Shawn Siegele examines a veteran star with perhaps the most bizarre ADP in all of fantasy. Stefon Diggs entered the NFL as probably the most hyped RotoViz sleeper in the site’s history, and he proceeded to play quite well during his first five seasons.

Is he an overrated cult favorite in a ready-made bust situation, or is he the most important fantasy WR in all of football? After the first 10 WRs are off the board in 2025, we have very limited options for additional, non-rookie WRs who might join that group in 2026. Fortunately, we do…...

Kevin Szafraniec explains how continuing to operate with Buffalo’s offensive blueprint from 2024 should keep Josh Allen’s elite fantasy production going for the foreseeable future and why 2025 could be the year he and the Bills get over the hump in the AFC.

Kevin Szafraniec explains why there will be a thin path to success for a rebuilding Saints’ roster in 2025, but their top fantasy assets still have a chance to deliver through quantity, if not by quality.

Kevin Szafraniec explains why the Commanders’ moves this offseason have them in win-now mode, but the fragility of their offense could be cause for concern for their Super Bowl aspirations and fantasy managers alike.

Kevin Szafraniec discusses whether the New England front office has done everything possible to put franchise quarterback Drake Maye in the best position to succeed or if the Patriots are hindering him from reaching his ceiling.
