NFL Draft Winners - Dynasty League Risers

After countless mocks, rampant speculation, and media smokescreens, the 2021 NFL Draft proved unpredictable as ever. Several teams got what they hope is their eventual franchise quarterback. Running backs continue to be devalued while wide receivers flew off the board early and often. The subsequent domino effect on veteran players will shake things up for […]

NFL Free Agency and Draft Winners: Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns, once a punchline, now have one of the best rosters in the NFL and are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Free agency was great for the Browns. Things only got better in the draft. The day started off with General Manager Andrew Berry and his wife welcoming a child and ended with […]

Chiefs Trade For Mike Hughes

The Kansas City Chiefs acquired cornerback Mike Hughes and a 2022 seventh-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round pick, according to a source.

Surprising Winners from the NFL Draft - Tight End

This wasn’t a particularly strong draft class at the tight end. Out of 259 prospects drafted in the 2021 NFL draft, just 11 of them play the tight end position. There were only five positions that had fewer players taken over the course of seven rounds, and three of those positions were kicker, fullback, and […]

Who is the Dynasty 1.01 Now???

Now that we know where all of the players from this year's draft have landed, it's time to get to doing some dynasty rookie drafts. A lot of years, there's a clear person to pick with that No. 1 rookie pick. Remember how Saquon Barkley was the unanimous 1.01 a few years back? It's less […]

Chiefs Bring Back Andrew Wylie

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed offensive tackle Andrew Wylie to a one-year, $2.133 million deal Tuesday and released quarterback Jordan Ta'amu in a corresponding move. The restricted free agent was tendered a contract offer back in mid-March, and Wylie signed the tender on Tuesday. He signed with the team in 2018 and has become a […]

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with.

Early 2021 Running Back Sleepers

Even with the NFL being a passing league these days, running backs still rule the roost in fantasy football. You cannot win a fantasy football league without a decent pair of high-caliber running backs, and many times you need three above-average backs to win thanks to injuries, bye weeks, COVID outbreaks, and because you can […]

Kansas City Chiefs Draft Cornell Powell

With the 181st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Clemson wide receiver Cornell Powell. The Chiefs saw Sammy Watkins depart this offseason and then didn't really fill that hole on their roster, so while Powell is a fifth-round pick, there's a reasonable chance that he ends up seeing the […]

Chiefs Draft Tight End Noah Gray

With the 162nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected tight end Noah Gray. Obviously, Kansas City isn't a great landing spot for any tight end since they have the league's best one in Travis Kelce, but Gray will have a chance to play in two tight end sets if […]

Chiefs Select Center Creed Humphrey

With the 63rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey. Humphrey didn't allow a sack last season and joins a Chiefs team that has spent the entire offseason rebuilding the offensive line in an attempt to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Humphrey is a strong pass blocker […]

Chiefs Sign Jerick McKinnon

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent running back Jerick McKinnon to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to sources.

Byron Pringle Signs Tender

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle signed his original-round tender on Thursday, according to his agents. The 27-year-old will make $2.1 million during the 2021 season. Pringle caught just 13 passes on 17 targets for 160 yards and one touchdown in 13 games (three starts) for the Chiefs last year, but the team remains […]

Final 2021 NFL Mock Draft - Round 1

The 2021 NFL Draft is finally here and rumors continue to swirl. We still don't know which QB the 49ers are taking at No. 3 and whether or not the Falcons will go QB at No. 4, trade down, or go with Kyle Pitts. From there, a handful of quality offensive players expect to be […]

Early 2021 Breakouts: Running Back

It's never too early to talk about potential breakouts in fantasy football, right? Well, maybe sometimes it is. It's April 2021, so we're not going to discuss 2023 breakouts or anything like that.
