Second Year NFL Players Set To Break Out In 2023: Fantasy Football Sleepers

New blood enters the NFL, and old legends enter the broadcast booth every year. But not every rookie hits in their first go. Some never get much of a chance to play. Others are hampered by injury.

2023 Fantasy Football WRs to Prioritize in PPR, But Fade in Standard Leagues

Some people play in standard (non-PPR) fantasy football leagues, some play in half-PPR leagues, and some play in full-PPR leagues. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, but what's more important is identifying the players who best fit each type of league. Deep-ball specialists like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Christian Watson have greater value in standard […]

Running Back Stat Busts and Sleepers- Elusiveness

We recently featured an article on running back busts and sleepers based on missed forced tackles. Building from that data, we're taking it up a notch, focusing on elusiveness, which goes beyond missed forced tackles to offer an in-depth assessment of talent and performance.

Running Back Fantasy Football Fallers - Yardage Regression Candidates

Oftentimes, fantasy football managers weigh a player's fantasy value based on their performance from the previous season.

Fantasy Football – Are You In or Out on JK Dobbins?

J.K. Dobbins may just be one of the hardest fantasy football players to evaluate for the 2023 NFL season. There are so many factors to consider and it’s hard to know how any one of them are going to play out, much less all of them. Fantasy managers will need to consider his significant knee […]

Fading Tyler Lockett Is A Mistake: Does The Best Seahawks WR Have The Lowest ADP?

Last year I was out on the Seahawks' passing game. After trading their franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, I thought the passing game was sure to decrease. While I did think Geno Smith was better than Drew Lock, I did not think Smith would throw for more yards than Wilson ever did. […]

Should You Draft Tank Dell For Your 2023 Fantasy Football Teams?

Nathaniel "Tank" Dell may be one of the most challenging players to assess this year for fantasy football. On the one hand, his production in his last two years at Houston is absolutely off the charts. However, his miniature stature causes a lot of pauses regarding how productive he can be in the NFL. Since […]

Is There Cause for Concern With Davante Adams? 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Davante Adams has long been a fantasy football star. For years, he was the consensus WR1 in green and gold catching passes from a four-time MVP and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.

Zach Evans Fantasy Football Profile - NFL Rookie Sleeper

The Los Angeles backfield has been unsettled and wide-open since Todd Gurley left town. Fantasy managers have grown through stints of Darrell Henderson Jr. and the return of Cam Akers.

Jayden Reed Fantasy Football Profile - 2023 NFL Rookies and Sleepers

The Green Bay Packers have not drafted a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2002 when they selected Javon Walker and that trend wasn't broken this year.

Fantasy Football ADP Report: FFPC Dynasty Startup Draft Trends

Most seasonal fantasy leagues hold their drafts in the summer. Naturally, participants want to see how preseason player news and trends affect their strategies and outlooks before drafting. For those who play in dynasty leagues, though, the focus is on the longer term, and that means the drafting windows open earlier. Once the NFL Draft […]

Former University of Texas running back Roschon Johnson was a strong recruit, rating as a four-star prospect in the 2019 class according to the 247Sports Composite.

The NFL Draft is the best part of the offseason, but free agency and the trade market also play a critical role in teams' efforts to improve their rosters. Now, let’s look at the top five stars […]

Dynasty Price Check - Tee Higgins

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins has the talent to be a top receiving option on many NFL teams and showed it last season. When Ja'Marr Chase missed four games in the middle of the season, Higgins caught 26 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns while drawing the opponents' top cornerbacks. Higgins' rookie contract expires […]

Rashee Rice NFL Rookie Profile - Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Outlook

Southern Methodist University wide receiver Rashee Rice was considered a quality prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Jonathan Mingo Fantasy Football Profile - NFL Rookie Sleeper

As the NFL draft inched closer, one of the biggest climbers was Jonathan Mingo.

Fantasy Football Tight End Risers and Fallers - Yardage Regression Candidates

If only NFL players performed exactly as they should, am I right? And I'm not talking about our own personal projections because that's incredibly subjective. Some fantasy managers might love Dalton Schultz, some may not. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about hindsight performance. Such as, if this player has 100 targets, we'd […]

Luke Musgrave Fantasy Football Profile - NFL Rookie Sleeper

By now, we all know the drill. The Green Bay Packers are not going to use a first-round pick on a pass-catcher. It hasn’t happened since the Packers selected Javon Walker in 2002. However, that didn’t stop the Packers from adding a couple of new pass-catchers for Jordan Love in the second round. With their […]

Marvin Mims Fantasy Football Profile: 2023 NFL Rookies and Sleepers

Former Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims was a four-star recruit (247 Sports) out of high school in the state of Texas, but landed at Oklahoma -- the school that had just produced Marquise Brown and CeeDee Lamb in back-to-back draft classes.
