The Commanders Added Jayden Daniels and a Duo of Exciting Pass Catchers in the 2024 Draft, but How Long Before They Become Fantasy Producers?

Heading into the 2024 NFL draft with six of the top 100 picks, the Washington Commanders were in a prime position to rebuild their roster in a hurry. To the delight of fantasy owners, the team decided to kick off their rebuild by using four of their top 100 picks on the offensive side of the ball. With the second overall pick, the Commanders selected their new franchise quarterback, Heisman-trophy winner Jayden Daniels. Washington then didn’t waste much time in adding two new weapons for their franchise cornerstone; tight end Ben Sinnott at pick 53 and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey at pick 100.

While it does not look like Daniels will face much adversity in claiming Washington’s starting QB spot, both Sinnott and McCaffrey face considerable competition from veterans that may impede their ascension up the team’s depth chart. After looking at the path each player must take to receive meaningful playing time this year, should we be expecting them to help us win fantasy championships in Year 1, or would it be more beneficial for fantasy managers rostering the newcomers to focus on the future?

How Should We Be Prioritizing the 49ers’ Receivers for the Rest of the Season?

Kevin Szafraniec November 20, 2024

The injury storylines that we have seen come out of San Francisco this season have been some of the wildest in recent memory. From their rookie first-round wide receiver suffering a gun shot wound in an attempted robbery, all the way to their all-world running back’s preseason calf strain turning into dual Achilles tendonitis that culminated in a trip to Germany for treatment, the 49ers’

Week 12 Waiver Wire: Is Bo Nix Ready to Lead Fantasy Teams to Championships This Season?

Kevin Szafraniec November 19, 2024

The NFL schedule makers did not do fantasy managers any favors this year by backloading the schedule with bye weeks. With the talent on the waiver wire already scarce, Week 12 and Week 14 feature six teams apiece on bye after the previous high for any week all season was four teams. We are granted a reprieve in Week 13 with no teams on bye,…...

Week 11 Monday Review: Brock Bowers Makes History, Anthony Richardson Returns, and Taysom Hill’s Obligatory Spike Week of 2024

Kevin Szafraniec November 18, 2024

Some things just feel destined to happen. It’s always felt like Brock Bowers was going to do amazing things in his rookie year despite the lack of talent around him. We knew we would be seeing Anthony Richardson starting for the Colts again, but perhaps not as soon as it actually came to fruition. And it seems like a near certainty that every year Taysom…...
