Overvalued, Undervalued Fantasy Football Rookies in 2024 Best Ball Drafts

Rookie fever is in full force. Although fantasy football drafts still have a few months to go, best ball is well on its way.  Two things are common this time of year.

Reader (quad) could miss the start of training camp later this summer due to the torn quad he suffered in Week 15 of last season, according to head coach Dan Campbell.

Do NOT Draft Josh Jacobs for Fantasy Football (2024)

Every offseason, fantasy managers tend to get carried away, positively and negatively, on a handful of players. Their ADPs skyrocket or plummet way more than they should.

Three NFL Teams Due for Negative Regression in 2024

The NFL is a massively competitive league and parity is an expected part of the sport. The league pushes teams to .500 through a lot of means -- through giving the worst teams better draft picks, implementing the hard salary cap, and having better teams within divisions play more difficult competition the following season. This, […]

The tight-end position has been getting more love this offseason than in years past. There appear to be at least 10-12 solid starters, with a few more names that could pop up this season.

After six seasons with the New York Giants, Saquon Barkley is now on a new team. Earlier this offseason, he signed a three-year, $37.75 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Football Veteran RBs Set to Lose Touches in 2024

Over the last decade or so, we’ve seen a shift in the way running backs are valued in the NFL. Heck, they used to be top-10 draft picks.

Trevor Lawrence and Tua Tagovailoa are two quarterbacks eligible for contract extensions. They've had modest success in the NFL, leading their teams to the playoffs.

Justin Jefferson vs. Amon-Ra St. Brown – Who Should I Draft In 2024 Fantasy Football?

Last season, Justin Jefferson was the clear-cut No.1 overall pick in most drafts, but with the injury and questionable quarterback play after Kirk Cousins went down, he finished nowhere near that spot.  Amon-Ra St. Brown continued his rise as a bonafide fantasy football star and is now a no-brainer first-round draft pick for managers in […]

This series continues to move on, and we're now getting into the middle rounds of our fantasy drafts, so the options are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Fantasy Football RB Committees Not to Avoid in 2024

Workhorse running backs are out and running back committees are in. The NFL has shifted to a committee approach to preserve running backs throughout the season from the rigors of modern-day athletes.

Hendon Hooker Moves Into QB2 Role

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker was rumored to be a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft in the middle of his stellar final season at Tennessee in 2022.

Lions Seem To Want Jack Campbell As Their Middle Linebacker

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said second-year linebacker Jack Campbell has taken control of the offseason the way he should.

Fantasy Football Tight End Winners From the 2024 NFL Offseason
