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, […]

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 […]

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.

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; […]
