Third is a good place to be in your 2023 fantasy football drafts. With no true consensus top-three this year, there’s a chance you could land your first or second choice on your board at third overall. Plus, you deal … read more » by Fantasy in Sat, Jun 10 |
So you didn’t get the No. 1 overall pick in your 2023 fantasy football draft. And you know what, that’s just fine. As I wrote in my strategy guide for picking first overall, there isn’t a clear-cut No. 1 overall … read more » by Fantasy in Thu, Jun 8 |
Some years, picking first overall in your fantasy football draft is a huge perk. But in 2023, I’m not so sure. While there’s nothing wrong with getting the best player on your draft board, I’m not sure there’s a clear-cut … read more » by Fantasy in Tue, Jun 6 |
Finding a dynasty veteran sleeper for dynasty formats is the equivalent of finding dinosaur fossils. They just might not exist anymore. Tight end is a much-maligned position in fantasy football. There’s the Travis Kelce tier, and then there’s everybody else. … read more » by Fantasy in Mon, May 29 |
May is a month of transition. School’s wrapping up. The weather (at least where I live) is finally turning. The NFL is in relative hibernation, and other sports like the NBA and NHL are nearly their conclusion. Oh, and I … read more » by Fantasy in Sun, May 28 |

There is perhaps no bigger boost than drafting a mid-to-late-round running back who blossoms into an RB1. It’s the equivalent of winning the lottery in fantasy football and can dramatically improve your team’s chances of winning a title. Last year, … read more » by Fantasy in Tue, May 23 |
Mock Draft May is fully underway. And while the NFL goes into its version of “hibernation” before training camp, now is the perfect time to get some early prep in for your upcoming drafts this summer. Because draft season, and … read more » by Fantasy in Fri, May 19 |
Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott was one of the most notable quarterbacks at the NFL Combine. Prescott finished fifth in both the vertical jump and broad jump drills while running a 4.79 40-yard dash. The Clarion LedgerMon, Feb 29 |
Indiana running back Jordan Howard was quiet during the NFL Combine. Howard did not participate in the 40-yard dash and was a top performer in the vertical jump and broad jump drills. NFL.comMon, Feb 29 |
Oklahoma wideout Sterling Shepard was one of the most impressive wide receivers during the NFL Combine. Shepard tied for first among receivers in the bench press with 20 reps and also tied for first in the vertical jump. Shepard also ran a 4.48 40-yard dash, which was tied for the ninth-best time among receivers. The OklahomanMon, Feb 29 |
Mississippi State wide receiver De'Runnya Wilson might have drastically hurt his draft stock during the NFL Combine. Wilson's 4.85 40-yard dash time was the slowest among participating wideouts. His 28-inch vertical jump was also the worst among participating players at his position. The Clarion LedgerMon, Feb 29 |
Arkansas running back Alex Collins ran a 4.59 40-yard dash, which was the 15th best time among tailbacks. NFL.comMon, Feb 29 |
Eastern Kentucky DE/OLB Noah Spence was underwhelming in a variety of ways at the NFL Combine. Spence posted a 4.80 40-yard dash time, which was not overly impressive when compared to fellow edge rushers. NFL.com's Mike Mayock said he expected Spence to run a 40-yard dash time between 4.65 and 4.7 seconds. League personnel weren't impressed with Spence either. One exec told NFL.com's Kimberly Jones that Spence was not worthy of being a first-round pick while an unnamed general manager told NFL.com that he didn't know if he could trust Spence off of the field.

Florida defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard put up a good performance at the NFL Combine. The 6-foot-2, 283 pound prospect ran a 4.93 40-yard dash, put up 23 reps in the bench press and leapt 116 inches in the broad jump. NESN.comMon, Feb 29 |
Former Mississippi State wide receiver De'Runnya Wilson opted to forgo his senior season after hauling in 60 passes for 918 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2015. Wilson features prototypical size for an NFL wideout at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds. He has good hands and can be a reliable red zone option in the NFL, but there are questions as to whether Wilson will ultimately develop into a No. 1 receiver. Wilson doesn't possess great speed and does not do much after the catch. CBS SportsSun, Feb 21 |
There's no doubt Eastern Kentucky defensive end Noah Spence has talent. He displayed it during an impressive 2015 season when he recorded 11.5 sacks. But, Spence does carry some off-field baggage. He was dismissed from Ohio State in 2014 after failing several drug tests because of an issue with Ecstasy. He eventually received treatment and has not had any problems since. Spence tore it up at EKU, but a limited sample size against Division 1 opponents muddles the value of Spence's production. He can play both defensive end and move outside as an edge rusher. He has a natural first step and the quickness to blow by blockers. He will need to develop in coverage, especially if he's drafted by a 3-4 team. CBS SportsSun, Feb 21 |
