Bust TEs for Fantasy Football in 2024
In fantasy football, when you draft running backs and wide receivers, you draft a bunch. A couple of guys to start, guys who can flex, backups, handcuffs. But at tight end, you rarely draft more than one and almost never more than two. And that means drafting the wrong tight end can kill you. You […]

2024 NFL Draft Wish List: AFC South
The AFC South was quietly one of the most fun divisions in football last year. Both the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts surprised many in 2023, and while the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans disappointed, there is still plenty to be excited about. The Jaguars still have Trevor Lawrence, while the Titans made a ton […]

2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Ladd McConkey
Last Updated: 4/3/2024 Over the last three years, Ladd McConkey has been a modest producer for the Bulldogs, totaling over 1,600 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns.

Sleeper TEs for Fantasy Football in 2024
Last year was one of the best years for “sleeper” tight ends in fantasy football in recent record.

Is Justin Herbert a QB Value in Best Ball Right Now?
When 2023 best ball drafts came to a close, Justin Herbert was being drafted as QB7 and within the top 50 players overall. This year, he’s down to QB14 – 115th overall in Underdog ADP. The slide is justified. He lost Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but has he officially become a value? Let’s take a […]

As if it wasn’t enough for the Kansas City Chiefs to be the dynasty perched atop the league, they have the sheer temerity to be one of the league’s youngest teams while doing so? For shame.
