Free NFL Betting Picks - NFL Team Futures Bets to Attack

There is an excellent reason that so many NFL futures come with highly enticing lines: They’re really difficult to predict correctly.

Fooled Me Once, Not Again: Sophomore Fantasy Football Running Backs Set to Bust Again

Being a rookie in the NFL is not easy. NFL systems are complicated, and rookies do not have the luxury of spending an entire offseason in an NFL facility. Rookie running backs tend to enjoy more success than other positions in the NFL because it is a much easier transition. As a result, many rookie […]

Dark-Horse Contenders for Fantasy Football's WR1

Drafting wide receivers early and often is all the rage this year. Heck, in a standard 12-team league, you often see 7-8 wide receivers go in the first round and just about any of those top guys could finish as the WR1 and it wouldn't surprise us. The last time we saw a receiver make […]

Several players have distinguished themselves as must-haves in […]

NFL Seasonal Player Props to Attack (2024)

Fooled Me Once, Not Again: Sophomore Fantasy Football Quarterbacks Set to Bust Again

Last year, Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud set the NFL on fire, taking Houston to the playoffs in his first NFL season. Indianapolis Colts rookie Anthony Richardson dealt with injuries all year but was impressive in the time he was on the field. But not every rookie quarterback was good in 2023. Some played […]

Sneaky Fantasy Football Bench Stashes: Later-Round Draft Values (2024)

For as much time as fantasy football players spend analyzing the top players available in drafts, it’s equally important to examine the names going toward the end of drafts.

Every fantasy manager wants to draft the young, explosive running backs. Bijan Robinson, Breece Hall, Jahmyr Gibbs, and De'Von Achane are all currently going within the first 22 picks of fantasy drafts.

Fantasy Football Draft Outlooks - Running Backs Who Will Bounce Back In 2024

In a previous article, I mentioned how the number of rushing attempts and efficiency declined in the 2023 season. Even though QBs struggled in 2023, every team still passed more than it ran.

Later-Round Zero RB Fantasy Football Draft Values

Draft strategies like zero running back (Zero RB) can generate uncomfortable conversations and implicit biases. Like any draft strategy, we should consider scoring and roster formats.
