After looking over a good amount of possible fantasy football draft steals among 2025 rookies, let's now go over some potential busts.
The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, so now it's time to start assessing rookies going into the upcoming season.
There's been some notable injury news in the MLB over the past week, so I'm going to write about the biggest fantasy players in this story.
After looking at Jordan Beck as a possible fantasy baseball waiver wire option on Saturday, I'm back a day later to look at another surging waiver option.
I've talked a little bit about how bad the Rockies have been early; we could go through it all day. They have the worst record in baseball (4-22) and are 13 games back in their division. You'll see memes on the first day of the season that say something like, “Chicago White Sox officially eliminated from playoff contention,” but even the worst teams aren't officially eliminated until after the All-Star break. We might see Colorado set a new standard in being irrelevant, even just a year after the White Sox set a record for losses.
I usually only publish fantasy baseball waiver wire articles during the work week, but I'm coming out with another article on the weekend. I'm doing so because I want to talk about Jordan Beck, who has been a trendy pickup over the past 48 hours.
The 2025 NFL Draft has been fun, with some notable trades and big-name prospects added to teams. The biggest story of the draft undoubtedly has been Shedeur Sanders.
For the second day in a row, we have a full slate of games but a dearth of streaming pitchers available. There are a few different reasons that play into our shortage, but the biggest thing is that high-level pitchers who are owned in fantasy are matching up against the worst offenses, like Roki Sasaki against the Pirates.
With the start of the postseason, it has been a wild week for teams who didn't clinch a spot and whose seasons are done. The coaching market is going to be hot in the coming weeks as it's likely we start to see the old boys club shuffle around until all the spots are filled.
The first round of the NFL Draft is in the books, and everyone is talking about this year's rookie class. I myself have already written nearly 2,000 words breaking down the landing spots of all 10 skill position players selected on Thursday night. But first-round picks are so impactful that their landing spots have huge secondary impacts as well, and that's what this article is all about. Let's break down the veteran players whose fantasy football values are on the move after Round 1 of the NFL Draft.
