In fantasy football, when you draft running backs and wide receivers, you draft a bunch. A couple of guys to start, guys who can flex, backups, handcuffs. But at tight end, you rarely draft more than one and almost never more than two. And that means drafting the wrong tight end can kill you. You […]

Last year was one of the best years for “sleeper” tight ends in fantasy football in recent record. The top two scorers (Sam LaPorta and Evan Engram) were drafted 13th and eighth, respectively, at the position, the first time in at least a decade that neither of the top two were drafted in the top […]

It’s a […]

The first Dodgers season for outfielder/DH Shohei Ohtani got off to a completely unpredictable start last week, with news coming down that his longtime interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, had been caught up in a gambling investigation that apparently showed that he had paid some or all of his debts using Ohtani’s money.   There is a […]

If at this time a year ago, you had known that Christian McCaffrey would be the top fantasy football running back of 2023, that information would have been valuable, but it wouldn’t have changed your fantasy league that much. If instead you had known that Kyren Williams would be the RB7 (and RB2 per game), […]
