The 2021 Super Bowl champions are up next.    We just watched the Los Angeles Rams win the championship last season, as they continue to assemble one of the most loaded rosters in all of football. This year will be Sean McVay’s sixth season with the Rams, as he continues to add different elements to […]

The 2021 season felt all too familiar for Green Bay fans. An elite regular season that ultimately ended with a crushing playoff defeat.    After an eventful offseason, there have been quite a few changes in Green Bay entering the 2022 season.  Sign up for an FTN subscription today. Green Bay Packers Head Coach: Matt […]

It can be hard to prep for fantasy football during training camp and the preseason. Things happen every day that might be a huge deal for fantasy … or might be no deal at all. Sometimes we can figure it out, but sometimes it’s just a matter of paying attention to what happens to know […]

For all intents and purposes, we will be talking about two rookie running backs today in Breece Hall and Travis Etienne. Obviously Etienne isn’t technically a rookie, but since he missed all of 2021, the same basic evaluation applies. Both players are in middling offenses that have a second running back slated to see meaningful […]

The San Francisco 49ers were heartbreakingly close to making the Super Bowl for the second time in Kyle Shanahan’s tenure last season, but there is no reason they can’t get there in 2022. Yes, Mike McDaniel is gone, but most of this coaching staff remains intact, and it is very good. Shanahan’s offense has been […]

In 2021, the Tennessee Titans were the top seed in the AFC, despite dealing with multiple injuries, mainly to the offense. The season did not end in a memorable way, but Mike Vrabel has done an amazing job with this team over the last four years. Entering the 2022 campaign, the Titans offense could look […]

The Buffalo Bills went from one of the least exciting teams in the NFL to a powerhouse in both real football and fantasy football. Tremendous coaching, incredible personnel moves and breakout players have helped the Bills ascend into the elite tier of teams. But entering the 2022 season, the Bills have a change in offensive […]

Patrick Mahomes has been maybe the league’s best quarterback for a few years now, but Justin Herbert could make a case to supplant him as soon as this season. But which elite signal caller should lead your fantasy football rosters for 2022? The consistent, elite Mahomes or the ascending Herbert?   Let’s find out which […]

The Colts are coming off an up-and-down 2021 season where they looked at points like a legitimate AFC contender. However, there were also stretches where they didn’t, which is why they found themselves out of the playoffs. Frank Reich enters his fifth season as the head coach, while the Colts will have a new defensive […]

The Cincinnati Bengals had a magical 2021 season, coming up just a few plays short of a Super Bowl victory. Entering the 2022 campaign, the regime in Cincinnati is mostly the same, while the offense made some key additions this offseason, potentially making this unit even more productive.    Let’s look at how the team’s […]

You can legitimately make the argument that the 2022 Los Angeles Chargers have the best roster in the NFL.   It should lead to the first playoff appearance of Justin Herbert’s young career, especially with the defense set to vastly improve. The Chargers have an aggressive head coach and an experienced offensive coordinator, but what […]

Things continue to change in Seattle. Russell Wilson, the greatest player in Seahawks franchise history, is no longer with the team, while the defense has seemingly taken a step back each of the last five or six seasons. What will the Seahawks look like in 2022?   Let’s take a look at how the team’s […]

Last week in this space, we debated Cooper Kupp and Justin Jefferson, with the Minnesota wideout getting the edge for me. And because Jefferson is ahead of Kupp for me this season, can an argument be made for him ahead of Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey?    Let’s talk game theory this week: It’s draft […]

The Arizona Cardinals got off to a scorching start to the 2021 season, going 7-0 before accumulating injuries caused the team to ultimately finish 11-6. Arizona has flirted with greatness but has not been able to sustain it over the course of a full season.   What should we expect from this team and its […]

Per usual, there was a ton of hype surrounding the 2021 Dallas Cowboys. And for a while, the hype was warranted, as the Cowboys scored a ton of points, made plenty of plays on defense and finished with a 12-5 record. The season did not end the way they wanted but with a returning coaching […]

The Cleveland Browns dealt with a ton of injuries over the course of the 2021 season, and entering the 2022 campaign, there are some interesting changes.    The coaching staff is still basically the same, with Kevin Stefanski, Alex Van Pelt and Joe Woods all back for their third season together.  Sign up for an […]

Cooper Kupp and Justin Jefferson are the consensus top two wide receivers in fantasy football entering the 2022 season. Kupp is coming off one of the greatest seasons in NFL history, while Jefferson has gotten off to one of the greatest starts to a career in NFL history.   So which wide receiver should you […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have plenty of changes entering the 2022 campaign. A new head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator, as well as a new passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Yeah, that sure seems like a lot.   For fantasy purposes, Jacksonville is honestly one of the most interesting teams in the entire league. […]

Rookies get all the attention. They’re the flashy new piece that could be anything. And then a class of rookies comes through and they’re old news, replaced by the next flashy, new thing. But last year’s rookies aren’t gone, and in many cases, they’re going to be even better than the exciting new pieces that […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a successful 2021 campaign, and the excitement is building entering the 2022 season. From a fantasy football perspective, this team has a handful of new players on the roster but in terms of the coaching staff and regime, very much is the same.   Let’s break down how the […]

After a whirlwind of an offseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in fact, still appear to be a Super Bowl favorite. Tom Brady is back and while the team has a new head coach, not much from this team will change entering the 2022 season.   Let’s take a look at the fantasy football takeaways from […]

Rookies get all the attention. They’re the flashy new piece that could be anything. And then a class of rookies comes through and they’re old news, replaced by the next flashy, new thing. But last year’s rookies aren’t gone, and in many cases, they’re going to be even better than the exciting new pieces that […]

The Washington Football Team are now the Commanders, and with a new name, the team is hopeful to have some new results. Entering the 2022 season, much of this team is the same as last year, outside of the quarterback position.   Let’s take a look at how the team’s coaching and coordinator situation affects […]

Our Fantasy Crossroads series continues with a look at a pair of tight ends in different situations entering the 2022 campaign. Cole Kmet hasn’t shown a ceiling so far in his career but is in line for plenty of opportunities in Chicago, while Mike Gesicki has shown the upside but could see his opportunities decline […]

Despite a 3-13-1 record, the Detroit Lions were one of my favorite teams to watch in all of football last season. The Lions played hard every single week and entering the 2022 season, they are truly one of the most interesting teams to watch for fantasy purposes.    Let’s take a look at how the […]

The Houston Texans certainly aren’t the most appealing team for fantasy football. But, like many teams this offseason, changes are being made. A new head coach, a new offensive coordinator and plenty of reasons to be a lot more interested in the Texans than you may have originally thought.   Let’s take a closer look. […]

The Jets first season with a new coaching staff in 2021 wasn’t anything to remember, as they finished with a 4-13 record and had a handful of games where they were absolutely dismantled. However, between an outstanding general manager, innovative offensive coordinator, exciting head coach and an influx of new talent, there are plenty of […]

Elite talents at the position and never-ending poor quarterback play? Yeah, you can say that DJ Moore and Terry McLaurin have plenty in common.   It is what makes this debate very interesting for fantasy football. Entering the season, both wideouts will (once again) be playing alongside new quarterbacks. But which wide receiver should be […]

Changes continue to happen in Atlanta. In 2021, the team added a brand new coaching staff and regime and now entering the 2022 campaign, the Falcons’ long-time quarterback is now playing elsewhere.    Now let’s take a look at the team’s coaching staff and see how it might influence the team’s fantasy outlook for 2022. […]

The fantasy season is quickly approaching, so we will continue giving love to the second-year players in fantasy football. Everybody loves taking chances on their favorite rookies in fantasy football (how else do you prove your takes are right on social media?), which often leads to overshadowing players who we have seen perform at the […]

One of the many teams with a completely new regime in 2022, the New York Giants actually excite me more than most. There is going to be such a drastic change in their offensive scheme this season, while their new head coach is one of my favorite coaches in the entire NFL.   Let’s take […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have a completely new regime in 2022, as they attempt to make the necessary moves to keep up in a wild AFC West.    Let’s take a look at how the team’s coaching staff shapes up for the season, and what that means for fantasy football. Follow along with the whole […]
