Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott produced in his return from a gruesome ankle injury. But what will he do with a WR corps that looks drastically different this season? Ezekiel Elliott played through a knee injury for most of last season. Did that sap his production, or is he just getting old? The New York Giants get a new coaching staff led by Brian Dabble. Can he turn around QB Daniel Jones on the field and in our fantasy football leagues? Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay and Sequin Barkley's outl...

The Cincinnati Bengals blew us all away with a run to the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow comes off an impressive 1st full season but was also inconsistent. Is he about to regress or prove himself to be a top option? There are QB questions elsewhere as well. Can the Baltimore Ravens and fantasy players expect Lamar Jackson to rebound from an injury-marred year? Should we care who the Pittburgh Steelers choose between Mitchell Trubisky and Kenny Pickett?

The Las Vegas Raiders made a splash move for WR Davante Adams this offseason, pairing him with college buddy QB Derek Carr. Can we expect the target hog we saw in Green Bay? And what's the impact on Hunter Renfrow. The Raiders also replaced their coaching staff. How different might the Josh McDaniels offense look? What kind of workload can we expect for Josh Jacobs?

Jerry Jeudy hasn't quite lived up to his 1st-round NFL Draft billing through 2 seasons, but he might still be the key to the receiving group.

The only question facing Jonathan Taylor is whether he should be the 1st pick in every draft. The AFC South doesn't present a lot of excitement beyond the Indianapolis Colts star, but there are plenty of situations and players worth sorting through. The Jacksonville Jaguars probably get the league's biggest coaching upgrade over the Urban Meyer disaster. Will that be enough to deliver league-winning upside for Trevor Lawrence and/or Travis Etienne? The cheap ADPs on Evan Engram and the WRs pre...

Russell Wilson joins the Denver Broncos ... and a loaded division. Can he make the ADPs make sense for Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy -- or both? Is Davante Adams' target share doomed now that he joins college teammate Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders? Can we expect even more from Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams and the Los Angeles Chargers?

Best-ball fantasy football drafting -- especially this time of year -- tends to be about spreading your player exposures and building a portfolio. But that doesn't mean that you should strive for equal amounts of every guy. There are players going much later -- or earlier -- than they should. And that creates opportunities for you to attack the market. We're looking through ADPs from the main best-ball outlets to pick out who you should and shouldn't be targeting right now ...

It is officially rookie-draft season. So we invited Derek Brown of Fantasy Pros and Ben Gretch of Stealing Signals to all put our player opinions to work. Those 2 join Matt and Jared in mocking out 2 rounds of a 12-team superflex dynasty rookie draft. You probably won't be surprised that it took a little bit for the 1st QB to go. You might be surprised, though, at which player went first. As for how the rest of the 22 selections played out ... well, you'll just have to listen. Even if you pla...

We knew this wasn't a great NFL Draft for offensive skill-position talent. The NFL emphasized that with a 1st round that included only 1 QB, no RBs and no TEs. We did, however, get big moves for Jameson Williams and Chris Olave -- plus 4 other wideouts joining them on Thursday night. The biggest moves, however, might have been the trades of A.J. Brown and Marquise Brown. We're breaking down all the action that's set to impact your fantasy football drafts -- whether you're playing redraft, dynas...

Greg DePalma and the folks at Ourlads have been covering the draft for longer than most people have been playing fantasy football. So we asked Greg to help us dig into teams with the biggest needs at the fantasy-relevant offensive positions and try to find NFL Draft prospects who could fill those needs. We talked not only about a potential sleeper in this year's QB class, but 1 who could be in next year's group as well. We ran through some wideouts who could help offenses not just in Round 1, bu...

Last week, we previewed the RB and QB classes for the upcoming NFL Draft. This time, we're focused on pass-catchers. And the WR group this year looks like the best of the offensive bunch. Have we settled on a clear top 5? How many others could sneak into Round 1. Walter Cherepinsky has been covering the draft for years on his site, WalterFootball.com , so we asked him to join us in digging into this classes.

It obviously takes some good luck to win a best-ball fantasy football tournament. But the process is about attacking edges to set yourself up to take advantage of those lucky breaks. That's especially true in a full-season format such as that on Drafters, as opposed to the weekly playoffs that finish some other best-ball tourneys. Ben Hauver won the 2021 regular-season tournament, so we invited him on to ask what worked, how DFS and best-ball play feed each other and how he's planning to keep th...
