Over the first half, managers have seen many top prospects earn the call to the majors and make an impact, like Pittsburgh's Konnor Griffin and New York's A.J. Ewing. In this piece, we will look at three of the hottest prospects in the entire minor leagues, including two surging hitters who have recently earned the […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is the first major injury to fall in training camp, which immediately shakes up his fantasy value. Pearsall didn't miss a single game in his collegiate career due to injury, but his path to fantasy football relevance has been rocky, and the latest injury further complicates his outlook. […]

Rookies are some of the most important players in fantasy football. In dynasty leagues, they drive rookie drafts and shape the future of a roster.

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, […]

Multiple factors should determine the viability of incorporating a Zero RB approach as you consider strategies to address the position in upcoming drafts.

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.

This means in a 12-team league, only 30 percent of the teams will […]

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; […]

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, […]

In this column, we're going to dive into each NHL team's worst free agent signing of all-time. So, without further ado, let's get right into it. […]

The term league-winner will be tossed around during the fantasy football offseason. Sometimes, it's a buzzy term that we can overuse. However, when we think of league-winning players, we should consider those that we wish we had on our rosters. Some of these wide receivers had down seasons last year, so it's a chance to […]
