Fantasy Football WR Sleepers: Smash Spots for Week 12 include Courtland Sutton, Josh Downs, Terry McLaurin, Ladd McConkey

Welcome to the first bye-pocalypse of the season. We have the Bengals, Bills, Falcons, Jaguars, Jets, and Saints all on bye. Do not panic; there are always great WRs to start! Last week, none of our selections found the end zone. However, they put up decent yardage. Highlighted by CeeDee Lamb going eight receptions for […]

Fantasy Football WR Sleepers: Smash Spots for Week 11 include CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Cedric Tillman, Calvin Ridley

In a week where the WR10 had 15 fantasy points, big games were hard to come by at the WR position. With that behind us, let’s try to come back stronger this week. I have scoured the data, and I am confident we’ll be putting our best picks forward this week. Last week, I was […]

Fantasy Football WR: Smash Spots for Week 10 include Malik Nabers, Nico Collins, Parker Washington, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki

Welcome back to this week's top WR smash starts. This year, we have plenty of WR movement due to in-season trades and devastating injuries. Last week, we had some up-and-down picks that were highlighted by big weeks from Rome Odunze (five receptions, 104 yards) and Courtland Sutton (seven receptions, 122 yards, and a passing TD). Unfortunately, Josh Downs and […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Smash Starts for Week 9 Include Courtland Sutton, Rome Odunze, Ladd McConkey, Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs

The WR position is in continual flux this season. With in-season trades and multiple injuries, the position has been anything but stagnant. This week added to the WR drama as Diontae Johnson was dealt to the Ravens after they collapsed against their division rivals. Stefon Diggs went down with a torn ACL, and Cooper Kupp […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Smash Starts for Week 8 Include Tee Higgins, Kyle Pitts, Romeo Doubs, Cedric Tillman, Elijah Moore

I need to emotionally recover from Week 7. With a multitude of WRs going down to injury and illness, the WR position has all of a sudden flipped on its head.  Last week’s injuries likely put many playoff teams in jeopardy and gave hope to those at the bottom of the table. After all, there […]

Justin Fields Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 5 - Can We Trust Him in Lineups?

Is Justin Fields good at football? Maybe. Was he a great acquisition for a sixth-round pick? Absolutely. The Steelers were arguably the most surprising 3-0 team heading into last week. Although they always seem to have a winning record, going 3-0 with only three offensive touchdowns was anything but normal. Last week, Fields had his […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Smash Starts for Week 5 Include Garrett Wilson, Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, Tee Higgins

Navigating the WR position this season has been like finding Waldo with the lights out. All season, WRs have been trailing the RB position for fantasy.  With passing numbers down across the league and injuries plaguing some of the big names (A.J. Brown, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Rashee Rice, etc.), suddenly, the safest position for […]

Breece Hall Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 5 - Cause For Concern?

What happened to Breece Hall? Last week was a complete shock as the Broncos held him to four yards on 10 carries and two receptions for fourteen yards. That was his lowest yardage total by far in any full game he has played in his career. It’s times like these that we need to keep […]

Even with these adjustments, the question […]

Chase Brown - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

Baller Move: Start in 12+ Team Leagues Positional Value: Flex Analysis: Chase Brown shot up the fantasy football ranks in August. The sophomore back out of London, Ontario, is an athletic beast with a frame large enough to carry a workload. All offseason, the Bengals coaches were hyping up Brown. Whether it was his pass-catching […]

NFL Seasonal Player Props to Attack (2024)

Over the last few years, season-long props have become some of my favorite bets to make. I have found that it is easier to play the law of averages when you are playing for the entire season. Of course, you always run the risk of a player being injured and missing a substantial part of […]

Who Should I Draft? Chris Olave, Nico Collins, Deebo Samuel Fantasy Football Outlooks (2024)

If you’re picking early in your fantasy football draft, you’ve probably found yourself debating between the abundance of receivers that go in the late second round/early third round. Three key WRs at that point of your draft are Chris Olave, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Nico Collins. These players are most likely your second WR or […]

Who doesn’t love the top WRs? This year, we have four absolute stars in the position, including CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tyreek Hill. That's not all of the top talent, though. We also have an elite second tier of players on good offenses, like Garrett Wilson, A.J. Brown, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. […]

Fantasy Football All-Breakouts Team - Ellis' Picks for 2024 Drafts

After completing an article series and identifying a breakout candidate from each NFL team, I have decided to create a starting fantasy football roster with my favorite selections. Welcome to Ellis’ All-Breakout Team. Previously, I had divided my breakouts by division and selected a player from each team. Although the term “breakout” is subjective, I […]

Four Overhyped Sleeper Candidates for Fantasy Football - Stop that Hype Train!

One week of preseason down, and we already have some massive fantasy risers and fallers. Although it’s always important to keep a level head, this is the first “real” action from which we can draw conclusions.

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - AFC West

The AFC West may be one of the most intriguing divisions in football. For the second year in a row, this division has welcomed back a head-coaching icon. Last year, Sean Payton came out of retirement to coach the Broncos, and now Jim Harbaugh returns to the league after winning a national championship with Michigan […]

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - AFC South

Arguably the most exciting division in football is the AFC South. That seems wild to say, as the previous decade has been relatively underwhelming. Not only does this division have budding superstar C.J. Stroud leading the way, but it also has Trevor Lawrence, Anthony Richardson, and gunslinging Will Levis. Going into this season, I think […]

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - AFC East

The AFC East is loaded with question marks this season. Thankfully, most of the questions are “Is this team a Super Bowl contender?” If everything goes right, three teams could answer this question with a “yes” (sorry Patriots fans). I’m selecting a fantasy breakout player from each NFL team in this series of articles. I […]

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - NFC West

The NFC West is loaded with potent offenses and a variety of defensive abilities. From the reigning NFC champs to the new home of Marvin Harrison Jr., it’s easy to get excited about this division.

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - NFC South

If there was a breakout division, it might be this one.

The Falcons have three young stars primed to break out, the Panthers loaded up with […]

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - NFC North

The NFC North has suddenly become the talk of the NFC over the last year. Between the Lions and Packers being Super Bowl contenders and the Bears seemingly nailing their rebuild, the Vikings are surprisingly left in the dust.
