Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Which Teams Have Employed Josh Johnson or Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Some NFL players bounce around. After a decade with the Vikings, Adrian Peterson played for six teams in five seasons from 2017 to 2021.

Sleepers, Busts & Bets: 2022 Fantasy Football Team-By-Team
It’s summer. The NFL Draft is behind us, and so is (most of) free agency. There are still plenty of roster moves to come, to be sure, but at this point we have a pretty good idea of who will be on what rosters come Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, and that means […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: The League Leaders in Interceptions, 2012-2021
Throwing a lot of interceptions doesn’t inherently mean a quarterback has been a disaster. Certainly, you’d rather not throw picks, but in and of itself an interception is not a death knell.

Fantasy Football Dynasty Deep Stashes
We’re at the point of the NFL offseason when things are eerily quiet. The draft and free agency are in the rearview mirror, and rookie mini camps and OTAs don’t typically generate much buzz. It’s unlikely the NFL landscape changes drastically over the coming weeks, but that doesn’t mean May should be considered a dead […]

Worst Offseason Moves for Fantasy Football in 2022
The 2022 NFL offseason has been unlike any we’ve had in recent years. The QB movement alone was arguably the most insane we’ve ever seen — and certainly within the last decade.    But not all of it was good. And now that we’ve made it through free agency and the draft, it’s time to […]

Last year, only three members of the Houston Texans – Davis Mills, Brandin Cooks and Rex Burkhead – reached 100 PPR points on the season.
