My favorite strategy in dynasty startups is to build a team that can win now and later, as I detailed in a previous article on the Superflex startup strategy. However, suppose the choice is between drafting a short-term contender or a team ... → Read More
Everyone knows that QB is the most crucial position in football, but it took the fantasy game quite a while to reflect that reality. Superflex may not yet be the dominant format for casual players, but it is for the ... → Read More
Welp, we were bound to get one of these bad injury weeks eventually. But it couldn’t have come at a much worse time, with the fantasy playoffs just around the corner. Let’s not sugarcoat it: Week 13 was a bloodbath, ... → Read More
Thanksgiving Week is always a special one on the NFL calendar. Being around friends and/or family, it links fantasy matchups of seasons past to specific memories in a way other weeks of the season don’t. That said, it also helps ... → Read More
I won’t lie, Week 11 was looking a little light on key takeaways initially. It was another week of stagnant offense for many teams across the league — and the fantasy squads built around them. You know it’s not a ... → Read More
Week 10 was, undoubtedly, the wildest installment of NFL football yet in 2022. From a fantasy perspective, it was dominated by the uncertain game-day status of three signal-callers: Josh Allen, Kyler Murray and Matthew Stafford. Murray and Stafford were scheduled ... → Read More
If you’re like me, you spend a good portion of your week staring at your fantasy lineup, stewing over who to start/sit and gaming out your odds of victory. But sometimes, none of that planning and obsessing ends up mattering ... → Read More
Entering Week 8, NFL scoring was down to its lowest level since 2010, and watching teams across the league felt more like a trip to the dentist’s office than the candy store. Thankfully, all of that changed this week, when ... → Read More
The lead-up to Week 7 was dominated by one of the biggest in-season trades in recent memory. Christian McCaffrey, a consensus top-two pick in 2022 fantasy drafts, was dealt from one of the league’s most dysfunctional offenses to the most ... → Read More
Week 6 was chock full of surprises and not necessarily the good kind for fantasy managers. It’s the kind of week where it’s a lot easier to come up with disappointments than pleasant surprises. Sure, neutral observers probably enjoyed the ... → Read More
One thing we all learn quickly as fantasy football managers is that things often don’t go according to plan. In a way, the Week 5 slate was a microcosm of it. It began with a Thursday night game that was ... → Read More
If you have Alvin Kamara on your fantasy team and live on the West Coast, you may have experienced a rude awakening on Sunday morning. Kamara, who was officially listed as questionable but considered likely to play heading into the ... → Read More
Week 3 was not the prettiest week in football. In a sense, it’s fitting that it will be remembered as the week of the “Butt Punt.” There were lots of punts and lots of offenses that played like…well, you know. ... → Read More
Week 2 was a wild installment of NFL football and had a bit of everything. There was no shortage of remarkably improbable comebacks, including the Jets coming back from 13 down in the final two minutes to beat the Browns, ... → Read More
For one week at least, Aaron Rodgers missed Davante Adams a lot more than Adams missed Rodgers. Rodgers’ day began with rookie Christian Watson dropping what should have been an 80-yard touchdown that landed right in — and through — ... → Read More
Last week, I gave you six players who were great last year but could disappoint this season. I’m someone who likes to always look on the bright side of life, so that was the hard part. This article is the ... → Read More
Imagine this. You’re on the clock in your fantasy draft and glancing over the list of available players. You’ve done your research and created your own set of rankings, but at the last second, you decide to sort by last ... → Read More
They say there is no offseason in dynasty leagues, and for the most part, that’s true. But there are definitely ebbs and flows. Weeks 1-17 are a mad dash, the NFL playoffs are must-see TV, free agency, and the NFL ... → Read More
Maybe it's my advancing age, but man, did this fantasy football season fly by. Here we stand in Week 16, with just two weeks separating us and those much-deserved fantasy championships. → Read More
