Injuries can ruin careers in professional sports. Often, players are beyond productive when on the field but see their opportunities significantly hindered by injuries. In this ranking, we will name one player from each team who has either seen the "prime" of their career limited or the longevity of their career hindered due to serious […]

Every year, some veterans excel and shock fantasy football managers. Some veterans are expected to thrive, but disappoint those same managers. Let us look at some of these candidates for the 2026 fantasy football season as we head into our drafts. We will look at four players who should be considered targets, and four more […]

The resurgence of running backs in fantasy football was clear in 2025 and will have a major impact on fantasy football managers in 2026. However, NFL teams have also gotten better (and smarter) at splitting their backfields to keep players fresh and maximize efficiency. Identifying and attacking those edges is a way for fantasy managers […]

The last thing a fantasy football general manager wants is a running back who racks up yards between the 20-yard lines but hands the scoring opportunities inside the red zone off to a tailback teammate who eventually scores all the touchdowns. Rushing yards are a huge help, especially in leagues that give you bonuses when […]

I'll admit that I'm slower to get into my fantasy football headspace than some folks. I cover basketball and baseball, too, and therefore I'm less glued to every offseason NFL transaction, combine video, or blurb about coaching tendencies and playing time speculation. But every year Netflix releases the newest season of "Quarterback" just in time […]

Often, fantasy football managers put too much emphasis on hitting in the first couple of rounds of their drafts. While it is important to avoid early round busts, it’s nearly impossible to be crowned a champion without a little late-round help. With June now behind us, all 32 teams will begin their training camps in […]

There is always some value to find at the running back position in the middle rounds. Whether you are looking for a high-upside running back or a serviceable RB2 after the first few rounds, there are always running backs who emerge as sleepers. Last year, Javonte Williams, Jaylen Warren, Quinshon Judkins, and Travis Etienne Jr. […]

Summer is in full swing. Hopefully you’re making the most of it and have enjoyed a few trips and grilled a few hot dogs along the way. As summer moves along, that means NFL training camps and preseason games are now just a few weeks away. It also means fantasy football drafts will be here […]

What was once a dying breed in fantasy football is having a rebirth after 10 different running backs finished the 2025 season with 300 or more touches, with Christian McCaffrey leading the way with 413 touches in the regular season, the most since 2014 when DeMarco Murray had 449 touches with the Dallas Cowboys. The […]

Every year, there are a handful of players who put up video game numbers. At times each season, it feels like if you do not have one of those players, you are not going to win. Everyone is chasing those players who can truly lap the competition at their position, like what Trey McBride did […]

Every fantasy manager wants to draft the new and exciting young players. It's why Marvin Harrison Jr. had a first-round ADP in his rookie season. It's why Ashton Jeanty had a first-round ADP in his rookie season last year. It's why Jeremiyah Love is being taken in the first two rounds of fantasy drafts this […]

It can be hard to move on from players who have served dynasty fantasy managers well for a long period of time. We regularly see veterans continue to produce meaningful numbers season-long or at least have a few good games that remind us of the upside they once had. But depending on your bench size, […]

One draft strategy I hear often is to make sure you draft “Your Guys.” In the small chance you don’t know what “Your Guys” or “My Guy” are, they are the players that you are especially high on and are willing to target more aggressively than consensus. In layman’s terms, players you may reach for […]

The 2026 NFL season may still be a few months away, but there's no better time than the present to prepare for your redraft fantasy football leagues.

If you're set to play in a PPR league soon, you have come to the best place for your predraft preparation! Wide receivers and tight ends receive big boosts in PPR setups, but picking a stable of productive running backs before the draft dries up at the RB spot is key. Deciding between players with […]

In this article, we'll cover the top 300 players for preseason drafts. As always, running backs are king in standard leagues, but like in any format, you need […]

No fantasy football leagues are won because of which players fantasy managers draft in the first, second, or third rounds. Championships are won because of the golden gems drafted in the late rounds -- and I am not talking about kickers. It is easy for fantasy footballers to draft the likes of Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson, […]

The 2025 rookie class of running backs generated considerable excitement throughout the fantasy community surrounding their entrance into the NFL. Enthusiasm surged due to the exceptional depth within this talented class, as a group of these newcomers appeared destined to deliver sustained value to managers who selected them during the 2025 draft season. One year later, […]

Drafting the right tight end for your fantasy football squad is never easy. Unlike QBs, RBs, and WRs, you don't see many TEs scoring over 20 points in a week. In fact, 2020 Travis Kelce (20.9 PPR points per game) is the only tight end to average over 20.0 PPR points per game over the […]
