Fantasy Veteran Winners and Losers of the 2023 NFL Draft
The focus this weekend, and every NFL Draft weekend, is on the rookies, the 250-plus young men who just saw their professional careers start. And understandably so. But there are also a few thousand guys already in the league before the draft started Thursday, and for many of them, their fantasy football outlook changed dramatically […]

D’Andre Swift traded to Philadelphia Eagles, Fantasy Reaction
Apparently Howie Roseman doesn’t just draft players from the University of Georgia. He trades for them, too. After the Lions shocked the world selecting Jahmyr Gibbs 12th overall on Thursday, it was abundantly clear that D’Andre Swift would be available for trade.

Day 2 of the NFL Draft is in the books and for fantasy purposes, it is always the most exciting because this is where we see so many skill position players selected.

USFL DFS Plays for Week 3
We roll into Week 3 of the USFL. As expected, the variance has been high. We are starting to establish a pecking order with these offenses, but it’s still going to take time to fully decipher where the touches are consistently going to go. With that in mind, we’ll keep grinding away and the […]

The 2023 edition of the NFL Player Selection Meeting – otherwise known as the NFL Draft – has arrived, and it’s time for the final 2023 NFL mock draft of the season.

Vacated Opportunities in Fantasy Football
The 2023 NFL draft is here, and it’s time for new blood to enter the league. But that also means veterans are about to lose snaps, targets and rushing attempts to rookies.

Fantasy football reaction to Jeff Ratcliffe’s Mock Draft 4.0
The NFL draft is just a day away, and basically from the moment it starts the fantasy community will be ready to overreact. It’s not uncommon for fantasy managers to drastically overcorrect some of their fantasy rankings as a result of the draft, and this behavior can create opportunities for the savvy fantasy manager who’s […]

The Aging Curve: What Age Group Is Getting the Touches These Days?
