It's one of the most common talking points in sports media: Who do you go to when you need a big play? On the football field, it's the top wide receiver, and those are the guys fantasy managers love to target early in drafts. But there's a handful of No. 2 receivers (Tee Higgins, Davante […]

With drafters getting smarter every year, trend-breaking strategies that felt like well-kept, league-winning secrets just a few short years ago can now seem commonplace.

While every manager loves discussing which players to target in their fantasy football draft, they must also take some time and have a much less fun conversation.

The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers have dominated the NFC West in recent seasons. In fact, both teams have won seven of the last eight division titles.

Brant's Must-Avoid Draft Picks for 2025 Fantasy Football: 5 Overpriced Veterans

Fantasy football drafting is all about finding value on the board. One player may not be a great third-round pick but could pay off as an incredible sixth-round pick.

Offensive Line Analysis for Fantasy Football: 4 Potential Running Back Busts (2025)

In fantasy football, the success of running backs often hinges on factors beyond their individual talent, with offensive line play standing as a critical determinant of their production.

The quarterback position is widely regarded as "the most important position in all of sports" for good reason.

One of my favorite things in dynasty is buying low on players.

5 Veteran Fantasy Football Tight End Fallers: Overvalued TEs Set to Lose Targets (2025)

Tight end is probably the most polarizing position in fantasy football. Every year, there are only a few elite contributors at the position.
