dylan Sampson or Devin Neal? 2025 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Analysis

It's not always easy to distinguish clearly between running backs drafted in the middle-to-late rounds of the NFL Draft. But trying to sniff out who is in the better situation, who has a chance of getting early volume, and who will likely have the better career isn't an easy task. And in dynasty fantasy football, […]

5 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers You Must Draft in Dynasty Leagues

Wide receivers have become the cornerstone for most successful dynasty teams. It’s been quite a reversal from how managers used to build their rosters.
