2024 Fantasy Football Superflex Sleepers: Quarterbacks

In fantasy football, Superflex leagues offer a unique challenge, especially at the quarterback position.

Rookie draft season is in full swing for fantasy football dynasty leagues as minicamps begin across the league. In Superflex dynasty leagues, no position is more important than quarterback.

Fantasy Football Late-Round Tight End Sleepers You Must Have in 2024

2024 may finally change course and the way we look at tight ends for fantasy football.

Undervalued Fantasy Football Tight Ends to Target in PPR Leagues

It is important to know the difference between PPR (points per reception) and standard scoring leagues (no points per reception) when deciding to take a tight end in your 2024 fantasy football drafts.

Fantasy Football Short-Term Quarterback Starters to Target in 2024 Superflex Drafts

In single-quarterback fantasy football setups, only around half of the 32 starting quarterbacks draw legitimate fantasy football interest. On the flip side, every signal-caller with a chance to start has value in Superflex or two-QB formats. Positional scarcity is a significant factor in these leagues, so even bottom-of-the-barrel quarterbacks will be rostered and in starting […]

Sneaky RB1 Candidates? 2024 Fantasy Football Running Back Sleepers

It's becoming harder and harder to rely on running backs in fantasy football. That could explain why the first round of fantasy drafts is owned by wide receivers this year.

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.

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.
