Framing the Draft: Tierable Wide Receiver and Tight End Profiles
This is an interesting class, with plenty of depth at wide receiver and tight end. Due to time constraints, we are combining these positions this week. I am going to put a bit of a twist on rankings, as this series will not just break down top-5s. Top 5s are important, of course, but it gets tedious to read about the same handful of prospects across multiple platforms. Therefore, we will delve deeper, examining a few players from various “tiers” of consensus rankings. 2024 was an absolutely bonkers class for the pass-catchers. We had three legitimate purple-chip WRs. Then there…

2025 NFL Mock Draft: A Fantasy Football Perspective on Offense
By now, most readers have seen countless mock drafts, and if you are anything like me, you are not tired of them…yet. However, seeing the same players rumored to the same teams can become a bit stale, or witnessing a writer craft a mock draft with “need” in mind only to guarantee a specific team ends up with a player passed over by many teams that already drafted. It can be tiresome, and I thought I would shake things up with this mock draft. Instead, this mock draft will only select offensive players for the team drafting. A current team’s…

Easter has come and gone and now the NFL Draft is almost here! Like… this week! Before finishing my “Framing the Draft” series, I have completed my final mock draft. I’ve gone through three rounds for this final draft; I hope you enjoy it! For brevity’s sake, we will not break down every pick in this mock. I will tackle a handful from each round with fantasy relevance. This is a predictive mock, although things get even crazier after round one. A lot of work goes into these mocks and I hope that leads to a few hits! Enough chatter,…

Framing the Draft: Tierable Defensive Tackle/Linebacker/Safety Profiles
This is an interesting draft class. LB and S lack talent and depth, while DT is flush with both. Due to time constraints, we are combining a few positions this week and going up the spine of the defense! I will put a bit of a twist on rankings, as this series will not just break down top 5s. Top 5s are important, of course, but it gets tedious to read about the same handful of prospects across multiple platforms. Therefore, we will go deeper, taking a couple of players to analyze from a few “tiers” of consensus rankings. The…

I am going to put a bit of a twist on rankings, as this series will not just break down top-5s. Top 5s are important, of course, but it gets tedious to read about the same handful of prospects across multiple platforms.

Let’s frame some of the players who can give you an EDGE! I am going to put a bit of a twist on rankings, as this series will not just break down top-5s.

Fantasy Football Breaking News
The New York Giants Sign Russell Wilson: 2025 Fantasy Football Implications
The New York Giants have added a veteran to their quarterback room, as the team has signed Russell Wilson to a one-year, $21 million deal. This price tag is starting quarterback money, so Wilson will undoubtedly be the day-one starter for New York with no competition with Jameis Winston or a rookie. From a real-life standpoint, I do not think much of Russell Wilson as a player at this point in his career. From a fantasy perspective, though, Wilson is a low-range functional asset in an offense and still support his weapons from a fantasy value perspective. For Russell Wilson’s…

The New England Patriots Sign Stefon Diggs: 2025 Fantasy Football Implications
The New England Patriots have finally found the wide receiver they have been looking for. The team has signed Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million deal. This seems like a lot of money for an aging receiver coming off a torn ACL, but it shows that Mike Vrabel and company are very much committed to Diggs and wanted the player in the building. From a real-life perspective, New England finally gets that weapon they have been looking for to help second-year quarterback Drake Maye. From a fantasy perspective, though, how does this move impact Drake Maye and New England’s…

The Philadelphia Eagles Re-Sign Zack Baun: 2025 IDP Fantasy Football Implications
The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed linebacker Zack Baun to a three-year, $51 million deal, bringing stability back to the linebacking corps of the Eagles. Let us explore how this move will impact IDP fantasy football in 2025. $17 million per season makes Baun the 4th highest paid linebacker on average in the NFL, per Spotrac. Last season, his first with the Eagles, Baun tallied 151 total tackles (98 solo/ 58 assisted), 11 tackles for a loss (TFLs), five quarterback hits, and one interception during his first season as the starter at the inside linebacker (ILB) position.

The Seattle Seahawks Sign Cooper Kupp: 2025 Fantasy Football Implications
After being released by the Los Angeles Rams, wide receiver Cooper Kupp has found a new home, as the veteran pass catcher has signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year, $45 million deal. This is a significant commitment to an aging receiver who has been frequently injured over the last few years, which shows that Seattle really wanted Kupp. On the surface level, this move might seem like a good fit on paper, but for 2025 fantasy football purposes, it is a bit more complicated. Cooper Kupp’s 2025 fantasy outlook is a bit complicated, mainly because of what the…

After the team moved on from Aaron Rodgers, it was clear that the Jets desperately needed a new quarterback for 2025 under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Glenn chose Fields, as bringing the young signal caller in looks to be a promising move. In today’s discussion, we will explore how this move affects the Jets offense fantasy-wise in 2025.

The Seattle Seahawks Sign Sam Darnold: 2025 Fantasy Football Implications
A massive quarterback domino has fallen in NFL Free Agency, as Sam Darnold has signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year, $100.5 million deal. After the team moved on from Geno Smith via trade over the weekend, it was clear that Seattle desperately needed to find a new quarterback in 2025.
