A final warning on Christian McCaffrey.

In the opening game of the 2026 regular season, two wide receivers are in this interesting fantasy space between draftable, streamable, and droppable.

I did some research last night, and based on what I found, my entire DST draft strategy has changed forever. Sounds a little dramatic, I know.

What most people are missing about Derrick Henry’s 2026 fantasy outlook . . .

Why are the ADPs of uber-bargains Bo Nix and Patrick Mahomes essentially unchanged since June?

A fantasy phrase suggesting at least one receiver on a team will step up and be relevant. If only it were that simple . . .

Camp buzz and an injury are forcing me to question my all-summer-long belief that TreVeyon Henderson will take over the Patriots’ backfield this season.

Who will be the highest-scoring fantasy WR among teams’ #3 wideouts? A strong case could be made for De’Zhaun Stribling. Jakobi Meyers (assuming he’s officially the Jags’ #3) could break through. But one guy arguably is the most undervalued entering the season: Jauan Jennings.

Using data analytics to help make sense of the RB “dead zone” in fantasy drafts.

Some people say that teams’ strength of schedule impacts fantasy production. Turns out the opposite is true.

Some managers go RB-heavy in the early rounds of drafts. Others adopt a zero-RB strategy. But does it even matter?

There are two types of drafters. One focuses primarily on the early rounds. The other puts the same focus into every round.

There’s a lot of chaos in the Packers’ backfield, and I don’t think the fantasy market is looking at the big picture.

The faint-but-real fantasy relevance of yesterday‘s Jarquez Hunter / Tutu Atwell trade.

There are so many reasons to get on board with Kenneth Walker. But I’m not sold. Here’s why.

The Giants signing Najee Harris has created some fantasy chaos in that backfield.

Deshaun Watson was named the Browns’ Week 1 starter, in what might be the final Week 1 start of his career. With him at the helm, can fantasy managers trust anyone on that team?

As of this recording, we don’t know the severity of Ashton Jeanty’s injury or whether Mike Washington Jr. could become an overnight weekly fantasy starter. What we do know is that the health of last year’s preseason top 10 RBs was almost certainly a statistical outlier.

AJ Brown is expected to do big things in fantasy, just like he’s often done since entering the league. Here’s why I’m more cautious than the market.

The NFL and fantasy legacy of Nick Chubb upon his retirement.

Why James Cook’s past usage and Ty Johnson’s injury could set up Ray Davis for fantasy relevance.

With Jayden Higgins out for the season, can any Houston WR not named Nico claim fantasy relevance? Definitely.

Will Tyler Shough’s ADP drop in light of Jordyn Tyson‘s expected extended absence, and would that present a buying opportunity?

None of the Jaguars’ wide receivers have ADPs that suggest they’re weekly starters or even weekly streamers. Which horse should we ride?

The longer Alex Pierce is out, the riskier he and Josh Downs become. Here’s why.

Many managers have been receiving my fantasy rankings for years. Some managers have been texting me fantasy questions for years. Whatever your preference, I’m here for ya.

Auction drafting is a blast. It can also be disappointing. If you prefer joy over disappointment, then give a listen.

Some backfields have a clear-cut pecking order. Others don’t. Somehow, the Bengals are somewhere in between. Here’s what it means for fantasy managers.

MarShawn Lloyd has had only 16 regular + preseason touches in the past 998 days. Tonight we’re going to find out if he can really be Josh Jacobs’ handcuff.

Revisiting my thoughts on Jadarian Price nearly two months ago, and why analyzing data and identifying trends give fantasy managers a competitive edge.

How much should we trust Chargers OC Mike McDaniel about the potential usage of Omarion Hampton, Keaton Mitchell, and Kimani Vidal?

Shifting personnel sometimes leads to shifting ADPs. The ADPs of Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin tell us a lot about what the fantasy market might be missing.

I don’t want to have to draft any Titans running backs, because then I’d have to draft every Titans running back.

Trying to narrow down the realistic range of fantasy outcomes for Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, and Cam Skattebo.

Like a lot of preseason games over the years, last night‘s Hall of Fame game didn’t have a lot of fantasy relevance. But rookie QB Carson Beck’s strong performance has to be addressed.

Some days I’m bullish about several Tampa Bay fantasy options. Other days I’m nervous about who’s going to cancel who out.

Why Courtland Sutton is one of the most overvalued fantasy WRs.

With Michael Pittman Jr. now in Pittsburgh, the door is open for Alec Pierce and Josh Downs to take on more work. Does this make them bargains based on their ADPs?

Chiefs rookie WR Cyrus Allen has been earning camp buzz. His ADP is skyrocketing. How confident should we feel that he can earn some starts this season?

Deebo Samuel has joined a 49ers WR corps that has major question marks leading up to Week 1. Who can fantasy managers trust?

Chris Brazzell’s season-ending injury might open the door for a free agent signing who could cap Tetairoa McMillan‘s ceiling.

Are Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze bargains, busts, or priced about right? It largely depends on who wins the #3 WR job in camp.

Houston WRs Tank Dell, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel are “what-if” bargains. Depending on what happens these next few weeks, one or two of them could spike in value.

A comment on my blog has me rethinking the line between brilliance, banality, and luck.

Three weeks ago I walked through why rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling was in a fantastic landing spot in a room full of injury-prone playmakers. Now things are happening . . .

Last summer I did three podcast episodes on why Ladd McConkey was overvalued and his WR teammates were undervalued. This summer, it’s happening again.

97 retired RBs who entered the NFL these past 30 years were coming off a final college season that accounted for at least 60% of their total college touches. Their average rookie fantasy ranking was 105.

Ever since the Chiefs drafted Emmett Johnson in the fifth round, I’ve been tracking him as a likely bargain. But 30 years of data say otherwise.

Jonathon Brooks finally appears to be healthy and ready to start his NFL career in Year 3. He also happens to be the biggest sell-high dynasty running back.

There are so many reasons to believe Lamar Jackson will bounce back. There are also many reasons to believe we’ve already seen him at his best. That’s the dilemma.
