Undervalued Running Backs: Fantasy Football Sleepers and Draft Values for 2024

Using the market to find discounts and deals is the fun aspect of fantasy football. While it's easier said than done, we can look at the data to find potential mispriced running backs. Though we're seeing running backs being discounted, the high-end options still go in the first two rounds, with 10 at the position […]

Fantasy Football Undervalued Wide Receiver Sleepers for 2024 - Rashee Rice, Demario Douglas, Josh Downs, more

Every year we go through average draft position (ADP) with a fine-tooth comb to spot the players we believe are undervalued and the players we believe are overvalued. This is usually due to a specific reason, but sometimes, it can simply be recency bias as well. In this article, we'll highlight four undervalued wide receivers […]

Backup Fantasy Football Running Backs To Chase In 2024

In my last article, I highlighted one-man backfields to chase in 2024. In this article, I highlight four of the best backup running backs to chase in 2024.

You’ll notice a trend with these four breakout candidates. They’re either […]

WR3 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Busts for 2024 Drafts

The WR3 in an NFL roster differs from the WR3 in fantasy football. The third-best wide receiver in a squad can still fall within the top 20 wideouts. However, WR3s are typically ranked 25th to 36th among wideouts. Fantasy experts derived this tier from the typical number of players in a fantasy football league. Hypothetically, […]

Late-Round Running Back League Winners for Fantasy Football (2024)

Once you reach a certain point in your draft, it's all about drafting upside and finding that potential league winner, such as Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams in 2023. Fantasy managers can afford to take chances on rookies, forgotten veterans, players coming back from injuries, and backs in committees. At this point of […]

Mid-Round Wide Receiver League Winners for Fantasy Football (2024)

Fantasy football season is almost here! While fantasy managers should be focused on nailing their early-round picks and identifying late-round picks with upside, be sure not to forget about the middle rounds.

Must-Have Middle-Round Picks for Fantasy Football Drafts - Tyjae Spears, Pat Freiermuth, more

In fantasy football, we often discuss early-round players or late-round sleepers to draft, but hardly ever consider those all-important middle-round picks. In fantasy terms, we define middle-round picks as the ones made in Rounds 8-12 in a 12-team league. That means we're using Underdog ADPs of 96 to 144 at this stage as we are […]

Tight Ends to Avoid in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues

This may be the year when tight ends are finally cool again. The position seems deeper than it's been in years, which is especially true at the top of the position where there are four to six players fantasy managers can argue for being the TE1 this season. We haven't had that kind of upper-tier […]

Quarterbacks to Avoid in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues

In recent years, quarterbacks have become increasingly popular in fantasy football. This position has continued to climb up draft boards as they have continued to put up video game numbers.

Zero RB Fantasy Football Middle-Round Running Back Draft Targets

Draft strategies like zero running back (Zero RB) can generate uncomfortable conversations and implicit biases. Like any draft strategy, we should consider scoring and roster formats.
