Top-10 Fantasy News Items that MATTER

Not all fantasy news is created equally

It is nice to know that “Devonte Smith has an elite skill set,” and “Jordan Tyson is the most talented receiver in the draft,” and “Keon Coleman is a critical player for Buffalo.” These news items provide noteworthy context, but are not directly actionable.

To help find the signal in the noise, I have identified 10 player news drops that were most actionable for fantasy football.

10. Alec Pierce suffered a significant ankle injury

The Colts did not select a WR in the Top-100, and Pierce will miss most of the offseason recovering from ankle surgery. This just further boosts Josh Downs’ sleeper status.

9. Nailor will be a major factor at WR

Tre Tucker and Jack Bech are all that stand in Nailor’s way of becoming the WR1 in Las Vegas. The offense will be much improved with Fernando Mendoza and a new offensive line coach.
