The Tennessee Titans had to accept the fact that they were no longer the kings of the AFC South after their disastrous collapse in 2022, but it took a while for them to transition into their new era during the 2023 season. The Titans tried to be competitive initially with Ryan Tannehill, but it didn't […]

The Philadelphia Eagles had one thing on their mind after Super Bowl LVII: Revenge. They came within inches of capping off a fairytale season and winning the Super Bowl, but a controversial call along with their defense folding against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs prevented that from happening. The Eagles started the season on fire, […]

The NFL regular season has come to a close and the first 18 picks are now set! As we are now into the playoffs, coaching and front-office changes are taking place around the league and those decisions could have some ripple effects on what happens on draft day. The draft order for picks 19-32 will […]

The 2023 rookie class was record-setting in numerous ways and appears to be a very deep class after one season. While most of the firepower is on the offensive side of the ball, a few rookie defenders slotted in as some of the best players in the league in year one. Anthony Richardson looked to […]

Welcome to Week 18 of the WR/CB Matchups article. Most season-long fantasy leagues are over, but there are still plenty of opportunities to play other types of contests in Week 18. The most important factor in Week 18 is which teams are playing their starters less than normal. Make sure to stay on top of […]

My IDP rankings came out just yesterday, and we already have a growing list of teams announcing they will rest players before the playoffs. The 49ers, Ravens, and Browns are all resting their quarterbacks and other key offensive stars, as we expected. However, the Rams and Chiefs have joined the fray by announcing their passers […]

Some NFL teams are looking ahead to the start of the postseason, while others are ready to move onto the offseason after being eliminated from playoff contention. Fans of struggling teams are hoping for the highest draft pick possible, so let's take a look at the current draft order. This article lists the current 2024 […]

The top asset any sports analyst can have is patience. You’re paid for thorough analysis, so don’t overreact to one good or bad game. You must be cold, calculated, and remind people that even Barry Sanders had off days. Every week, I get dozens of questions, texts, and DMs about the latest breakout player or […]

While some fanbases are looking ahead to the NFL playoffs and worrying about seeding, others have their sight set on the 2024 NFL Draft. When a team gets eliminated from playoff contention, the talks of "tanking" begins. This article lists the current 2024 NFL Draft order for every team after Week 16 of the regular […]

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'd like to address NFL disasters that were easy to see coming. While this topic deserves a full-blown article, I have just two paragraphs to fit this in. Because of that limit, I will try to be brief in my arguments. I will also write a more […]

Hard to believe the end of the College Football regular season is here and that we are just five weeks from the end of the NFL regular season. The good news is that the NFL Draft order is taking shape and it's becoming clearer that a handful of prospects have established themselves above the rest. […]

While the 2024 NFL Draft is over four months away, fanbases of teams at the bottom of the standings are surely wondering which pick their franchise could end up with when the 2023 season concludes. Teams that are in dire need of a quarterback upgrade are clamoring for a top-five selection, but some teams will […]

The end of the fantasy regular season brings with it many things. Some are good, like feelings of accomplishment or disappointment, or a merry Christmas joy that overcomes your bitter sense of failure… if you're that kind of sickeningly optimistic person. However, one negative issue that always comes around this time of year is the […]

The 2023 NFL season continues to fly along. With Week 14 now in the books, some squads are eyeing the NFL Playoffs, while others are simply playing out the remaining games of a disappointing campaign. This article lists the current 2024 NFL Draft order for every team after Week 14 of the regular season. The […]

For the select people who read the introduction to my articles, I will begin by apologizing. A severe case of COVID has limited my loquaciousness this week, meaning the one guy who prints off my articles and posts them in his work locker with hearts drawn around them will be disappointed. To you, Carl, I […]

Perspective means a lot in sports, as in many areas of life. An example of this would be Shaquille Leonard. We mention him here frequently because he remains a legend in many IDP circles. Even this year he's been a pretty productive tackler, despite limited snaps and conflicts with his team/coaching staff. So, obviously a […]

IDP managers have been hit with an onslaught of defender headlines as we hit mid-week of the Thanksgiving season. As of Tuesday, multiple impact fantasy defenders have been lost this week for various reasons. These aren’t minor losses, either. They are significant losses with long-term ramifications. Some of them we saw coming, and some we […]

Injuries in the NFL can be a tricky thing. On a purely human level, they are always bad. We don't like seeing any person get hurt. It can change their lives in innumerable ways, usually negatively. So, as human beings, we don't like to see injuries happen. However, there are occasions where injuries lead to […]

We are entering that fantasy phase where some teams must plan for next year. Some squads have been hit with injuries, others bad luck. Whatever the reason, hundreds of managers in long-term keeper or dynasty leagues have a 2-7 or 3-6 record. This leaves you with little hope of contention and the startling reality of […]

The NFL's trade deadline was again a noteworthy affair, which is thankfully becoming a regular occurrence. While the offensive moves at the deadline were limited, there were several major moves on the defensive side of the ball. That's music to many IDP managers' ears. For fantasy purposes, we saw four trades that likely impacted IDP […]

The NFL's trade deadline is fast approaching, and that is finally starting to mean something. After a near century of stagnant deadline behavior from NFL teams, we are starting to see contenders make a mid-season push with trades. It's a refreshing change of pace, even if it often results in a waste of money and […]

As we enter Week 7 of the NFL season, we are nearing the mid-point of the fantasy sleight. Thus, now is a good time to take stock of the IDP waiver landscape. Specifically, what players are woefully under-rostered in IDP leagues. To do this, we will remember that some teams have already had bye weeks, […]

In this week’s IDP rankings article, I lampooned Arthur Smith as an offensive coach who can’t score points and gets bailed out by his defense and soft schedule. Today, I'd like to touch on another offensive coach who some are giving too much credit this week. That coach is Nathaniel Hackett. While the Jets rightly […]

As we enter Week 5 and the first round of byes, it is a good time to take stock of what IDP managers could be doing better. After all, we are here to advise the masses, aren't we? One way to help IDP managers improve, especially in shallow formats, is to consider the problems with […]

Week 3 saw many usual suspects finish in the top 12 at receiver, including Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase. A few cheaper DFS standouts exceeded expectations as WR1s, including Adam Thielen, Tank Dell, and Mike Williams (featured here last week). Week 4 is another tightly priced week in DFS. Players are […]

We are now three-plus weeks into the 2023 NFL season and the draft board is starting to take shape. While it does seem unlikely that certain 0-3 teams like the Minnesota Vikings won't be this bad all year long, things are definitely not off to a great start in Chicago as the Bears also sit […]

Entering this season, IDP managers faced a down year in individual defensive player rankings. Specifically, it was a season without a clear and unquestioned top-overall defender who should be drafted before all others. Shaquille Leonard was once this type of fantasy defender, but he lost that crown to injury and competition on his own team. […]

Week 2 saw more than its fair share of breakout fantasy/DFS performances from up-and-coming receivers - Nico Collins, Puka Nacua, Josh Reynolds, and George Pickens all finished as top 12 receivers for the week despite having sub-$6,000 salaries on DraftKings. DFS pricing tends to get sharper as the season progresses. This can already be felt […]

There is one thing that new IDP managers should remember as in-season moves and injuries start to rack up. That is defensive news travels slower than offensive news does. Just think about how many alerts you got when Kareem Hunt signed, or Cam Akers was traded. These running backs couldn't find a field last week, […]

The second week of the NFL season is all about opportunity in DFS and player prop betting. Markets are still adjusting to figure out which Week 1 performances were a smokescreen and which will be indicative of what is to come. Each week we use matchup data from PFF to determine wide receivers to target […]
