We've all heard the same old time-tested fantasy adages before -- "Draft your guys," "Just pick good players on good teams," and my personal favorite, "ADP is comprised mostly by losers." While these macro strategies will generally set you on the right path directionally, not nearly enough focus goes toward a positive start. It's important […]

On August 30th, NFL teams will be required to be down to 53 players, so we'll likely see some movement in the next few days. There will be […]

Kickers are a great way to add randomness to fantasy football. It helps give inexperienced players a leg up against those who may or may not spend far too much time obsessing over the game. They're not for everyone, but it can be interesting to look at another dimension of maximizing your point totals every […]

Week 1 running back decisions can be some of the toughest calls of the season because workload, offensive roles, and game plans are still projections rather than established trends. However, there are a couple of players you don't need to overthink. If you drafted Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson, these are set-and-forget running backs who […]

Week 1 wide receiver decisions can be tricky because matchups, target competition, and offensive roles can change from season to season. However, there are a few players you don't need to overthink.

The tight end position can be one of the most frustrating spots in fantasy football. Every year, managers spend countless hours debating matchups, target shares, and touchdown upside, only to watch a random waiver-wire tight end outscore their starter. That's why elite options are so valuable. If you drafted Trey McBride or Colston Loveland, congratulations—you […]

This Border War was the longest continuous rivalry in college football history until Missouri left the Big 12 after […]

Week 2 gives us something preseason sleeper lists never can: evidence. Depth charts matter less once we have actual carries, targets, and quarterback usage.

[…]

We expected some crazy things in Week 1, but Week 1 nearly broke the internet. The officiating and "clock management" by the officials in the Big House was a black mark on the week. Whether they're right or not doesn't matter. The NCAA won't do anything about it. And just like that, Lane Kiffin wasn't […]
