2024 was a unique year for running backs in fantasy football. The vast majority of them stayed healthy, and we had some serious hits early in the draft ADP, including all-time great seasons from guys like Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and even some of the ‘boring’ veteran picks like Alvin Kamara and James Conner were awesome picks for where they were going. In fact, we had 17 (!!) RBs with an ADP inside the top-90 last year, that produced an advance rate above expectation.

Betting on the NFL is becoming increasingly more difficult as the years go by and as the markets adjust. However, one market that remains beatable is player props, specifically season long player props. Over the last two years, we’ve gone 23-15 in this market, focusing primarily on taking unders.

Fantasy football drafters are quite reactionary, aren’t we? After all, we just had 17 weeks plus the playoffs to watch the season unfold. We now have data.

The NFL Draft is now officially in the rearview mirror, and the calendar has turned to May. That can only mean one thing: Best Ball Summer is so freakin’ back, baby! As we exit the pre-draft process and NFL Draft, we now have some clarity on what depth charts will look like for these NFL clubs…sort of. Right now, we’re still months away from training camp opening up, and that means there’s plenty of time for chaos to ensue. Right now, these depth charts right now should be put in pencil, not pen.

The 2025 NFL Draft is just a couple of days away! The first round kicks off on Thursday, April 24, and things are starting to crystalize in terms of what Round 1 might look like after the first 32 names are called. Because betting on the NFL Draft is an information-based market, it can be extremely valuable to source Big Boards and mock drafts from the top NFL Draft scouts and companies around the industry.
