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.

Andrew Ball 6 months agoFantasy 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 […]
Andrew Ball 6 months agoFantasy 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 […]
Andrew Ball 6 months agoThree 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 […]
Andrew Ball 6 months agoFantasy 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 […]
Andrew Ball 6 months agoCan 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 […]
Andrew Ball 6 months agoCan 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 […]
Andrew Ball 6 months agoIs 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoTop 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoIs 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. […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoIs 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoDoes 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months ago2024 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoIs 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoIs 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." That's a quote from Cleveland wide receiver Elijah Moore, who believes that the Browns have a chance to boast the best wide receiver room in the NFL. Moore and WR1 Amari Cooper are joined this season by ex-Bronco Jerry Jeudy. […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoFantasy 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 […]
Andrew Ball 7 months agoIs 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 […]

Backup quarterback: The best job in all of sports.

Andrew Ball 8 months agoFantasy 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 […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoTop Running Back Position Battles For 2024 Fantasy Football
Many long, hot summer days are ahead. But, before we know it, training camps will be kicking off across the country. Within those camps, players will jostle for future playing time. One of the more important battles to watch, at least for fantasy football managers, is at the running back position. The starters for many […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoFantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Troy Franklin
Mock draft pundits don’t tell us which players are good. The league will do that for us. Oregon’s Troy Franklin was the poster child for that in the 2024 NFL Draft. Predicted by many to be a late first or early second-round pick, Franklin did not hear his name called on Day 1. Day 2 […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoFantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey may share a surname with a pub owner in Ireland but you can wager the house that he’s far more athletic. The ex-Georgia Bulldog is also entering an ideal situation in Los Angeles. Last year’s first-round pick, Quentin Johnston, failed his initial test as an NFL-caliber wideout. Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoFantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Roman Wilson
Mike Wallace. Emmanuel Sanders. Antonio Brown. Martavis Bryant. JuJu Smith-Schuster. Diontae Johnson. George Pickens. Roman Wilson? The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lengthy history of drafting highly productive wide receivers in the middle-to-late rounds of the NFL Draft. They hope Michigan’s Roman Wilson is next in the lineage. There have been some misses (James Washington, Sammie […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoIs Tony Pollard Or Tyjae Spears The RB1 For The Titans?
Small frames, running gap schemes, pass-catching abilities... Is Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears the real-life version of the Spider-Man meme? The Tennessee backfield will be difficult for fantasy managers to navigate before and during the 2024 NFL season. Pollard and Spears are built from the same cloth and coaches are eager to deploy them similarly. […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoFantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Adonai Mitchell
A debate breaks out at the bar: Is Adonai Mitchell a great NFL prospect? You point to his elite athleticism score at the NFL Combine. Your friend discusses his lack of finesse and consistency in his routes.

Andrew Ball 8 months agoFantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Blake Corum
Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, the widespread belief was that Jim Harbaugh would draft and reunite with his former Michigan running back Blake Corum. Instead, Harbaugh opted for a different Wolverine, linebacker Junior Colson, in the third round. Corum will at least play in the same stadium as his former mentor. The Rams […]
Andrew Ball 8 months agoWhere Will Marvin Harrison Jr. Land? 2024 NFL Draft Outlook
Living up to the legacy of your Hall of Fame father is a big ask. It's an even bigger ask when you share the same name. Marvin Harrison Jr. will enter the league with marginally better draft capital than his dad (who was selected 19th overall in 1996). Junior is projected to be a top-five […]
Andrew Ball 9 months ago2024 NFL Draft Predictions - Will The Vikings Trade Up For A QB?
The quarterback position is so important to the NFL that its definition has transcended the game. The word "quarterbacking" means to direct or coordinate an operation or project. The Minnesota Vikings don't have a seasoned director of operations. Sam Darnold, a former first-round flameout for the New York Jets, is currently atop the depth chart. […]
Andrew Ball 9 months agoRams Clash - Puka Nacua vs. Cooper Kupp For 2024 Fantasy Football
Everyone loves an underdog story. Puka Nacua is following in Cooper Kupp's footsteps as the darling of the fantasy football world. Kupp entered the league as a below-average athlete from a school, Eastern Washington, with four players on NFL rosters (Kendrick Bourne, Samson Ebukam, & Nsimba Webster). His draft capital, 69th overall, reflected his backstory. […]
Andrew Ball 9 months ago2024 NFL Draft - Making The Case For Malik Nabers As WR1
In almost any other NFL Draft, Malik Nabers would be the betting favorite to be the first wide receiver selected. Unfortunately for him, he happens to be in the same draft class as the son of a Hall of Fame wideout (no, not that one). Marvin Harrison Jr. has been atop draft boards for many […]
