It's wonderful to smash your early fantasy football picks, but little else compares to finding a league-winner in the rubble of those final rounds. The following 25 players tend to be available later on, with more included to cater to both shallow and deeper formats alike. While reliable depth and a steady floor can come […]

The term "dark horse" originated in 19th-century horse racing as a way to describe a contender of whom bettors or spectators knew very little. The 1800s. A time when every third person you’d meet was probably still wrestling with the notion of gravity and 60% of your news came from a mustachioed huckster traveling through […]

Kickers are a great way to add randomness to fantasy football. It helps give inexperienced players a leg up against those who may or may not spend far too much time obsessing over the game. They're not for everyone, but it can be interesting to look at another dimension of maximizing your point totals every […]

You can lose your fantasy draft in the first round, but you can't win it. That requires diving outside the top 24 at an individual position and finding hidden gems like Jaxon Smith-Njigba a year ago. Finding the formula is actually quite simple. First, we want target share -- and the higher, the better. Smith-Njigba's […]

I've pumped out a ton of articles this offseason. Check them out below; they're also all here in one spot. In those articles, you'll find a deep dive on usually five or six players, explaining exactly why I'm targeting or avoiding them in 2026: Must-Have Late-Round Picks Must-Have Mid-Round Picks Must-Have Early-Round Picks WR Breakouts […]

We're at the point in the fantasy football draft season where we won't overanalyze things. The goal is for players to remain healthy for the rest of the preseason, with signs pointing to these players being regular starters in our fantasy lineups.

The wide receiver position seems to produce excellent values, and even a few league-winners in the later rounds of drafts or even among those wideouts who aren't drafted in most fantasy football leagues. A big part of the appeal of drafting multiple running backs early in redraft leagues is that their roles are usually more […]

Defenses and special teams (D/ST) can help win weeks. Though we sometimes focus on offense, identifying potential sleepers on defense can provide spike weeks, helping fantasy managers win leagues. In redraft leagues, the playoffs matter, but we need to reach that point. One way to increase our odds of reaching the fantasy football playoffs is […]

Sure, I like playing fantasy football, but my real favorite pastime is saying that I was right all along. Fantasy preseason is rife with chances to do exactly that, provided you’re willing to take a few calculated risks. During preseason last year, I was particularly high on later-round gems like Harold Fannin Jr. (PPR TE6), […]

Breakouts win leagues. Fantasy football differs from other sports in the sense that a few players really can make-or-break your week and season. It is not like baseball, where you want to build a deep team to compete over a very long season. In football, the lineup is smaller, and the scoring is more big-play […]
