August depth charts are a funny thing in the NFL, especially when teams release an ‘official’ look into their projected roster for the upcoming season. And while the general practice is to list rookies at the end of all positional groupings, there is no chance that Drake London will remain at the back end of […]

Brandon Aiyuk is undoubtedly a major playmaker for a San Francisco 49ers offense that consistently finds ways to move the ball and score lots of points. In theory, this makes him a desirable candidate for any fantasy manager. Is he, however, a guy that fantasy managers need to roster following a bumpy season in 2021? […]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off of another stellar season in which he won his second consecutive NFL MVP Award. He threw 37 touchdown passes to only four interceptions. Those numbers are downright filthy. But as all fantasy football managers are aware of, just because a player has individual success on the […]

Seen as more of a retooling effort than a total rebuild, the New Orleans Saints are going to look quite different this season. Having welcomed in rookie WR Chris Olave with their first pick this past April, the offense should look like a solid unit – provided both Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas are on […]

Christian Kirk has the chance of having a breakout year in 2022. After four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, the wide receiver signed a four-year, $72 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to possibly be their WR1. At the age of 26, the Jaguars appear to see the potential in Kirk’s game. Now with a […]

The Tennessee Titans offense has undergone quite a bit of change this offseason, specifically at the wide receiver position. The A.J. Brown/ Julio Jones pairing didn’t work in 2021, so the front office got rid of them and brought in Robert Woods and Treylon Burks. While Woods may be set to miss the start of […]

Since Ryan Tannehill’s arrival in Tennessee in 2019, the Titans have had no concerns about his performance throughout the regular season. He already has three postseason appearances and a 30-13 overall record. His pass attempts increased somewhat last season (531 vs. 481) due to Derrick Henry’s injury, but Tannehill’s capacity for big plays decreased over […]

Kirk Cousins has had a rather interesting career. He’s never really been a top 10 quarterback, but he’s managed to earn himself massive contract after massive contract. Cousins has already earned nearly $200 million throughout his playing career despite being a relatively average quarterback. In the fantasy football sector, Cousins has largely kept a similar […]

Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2021, had a difficult start to his NFL career. Wilson only reached 250 passing yards twice all season while guiding the Jets to only four victories and the fifth-lowest total points scored in the league. In fact, more than 50 percent of Wilson’s games saw him […]

Matt Ryan has labored through four straight losing seasons with an Atlanta Falcons team that appears set for a lengthy rebuild. That’s why his trade from the Falcons to the Indianapolis Colts should be a nice change of pace for the aging veteran. At 37 years old, Ryan’s best days are probably behind him. But […]

Will Jamies Winston be a saint or sinner in New Orleans this 2022 NFL season? Experts expect Winston to start at quarterback for the Saints. That’s after completing his recovery from the torn ACL he sustained at the halfway point of the previous season. In Superflex and two-QB drafts, he’ll be one of the most […]

Judge Sue L. Robinson has suspended Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson for the first six games of the 2022 NFL season. The NFL is contemplating appealing for a longer suspension, while Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is hoping to see Watson on the field in Week 7. It’s extremely tough to just forego his off-the-field […]

Baker Mayfield is out of the drama in Ohio and now hopes he can redeem himself in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2021, Baker Mayfield’s throwing ability was hampered by playing through a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. In his four seasons in Cleveland, he hasn’t been a winning quarterback (29-30). His completion rate (61.6) […]

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields could be a whole lot of something or a whole load of nothing. Fields had a 2-8 record with the Chicago Bears in his rookie campaign and threw ten more interceptions than touchdowns (7). He had weaknesses in his completion percentage (58.9) and yards per throw attempt (6.9), but he […]

Chase Claypool was supposed to have a breakout second season in the NFL, but that was limited by Ben Roethlisberger’s inability to consistently throw downfield last year. Over the final four weeks of the season, Claypool led the Pittsburgh Steelers in air yards with a share of 27 percent. If the Steelers can get improved […]

Despite being the fifth quarterback selected in the 2021 NFL Draft, Mac Jones probably had the best season out of all rookies for the position. The No. 10 pick was the only rookie quarterback to lead a team to a winning record and a playoff appearance. He became a Pro Bowler in just his first […]

Robert Woods turned himself into one of the top wide receivers in the NFL during his five season stint with the Los Angeles Rams. But Woods will be set for a new start with the Tennessee Titans in 2022 after he was traded off the Rams this offseason. Woods was brought in to help a […]

Fantasy football season is about to get underway. Quarterback is one of the most interesting positions in fantasy football. Typically, running backs get drafted in the first round. Sure, there are a couple of superstar quarterbacks who may get drafted early. But QB’s tend to get drafted a little bit later. However, planning your QB […]

Tyler Lockett has been one of the most consistent fantasy options at wide receiver over the past few seasons. He was one of Russell Wilson’s favorite targets in the passing game, and he could get himself open at all three levels of the field. When he’s able to stay healthy, Lockett had been a top […]

The 2021 season marked the end of an era for Zach Ertz. In the middle of his ninth year with the Philadelphia Eagles, he was traded to the Arizona Cardinals. In Philadelphia, he played a key role in the team’s Super Bowl LII run as he had seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown […]

Rashod Bateman had a solid rookie campaign for the Baltimore Ravens. He wasn’t a top option in their offense by any means, but Bateman filled in as a secondary option for star quarterback Lamar Jackson to hit when the offense needed a boost. As a result, many folks around the Ravens have been expecting big […]

After 12 years with the Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford found a new home when he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. It did not take long for fans to be happy with him under center. In just his first year with the Rams, Stafford led the team to the Super Bowl title. In the […]

Cordarrelle Patterson never seemed to be able to find a consistent role for himself throughout his career. Patterson was always one of the best kick returners in the NFL, but he could never find his fit on offense. A wide receiver by trade, Patterson was often used a gadget player, but that never allowed for […]

In the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers picked Trey Lance third overall. Some have compared him to Lamar Jackson, but Lance lacks his top-end speed and arm power. With Lance’s tendency to break the pocket, play with his eyes up, and explode up the field on a run, perhaps Deshaun Watson might actually […]

The New England Patriots have a lot of potential on offense heading into the 2022 NFL season. One of the main reasons for that is because of their young running back duo of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. Harris and Stevenson served as one of the top duos in the league last season for the […]

It’s early August and that can only mean one thing. It is time for fantasy football managers to start preparing for the upcoming season. Fantasy football has become a billion dollar business annually, with money and punishments exchanging hands and being doled out every season. The quarterback position is always deep and should be treated […]

After a brief retirement earlier this offseason, Tom Brady is returning for his 23rd NFL season. In the blink of an eye, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went from staring down the barrel at a potential rebuild, to reestablishing themselves as one of the top teams in the NFC. Brady is one of the few players […]

In the past two years, Tua Tagovailoa has been quite disappointing. The fifth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft has not proven to be the Miami Dolphins’ franchise guy and his fantasy football stock is much worse. He is in for a massive year three, but whether that is good or bad is up […]

The Seattle Seahawks are going to look much different on offense heading into the 2022 season, thanks in large part to Russell Wilson getting traded to the Denver Broncos this offseason. But many of the playmakers from last season are still on board, and among them is running back Rashaad Penny, who figures to takeover […]

Hunter Renfrow was one of the breakout stars from the 2021 NFL season. The 2019 fifth-round draft pick took full advantage of the Raiders having very little playmaking talent on their roster, and ended up being one of quarterback Derek Carr’s favorite targets throughout the season. Renfrow was an afterthought for many fantasy managers when […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have had a turbulent offseason. One of the positions where they have had the most amount of change has been wide receiver, where star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Brought in to replace him was former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster. After an incredibly productive first […]

The Cleveland Browns offense is in an interesting spot heading into the 2022 season. In a sense, they have no idea whether star quarterback Deshaun Watson is going to be playing or not. What they do know is that they have one of the best running back tandems in the league in Nick Chubb and […]

The Philadelphia Eagles revamped their offense this offseason around their young quarterback Jalen Hurts. While their passing game figures to improve, it could also do wonders for fourth-year running back Miles Sanders, who will be looking to put together a complete campaign after struggling in 2021. It wasn’t necessarily that Sanders struggled to get yards […]

The fantasy football season is nearly upon us. People are doing their research, trying to figure out who the best sleepers will be, what pitfalls to avoid early, and scout their draft position. The preparation sometimes is as much fun as the actual draft itself. It’s the hard work you put in that feels so […]

After 10 years with the Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson is off to a new beginning. The quarterback was traded to the the Denver Broncos in exchange for multiple first-round picks and players, but it might pay out for his new team. In his last season in Seattle, Wilson had 3,113 yards for 25 touchdowns and […]

Devin Singletary has struggled to assert himself as the top running back in the Buffalo Bills offense for much of his career. But he got his shot late in the 2021 season, and he seems poised to carry that over to the 2022 season. Singletary is clearly Buffalo’s top running back heading into their upcoming […]

NFL training camps have opened and it is that time of year again. It’s time to begin doing your research for all of your upcoming fantasy football drafts. Every season, there are a number of players drafted late that turn into either league winners or impactful players to help your fantasy team. One of those […]

Michael Thomas is set to make his return to the football field with the New Orleans Saints in 2022 after missing the entire 2021 season with an ankle injury. Thomas played spraingly during the 2020 season as well, meaning this is the first time we will really see him in action since the 2019 season, […]

Coming off from a Heisman Trophy winning season with Alabama, DeVonta Smith entered the NFL subject to sky-high expectations. And as a rookie, Smith had a solid year. He finished with 64 receptions for 916 yards and five touchdowns. His receiving yards set a new Philadelphia Eagles record for a first-year player. Those numbers show […]
