The tight-end position typically has players who can play later in their careers than other positions. You don't usually see many running backs, wide receivers, or defensive and offensive linemen over 31 years old have much success or even play at all in the NFL. There are some outliers, of course. But even for the […]

The 2024 NFL regular season is over.

The regular season is finally over. All the playoff teams are now set, and we only have one week before the postseason begins. It's never too early to start thinking about the Super Bowl, and while it may seem that the repeat champions from the 2022 and 2023 seasons will simply win it again, we […]
John Johnson 1 week agoQuarterback Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Playoffs - Week 18 (2024)
It's Week 18, finally. The quarterback position has been a roller coaster this season, with a lot of unexpected names having big seasons and others disappointing massively.

John Johnson 1 week agoWho Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jauan Jennings, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr.
The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]

It isn't always easy finding the best player to put in your FLEX spots in fantasy football.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Cincinnati Bengals for each of their final games of the 2024 regular season. This game will have playoff implications -- at the very least, it will change the Steelers' final seed in the playoffs, as they could end up as high as the No. 3 and as low […]

Many fantasy football managers are critical of leagues that stretch their championships into Week 18. With so many meaningless games, teams intentionally resting their starters, and defenses on tanking teams simply giving up, the last week of the regular season can be highly unpredictable. Of course, the more variables there are in play, there more […]

Week 18 is here, and while many fantasy football leagues have concluded with their championship matchups in Week 17, there are still plenty that have one game left to play.

The last week of the regular season can be extremely awkward for fantasy football managers.

A quick look at the current NFL playoff picture shows us […]

The final week of the NFL regular season has arrived.

The Kansas City Chiefs have secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC this season, and are headed to the playoffs with a first-round bye and home-field advantage for the rest of their games (except the Super Bowl, of course).

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was a fantastic waiver wire pickup when he took over the starting RB job for his team after the injury to lead RB Isiah Pacheco (ribs), who fractured his fibula after Week 2. However, injuries sometimes run their course before the season is over. Hunt has been relegated […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is now the RB9 overall in typical PPR scoring formats. He's been a boom-or-bust player with an admittedly decent floor but massive ceiling, boosted by his ridiculous 15 rushing touchdowns, two receiving scores, and 1,239 yards from scrimmage this season. He's on a great offense with a great offensive […]
