5 Teams Set to Decline in Fantasy in 2023
The Atlanta Falcons went to the Super Bowl in the 2016 season. In what is unsurprisingly very related news, they were one of the top offenses for fantasy football that year, with only the Packers’ and Saints’ offensive players putting up more PPR points than the Falcons’ 1,745.2. It was a big jump over 2015, […]

What Changed in 2022 for Fantasy Football: Wide Receivers
Call me old, but I liked the era of WR divas (in a fun way). Chad Johnson donning the golden jacket as a celebration. TO being TO. The Joe Horn cell phone. (Antonio Brown doesn’t count as “in a fun way.”) But the years have made WRs slightly less fun — or have they? […]

When everything came to a close, the 2022 NFL season ended with no major shock — the best QB in football, Patrick Mahomes, hoisting the Lombardi. But when you take a step back and look at the big picture, you realized quite a bit changed on the quarterback front this year for fantasy football. […]

With the NFL Scouting Combine here, the 2023 NFL Draft season is officially in full swing, and it’s time for our first mock of the year.

Who should be 1.01 in 2023 fantasy football drafts?

After playing every game in 2022, will drafters still be so scared of CMC? Is he even still […]
