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 Kansas City Chiefs didn’t end their 2024-25 season the way that they would have wanted, as their quest for the first three-peat in NFL history fell one game short.

It’s indeed a new era for the San Antonio Spurs after longtime coach Gregg Popovich announced in May that he was stepping down due to health reasons.

The Vegas Golden Knights had a disappointing postseason exit in 2025. Vegas felt as if it could contend for the Stanley Cup once again.

The Detroit Lions had far and away the best offense in the NFL last season.

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 […]

The New York Yankees are hanging onto the final AL Wild Card spot by a thread. After losing a series to the Houston Astros, they are a half-game ahead of the Cleveland Guardians in the standings.

PHOENIX– The second half of the season is closer and closer to concluding, and Phoenix Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts has established his potential 8-player rotation.

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.

For the first time in Major League Baseball history, the umpire calling balls and strikes behind the plate was a woman.

The Atlanta Hawks enter 2025-26 as one of the Eastern Conference’s most interesting stories.

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.

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.

Then, he scored a hat trick in Game 7 to eliminate his former team. The Avalanche were active in the offseason, re-signing center Brock Nelson, […]

The Los Angeles Rams’ Puka Nacua had one of the best rookie seasons ever in 2023.

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 Chicago Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball. The Cubs have a 67-49 record this year and are clearly in the World Series picture. Their success is partially due to their incredible depth.
