2020 Best Ball Guide – Where to Play and Pre-Draft Rankings
Just when we thought the FanDuel acquisition of Draft would be the end of Best Ball, it is back and better than ever for the 2020 NFL season. There are more Best Ball fantasy websites than ever offering players more choices, better promotions, and a better overall Best Ball product than we have ever seen before. What is Best Ball? Best Ball is a simplified version of season-long fantasy football. There are no waiver wires, no lineups to set, no trades to make, just draft your team and forget about…
2020 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule
A strength of schedule cheat sheet is an important asset for both the season-long fantasy player as well as the DFS player. Strength of schedule should affect the approach you take on trades throughout the season, and obviously has a massive effect on the way we build DraftKings lineups throughout the NFL season. We will be releasing two sets of fantasy football strength of schedule rankings heading into the 2020-2021 NFL season. The first, found below, shows each team’s SOS based on the 2019 stats for the opponents on their…
Best NFL Rookie Bets on the Board Following the 2020 Draft
The sportsbooks may be shut down in Vegas, Jersey, and across the rest of the United States, but there is still plenty of action to be found online. We gave out a handful of our favorite NFL Draft bets last month, and it is only fitting that we follow that post up with our favorite post-draft NFL Rookie bets available today.

2020 Quarterback Sleepers
Is there such a thing as a sleeper QB? While it is unlikely we see a quarterback ever jump from a preseason ranking of 25 to a top 3 player at the position, recent history has shown us guys can certainly make the jump from 15 to 1 like Lamar Jackson did last season. Our Favorite Sleeper QB Picks for 2020 We typically do not see true sleeper QB’s in fantasy football. Instead what we tend to see is guys making the jump from one tier to the next. For…
2020 Running Back Sleepers
The running back position is easily the hardest to find sleepers for. This is what makes it the most important position in fantasy football. The guys at the top of the draft are typically really, really good, and the guys at the bottom of the draft typically worthless. That being said, we think we have five RB’s that are flying under the radar right now and offer significant upside where they are currently ranked. Let us know which sleeper RB of this group offers the most value at their current…
2020 Wide Receiver Sleepers
The top 30 fantasy WR’s from last season featured several new faces that could have been considered sleepers at this time last year including DeVante Parker, Michael Gallup, D.J. Chark, A.J. Brown, and Terry Mclaurin. We will almost certainly have another batch of new names at the top of the position group again this season, but before we share our picks, let us know which of these guys you think stands out as a 2020 sleeper. Our Favorite Sleeper WR’s Highlights from the article we wrote this time last year…
2020 Tight End Sleepers
While many of the names at the top of the tight end position held up in 2019, we did see the value of players like OJ Howard and Eric Ebron drop, while Mark Andrews, Austin Hooper, and Tyler Higbee ended up being league winners by the end of the season. Our TE sleepers article from last season correctly identified Austin Hooper (TE 4), Darren Waller (TE 5), Mark Andrews (TE 2), and Mike Gesicki (TE 11) as our top values at the position. As always, there was a swing and…
Best Sleeper Picks for 2020 Fantasy Football Season
As we sit here, exactly three weeks away from an NFL Draft that, given the current state of the sports world, will undoubtedly shatter every ratings record ever established… maybe even surpassing Trump’s Coronavirus briefings, it is clearly far too early to lock in our sleepers for the 2020 season. But what the hell else do we have to do. For those that missed this article last season, these are not the deep sleepers, or even sleepers at all based on the traditional definition of what a ‘sleeper’ is. These…
