IT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIMEEEEEEEE Yes, it is December 1st, which in my book means it is now acceptable to play Christmas music. She has broken free, but maybe that's not your speed. Perhaps the Dropkick Murphys sound more like your family at Christmas. Or maybe you're like us and just want some dang fries. However, you aren't

One way for us to get ahead in dynasty leagues and pick up on some value is to "zoom out" and look at where teams are headed in 2026. What teams could see significant changes, directionally, personnel, or otherwise? Today, we'll dive into the AFC South division and what the future might hold for each

For the dynasty folks out there, next year's rookies are probably already on your mind. For those of us who are not as "dynasty-brained" (like myself), we take late-round rookie flyers in redraft leagues, hoping one of them pops. We are now 11 full weeks into the 2025 season, and our team wanted to suss

Welcome to Week 10 of Angles & Leverage! It's the first week we've had this season, some truly uneasy lineup decisions this week, especially in DFS. I can't believe I was scouring stone-minimum wide receivers with actual intent to start one of them. It was gross! Four more teams are on bye this week, including

Yeah, it can feel like that sometimes. You do your best, you study the ADP, you listen to all the experts, you put more work into your hobby than you do your actual job, and crush your draft. Of course, some guys don't perform as well right out of the gate. "That's OK," you think
