The time all football fans have been waiting for is almost here. The 2025 NFL season is right around the corner, with training camps and the preseason underway. However, that also means that fantasy football managers are doing their due diligence as their drafts approach. Every season, there are several breakout players who get drafted […]

The 2024 NFL Draft class was stacked with rookies who thrived on the field and put up huge fantasy football numbers. There were six first-round quarterbacks, and Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, Drake Maye, and Michael Penix Jr. all made big impacts during their first seasons. Malik Nabers also broke the rookie record for […]

Many fantasy football managers devalue the quarterback position. There tends to be more talent that could be found late in drafts at the quarterback position than there is at other positions. Last year, for example, 20 different signal-callers surpassed 200 fantasy points, whereas only 12 running backs and three receivers did that in standard fantasy […]

The 2025 NFL season is nearly upon us. That means fantasy football managers can rejoice, knowing it is the most exciting time of year. It is time to draft a winner and show your friends what fantasy supremacy looks like. For nearly two decades, the running back position was the bell cow of fantasy football. […]

The tight end position used to be incredibly thin in fantasy football. If managers didn’t get Travis Kelce or George Kittle early in drafts, they were usually stuck with players at the position that wouldn’t score very many points. That is no longer the case. A tight end revival has restocked the talent at the […]

With the start of the season just weeks away, starting to determine your draft plans now will help set you apart from your leaguemates. To kick off ClutchPoints’ positional rankings, let’s take a deep dive into the […]

The MLB playoff races are heating up, which means your fantasy baseball playoffs are around the corner. After a wild trade deadline and volatile August, there are teams way out of the mix. But that does not mean there are not players to consider on the Colorado Rockies or the Chicago White Sox. The fantasy […]

Alvin Kamara has long been one of the best running backs in fantasy football, especially in PPR leagues. Many have expected regression out of the pass-catching back for years now, but even at age 30, he is still going strong. Kamara’s New Orleans Saints don’t have a pretty outlook for their upcoming season, but can […]

The Houston Texans went into last season with what many thought would be the best receiving corps in football and a quarterback primed to break out and win MVP. C.J. Stroud experienced a sophomore slump, though, and Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Stefon Diggs struggled with injuries. Dell will miss the 2025 season, and Diggs […]

Travis Hunter is a football anomaly. The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner was named the best player in college football because he was a full-time two-way player, which isn’t something that had been done in decades. At Colorado, Hunter was arguably both the best receiver and the best cornerback in the nation. His success with the […]

The Detroit Lions had far and away the best offense in the NFL last season. Their best player was Jahmyr Gibbs, the running back who established himself as one of the best players in the league last season. Gibbs’ breakout campaign led to an incredible year in fantasy football leagues, but how will the Alabama […]

The 2024 NFL Draft was one of the best classes for receivers ever, and Marvin Harrison Jr. was the prized possession. Malik Nabers, Ladd McConkey, and Brian Thomas ended up having better rookie years, though, and Rome Odunze, Xavier Worthy, and Xavier Legette all had standout first seasons as well. Harrison could still prove himself […]

Terry McLaurin has been one of the most consistent receivers in the NFL for years now. His 2025 campaign is going to look quite different, though. After years of steady play, the Washington Commanders receiver felt deserving of a lucrative contract extension. The Commanders have yet to give him that deal, which has led to […]

There always seems to be drama involving the Dallas Cowboys. This year, it is the Micah Parsons contract dispute. One constant in Dallas is that CeeDee Lamb will put up massive numbers. Because of this, he has become one of the top players in fantasy football. Lamb was again a top player in 2024, but […]

The 2024 NFL Draft class was full of star players who went on to dominate fantasy football during their rookie seasons, especially at the receiver position. None were better than Malik Nabers, not even Brock Bowers, a tight end who set numerous rookie records. Nabers thrived in Year 1 despite poor quarterback play in New […]

The Los Angeles Rams’ Puka Nacua had one of the best rookie seasons ever in 2023. Injuries prevented him from matching that success in 2024, but a bounce-back season is expected, especially with Cooper Kupp now suiting up for the Seattle Seahawks. So, what is Nacua’s fantasy football outlook for the 2025 season? Puka Nacua’s […]

The Cincinnati Bengals have a high-octane offense. This was evidenced by Joe Burrow leading the league in passing yards and Ja’Marr Chase winning the Triple Crown last season. Chase is even the projected No. 1 pick in fantasy football this year. The team also has a talented running back who can rack up the fantasy […]

The MLB trade deadline was extremely active, and may have changed your fantasy baseball team. But with the regular season winding down, you have to make sure you have the best possible roster for this week’s matchup. The fantasy baseball waiver wire will be active up until the playoffs, so make sure you get your […]

The Miami Dolphins are a tough team to gauge when it comes to their best players and their fantasy football outlook ahead of the 2025 season. Tyreek Hill was once the undisputed best receiver in the NFL, but he is coming off his worst season since his rookie year. Fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle is also […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 2025 MLB All-Star Break is over, and fantasy baseball is back. If you have Kyle Schwarber or Paul Skenes, you probably wish the innings from Atlanta counted.
