Will the Vikings Sign Justin Jefferson To A Contract Extension? Fantasy Football Outlook

The simple answer is yes, the Minnesota Vikings must sign Justin Jefferson to a contract extension. Crafting a deal worthy of his achievements would be tricky.

Some people play in standard (non-PPR) fantasy football leagues, some play in half-PPR leagues, and some play in full-PPR leagues.

Tyreek Hill Dealing With Minor Injury

The Miami Dolphins are taking it slow with wide receiver Tyreek Hill (undisclosed) this spring -- he's done very little beyond individual drills during offseason practices -- because he's dealing with a minor undisclosed injury.

Will Greg Dulcich Have An Expanded Role For The Broncos? Fantasy Football Outlook

Denver Broncos' second-year tight end Greg Dulcich is one of the latest names to garner OTA coach-talk hype.

Miami Dolphins center Connor Williams hasn't been present for mandatory minicamp this week as he seeks a new contract.

Is There Cause for Concern With Davante Adams? 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Football Tight End Risers and Fallers - Yardage Regression Candidates

If only NFL players performed exactly as they should, am I right? And I'm not talking about our own personal projections because that's incredibly subjective. Some fantasy managers might love Dalton Schultz, some may not. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about hindsight performance. Such as, if this player has 100 targets, we'd […]

Dynasty Price Check - Justin Fields

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields had a tremendous breakout season in 2023, becoming just the third-ever signal-caller to top 1,000 yards rushing.

Dynasty Price Check - Michael Pittman Jr.

Michael Pittman Jr. was an overhyped wide receiver coming off a breakout season in 2022. But neither the Colts nor Pittman lived up to expectations. New quarterback Matt Ryan was cooked.
