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 […]

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; […]

Often, fantasy football managers put too much emphasis on hitting in the first couple of rounds of their drafts.

Some carrots are just bent. Not bad, just bent. And yet, for generations, these bent carrots sat on produce shelves unwanted and unloved.

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB.

During the first half of the season, managers saw many unexpected players not only emerge as top waiver-wire picks and late-round draft steals, but also exceed expectations in major ways.
