The NFL season is a few weeks away, and fantasy football drafts have begun. Evaluating the value of players is important for fantasy managers to do before their draft. Every year, drafting a breakout player can give an edge to a fantasy football team and propel them to win the league. Wide receiver is one […]

Fantasy football is approaching fast because, well, the 2023 NFL season is right around the corner. One of the best parts about the return of football is the return of fantasy football, and with just one more slate of preseason games to go, it’s clear that fantasy owners are beginning to plot out their strategies […]

With drafts quickly approaching, it’s important to have a clear cut strategy beforehand, as you need to know who you are going to pick depending on the myriad […]

Kickers: we all know them and we all love them. While kickers may not be the flashiest players in the world, a good one can make a world of difference for any team. The same is true in the realm of fantasy football, perhaps to an even greater degree. With the season just around the […]

Ranking the top fantasy football rookies for the 2023 season is more about opportunity than it is about pure talent or even fit. While a best fantasy football rookie list may include future projections or dynasty value, this list will be solely for redraft fantasy football leagues in 2023 only. Which fantasy football rookies can […]

Gone are the times where running backs dominated the first round of your fantasy football drafts, replaced by an influx of top-tier wide receivers. With players like Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase sitting near the top of your drafts, this year certainly looks to be one of those years dominated by early receivers. This fantasy […]

Ranking the top-10 fantasy football defenses for the 2023 season is as much an exercise of projecting bad offenses as it is picking talented defensive units. While turnovers and defensive touchdowns can be hard to predict, these 10 defenses should be prioritized in drafts due to strength of schedule and ability to consistently put pressure […]

One of the hardest positions to predict in fantasy football is often tight ends. After Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce, the drop-off at the position is immense, and after the top four or five TEs, it feels like five through 20 are almost indiscernible. Finding a consistent tight end late in the draft can […]

Fantasy football is like a game of chess, and one of the most important chess pieces is the quarterback. You know, the guy who throws the ball and makes things happen on the field. Now, there are some big-name quarterbacks that everyone knows will score you points. But guess what? There are also some hidden […]

Andrew Luck probably isn’t returning to the NFL. He’s only 33-years old and shockingly announced his retirement at a fairly young age, but the former Indianapolis Colts star QB hasn’t played in the league since 2018. That said, Luck has not only resurfaced in fantasy football, but is reportedly trending upwards, per Sleeper on Twitter. What […]

There is no other way to put this – the Arizona Cardinals will be pretty tough to watch to start the 2023 NFL season. With Kyler Murray still on his ACL recovery and Jonathan Gannon entering his first year as head coach, the offense likely will fall on James Conner’s shoulders, which could mean gold […]

There were plenty of heartbreakers in the 2023 fantasy football season, but few cut quite as deep as Michael Thomas. While Jonathan Taylor’s tough year can be chalked up to some bad luck, nobody was fooled by the New Orleans Saints wide receiver’s injury-ridden campaign. We all knew better and yet still believed that remnants […]

There is always one or two players who are unfairly undervalued in fantasy football drafts due to the uncertainty or downright ineptitude of their offense. Remember one important thing, though. Somebody has to catch the ball, even on an abysmal team. Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was that guy last year with a […]

Let the groaning begin. You know why you’re here. One does not venture into a Mike Williams fantasy football article without looking for pain. Though, you also know the upside that comes with the 6-foot-4 red-zone target. And that is the double-edged sword of drafting the Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver. But it might be […]

After a strong rookie year, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones took a step back in 2022. Jones finished second in AP Offensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2021 behind only the 1,455 receiving yards of Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase. The Patriots passer led all rookie quarterbacks with 22 touchdowns and a passer […]

Football season is around the corner, and fantasy football mock drafts have begun. It’s time for fantasy managers to prepare for their drafts and evaluate where players should be selected. Chris Olave is coming off a great rookie campaign and is one of the top fantasy wide receivers this season. The New Orleans Saints have […]

The Seattle Seahawks were in a very nice position last year at the wide receiver spot with big and powerful DK Metcalf and explosive Tyler Lockett. Both receivers had impactful seasons, and much of that was due to the unexpected success of quarterback Geno Smith. Prior to last season, Smith had endured a career of […]

The New England Patriots have made a big change during the 2023 NFL offseason. They signed former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott for one year. The contract is worth as much as $6 million. This news has gotten a lot of people talking, especially those who love fantasy football. They’re curious about how this […]

Quarterbacks, wide receivers and the passing game are more valuable than ever before in the NFL. That means more and more teams are loading up on pass catchers, and it makes for some very interesting and exciting offenses from which to draft fantasy football stars. Here are three teams with multiple elite playmakers for your […]

Brandin Cooks begins a stint with his fifth NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, in 2023. The Cowboys traded for Cooks in March, sending a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 sixth to the Houston Texans. That’s a great trade for a receiver who has six 1,000 yard seasons in four different offenses. Some see Cooks’ journey […]

Mike Evans is a model of consistency at the wide receiver position. No questions about it, he’s on a Hall of Fame trajectory. In nine seasons, Evans has amassed 683 receptions for well over 10,000 yards and 81 touchdowns, and he’s still just 29 years old. He’s a four-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl […]

Tyler Lockett has long been one of the most overlooked and underrated players in the NFL. A 3-star recruit out of high school, Lockett played four seasons at Kansas State and entered the NFL as a third-round draft pick. He quickly became a safety blanket for former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and an All-Pro […]

The Minnesota Vikings picked Jordan Addison out of USC in the first round of the NFL Draft because of his speed, route-running prowess and post-catch playmaking ability. In his sophomore year at Pitt, Addison won the Biletnikoff Award as the most productive receiver in college football, and he followed it up with a strong, but […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has proven that he’s one of the most talented wideouts in the league, but will all the target competition on the 49ers cap his fantasy football outlook for the 2023 NFL season? It’s a tricky situation for fantasy players to evaluate, as Aiyuk will have to deal with […]

Heading into his 11th professional season, wide receiver Keenan Allen has only made it a full season twice, with the most recent occurrence happening in 2021. With the Los Angeles Chargers looking to find a new gear for their offense in 2023, can Allen be counted on for a full role, a role that can […]

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet was a pleasant fantasy football surprise in 2022 for those willing to stick with him throughout the season. After not earning a single point through the first two weeks, Kmet caught seven touchdowns, helping him finish eighth in fantasy points among tight ends in PPR leagues. With quarterback Justin […]

The Denver Broncos did not have the 2022 season that they were hoping for, and on an individual level, that was also true for budding star running back Javonte Williams. After a breakout rookie campaign that saw him snatch away the starting running back job from Melvin Gordon, Williams tore his ACL in Week 4 […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has a bright fantasy football outlook for the 2023 season in an incredibly high-powered offense as the presumed starter in Buffalo’s backfield. Cook is a dangerous receiver out of the backfield, can rip off big plays with explosive speed, averaged 5.7 yards per carry as a rookie, and has […]

After three injury-plagued seasons, Baltimore Ravens running back JK Dobbins — as well as fantasy football owners — will hope that 2023 is the year that the gifted running back breaks through as a true lead back in Baltimore for a full season. On limited carries in eight games last year, Dobbins averaged 65 rushing […]

One of the most unexpected moves in recent NFL history came in March 2022, when the Miami Dolphins traded for Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins acquired Hill in exchange for five draft picks: first, second, and fourth-round picks in 2022, plus fourth and sixth-round picks in the 2023 draft. The […]

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was punished by the NFL for his role in a 2022 fight in Las Vegas. The league suspended Kamara for three games, and this action will clearly have an impact on his status with the Saints and Fantasy Football for the upcoming season. Prior to the the ruling […]

It’s not just about finding the Fantasy Football players that will serve as dynamic pillars for your team. Of course you want the best players that fit your team’s needs and will be available in the appropriate round of your draft. But it’s just as important — if not more so — to avoid players […]

Fantasy managers are preparing for their upcoming fantasy football leagues as the NFL season approaches. It’s important for fantasy managers to prepare for their draft by evaluating what players’ situations are like and where they should go in the draft. Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is an interesting player to value. The Packers […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne enjoyed a strong first season in the NFL in 2022 after missing his entire rookie year due to injury. But expectations for Etienne are even higher in 2023, as Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson recently outlined while speaking to the media on Wednesday. Pederson said that the “next step” […]

All eyes are on the AFC East and the New York Jets as they head into Year 1 with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback. With Garrett Wilson leading the way at wide receiver, your fantasy football rosters should benefit from this QB-WR pairing. With Zach Wilson firmly in the backseat after a disastrous start to […]

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce was one of the best rookies in the NFL last season, but a breakout fantasy football year could still be ahead in what should be a vastly improved Texans offense this season. Pierce, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Florida, took over as Houston’s bell-cow back after Week 2 […]

After earning First Team All-Pro honors and finishing second in AP Offensive Player of the Year voting in 2021, Jonathan Taylor had a down year in 2022. Injuries limited the young running back to just 11 games, as he rushed for 861 yards and four touchdowns. Then in a tumultuous off-season, Taylor requested a trade […]
