Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Each Team’s Most Recent 4,000-Yard Passer
In Thursday’s Quiz of the Day, we asked whether you could name every team’s most recent 1,000-yard receiver. It wasn’t the easiest task in the world, but at the same time, every team has had at least one 1,000-yard receiver since 2015, and everyone but the Jets has gotten there since 2018. So the names […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Each Team’s Most Recent 1,000-Yard Receiver
It’s easier to go for 1,000 receiving yards these days than 1,000 rushing yards. Last year, 26 players cracked 1,000 receiving yards, compared to only seven on the ground. Over the last five years, those numbers are 109 and 50, respectively. So naming the most recent 1,000-yard receiver for each franchise should be easy for […]

Beware the Over-30 Fantasy Football Option
Intellectually, as a fantasy football player, you probably already downgrade flex options past their 30th birthday. It’s ingrained in us — players drop off as they age, 30 is the kiss of death, all that. Let me tell you right now that however much you downgrade the older players, it probably isn’t enough. Obviously, […]

Teammates Who Could Both be Fantasy WR1s in 2022
During the 2021 season, both Keenan Allen (WR11) and Mike Williams (WR12) finished as WR1 options for fantasy football. They were the only pair of teammates to accomplish that feat in 2021, but we have seen at least one pair finish as top-12 wide receivers in three of the last four seasons. There is a […]

Russell Gage Is a High-Upside No. 3 WR in Tampa
What once looked like a bleak future for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has turned around quite dramatically over the last week.

D.J. Chark’s arrival in Detroit cap’s Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Fantasy Upside
The Detroit Lions addressed a glaring need at wide receiver Tuesday, agreeing to a one-year, $10 million contract with D.J. Chark. That’s by no means a massive deal for Chark, especially given the $18 million annual contract Christian Kirk netted from Chark’s former team the Jacksonville Jaguars.
