Who doesn't love best ball drafts? In best ball leagues, all you do is draft, and that's it! There is no trading or waiver wire to deal with, so your team is locked in after your fantasy draft, and all you can do is sit back and watch your team win (hopefully). We're here to […]

You can lose a draft in the first couple of rounds by selecting this year's Brian Thomas Jr. You can't win a draft with those early picks. The middle rounds are where you can win the draft. Hit on those picks, and you'll have a complete, championship-contending lineup. Miss, and you'll be scrambling to find […]

Finding gold at the running back position can result in championships in fantasy football. Given how shallow the running back position is, finding one or even two RB1s will give you every advantage on Sundays. Every season there are a handful of running backs who sneak into the RB1 range despite not being drafted there. […]

Few players can earn the title of "league-winner" in fantasy football, but that select group will be the ones to crown royalty. Sometimes it boils down to investing in a scary health situation, pulling up a key rookie, or reading into a new offensive environment (coaching, talent, scheduling, etc.) that others haven't adjusted enough for. […]

He replied, "We'll never be able to replace what he was able to do […]

The Buffalo Bills' new Highmark Stadium showed signs of wear and tear before, during, and after the team's preseason opener on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers, but president Pete Guelli is not worried about the grass field. "From a playability and safety perspective, everybody's very happy," Guelli said. "It's Year 1. So it's a brand […]

Even after the Dallas Cowboys signed veteran pass-rusher Von Miller to a one-year deal on Sunday, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on Monday that he's willing to make a "substantive move to further improve the roster if one should arise," per Todd Archer of ESPN. "I think it's fair to say that if […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) is actually dealing with tightness despite speculation that he was sitting out due to contractual reasons, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. There had been plenty of recent speculation on social media that McCaffrey was holding in, but Rapoport confirmed that he is actually experiencing tightness, as […]

Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman has continued to receive praise from head coach Sean Payton, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post.

Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price (lower body) was back at training camp practice on Monday and took most of the reps, according to Seahawks reporter Brian Nemhauser. It was a non-contact session for the Seahawks on Monday, but it is still progress for the 22-year-old, who should be fully ready for the […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (knee) suffered a hyperextended knee during training camp practice on Sunday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. However, the MRI outcome is considered positive, and the 24-year-old's knee is structurally sound. Monangai will most likely miss the team's final two preseason […]

The follow-up on New York Jets running back Breece Hall's groin injury on Monday confirmed that it is a minor injury, a source told Connor Hughes of SNY. The Jets will continue to be cautious with their starting RB, but he will be out for weeks, not months. Head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Monday […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) was back at training camp practice on Monday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Benson's surgically repaired left knee flared up several weeks ago, and the Cardinals have been playing it safe with him after he played in only four games in 2025 in his second year […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) missed practice again Monday, his second straight absence after sitting out Saturday. Head coach Robert Saleh said over the weekend that Pollard was dealing with a sore foot and hoped to have him back Monday, but Pollard remained sidelined. He had played Thursday against San Francisco, running four […]

If you don't land a top tight end in traditional leagues, it can be frustrating to count on a mid-level tight end to produce enough fantasy points to make a difference for your team. But in tight end premium setups, TEs are awarded extra points for receptions and/or yards, meaning later-round tight ends are valuable […]

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson could be headed for a fairly even workload split with Rhamondre Stevenson in 2026. Chad Graff of The Athletic believes the backfield may settle close to 50-50, with Stevenson handling more early-down and short-yardage work while Henderson is used to create explosive plays. Pass protection remains the biggest […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that his starters, including running back Bucky Irving, will dress and play in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports.

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) may be headed for a featured role without becoming a true every-down back as a rookie.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) was practicing with the team at training camp on Monday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports.

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. has not exactly been handed the backfield, but his redraft case is holding up. Alvin Kamara has been getting the first call on third downs and in passing situations, while Etienne has handled most of the first-team work on early downs. That's the split that matters more […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (toe) was not practicing Monday, according to Zach Berman. Bigsby has been getting plenty of work behind Saquon Barkley during training camp and is currently listed second at running back on Philadelphia's unofficial depth chart, ahead of Will Shipley. He has also mixed in regularly with the first-team offense […]

Free-agent running back Najee Harris (Achilles) is visiting with the New York Giants on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's the third known visit for Harris this year after he worked out with the Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks earlier this spring. The Giants would be a poor fit for the 28-year-old, […]

Breakouts win leagues. Fantasy football differs from other sports in the sense that a few players really can make-or-break your week and season. It is not like baseball, where you want to build a deep team to compete over a very long season. In football, the lineup is smaller, and the scoring is more big-play […]

Kansas City Chiefs rookie fifth-round running back Emmett Johnson appears to be the clear No. 2 RB in KC in training camp behind starter Kenneth Walker, with Johnson getting the next touch after Walker in 9-on-7 drills in Monday's practice, according to Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star. Head coach Andy Reid had good […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell has the potential to be a value pick at his current ADP of 88.9.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (groin) has been diagnosed with a groin strain and will undergo further evaluation, head coach Aaron Glenn told Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Glenn noted that he doesn't believe the injury is serious. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. When Hall initially left practice, the initial reports […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving exploded as the overall RB13 during his rookie season in 2024, but as a result of injuries and workload management, he played in just 10 games last year and fell to RB34 in PPR leagues. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker consistently ate into Irving's workload last year, and […]
