On a per-game basis, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has become one of the most consistently dominant fantasy performers, though unfortunately consistency is not often a word associated with the fourth-year player. Injuries and suspension have caused Rice to miss 22 of his team's last 30 games, though he finished as a top […]

New York Giants 2025 first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart flashed plenty of fantasy upside in 2025, finishing as the QB14 on the season, throwing for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, five interceptions, while seeing 86 rush attempts for 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. He played in 14 games, and if he continues to […]

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was limited to only 12 games in 2025 as he dealt with a high-ankle sprain early in the year before breaking his fibula in Week 17. While he showed some promising flashes, whether because of his injuries or an offensive system that has not asked much of its tight […]

The Denver Broncos selected running back Jonah Coleman out of Washington in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft, and he is slated to be the team's RB3, behind J.K. Dobbins (foot), whom they just re-signed to a two-year contract, and behind RJ Harvey, whom they spent second-round draft capital on in 2025. Coleman […]

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, […]

When the Cleveland Browns take to the field for their first practice of training camp on July 31, all eyes will be on second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders as he continues to battle for the starting job with veteran Deshaun Watson. New head coach Todd Monken declined to name a starter following a minicamp setting in […]

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 […]

Running backs are perhaps the most important position to nail in fantasy drafts. Elite options are scarce, and the best backs are very consistent, providing your fantasy team with much less volatility than wide receivers. A strong running back stable can make or break your season. Given the scarcity of solid options at the position, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

It is almost time for fantasy football drafts to start. This means it is time to find out which rookies are worth taking and which ones should be left in the queue. July 6 starts the Scott Fish Bowl. It's the official start of the fantasy football season. There are 22 rounds, and many players […]

Detroit Lions second-year receiver out of Arkansas, Isaac TeSlaa, has shown impressive physical and athletic gains this offseason and is poised to be a lock as the Lions' WR3. TeSlaa flashed quite a bit of upside in his rookie campaign, hauling in 239 yards on 27 targets, 16 receptions, and six touchdowns. He averaged 14.94 […]

The 2026 NFL season is fast approaching. Fantasy football draft prep is heating up, meaning it's time to dive into my league-losing picks for the upcoming year. Last season, I listed Nico Collins, Brock Bowers, Breece Hall, Jameson Williams, and Courtland Sutton as landmines to avoid. While not all of those players were "league-losing picks," […]

Every season, some players go so late in fantasy football drafts and eventually emerge as league winners. Players like Drake Maye, Javonte Williams, Alec Pierce, and Harold Fannin Jr. were some of the late-round steals in fantasy drafts last summer. This year, more late-round steals will emerge. In this article, we'll dive into the eight […]

Is there any other player in football who has more of a monopoly on their position group than Brock Bowers in dynasty fantasy football? Bowers was viewed as one of the best, and by some analysts, the absolute best tight end prospects to enter the NFL. The young phenom set NFL records for most receiving […]

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was the WR7 in 2025, and the impression he has made on new head coach Jesse Minter is obvious. In a recent sit-down appearance on The Lounge Podcast, Minter spoke glowingly of Flowers' character before touching on his versatility and the coaching staff's plans for him in 2026. Of […]

It's so heartbreaking when you draft a fantasy football player highly, convinced that they will produce like their usual selves, and then they go on to have an extremely disappointing season. But there's always the potential for a glorious rebound. Naturally, whenever a player is coming off a down year, their fantasy value goes down, […]

The 2026 season is quickly approaching as fantasy managers gear up for their upcoming drafts. The landscape around the NFL has shifted, with several new faces on new teams or players who are simply undervalued by the consensus. In Superflex formats, these values are easier to find, with quarterbacks ranking far higher than in other […]

This article highlights five of the top rookie targets for the 2026 fantasy football season. These players stand out because of their talent, opportunity, and late-season upside, but they are not the only rookies worth drafting. Rookies can change fantasy seasons. In dynasty leagues, they are the most important selections of every rookie draft. In […]

Fantasy football is easy when you draft the right players, right? Of course, especially in the first few rounds of your drafts. These 3-4 players lay the foundation for your team's success. However, not all players in those first few rounds are "good" picks. As I always say, it's not that these players are bad; […]

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 […]

Some carrots are just bent. Not bad, just bent. And yet, for generations, these bent carrots sat on produce shelves unwanted and unloved. Then, studies began to show that consumers were more willing to purchase even the wonkiest of fruits and vegetables after simply being told that they are just as nutritious as their prettier […]
