Fantasy football rankings 2025: Breakouts, sleepers, busts from model that nailed C.J. Stroud’s down year
Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase was the top scoring wide receiver, running back or tight end in CBS Sports PPR leagues last season, and the NFL's wide receiving triple crown winner was only outscored by five quarterbacks in Fantasy football. That's evidence that a dominant wide receiver can be worth his weight in gold, and the latest Fantasy football ADP shows Chase going off at No. 1 overall in many 2025 Fantasy football drafts. However, going wide receiver in the first round does present a few problems, as running backs are typically more injury-prone, and identifying quality depth options will be a necessity if you're not getting a workhorse early.Who are some of the 2025 Fantasy football sleepers and breakouts that you need to be aware of before you go on the clock, and who are the 2025 Fantasy football […]
Eagles’ famous ‘Tush Push’ lasts another season: Why changes could be coming to league’s controversial play
NEW YORK -- There isn't a play as close to automatic when the Philadelphia Eagles run the "Tush Push." The Eagles have nearly perfected the controversial play. converting the play into a first down 91.3% of the time on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 situations since 2022 (including playoffs). The play defines the Eagles, in a sense. This isn't why the Eagles are 39-12 over the last three seasons, but the "Tush Push" is the play many teams -- and fans -- identify the defending Super Bowl. This is the play the league is trying to get rid of, and have failed to this point. "I just don't think it's a good looking play," said The NFL Today studio analyst and Super Bowl champion coach Bill Cowher. "I just don't think there's anything strategic about it."The league tried to eliminate the "Tush Push" over the […]
2025 MLB playoff picture: Baseball standings, postseason projections, odds as regular season enters last month
Getty Images The 2025 MLB regular season is in its final month. As the calendar flips to September, playoff races are coming into focus, some more than others. The AL Central, for instance, has been all but locked up for months as the Detroit Tigers have dominated the division. The Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers also hold comfortable leads in the NL East and NL Central, respectively. The AL West remains much tighter as the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners jockey for first place, as do the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres in the NL West. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have seen their AL East lead shrink dramatically in recent days.Both wild card races are heated as well, with the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Mariners holding playoff berths in the American League and Chicago Cubs, Padres […]
Predicting the five worst teams in NFL for 2025: Browns, Saints poised for bad years with dire QB situations
As another NFL season is set to begin, 32 teams will chase the dreams of winning the Super Bowl. Every team has an opportunity to win it all come Week 1, and a fast start can certainly alter the course of a season. Even though all 32 teams have a chance at a Super Bowl title -- and the parity of the NFL is stronger than ever -- reality has to be faced with some franchises in 2025. There are some teams that just aren't going to win a championship this season. Whether the quarterback situation isn't good, the coach is dealt with factors beyond his control, mismanagement of the front office, or the roster being bad, there's always a multitude of factors why some franchises are going to be bad every season. This holds true for 2025, as there are certain […]
Fantasy Football: Nathan Jahnke’s favorite 2025 picks
George Kittle is an all-time great: Kittle has both the best receiving grade and best run blocking grade among tight ends over the course of his career. Kellen Moore’s offense could benefit Chris Olave: Moore’s offense has put an emphasis on slot receivers, which translates to fantasy points. Olave could be the primary slot receiver for the New Orleans Saints this season. It’s officially “my guy” season at PFF — time to plant flags on the players we believe in more than consensus. For this list, I stuck to the players I’ve been most excited to land during fantasy drafts this year. Average draft positions are based on a consensus from ESPN, Sleeper and Yahoo!, reflecting where each player is typically selected in a 12-team redraft league. Last updated: Tuesday, Sept. 2 TE George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers (ADP: 3.10) […]
