What to Do with Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey is the best running back in the NFL.

Corey Davis to Jets - Fantasy Impact

It would be easy to say Corey Davis is going to be a great number one receiver in New York. It would also be a lie. The truth is, we do not know yet. Not just because of his up-and-down career but also due to the question at the quarterback position for the 2021 season. […]

How to Lose With Class in Fantasy Football

We have all seen it before. The person in your league who gives up halfway through the season. They act like a petulant five-year old who does not get their way, taking their ball and going home.

Hollywood Brown: Where Have You Gone?

We knew 2020 would be a bad year for Hollywood. We did not think it would be Hollywood Brown. After a sensational yet shortened rookie season in 2019, a lot was expected from Marquise Brown this season in Baltimore. To this point, not only has the team disappointed, so has the lightning-quick wide receiver who […]

Should We Worry About Amari Cooper and the Dallas Receivers?

With Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott leading the way, the Dallas Cowboys' offense is stacked at the skill positions; however, the offensive line is a mess.

Why Noah Fant Will Be This Year's Breakout Tight End

Every year in fantasy football, the tight end position is, for lack of a better word, mediocre. There are a few stars at the top and then a group of indistinguishable players in the middle. Sometimes though, there is one who waded through the muck and rises to the top of the heap. Last season, […]

Kareem Hunt (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~48 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~64 ANALYSIS: After returning from suspension last season, Kareem Hunt took a bite out of the production of Nick Chubb.
