There are three quarterbacks from the 2004 NFL Draft that are still starting under center for their respective teams. Among them, Philip Rivers of the Los Angeles Chargers may have the best shot at making the Super Bowl. The Chargers have skilled players at just about every position, and this may be the best defense […]

The New Orleans Saints are trying to maximize their chance to win a Super Bowl while Drew Brees still dons a Saints jersey. As long as Brees is under center, anything is possible. Last year, the Saints showed they have what it takes to make a push deep in the playoffs. New Orleans was a […]

Training camps are getting underway, which means that football is almost back. The Seattle Seahawks have taken to the practice field for the first time since making Russell Wilson a handsomely-paid quarterback. The Seahawks gave Wilson a deal worth $140 million over four seasons. Like Nelly, Wilson said “show me the money” and Seattle honored […]

The Green Bay Packers are in unfamiliar territory. They have missed the playoffs in the past two seasons. Some have been quick to criticize Aaron Rodgers and how the quarterback has handled his business. Earlier this offseason, the Packers announced they were hiring Matt LaFleur to replace Mike McCarthy after McCarthy spent 13 seasons with […]

I may not know much, but I do know one thing; Baker Mayfield’s stock is rising, and fast. When a quarterback gets a pairing of Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., that tends to happen. When they break the record for most touchdown passes by a rookie quarterback, it helps. On the field, Mayfield is […]

When speaking about the 2017 NFL Draft, people are quick to mention Patrick Mahomes as the best quarterback in that draft. As that might be true, Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans is also great in own right. In that draft, Mahomes was taken with the 10th overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs. Then, […]

Not many people are fans of him, but Jared Goff continues to produce at a high-level. So much so, the Los Angeles Rams were in last year’s Super Bowl due to the play from Goff and company. The result of the Super Bowl wasn’t what Goff and the Rams wanted but the journey there was […]

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to find their way back into being a contender in the NFL after a disappointing season in 2018. They’ll need Matt Ryan to keep producing at a high-level under center—among other things—for that to come true. Last season, the Falcons may have had a down year in the win column […]

All eyes will be on Lamar Jackson in his second season under center for the Baltimore Ravens—especially in fantasy football. In 2018, Jackson had success with his legs but left a lot to be desired when it came to throwing the ball. The craze in the NFL right now is finding guys like Patrick Mahomes […]

When you think about the Cleveland Browns offense and all of the weapons that Baker Mayfield will have at his disposal, you think of names like Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. You probably wouldn’t think of tight end David Njoku, who isn’t exactly a household name just yet, but that […]

If you’re looking for a bounce back performer in Fantasy Football this upcoming season, you probably won’t need to look any further than Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham. Okay, let’s start this with a disclaimer. I’ve said it 1,000 times and I’ll say it 1,000 times more – Jimmy Graham didn’t have a […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson is actually one of the more intriguing players in the NFL and possibly in Fantasy Football as well. You wouldn’t think of Robinson when you are thinking of all of the top wide outs in the league, but there was a time when Robinson was in that mix, as […]

Odell Beckham Jr. and Michael Thomas are two of the top wide receivers in the game, and no one is going to argue that. However, they are both in entirely different situations which obviously has an effect on their Fantasy Football status heading into 2019. Beckham was traded to the Cleveland Browns after spending the […]

Antonio Brown finally got his wish to be traded this offseason, going to the Oakland Raiders. The elite wideout saw his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers come to an end, but he can still produce at a high level. Can Brown continue his run of dominance in Oakland? Or will he take a step back […]

For the past few years, everyone has considered DeAndre Hopkins, Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones “must-haves” in fantasy football. Forgotten among the rest, TY Hilton has been one of the best performers in terms of fantasy as well. In 2018, the Indianapolis Colts’ playmaking wide receiver totaled 163 points in ESPN standard leagues. His […]

For years, Alshon Jeffery has been one of the most forgotten receivers in the NFL. So in terms of fantasy football, where should you target the Philadelphia Eagles receiver? According to ESPN, Jeffery is being taken with the 53rd pick in ESPN drafts—on average. That also makes him the 20th receiver being selected in most […]

People who play fantasy football are beginning to look into players they could steal in the draft—who are better known as “sleepers”. One player who can be considered a sleeper in fantasy drafts this year is Will Fuller of the Houston Texans. The Texans wide receiver was on his way to another impressive season in […]

When tight end Jimmy Graham signed with the Green Bay Packers last offseason, many were excited about the potential. However, there’s really no other word but “average” to describe Graham’s first year with the team. Jimmy Graham reeled in 55 receptions for 636 yards and two touchdowns last season. Definitely not a bad year by […]

Running backs are one of the most important positions in fantasy football. First of all, usually teams are allowed to start multiple in a week. Then, of course, there’s the fact that they have high-potential for consistent weekly scoring. With that in mind, you tend to see a lot of running backs come off the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette did not exactly live up to expectations in his second year in the NFL. After a rookie campaign in which he rushed for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns while hauling in 36 receptions for 302 yards and a score, Fournette totaled just 439 yards and five touchdowns on the […]

Fantasy Football owners need not be in limbo anymore. Le’Veon Bell is officially back and there is no chance he is going to hold out this time. After a topsy-turvy six-year tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers in which Bell sat out the entire 2018 campaign due to a contract dispute, Bell is now a member […]

As the 2019 NFL season approaches, that means only one thing. That would be the fact that the 2019 Fantasy Football season is right around the corner as well. In the next couple of months, players will be looking at their respective drafts and trying to figure out how they want to build their team […]

The Green Bay Packers brought in a new head coach in Matt LaFleur this offseason. With that, comes a new offensive system – that’s something quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t deal with often. While Rodgers is always going to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, you have to wonder if this will affect […]

Philip Rivers led the Chargers to 12 wins in 2018. They finished second in the AFC West in their second season in Los Angeles. In the playoffs, the Chargers dominated the Ravens in Baltimore before being taken down by their kryptonite. The Chargers suffered a 41-28 loss to Tom Brady and the Patriots in Foxborough. […]

Just like in the NFL, a quarterback on your fantasy football team is vitally important. However, things are a little different in the world of fantasy football. For instance, fantasy football owners aren’t worried about if the quarterback can lead their actual team to victory. In the NFL, wins by the quarterback seems to be […]

Every year in Fantasy Football drafts, there comes a time when you have players at the same position that you can’t decide between. Both could be destined for big things. Or maybe both players might carve out a decent role. It causes frustration for Fantasy Football owners when they draft the wrong one, but elation […]

There’s no denying the greatness of some superstars. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been dominating the NFL for years and you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who truly believes he isn’t a Hall of Famer. Meanwhile, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck returned from injury in 2018 to look unstoppable. Both should be considered […]

The New England Patriots are entering a 2019 campaign with a whole lot of uncertainty in their receiving corps. Gone is longtime Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who announced his retirement earlier this offseason. Also, wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Chris Hogan departed via free agency, and fellow wideout Josh Gordon is serving an indefinite […]

One of the most intriguing players in the NFL entering 2019 is rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, whom the Washington Redskins took with the 15th overall pick of the draft in April. While Haskins is certainly the Redskins’ quarterback of the future, the starting job is not guaranteed for the 22-year-old, as a legitimate argument can […]

One of the trendy picks for a breakout running back for the upcoming 2019 NFL campaign is Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers, who was having a very solid year in 2018 before a sprained MCL knocked him out for the final few weeks of the season. In 12 games overall, Jones rushed for […]

Ever since his arrival in the NFL, Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams has been considered one of the best running backs in football. That leaked over into the Fantasy Football realm, as he’s routinely a top-three pick. However, things are changing. Gurley’s knee is becoming a significant problem. So much so that the […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is coming off of a monster 2018 campaign in which he hauled in 111 receptions for 1,386 yards and 13 touchdowns, good for one of the best seasons for a wide out in Packers history. Adams was one of the lone bright spots in what was a disastrous […]

Last season James Conner became the main running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Of course, this was the case after the entire Le’Veon Bell debacle which is officially behind the Steelers. Bell is off with the New York Jets, meaning Conner is officially their guy. With that in mind, what are his fantasy prospects for […]

There was a time when LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills was one of the best running backs in football and a Fantasy Football demon, but after a miserable 2018 campaign in which McCoy rushed for just 514 yards and averaged a meager 3.2 yards per carry, you have to wonder if his days as […]

The San Francisco 49ers’ backfield is all of a sudden a crowded one. The 49ers ranked 13th in the league last season rushing for 113.9 yards per game. Matt Breida led the rushing attack for the 49ers in 2018 but might have to take a back seat this season. Jerick McKinnon will be returning after […]

The New England Patriots may have lost Rob Gronkowski to retirement this offseason, but they also welcomed back an old friend, as they signed tight end Ben Watson for a second go-around in Foxborough. Watson spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Patriots, and while he certainly wasn’t Gronk-like, he was […]

Oakland Raiders first-round draft pick Josh Jacobs out of the University of Alabama was not only the first running back off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft, but could be a big-time fantasy stud this season as well. A lot of fantasy experts are viewing Jacobs’ success in 2019 as a very high possibility […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has always been solid, but last season, he completely broke out, hauling in 86 receptions for 1,219 yards and six touchdowns, all career highs. Prior to 2018, Woods never even totaled 800 yards in a single season, and he had only caught 60 passes once. So, was Woods’ […]

Last season was the breakout year for Derrick Henry that people have been waiting for since his rookie year. The Tennessee Titans running back finished with career-highs in nearly every category. Henry recorded 1,059 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. All those (as well as his 15 receptions) were new […]
