The Yahoo Fantasy Football crew — Andy, Scott, Dalton and Matt — is identifying the specific players who have the widest range of outcomes this NFL season. Who could be a massive fantasy star — and who could never take off at all? Andy Behrens: If things break right for Trey Lance and he emerges as an impossible dual-threat riddle with elite receiving options at his disposal, then he can definitely challenge for QB1 status. In the two games he started last season, Lance had 24 rush… Source link

The Yahoo Fantasy Football crew — Andy Behrens, Dalton Del Don, Scott Pianowski and Matt Harmon — is identifying the specific players they’re having the hardest time to rank and project during this 2022 draft season. The most-hyped receiver of draft season is also the hardest to rank Andy Behrens: Gabe Davis is just a total ranking nightmare — unless of course you happen to be Dalton Del Don, in which case you simply call him the WR12 and move along.

I promised I wouldn’t say through gritted teeth, “Carson Wentz is the best quarterback Terry McLaurin has ever played with” and end up green-lighting him in fantasy this year. I’ve lived that life with Allen Robinson and dusty veterans in Chicago many times before. But based on my WR14 ranking of McLaurin, it looks like I’ve done it. We often forget that Taylor Heinicke, God bless him, was a backup quarterback in the XFL before finding himself on Washington’s roster. Whatever you… Source link

The NFL preseason is just about over. Following Sunday night’s contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, coaches will gather to discuss which players on the roster bubble will make the final 53-man roster. The final day to make that determination is Tuesday, Aug. 30. Teams must have their final 53-man roster submitted by 4 p.m. ET. Being on the roster bubble isn’t always a bad thing. Players who performed well in the preseason could find themselves traded to another club. Even… Source link

In this edition of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski talk about why the month of September matters for fantasy managers and drafting injured players. Video Transcript SCOTT PIANOWSKI: And one of my big concepts is I think September is an underrated part of fantasy football. Just a thought. And the idea that– all these ideas, oh, I’m going to– what’s the playoff schedule? And I’m going to crush in December. And I want to be 3-0. I want to be 4-1. I want to… Source link

I always believe that the release of the Dobber guide is the unofficial start of the hockey fantasy season, but many others consider the fantasy season begins when Yahoo opens their fantasy hockey site. The best part of the Yahoo site is the mock drafting, as it allows fantasy general managers to see which players have certain values before their actual draft begins. Yahoo rankings are broken into three categories: overall ranking, experts ranking and the average draft position. The… Source link

Yahoo has recently opened up its fantasy hockey, and with it, its mock draft rooms. Mock drafts are an important tool in understanding how your fellow general managers feel about certain players. It allows you to prepare different draft strategies in preparation for your fantasy draft. For instance, maybe you want to try the zero-goalie draft strategy, where you don’t select a goalie before a specific round. Mock drafts will give you a sense of what netminders may be available when you… Source link

An antitrust lawsuit filed by Phil Mickelson and multiple other LIV Golf players against the PGA Tour won’t see their case reach trial until 2024. U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman of California’s Northern District set the trial for Jan. 8, 2024, which would keep LIV players from competing in PGA Tour events for at least another year. However, the case could be resolved earlier than that through a variety of means, including a motion to dismiss, a summary judgment or a settlement… Source link

The battle between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour has reached the first of what will surely be many courtrooms. U.S. District Court Judge Beth Labson Freeman heard arguments from attorneys representing both the PGA Tour and a consortium of eleven LIV-affiliated players on Tuesday afternoon. Three LIV players — Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones — were seeking a temporary restraining order that would permit them to compete in this week’s tournament, the first event of the FedEx Cup… Source link
