Christian McCaffrey is one of the most unpredictable players when it comes to fantasy football. He seems to alternate years between being the best running back in the sport and being stuck in street clothes because of injuries. Last year, the San Francisco 49ers star dealt with the latter half of that equation despite being […]

Drafting rookies in fantasy football is always a risk. After all, there is no way to truly know how prospects will translate to the NFL game until they actually play at the professional level. Any young player can become a star, but becoming a draft bust is just as likely. The 2025 NFL Draft saw […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are always aggressive when it comes to adding talent to their big-league roster. They were relatively modest at the 2025 trade deadline, though. Just last year, the team added Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez, Tyler Glasnow, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, all of whom helped Los Angeles win the World Series. After winning the […]

Jayden Daniels was made the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders. He immediately burst onto the scene with one of the best rookie performances in NFL history, and it translated to lots of fantasy football success. Some quarterbacks have a sophomore slump, while others take the next leap […]

Derrick Henry is a running back anomaly. The Baltimore Ravens star is 6-foot-3, 247 pounds. He doesn’t provide much in the passing game, but nobody wants to get in front of him when he is carrying the football. Henry exceeded a lot of expectations in his first season on a Ravens team that has a […]

Saquon Barkley became just the ninth player ever in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards during the 2024 season. This came in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles. During his tenure with the New York Giants, fantasy football managers never knew when they drafted Barkley if they were going to get one of […]

It was a little bit unclear what the San Diego Padres would do at the 2025 MLB trade deadline. Reports suggested that they’d consider trading Dylan Cease. Instead, they held on to their ace and made a surplus of deals to improve the roster for a title push this season. The team made a deal […]

The 2025 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and the Houston Astros emerged as one of the biggest winners from deadline day. They earned an A+ trade deadline grade after adding Jesus Sanchez and Ramon Urias, and most importantly, making a trade to reunite with Carlos Correa. Correa was a key figure in turning […]

Justin Jefferson has thrived, regardless of who is passing him the football. He has put up big numbers when all of Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold, Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullins, or Jaren Hall were throwing him the pigskin. Still, fantasy football managers are questioning whether or not Jefferson will be his usual dominant self with a […]

The tight end landscape has quickly changed in fantasy football. For years, Travis Kelce was the best player at his position, and fantasy football managers had to draft him quickly or risk being stuck with a tight end that likely wouldn’t rack up many fantasy points. A number of tight ends emerged as stars in […]

Bijan Robinson was drafted eighth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. In the years leading up to his arrival in the NFL, teams were hesitant to draft running backs early in the first round. That is, if they were willing to select a ball-carrier in the first round at all. Robinson has helped change the […]

Ja’Marr Chase is widely regarded as the No. 1 or No. 2 receiver in the NFL and one of the very best football players overall. While Justin Jefferson also has a claim as the top pass catcher in football, Chase is the undisputed top receiver when it comes to fantasy football ahead of the 2025 […]

The Denver Nuggets had one of the best offseasons in the NBA. The Nuggets swapped out Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson, a player who’s a similarly effective shooter but brings more on defense and as a playmaker. They also signed Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown in free agency to take on big roles […]

The 2025 MLB trade deadline has come and gone. As is always the case, deadline day was filled with deals being made left and right, both big and small. Certain teams added players to gear up for a playoff push, while others sold off veteran talent in order to boost the team’s farm system and […]

The New York Mets are slated to go all-in for a World Series push at the 2025 MLB trade deadline. They have already made moves to improve their bullpen with separate trades for Gregory Soto and Tyler Rogers, but reports suggest that they aren’t done yet.

The Toronto Blue Jays have been the surprise team of MLB this season. With a 63-46 record, the Blue Jays have the second most wins in baseball, so they are in a prime position to contend for the World Series. The Blue Jays haven’t made the Fall Classic since they won back-to-back titles in 1992 […]

The San Francisco Giants made the biggest trade of the year, long before trade season picked up, when they dealt for Rafael Devers. Unfortunately, Devers and his new team have struggled since the move. The struggles could force the Giants into another big trade before the 2025 MLB trade deadline. Even though Devers can play […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have a talented but older roster. Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto, Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Nick Castellanos are all offensive stars who are among the best players in baseball, but they are all on the wrong side of age 30. The same can be said about pitchers Aaron Nola and Zach Wheeler. […]

The Houston Astros are no strangers to success. Last season was their first since 2017 in which they didn’t make it to at least the ALCS, if not the World Series. The team is 60-47 and atop the American League West standings this year, and they are ready to return to making another deep playoff […]

Last season, the Baltimore Orioles were one of the busiest teams ahead of the trade deadline. They made buyers moves to add veteran pieces around a young core of offensive weapons ready to contend for the World Series. The team traded for a great reliever in Gregory Soto, and they made another deal for Austin […]

The Denver Broncos are set up for success in 2025. The team hadn’t made the postseason once after their Super Bowl 50 win until last season when Bo Nix emerged as the franchise’s savior. While the quarterback was impressive as a rookie, it was still the defense that led the way. Denver’s defense led the league […]

The saying goes that defense wins championships. Explosive offenses get all the attention, but it was proven last season that faring well in NFL defensive rankings is uber important. The Cincinnati Bengals had arguably the best offense in the league, and they didn’t even make the playoffs. Defenses around the NFL will look a whole […]

The Harper family is becoming quite the powerhouse in basketball. Of course, it is Dylan Harper who is most in the spotlight right now.

The greatest UFC fighter ever, Jon Jones, recently retired from MMA. While the man nicknamed Bones ended his career as the Heavyweight Champion, he spent the vast majority of his career fighting at light heavyweight.

A lot happens in the football world during the NFL offseason. Of course, NFL teams build up their rosters through free agency and the NFL Draft. Teams then return to on-field work during rookie minicamps, OTAs, and mandatory minicamps. However, it is training camp that unofficially kicks off the new season. Training camp is just […]

The Boston Celtics made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they traded Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons. The move was necessary for the Celtics because they wanted to get under the second apron. Although Simons is a great scorer and a much younger player than Holiday, it doesn’t appear that Boston has […]

The 2025 NBA offseason has been full of blockbuster moves. One such shocking trade saw the Memphis Grizzlies send Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for four first-round picks, a first-round pick swap, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Cole Anthony. Another jaw-dropper occurred when the Boston Celtics traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee […]

The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics have undergone massive roster changes built on foundational philosophical changes in their organization. The Magic knew they needed shooting, so they went out and traded for Desmond Bane and drafted Jase Richardson, both of whom are elite 3-point shooters. The Celtics, meanwhile, have been getting their finances in check […]

NBA Free agency has been far from normal this offseason. The Brooklyn Nets came into the offseason as the only team with cap space, and with so little money to go around, there are still a number of great players available on the open market despite the fact that the negotiation period opened up back on […]

The first wave of NBA free agency has come and gone. While the majority of big-money moves have already been made, there are still a lot of talented players left on the open market.
