It's usually pretty easy to find players that you like for the upcoming season and provide all the reasons why fantasy managers should draft those players. But writing about which players to fade can be a bit more challenging. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly some things to like about the players that I'm […]

Every NFL season, there are a handful of players who do special things around the league. Cooper Kupp's 2021 Triple Crown, Saquon Barkley's 2024 2,000-yard season, and Peyton Manning's 2013 5,000-yard season all come to mind. Those are performances that will live in infamy forever and were not predictive. Those aforementioned season-long performances are indicative […]

Josh Allen has owned the quarterback position in fantasy for the last several years. He has finished as the QB1 or QB2 for six straight seasons. An impressive streak, to say the least. He is virtually untouchable because of his unbelievable rushing touchdown volume and elite passing skills. However, there tends to be a rotating […]

Throwing for 4,000 yards is the standard for upper-echelon quarterbacks in the NFL. Much like 1,000-yard seasons are the standard for running backs and wide receivers, 4,000-yard seasons from quarterbacks are indicative of a solid-to-great season. Players such as Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes II, and Josh Allen regularly achieve the feat. Behind them is often […]

We are one step closer to real football with preseason games and training camps in full effect, which means fantasy football is right around the corner … we’ve made it, people.

The process for identifying rebound candidates involves examining players who underperformed or were inefficient. It could be for various reasons, like an injury, the offensive environment, or small samples. These potential rebound candidates fit those molds. When other players rise, some may fall, including ones on their own teams. It can be tricky to figure […]

Let's start this article with an immediate peek behind the curtain. My must-draft, my guys, league-winners, whatever vernacular you use, have changed again and again. Rough draft after rough draft. And it's not because of indecisiveness. The rash of preseason injuries -- from Emeka Egbuka's toe to Luther Burden III's groin to Tucker Kraft's snap […]

As much as I love talking about all my favorite draft-day sleepers and targets, in this article I will be selecting five overvalued wide receivers who fantasy managers should avoid. All these wide receivers are solid talents, but they come with significant risk at average draft position (ADP). Sometimes it's the offensive environment, the quarterback, […]

Late-round running backs aren’t fillers. They’re calculated shots at players who have a realistic path to becoming 200-, 250-, or even 300-touch contributors, with the best late-round targets often checking more than one box. When evaluating backup running backs, I’m looking for four specific categories that create that path: the 1B/standalone value back, the ambiguous […]

Hey RotoBallers! The kicker position is often the most frustrating position in fantasy.

In this piece, we […]

Everyone is looking for the next great rookie to carry them to victory in fantasy football leagues. Unfortunately, the odds of a rookie player taking some time to adjust and failing to hit the ground running in year one are much, much higher. Situations matter the most for a rookie player. If a player has […]

Breakouts win fantasy football leagues. A couple of middle-round picks who perform like top options or later-round picks who become every-week starters transform teams and seasons. In other sports, you may shoot to build a safe, deep team. In football, the lineup is smaller, and the scoring is more big-play reliant. Hitting on one of […]

There have been years when I've chased the top tier of elite "Konami code" quarterbacks in the early rounds. This is not going to be one of those years.
