Fantasy Football Post-Hype Sleepers for 2022

However, that doesn’t mean you should just completely give up. If you did, you likely missed out on breakout players from 2021 like Deebo […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: The 40-Point Fantasy Days of 2021
Putting up 20 fantasy points in a game is a good week. Putting up 30 probably wins your fantasy team the game. Putting up 40? There are only a handful of those a year, and when they happen, we remember them … don’t we? Can you name every player who put up a 40-burger in […]

Players Worth Some Worry in Dynasty Fantasy Football
Managing a dynasty fantasy football roster is hard work. It’s why so many people bail on teams and join new dynasty leagues. Yes, I know that hit you right in the feels: Emotionally, doing a dynasty startup is easy because it’s fun and your team is obviously going to be good. But making decisions about […]

What Changed in 2021: Tight Ends
The tight end position is always interesting for fantasy football. There are always three or four guaranteed studs at the position and then a bunch of question marks. And that was the case again in 2020-21, and this year we finally saw a new overall TE1 in fantasy. We continue our “What Changed” series with […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Every Game of 250+ Rushing Yards
In Week 17 of the 2020 NFL season, someone ran for 250 yards … and somehow didn’t even lead the league in rushing that week. (I’m not going to tell you who, that’d be a spoiler.) That little fact has always blown my mind. Imagine running for the 13th-most yards in a game ever, and […]
