The Biggest Gaps Between Real-Life and Fantasy Football Value

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?   Our favorite things about fantasy football – drafting a team, bidding on the waiver wire, negotiating trades and making start-sit decisions every week for four months – have certainly helped grow the NFL.

Draft This, Not That — Fantasy Football Draft Pivots for 2023

Nailing a fantasy football draft is about more than just finding good players. It’s about finding good value.  Every year, certain players are grossly undervalued by fantasy managers because there’s another, flashier option who’s garnering all the headlines. It could be a No. 2 wide receiver who’s drafted later than a similarly talented No. 1, […]

The Fade List: Jeff Ratcliffe’s 2023 Fantasy Avoids

There’s no such thing as a “do not draft” player in fantasy football. If you’ve been told that, I’m sorry, but you’ve been fed lies. Every player has a value breaking point. If they’re on the board long enough, they become a value. However, the reality of drafts is that players will go in certain […]

Fantasy Football Sleepers for 2023

Finding fantasy football sleepers is hard. Maybe you’ve heard that there’s no longer any such thing as a sleeper in fantasy football.

Buyer Beware: The Riskiest Fantasy Football Picks of 2023

So much fantasy football analysis focuses on the ceiling. “Can Justin Jefferson go for 2,000 receiving yards,” “Can Lamar Jackson repeat his MVP-level season,” that sort of thing. And ceiling is of course crucial to a fantasy team reaching its full potential. Sometimes we have to be wary of floors, though.   You don’t necessarily […]
