Can This Erratic 2024 Rookie Live Up to the Andrew Luck Comparisons with a Year 2 Rebound?
Kevin Szafraniec
April 10, 2025
Andrew Luck came into the NFL in 2012 touted as a generational quarterback prospect and proceeded to finish as fantasy’s QB10 in his rookie season.

This Unheralded WR’s Rookie Season Stacks Up With Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey, But Can He Sustain Enough Opportunity to Realize the Upside?
Kevin Szafraniec
April 1, 2025
The NFL draft always gives us a few future stars who weren’t household names when they entered the league. If you’ve been playing fantasy long enough, you remember what a force Brandon Marshall was. You might not remember he was only a fourth-round pick, and played sparingly in his rookie year before exploding over the next few seasons. His former teammate Alshon Jeffery was drafted…...

Kevin Szafraniec
March 26, 2025
After being selected by Atlanta with the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Drake London put up a solid rookie season despite dealing with poor quarterback play in a run-heavy Arthur Smith offense. Smith was fired after a 2023 season in which the Falcons experienced similar offensive limitations. The freedom of a new offense in 2024 enabled London to make a leap and…...
