Updated Running Back Half-PPR Fantasy Football Rankings (2024)
The running back position has changed dramatically over the last few seasons, and these changes have shifted how ball carriers are approached in fantasy football.

Five Overvalued Players for 2024 Fantasy Football Dynasty Leagues

Fake Workhorses? Fantasy Football RBs Who Will Become Committee Backs
Remember the old days of fantasy football when the workhorse running backs were bonafide No. 1 picks and league winners?

Every Fantasy Football Running Back With a Potential Workhorse Role in 2024
The term “workhorse running back” is nearly ancient history in today’s day and age. Committee backfields have become increasingly popular as the value of running backs as a whole has decreased.

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.

Top 3 Impact Rookie TEs For 2024 Fantasy Football
It usually takes tight ends a couple of years to finally see production. T.J. Hockenson, Dallas Goedert, and Trey McBride are a few of the tight ends who failed to really make an immediate impact in their first year. Hockenson, Goedert, and McBride all totaled less than 375 receiving yards as rookies. Sometimes, there are […]
Three Overvalued Fantasy Football QBs - Potential Busts Based On Current ADP
Drafting the right quarterback can usually set you up for a successful fantasy football season.

Early-Round Fantasy Football Avoids: Overvalued Draft Picks for Best Ball - Drake London, Zay Flowers, Josh Jacobs, more
Those in best ball drafts don't need their early-round picks to smash every week, but they better have a great chance at it while also providing the firepower to finish at the top of their position.

The Most Overvalued Fantasy Football Player from Every NFC Team (2024)
Fantasy football is all about value. If you pick a player with an RB19 predraft ADP and he finishes as the RB10, that is great value. On the other end of that, if you take a player as the RB7 and he finishes as the RB22, that will severely hurt your team during the year. […]
