Heading into Week 2, we’re all overreacting here. There isn’t much film to go off, so don’t be crazy with your lineup decisions this week. It’s okay to make bold calls, but for the most part, trust your draft strategy. You took who you took for a reason, so try to stick with that unless you have a good reason not to. Of course, there are some players who you may be justified in overreacting on. This Start/Sit is a little mix of early overreactions and advice on players to stand pat on. CLICK HERE for Week 2 Fantasy Football…

Rejoice! Football season has mercifully returned to us. We already had our first taste of regular season football on Thursday, and despite it not being the most entertaining game, watching the Packers and Bears duke it out in a low-scoring affair was a welcome return to the best sport in the world. It’s back. It’s finally back. A lot of the time, fantasy owner will just go into Week 1 wielding the players they drafted earliest, leaving the results up to fate. And a lot of the time, that would be the best course of action. But in an offseason…
The Super-Bowl-champion New England Patriots are returning in 2019 with another stacked roster. The team has a ton of talent at every position, and with the conclusion of preseason week 4 Thursday, every player has made their case for a roster spot. While final cuts are being made today, let’s try to predict who gets to stick around for week 1 against Pittsburgh: DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Fantasy Football Draft Kit Offense QB (2) Tom Brady, Jarrett Stidham Tom Brady isn’t going to like losing his pal Brian Hoyer, but the Patriots generally try not to dress three quarterbacks, and Hoyer’s purpose…
This season’s batch of wide receivers feels like the deepest it’s been in a long time. It’s the sort of year where you can comfortably wait until the fifth or sixth rounds before taking your second wide receiver without getting too worked up about it. Young guys like D.J Moore, Calvin Ridley and Mike Williams are going early on based off their limitless potential, bypassing a couple of the more boring names whose best seasons might not have come last year. Just because these players didn’t perform up to expectations last year, however, doesn’t mean that they strictly deserve to…
The old adage that fantasy football lifers are beginning to take to heart more and more is that you should always wait as long as you can before drafting a quarterback. There’s a reason why Patrick Mahomes won so many teams their leagues, besides the obvious fact that he threw for over 5,000 yards and 50 TDs. It’s because nearly half of the starting quarterbacks in the league were picked ahead of him, with some going five, six or even seven rounds previously. There is never a shortage of valuable quarterback options from which to choose, and this season’s crop…
With the first episode of HBO’s beloved documentary series Hard Knocks airing tonight, no doubt are we in for a treat with the Oakland Raiders being this year’s focus. There will be plenty of compelling storylines to follow as the season progresses, fueled by famous and infamous names like Jon Gruden, Antonio Brown, Nathan Peterman, Vontaze Burfict and Richie Incognito, who have somehow all collided in Oakland for our viewing experience. Not to mention Johnny Townsend, the blazing fast punter who made waves for this stat. Outside of watching personalities clash, however, Hard Knocks does a great job of highlighting…
As the fantasy football community rolls on into August, the first returns from early-bird draftees in redraft leagues have arrived. For the majority of you still preparing for your drafts, examining the current Average Draft Position (ADP) each player has occupied from previous drafts is the best way to familiarize yourself with how the general public feels about a certain player. Ideas about every player fly around the fantasy world in the offseason, with the most popular word in those ideas being regression. Surely a player that vastly outperformed his ADP and was tremendously efficient on a per-touch basis couldn’t…
