Should I Draft Jonathan Brooks? Fantasy Football Draft Outlook for 2024

It's the worst thing a fantasy manager can hear: A player on your roster will miss time during the regular season. Running back Jonathon Brooks falls into that category. Carolina head coach Dave Canales believes his rookie second-round pick won't see the field until Week 3. The former University of Texas star suffered a torn […]

Should I Draft Rashee Rice? Fantasy Football Draft Outlook for 2024

A young, breakout wide receiver attached to the best quarterback in the NFL? It seems like an early pick in fantasy football. First came off-the-field troubles, then came target competition.

Is Greg Dortch, Michael Wilson, Or Zay Jones The Fantasy Football WR2 For The Cardinals?

Two of the most sought-after players, at their respective positions, are members of the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is an early second-round selection despite never playing against NFL defenses. Trey McBride is a top-four option at tight end. Where does that leave the rest of the weapons in the passing offense? Greg […]

Top Candidates To Dethrone Sam LaPorta As The Fantasy Football TE1 In 2024

If you polled 100 fantasy football analysts before the 2023 season and asked who would finish as the top-scoring tight end, none of them would have answered Sam LaPorta. On the back of 10 touchdowns, the Lions’ rookie racked up 239.3 PPR fantasy points, nine ahead of second-place finisher Evan Engram. A double-digit touchdown season […]

Is Najee Harris Or Jaylen Warren the Fantasy Football RB1 for the Steelers?

A first-round pick versus an undrafted selection. The answer to the article title should be obvious, right? That's not that simple. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren were deployed often throughout Pittsburgh's 2023 campaign, on what ultimately turned out to be a poor offense. Still, both contributed meaningful fantasy points at various points in the season. […]

How To Manage Bye Weeks In 2024 Fantasy Football

Constructing the perfect fantasy football roster is about answering the tough questions. Do I draft a quarterback or tight end early? Should I prioritize running backs or wide receivers? Do I select a third-year wideout with upside or the consistent, seasoned veteran? Do I worry about bye weeks? The last question has been the subject […]

Fantasy Football Players Set To Fall Short Of Their ADP At TE In 2024

In most offseasons, we hear, "Tight end is actually pretty deep this year." Then, the season wraps, and there's only a handful of lineup-staple tight ends and a boatload of others that are replaceable any given week. Is this finally the year that multiple valuable tight ends are uncovered in the middle-to-late rounds? Or will […]

Third-String Running Backs - Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers for Deeper Leagues

Injuries will thrust a third-string running back into a starting role this season. That's all but guaranteed. However, injuries themselves are impossible to predict. We can't say with certainty which rarely-used runner will become a flex-worthy fantasy football asset during the season. There are third-string backs that can ascend to second or first-string without a […]

Three NFL Quarterbacks In Make-or-Break Years - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Let's start this article off with a little cliche: Quarterback is the most important position across all sports. That's not blowing the minds of any readers and it's something that general managers across the NFL are constantly thinking about (outside of the Kansas City Chiefs, I think they're set). There won't be any hoisting of […]

Will Brenden Rice Make the Chargers 53-Man Roster? 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Training camps are underway across the league, meaning hundreds of players are battling it out for a spot on regular season rosters. For some, the NFL dream may end before it ever begins.

Fantasy Football Players to Target and Avoid in 2024 - AFC North

Fantasy football options are plentiful in the most competitive divisions in the NFL. In the AFC North, all four teams finished above .500 in 2023. Three of the four squads made the postseason. This year, more rivalry fueled games are sprinkled throughout the regular season. And, of course, a boatload of fantasy football points to […]

Fantasy Football Players to Target and Avoid in 2024 - NFC South

Mediocrity defined the NFC South in 2023. The division winner Tampa Bay Buccaneers recorded a 9-8 record, narrowly edging out 9-8 New Orleans and 7-10 Atlanta. But who cares about records? Teams can be awful and there's still value to be found in individual performers. Some of the biggest values in fantasy football last season […]

Three NFL Offenses Trending Down In 2024 Fantasy Football

Drafting players on the best offenses in the NFL is a sound fantasy football strategy. But that's a luxury that not every fantasy manager can afford. The best offenses also aren't the same year over year. New coaches come to town, a different quarterback is under center, or skill position players switch teams. Below, we […]

Fantasy Football QB/TE Stacks You Must Draft in 2024

Stacking your fantasy football quarterback with their top wide receiver can sometimes be a cheat code, earning a near-automatic win when the pair connects for a touchdown or two. The same idea can be applied to a QB-TE stack, but those aren't necessarily as cost effective. In standard fantasy football formats, managers start one quarterback […]

Can You Trust Jayden Reed In 2024? Fantasy Football Outlook

Is it fair to call one season missing the playoffs a drought? Retooling after the trade of Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love led the youngest roster in the NFL to the postseason. The offense in particular was a surprise, leaning on Love and a handful of rookie and second-year pass-catchers. The best performer and most talked […]

Can You Trust David Montgomery In 2024? Fantasy Football Outlook

David Montgomery runs like a truck commercial: Dependable, rugged, powerful, with tough in his DNA. If people had a Hemi, Montgomery would have one. Like a truck, there comes a time to trade in for a newer model. Jahmyr Gibbs has a better top speed and can hit that mark quicker. Still, there's something satisfying […]

Is Ryan Tannehill Still A Free Agent? Top Landing Spots For Tannehill in 2024

For a (initially) collegiate wide receiver, Ryan Tannehill has delivered a respectable NFL career as a quarterback. Tannehill's tenure in Tennessee came to an unceremonious end after five seasons rocking the Titans blue. A lengthy injury coupled with a losing record convinced the team to turn the reigns over to rookie Will Levis. Tannehill started […]

Top Fantasy Football Candidates To Dethrone Christian McCaffrey As The RB1 In 2024

Anytime he's healthy, Christian McCaffrey is a near-lock to remain THE dude in fantasy football. The elite San Francisco offense is built around his abilities in the air and ground games, and he's built to handle an 80-90 percent snap share. He failed to score a touchdown in just three games last season, one of […]

Is Caleb Williams A Fantasy Football QB1 In 2024?

All of the hype in the world can't lead to prime performances on the field. It needs to be proven. Caleb Williams is one of the most talked-about quarterback prospects to enter the NFL in the last decade. That doesn't always equate to NFL success, let alone success for fantasy football managers. Ask Trevor Lawrence. […]

Is Mike Gesicki Or Erick All the TE1 for the Bengals?

A receiving option attached to Joe Burrow at least raises an eyebrow, especially with the quarterback being one year removed from back-to-back seasons of at least 4,400 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. While Burrow does concentrate his targets to the dynamic wide receiver duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, he and coach Zac Taylor […]

Does N'Keal Harry Have Fantasy Football Value in 2024? Harry Moving to Tight End For the Vikings

Stop trying to make N'Keal Harry happen. At least the Minnesota Vikings are giving up on the potential of Harry as a wide receiver, moving the former first-round pick to tight end in 2024. Can the position change revive Harry's career or is he destined to be mentioned among the all-time first-round busts at wide […]

2024 NFL Power Rankings - Bottom-Five Pass-Catching Groups In The NFL

Some NFL teams are lucky to have a strong unit of receivers. Others not so much. The league has steadily evolved into a passing league with teams often deploying three wide receiver sets. An elite quarterback unlocks an offense but the playmakers take an average offense and bring it to another level. Teams without skilled […]

Is Derrick Henry Still A Fantasy Football RB1 With The Baltimore Ravens? 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

All king's reigns must eventually come to an end. In the case of Derrick Henry, he's wearing the crown in a different jurisdiction. The Titans' second all-time leading rusher joins two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson in the Baltimore backfield, hoping to push the Ravens over the hump and into Super Bowl glory. Just how much […]

Is Jerry Jeudy or Elijah Moore the WR2 for the Browns?

"How can you not think positive about what’s to come? We got a crazy group."

Moore and WR1 Amari Cooper are joined this season by ex-Bronco Jerry Jeudy. […]

Fantasy Football Outlook For Denver Broncos RBs In 2024

Tell me you have a crowded backfield without telling me you have a crowded backfield. In 2023, Javonte Williams logged most of the snaps and touches for the Denver Broncos offense but was on the field for under 46 percent of the Broncos' plays. There were weeks when Samaje Perine or Jaleel McLaughlin played the […]

Is Rhamondre Stevenson Or Antonio Gibson The RB1 For The Patriots?

After a tumultuous offensive season in New England, the Patriots are revamping the scoring side of their roster. For starters, a new quarterback will be under center, whether it's veteran Jacoby Brissett or rookie third-overall pick Drake Maye, who gets the start in Week 1. They've also added a pair of rookie pass catchers (Ja'Lynn […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Price Check - Kendre Miller (2024)

The New Orleans Saints offense was supposed to take a step forward in 2023 with Derek Carr under center...until it didn't. Carr was essentially the same quarterback he's always been. It was the running game that held everybody back. The Saints averaged the second-fewest yards per carry (3.6) across the league, tallied just four carries […]
