Who Should Be 1.01 in 2024 Fantasy Football Drafts?
Each year at FTN, I’m tasked with identifying who should be the 1.01 in next year’s (2024) fantasy football drafts. In 2022, I picked Christian McCaffrey (correct). In 2023, I picked CMC again (correct again). So who is it going to be in 2024? Well, probably CMC again … but let’s make the case for […]

2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Drake Maye
Last Updated: 2/16/2024 As a true freshman, Drake Maye saw almost no action for North Carolina, but he exploded in 2022, leading the ACC in passing yards (4,321), completions (342) and passing touchdowns (38). We saw him take a step back statistically in 2023 after UNC lost multiple pieces of his supporting cast to […]

The NBA All-Star break kicks off this weekend, but before the festivities, the first half ends with a small three-game DFS slate Thursday.

College Basketball DFS Picks and Strategy for Thursday (2/15)
Thursday was a solid night of college basketball DFS overall, with DVP special Malik Hall dropping a hammer on Penn State. Unfortunately, Jahmir Young underperformed, but it didn’t hurt as much since brand plays like Meechie Johnson and Kadary Richmond did their part. Thursday’s offerings include a 10-game main slate with a plethora of Pac-12 […]

Fantasy Baseball 2024: Understanding Platoon Splits
Edouard Julien seems to be the perfect fantasy baseball breakout candidate. The 25-year-old debuted last season while batting .263/.381/.459 with 16 HR and 3 SB. There is even a chance he could steal more bases after swiping 34 in 2021 and 19 in 2022. His 408 PA in 109 games could prorate to over 600 […]
