Jake Ferguson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Midrange TE1 ANALYSIS: Cleveland's defense is stout, and they were particularly effective in guarding opposing tight ends a year ago.

Three Fantasy Football Sleeper Candidates Who Will Bust in 2024

While identifying sleepers is a fun and pivotal exercise in the run-up to your fantasy football draft, it’s important to ensure you target the right players. Therefore, you must distinguish fact from fiction when examining potential sleepers late in the draft. There’s not much downside with late-round picks, but you never want to completely waste […]


Rico Dowdle - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Deeper Running Back Fantasy Football Sleepers for 2024

One of the best parts of playing fantasy football is finding potential sleepers in your draft. The second you hear a league mate exclaim “Who?!” immediately after your pick, you know you’ve done something right. Due to the natural fragility of the position, it's even more important if you can find sleepers at running back. […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~ 50th Overall ADP: 65 ANALYSIS: Rice came on strong in the second half of his rookie season in 2023.

James Conner - Week 1 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: At first glance, this is a tough matchup. Arizona’s offensive line is a weakness and Buffalo’s defense has been stout. However, per FTN Fantasy, Buffalo only ranked 17th in defensive rush DVOA in 2023. Arizona’s offense struggled last year, but the one thing […]


Ty Chandler - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Sneaky Fantasy Football Bench Stashes: Later-Round Draft Values (2024)

For as much time as fantasy football players spend analyzing the top players available in drafts, it’s equally important to examine the names going toward the end of drafts. It’s an area many gamers neglect as they feel players selected toward the back half of drafts are more “dart throw” type picks. While this is […]


Blake Corum - Fantasy Football Rankings, College FB, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers

Blake Corum (RB, LAR): 2024 Fantasy Football Draft Values

Baller Move: Target Around ~100 overall ADP: ~117 ANALYSIS: Corum was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Cooper Kupp - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Should I Draft Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua for Fantasy Football? Who is the Rams WR1 for 2024?

Entering the 2023 season, Cooper Kupp had long been entrenched as the Rams WR1. That all started to change when rookie Puka Nacua stepped onto the field last year and caught 10 receptions for 119 yards in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. Nacua appeared to establish himself as the new alpha receiver in Los […]


Davante Adams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks - icon rotoballer

Three Overvalued Fantasy Football Wide Receivers In 2024

If you’re a longtime fantasy football player, then you know how expensive wide receivers have become. More and more fantasy gamers are moving away from the fragility of running backs and are investing in the safer option. However, just because wide receivers are viewed as being safe, it doesn’t mean there aren’t landmines at the […]


League Winners? Fantasy Football Rookies With League-Winning Upside

Rookies have notoriously been difficult to predict for fantasy football. For years, managers tried their best to avoid rookies due to the uncertainty and volatility surrounding them. In more recent years, though, we have seen rookies make an immediate impact. Just last year, we saw C.J. Stroud and Puka Nacua emerge as top fantasy options. […]

Fantasy Football Do Not Draft List - 2024 Busts and Avoids

Fantasy football players spend so much time focusing on which players to draft that they sometimes overlook the players they shouldn’t. It’s a simple concept that goes a long way toward sustained success in your league. Players disappoint every year. Whether it’s due to poor circumstances, injuries, subpar play, or just bad luck, there are […]


Third-Year Fantasy Football Breakouts for 2024 - Zamir White, George Pickens, Drake London, more

It’s never too early to plan for the upcoming fantasy football season.

Fantasy Football Breakout Running Backs You Must Draft - Later Round ADPs for 2024

One of the best parts of playing fantasy football is finding potential gems in the later rounds of your draft.

Every year, there are sleepers in […]


Brian Robinson Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings Running Backs, Waiver Wire Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Three Undervalued Fantasy Football Running Backs for Zero RB Builds in 2024

The Zero RB draft strategy has become very popular in recent years. It applies mainly to full PPR leagues and those where you can start three or more wide receivers. The idea is that you build a strong enough advantage at other positions (mainly wide receiver) to offset your weakness at running back. Part of […]


Jonathon Brooks - Fantasy Football Rankings, College FB, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Rookies With Later-Season Value In 2024

In the early days of fantasy football, relying on first-year players was the equivalent of eating spaghetti with ketchup and mustard. You just don’t do it. Today, it’s more common to see rookies provide instant fantasy results, and some gamers expect them to do so (See Marvin Harrison Jr.’s current FFPC ADP). While we’ve seen […]


Jaleel McLaughlin - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Should I Draft Jaleel McLaughlin Or Audric Estime For Fantasy Football? Who Is The Broncos RB2 For 2024?

The Denver Broncos targeted running backs at the highest rate in the league in 2024. With rookie Bo Nix taking over as starting quarterback, Denver will likely continue targeting backs at a strong clip. Two backs of interest on this roster include Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime. McLaughlin is a popular sleeper pick this […]


J.K. Dobbins - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Should I Draft Gus Edwards Or J.K. Dobbins For Fantasy Football? Who Is The Chargers RB1 For 2024?

After opting not to re-sign longtime starter Austin Ekeler, the Los Angeles Chargers remade their running back room this offseason. They brought in two former Baltimore Ravens backs in J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. New head coach Jim Harbaugh prefers an offense with a strong ground attack. So this is a backfield fantasy gamers are […]


Josh Jacobs - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Three Workhorse Running Backs Who Will Bust - Fantasy Football Avoids (2024)

Every year, gamers are looking for three-down running backs during their fantasy football drafts. With the league continually moving towards running-back-by-committee backfields, it’s getting increasingly difficult to find true workhorse backs with each passing year. Making things more difficult is that even when we do find a workhorse back in fantasy drafts, there’s no guarantee […]


Dalton Kincaid - Fantasy Football, Tight End, Draft, Rankings, DFS

Fantasy Football All-Bust Team - Players To Avoid for 2024 Drafts

A new fantasy football season is fast approaching. That means it’s time for managers to start preparing for their fantasy football drafts. While much of the attention is focused on which players to target, it’s arguably more important to recognize which players you need to avoid. You don’t win your league on draft day, but […]


Bobby Slowik - Offensive Coordinator, NFL, Houston Texans

Potential Head Coaches? Five NFL Coordinators To Watch In 2024

There might not be a more cutthroat job in professional sports than a head coach in the NFL. Impatient owners want instant results, and that often leads to several head-coaching openings every offseason. With several vacancies available every year, a logical starting point for owners looking for a new headman is to examine current offensive […]


Ezekiel Elliott - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Should I Draft Rico Dowdle or Ezekiel Elliott for Fantasy Football? Who Is The Cowboys RB1 for 2024?

The Dallas Cowboys backfield has a new look in 2024. The club opted not to re-sign last year's starter, Tony Pollard, after a disappointing season as the RB1. This move was not surprising given Pollard’s subpar play. What was surprising, though, was that Dallas did not make any significant addition to the running back room […]


Five Dark-Horse MVP Candidates - 2024 NFL Outlook

The NFL MVP is an extremely prestigious award and one that has an impressive 66-year history. In recent years, however, the award has become synonymous with that season's top-performing quarterback. A quarterback has won the award for 11 straight seasons. The last non-quarterback to win MVP was Adrian Peterson in 2012. While MVP is undoubtedly […]


Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Overvalued Running Backs for Fantasy Football Drafts - Potential 2024 Busts

The 2024 NFL season is fast approaching. That means fantasy football draft season is here. If you’re a diehard fantasy football player, it’s the most exciting time of the year.
