There’s a new sheriff in Los Angeles. Following his trade from the Detroit Lions, quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to get the Rams over the hump this year in place of Jared Goff.

Entering the league known more for his speed and elusiveness than his abilities as a wide receiver, the New York Giants (after moving down in a trade) decided to add to their wide receiver core by selecting Florida’s Kadarius Toney. Adding Toney to an offensive core that already includes Saquon Barkley, Daniel Jones, and offseason […]

Relying on Jalen Reagor and Travis Fulgham certainly is not cutting it for the wide receiver core for the Philadelphia Eagles, making their selection of Alabama wideout DeVonta Smith in the first round an easy route to take. For head coach Nick Sirianni, pairing a former Crimson Tide wide receiver in Smith with a former […]

Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals is coming off a rookie campaign in which he suffered a horrific left knee injury.

As the leader of the Cleveland Browns and their run-heavy offense, quarterback Baker Mayfield has an interesting outlook in fantasy football.

During the 2021 NFL Draft, not many people expected the Chicago Bears to wind up with star quarterback Justin Fields.

Just […]

Heading into 2021, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is one of fantasy’s most polarizing players. Despite missing a combined 17 games over the last two seasons due to injury, Barkley is still being drafted at an ADP of 6 (RB5) on ESPN Fantasy as of August 7th. On the flip side, there’s a […]

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has constantly proven his top-tier status as each NFL season passes. Fantasy football owners can appreciate this. His unreal athleticism makes him dangerous all over the field, far and wide. His strength comes into play for numerous situations, such as run-blocking, pass-blocking and contested catches. His speed is […]

New Orleans Saints’ very own Michael Thomas was once considered one of the best wide receivers to play in the NFL. His sticky hands allow him to beat any defender. His strength is something to be reckoned with. Most of all, he is a short route running master. Known as “slant boy” to many, he […]

The Buffalo Bills had one of the best offenses in the league last year and that expanded into fantasy football. Stefon Diggs slept on heading into fantasy drafts prior to the start of the 2020 NFL Season. However, after his impressive campaign with Josh Allen under center, expectations are high for Stefon Diggs’ fantasy football […]

A look at the final results of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s 2020 season reveals a disappointing campaign – maybe even evidence of a step lost due to the heavy volume he’s carried since the start of his career. Zeke missed only one start, yet still failed to reach 1,000 rushing and make the […]

Green Bay Packers‘ wide receiver Davante Adams had a monster season in 2020, as, despite missing 2 full games, he paced all receivers in touchdowns and was top 5 in receiving yards, en route to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection and first All-Pro First Team selection. And, with future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers back […]

Despite his low involvement in the passing game, the Tennessee Titans’ […]

After many rumors swirled in the offseason, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has returned. Rodgers will look to build upon his MVP season with another great season, a point of interest for fantasy football players. It was a career year for Rodgers, but he fell just one game short of the Super Bowl for […]

Darren Waller is coming off of two stellar seasons in which he finished top 3 at the tight end position. Waller, who came into the NFL as a wide receiver, has become almost a fantasy cheat code at the oft-barren TE position. As he and the Las Vegas Raiders head into the 2021 campaign having […]

If you played fantasy football at all during last year’s 2020 campaign, you’d remember that Dak Prescott set the fantasy football world on fire for the first 5 weeks of the season, as he was on pace to shatter the all-time single-season passing yards record, before suffering a compound ankle fracture in a Week 5 […]

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was a key cog in the team’s 2020 season, which saw them finish with an 11-5 record and ultimately ended an 18-year playoff drought. Even though they came up short against the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and […]

Josh Allen is coming off a career year in which he led the Buffalo Bills to the AFC Championship Game. Allen, a fantasy football star, finished second in NFL MVP voting this past season, only trailing Aaron Rodgers. The Bills brought in superstar wide receiver Stefon Diggs before the 2020 season, which was a big […]

Tyreek Hill’s status as one the most explosive athletes in the NFL continued throughout the 2020 season.

As the No. 1 receiving threat for the dominant Kansas City Chiefs, he […]

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce exceeded expectations once again as he concluded yet another stellar campaign for the 2020 season. However, even with his massive contributions on the field,  the Chiefs still came up short in their Super Bowl LV tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Heading to the 2021 season, Kelce […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are led offensively by quarterback Justin Herbert, who had a tremendous rookie campaign.

Pro Bowl center Corey Linsley was brought in via free agency, and the Chargers drafted offensive tackle Rashawn Slater in […]

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson comes into the upcoming 2021-2022 NFL season with plenty of expectations. In a campaign last season where many projected that the Seahawks would pull off a deep playoff run in the NFC, they fell short of fulfilling such expectations following their 2021 NFC Wild Card elimination at the hands of […]

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are set up for yet another big year.

After having a stellar breakout season in 2019, Carolina Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey failed to replicate the same success in 2020 as he has been bugged by a high ankle sprain and a season-ending shoulder injury. Despite having a tough year, the former Stanford talent has already recovered from his injuries and is […]

The ageless wonder that is Tom Brady will be competing in his 22nd season in the NFL. At 43 years old, Brady seems to be on pace to play through the age of 45, as that is his current goal. Last year, Brady proved that he doesn’t need Bill Belichick to win Super Bowls. He […]

Now approaching the midway point of the NFL season, it’s fair to say that you have a good idea of how to evaluate certain players in fantasy football. There are players who haven’t even scratched the surface in terms of production, and there are players who have overstayed their welcome at the top of the […]

The quarterback is one of the most interesting positions in fantasy football. They undoubtedly get the most points throughout the season, however, the good ones don’t get drafted until the later rounds. The mock draft from Fantasy Pros had Patrick Mahomes as the 23rd best player in fantasy as the QB1. Mahomes will probably finish […]

The fantasy football season is going to rely more and more on wide receivers if the passing dominated trend in the NFL continues. In PPR leagues especially, wide receivers are one of the most, if not the most, important pieces for building a champion. Although the fantasy trade deadlines aren’t usually for a few weeks,  […]

This fantasy football season has definitely been a lot different to what we are accustomed to. There have been COVID-19 exemptions keeping players out, games postponed, players injured an absurd amount, and there was a Tuesday Night Football game. Seems almost too hard to believe. One constant in the fantasy football season, however, is the […]

Running backs are the position that fantasy football drafters — if they are trying to win their league championship — are hitting early and hitting the hardest.
