Fantasy Football Wish List
2024 Fantasy Football Wish List As we open the “off”season part of the 2024 NFL year, all 32 teams have a specific plan for improving. Even the two-time defending champs know they have needs to address, whether through impending free agency or the upcoming NFL Draft. The Fulltime Fantasy 2024 Fantasy Football Wish List approaches the needs of all 32 teams from a fantasy football perspective. What would fantasy fanatics like to see each squad do? Some of these options aren’t necessarily realistic but are meant to maximize the fantasy fun. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? AFC East Buffalo Bills – Find a WR2 This is a great free-agent and NFL Draft class to find an impact wide receiver. The cash-strapped Bills aren’t currently in a position to sign one of the premier veteran wideouts. However, Buffalo has the No. 28 pick in the first round and will be in a good position to acquire an immediate starter. Pending free-agent Gabe Davis hasn’t been consistent enough and adding a playmaker opposite of Stefon Diggs would go a long way toward the Bills keeping their Super Bowl window open. Miami Dolphins – Unleash De’Von Achane Let’s ignore how Achane’s unreal efficiency wavered down the stretch for a minute. Instead, let’s embrace the rookie rusher who posted the RB4 numbers in points per game getting 200 touches as Miami’s 1a. Yes, Raheem Mostert is still under contract. However, Achane showcased that elite top gear and Mostert will be 32. As a starter, Achane could be a Chris Johnson or Jamaal Charles-esque fantasy asset. New England Patriots – Draft Jayden Daniels For the first time in over two decades, it is a new era in New England. As the Patriots move on from Bill Belichick, embracing an athletic, dual-threat quarterback would be a signal that it’s out with the old and in with the new. New offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has a strong track record with quarterbacks and said he intends to build the offense around his players’ strengths. Daniels is an elite runner and passer and would be a huge step for the Patriots to return to credibility after a rare down year. New York Jets – Sign Aaron Rodgers Some pundits think the Jets signed Rodgers last season but I’m not seeing any stats for the veteran signal-caller. Instead, we suffered through an abysmal passing offense that had so much potential. Breece Hall was magnificent, and WR Garrett Wilson still managed to post WR2 numbers with Ham-and-Eggers under center. Imagine a full season with future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers under center. Insert rocket emoji. AFC North Baltimore Ravens – Sign Calvin Ridley The Ravens need WR help. More specifically, they need a consistent deep threat that can open up the offense and complement Zay Flowers. Marquise Brown (also a free agent) performed beautifully for the Ravens in 2021. Ridley just went 76/1,016/8 for the Jaguars and could post similar numbers with Lamar Jackson and Todd Monken. Cincinnati Bengals – Re-Sign Tee Higgins Reports indicate the Bengals plan to franchise tag Higgins. Hopefully, Higgins avoids a holdout and reports to camp on time. With Tee, Ja’Marr Chase, and Joe Burrow fully healthy next summer, Cincinnati would have a top-10 offense that would once again be very popular in the early rounds of fantasy drafts. Cleveland Browns – Bring Back Joe Flacco I’m a realist. There is no way that Flacco’s magical December run would carry over for a full season. But having him chuck it for 330 yards, three scores, and two picks every game would be awesome for fantasy purposes. Also, seeing Deshaun Watson wearing a knit cap as the most expensive backup quarterback in the league would be icing on the cake. Pittsburgh Steelers – Trade for Justin Fields This is the hot rumor of the day, and I’d like to see it. I like Fields, and reportedly Mike Tolmin does as well. I’m not sure how Fields would fit in a traditional Steelers offense. But at least Matt Canada is gone. Additionally, Fields has proven he can be an excellent fantasy option. With the Bears poised to snag Caleb Williams with the first pick in the draft, having two viable fantasy staters only strengthens the QB pool. AFC South Houston Texans – Re-Sign Dalton Schultz Houston has all the pieces in place to contend while they have C.J. Stroud playing for a rookie contract. The Texans will target a zone runner and could bring Devin Singletary back for a reasonable deal. Schultz posted top-10 PPR numbers and has already displayed chemistry with Stroud. Plus, the 2024 free-agent class of tight ends is barren, except for Schultz. Houston can add a WR3 via this deep draft class, but finding a proven safety valve for their young superstar thrower would be more difficult. A reunion seems like the best-case scenario for all parties. Indianapolis Colts – Re-Sign Michael Pittman Pittman emerged as a true No. 1 wide receiver in his fourth season. He ranked ninth with 156 targets, including a pair of games with 11-plus looks started by Anthony Richardson. Richardson was far more competent as a passer than many projected. That bodes very well for the Colts’ offense, which ranked 10th in points even with Richardson shelved for most of the season. Jacksonville Jaguars – Draft a WR With Calvin Ridley set to test the market and the Jaguars only having about $7 million in effective cap space, it looks like drafting a replacement is more likely than breaking the bank for a proven veteran pass-catcher. Jacksonville is set at RB,TE, and has two solid veteran wideouts. That’s a good landing spot for an incoming rookie. Finally, the 2024 rookie class is deep and talented. The club could target both lines early while still adding a quality receiver on Day Two. Tennessee Titans – Switch Full-time to Those Sweet Oilers uniforms It’s full-blown rebuild time for the Titans, who welcome a new head coach to begin
Super Bowl LVIII Betting Props
There’s no denying that Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest sports day of the year for pigskin fans. It’s also the biggest sports betting event of the year. One report indicated that over $23.1 billion would be bet on Super Bowl LVIII. Whether you are just a casual fan looking to buy a square or heavily into winning plays, our FullTime Fantasy‘s Super Bowl LVIII Betting Props has you covered. Speaking of fun for all, check out the FREE FullTime Fantasy Super Bowl LVIII Squares. These are some of my favorite plays from around the web for both the casual fan and serious sports bettor. Game Props Game props can be enjoyed by anyone because they don’t require a lot of previous football knowledge. Here are some of the Super Bowl LVIII betting props I like. Coin Toss- Tails Tails has hit in seven of the last 10 Super Bowls. It also hit in Super Bowl LVI when these two teams previously met. National Anthem UNDER 90.5 seconds Reb McEntire is an old-school country singer who seems unlikely to dramatically elongate notes for showmanship. First Quarter OVER 7.5 Points Normally I like targeting UNDERS in the first quarter. However, this line seems awfully low for two teams that ranked 3rd and 15th in scoring, respectively. All we need is an opening drive TD from Kansas City and any other score gets us there. Player Props If you followed our own Matt Brandon’s weekly Player Props, you did quite well this season. I asked Matt what lines he’s targeting for Sunday and a couple of player props stood out to him. Rashee Rice OVER 66.5 Receiving Yards The 49ers were slightly below average against wideouts this season. San Francisco allowed an opposing wide receiver to eclipse 60 receiving yards five times in their final six regular-season games. Additionally, the Packers and Lions had a WR top that figure in the postseason. Finally, our RDA* projections have Rice right at that 66 mark. Brock Purdy OVER 246.5 Passing Yards Kansas City has been formidable against the pass. However, Purdy had topped 250 passing yards in eight of his last 11 contests. With healthy total of 47.5 points, there should be plenty of back-and-forth scoring in this game. Finally, here are some of the player props that I like. Isiah Pacheco OVER 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns Harrison Butker OVER 1.5 Field Goals Patrick Mahomes OVER 4.5 Rushing Attempts Travis Kelce ANYTIME TD +100 Brock Purdy OVER .5 Interceptions Christian McCaffrey UNDER 18.5 Rushing Attempts Sign Up Before the “Big Game” & Double Your Bet Instantly With Edge Boost Offer is up for a limited time only!

Super Bowl LVIII Fantasy Preview
Back in August, many football fans correctly projected the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers would square off in Super Bowl LVIII. The Niners did their part as the NFC’s top seed, but KC’s path to repeating was anything but conventional. Regardless, hundreds of millions will be watching and our Super Bowl LVIII Fantasy Preview has all you need to know about this rematch of Super Bowl LIV. Using our RDA* projections, we can break down each game to find the statistical edge that can give us a leg up in playoff fantasy and daily fantasy lineups. Also, we can determine the best bets to make. Before you place those winning bets, our partner Edge Boost can help you double your entries and payouts! Click below to increase your winnings today. San Francisco 49ers (14-5) at Kansas City Cheifs (14-6) Time: 6:30 Eastern Location: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada Line: 49ers -1.5 Total: 47.5 Money Line: Chiefs +104, 49ers -124 Kansas City Offense Even in a “down” year, here we are with the Chiefs in another championship game. QB Patrick Mahomes is well on his way to solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest signal callers in history. Just 28, Mahomes and the Chiefs are playing in their fourth Super Bowl in the last five years. After a middling season by his lofty standards, Mahomes has been stellar in Kansas City’s jaunt through the AFC. He’s averaged 264.3 combined yards with four TDs and no picks in the playoffs. And our RDA* projections agree nearly perfectly with those averages, making Mahomes our top overall play on Sunday. San Francisco’s eighth-ranked defense was far better against the run (3rd) than pass (14th). However, that won’t deter us from inserting RB Isiah Pacheco into lineups. Pacheco has been a workhorse in the postseason, accumulating 69 touches in three games and averaging a robust 17.4 fantasy points per game. Taking into account the tough matchup, our RDA* projections aren’t that high. But, Pachecho will get his touches and is the favorite for any rushing scores the Chiefs punch in. Jerick McKinnon has been designated to return from IR. If McKinnon is activated for the game, he becomes a sneaky red-zone receiving threat. Also, McKinnon’s presence would cut into Clyde Edwards-Helaire‘s 25.7% snap rate in these playoffs. Update: Andy Reid stated that McKinnon is unlikely to suit up. We’ve boosted CEH’s numbers. WR Rashee Rice remains the only reliable wideout in Kanas City. The dynamic rookie roasted Miami for an 8/130/1 line in the Wild Card round. However, he’s been mostly corralled in KC’s other two playoff tilts. However, this is a solid spot for Rice, who is our No. 2 PPR wideout this week. Among players with 50 targets versus zone coverage this season, Rashee Rice ranks first in EPA per target and fifth in total EPA (out of 63). via SIS data. pic.twitter.com/2zte35lCHQ — Mauricio Rodríguez (@MauNFL) February 6, 2024 Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been in on 59% of Kansas City’s postseason snaps but has a middling target share under 9%. Justin Watson has seen his playing time decrease and hasn’t topped 50 yards since Week 11. Mecole Hardman has been seeing more playing time and occasionally gets the ball on a misdirection/gimmick snap. MVS and Hardman have some appeal in DFS lineups as boom-or-bust options. The safest bet among Kansas City’s pass catchers remains TE Travis Kelce. Undoubtedly, Kelce will receive more than his fair share of attention on the world’s stage. But the future Hall-of-Famer is more than worth of those accolades in fantasy leagues. Our RDA* projections have Kelce scoring the most points of any receiver or tight end in Super Bowl LVIII. San Francisco Offense Kansas City’s No. 2 ranked defense has set a record for most games not allowing more than 28 points. The balanced Chiefs allowed the second-fewest points and ranked fourth against both the pass and run. Still, Brock Purdy has made a name for himself overcoming the odds. From Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 NFL Draft to guiding his team to the title game, it’s been quite a two-year stretch for Purdy. The sophomore signal caller is surrounded by elite playmakers. However, our RDA* projections (238 yards, 1.4 TD) think Purdy could struggle against Kansas City’s elite defense. That puts Purdy firmly behind Mahomes, but still a player to consider in 2QB builds. The top fantasy option of this, and every week, RB Christian McCaffrey leads the way with a projected 19.7 PPR points. Fitting CMC into lineups can be expensive. Particularly in the captain’s slot. Regardless, McCaffrey is the safest bet on the board. He has an over/under of 123.5 scrimmage yards in this game. Elijah Mitchell has re-emerged as San Fran’s No. 2 back and has wracked up 25 touches in the Niners’ two postseason games. That kind of usage puts Mitchell on the radar as a solid DFS value on Sunday. WR Deebo Samuel has a much more difficult task. Led by elite CB L’Jarius Sneed, the Chiefs have locked down No. 1 wideouts all season. However, Sneed does not typically shadow and Samuel is often lined up in the backfield. That will allow Kyle Shanahan to get Samuel the ball in a variety of ways. Despite the matchup, Samuel is our No. 1 wideout to target. Brandon Aiyuk hasn’t fared quite as well against two-high safeties. That is the predominant formation the Chiefs use. Additionally, Aiyuk will see plenty of Sneed on the perimeter. Our RDA* projections have Aiyuk catching a modest four balls for 64.5 yards. Jauan Jennings caught two balls in each of San Francisco’s previous two postseason tilts but has a limited ceiling. Tight end George Kittle has had some success against this defensive scheme. However, the Chiefs surrendered just 10.7 PPR points per game to the position, which was the 10th-fewest in the league. He’ll see enough targets (including in the red zone) to be a decent start. But Kittle is overpriced in DFS formats. The most frequently used formation for the 49ers passing the ball has

2024 NFL Free Agents: Tight Ends
2024 NFL Free Agents: Tight Ends In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season.

However, free agency begins in March and is the first major “new” season event. Therefore, it is important to take note of which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft.

2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can shake rosters up dramatically. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to take note of which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. To kick off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis, let’s open with the most important position. This is our 2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. PLAYER POS TEAM AGE Kirk Cousins QB MIN 36 Baker Mayfield QB TB 29 Joe Flacco QB CLE 38 Gardner Minshew QB IND 28 Ryan Tannehill QB TEN 36 Jameis Winston QB NO 30 Jacoby Brissett QB WAS 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Tyrod Taylor QB NYG 35 Joshua Dobbs QB MIN 29 Carson Wentz QB LAR 31 Marcus Mariota QB PHI 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Drew Lock QB SEA 28 Mason Rudolph QB PIT 29 Trevor Siemian QB NYJ 32 Tyler Huntley QB BAL 27 Matt Barkley QB JAC 33 Kyle Allen QB BUF 28 Brett Rypien QB LAR 28 Blaine Gabbert QB KC 34 P.J. Walker QB CLE 28 Nathan Peterman QB CHI 29 Will Grier QB LAC 28 Jeff Driskel QB CLE 30 A.J. McCarron QB CIN 33 John Wolford QB TB 28 Brandon Allen QB SF 31 Logan Woodside QB ATL 29 Josh Johnson QB TB 37 Easily the top signal-caller available this year is Kirk Cousins. Cousins averaged 4,187 passing yards and 30.6 touchdown passes per season in his first five years with the Vikings. He was having his finest season to date in 2023 before a knee injury ended it after eight games. Cousins is still in his prime and could command something like a 3-year, $120 million deal this spring. This best-case scenario for fantasy would be re-signing with the Vikings. Baker Mayfield signed a modest 1-year $4 million deal with Tampa and delivered his finest NFL campaign. Mayfield threw for a career-high 28 touchdowns and led the Buccaneers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He exceeded all expectations and will command 6-7 times that 2023 salary on the open market. The Browns will have an interesting decision with re-signing Joe Flacco. Unfortunately for Cleveland, Deshaun Watson’s exuberant contract is fully guaranteed. Undoubtedly the Browns would like to have Flacco return, but he’ll earn a lot more than the $2.5 million he earned guiding the Browns into Wild Card weekend. Overall, Cousins and Mayfield are the only notable veterans who are fantasy-relevant. The 2024 free agents: quarterbacks class is very weak.

Our Conference Championship Playoff Preview looks at the games from a fantasy and sports betting lens. Using our RDA* projections, we can break down each game to find the statistical edge that can give us a leg up in playoff fantasy and daily fantasy lineups.

Kansas City Chiefs (13-6) at Baltimore Ravens (14-4) Time: 3:00 Eastern Line: Ravens -3.5 Total: 44.5 Money Line: Chiefs +170, Ravens -220 Kansas City Offense The defending champs got by the Bills despite being out-gained and losing the time-of-possession battle 37-22. Patrick Mahomes compiled a 131.6 QB Rating in Buffalo, throwing for 215 and a pair of scores. Unfortunately for Mahomes, this Baltimore defense is much more formidable. The Ravens boasted the top-scoring defense in football and ranked third in limiting fantasy points to quarterbacks. Additionally, the Chiefs still haven’t gotten much out of their wide receivers and Baltimore has surrendered just nine touchdown passes in 10 home games. Of course, you never count out Andy Reid and more Mahomes magic. Despite the tough matchup, Mahomes is still a viable option as a four-point underdog. RB Isiah Pacheco ran for 97 yards and a score in Buffalo. Although the Ravens have the NFL’s top run defense, Baltimore allowed a 100-yard rusher in four of their last five regular-season games. Also, Pachecho played 72% of KC’s snaps last week and is a capable receiver. Pacheco’s volume looks good, but the potential absence of Joe Thuney is worrisome. Rashee Rice has become the only reliable wideout in Kansas City’s offense. Baltimore allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to the position and will undoubtedly make Rice a priority, as the Bills did last week. Rice is the only wideout in Kansas City that can be viewed as better than a low-cost dart throw. Those boom-or-bust options (with much more emphasis on BUST) for the Chiefs include Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson, and Mecole Hardman. MVS and Watson play far more snaps. Kadarius Toney is OUT. The only other viable pass-catcher for the Chiefs is TE Travis Kelce. Kelce broke out of this slump in Buffalo, snagging a pair of scores and carrying fantasy playoff leagues. Baltimore only surrendered three touchdowns to tight ends this season and Kelce had his lowest TD output in four years. However, he’s by far the safest bet for fantasy managers looking for a KC stack. Baltimore Offense As clutch as Kelce was last week, his performance pales in comparison to what Lamar Jackson did against Houston. Overcoming a bland 10-10 tie at halftime, Jackson rushed for 100 yards and totaled four touchdowns to carry fantasy lineups and his Ravens to victory. However, the Chiefs present a tougher challenge. KC ranked second in the NFL in defense this season, including fourth versus the pass and second in points allowed. The modest over/under of 44.5 in an AFC Championship is indicative of the kind of battle this game is projected to be. Jackson remains the best bet to lead the Ravens in rushing. Gus Edwards is the de facto starter. But Edwards isn’t much of a factor in the passing game and is highly touchdown-dependent. Justice Hill led the backfield in snaps (39) last week and could factor in as an outlet receiver. Dalvin Cook only played in garbage time. But Cook has three-down ability and looks like a sneaky DFS punt play. Only two teams allowed fewer fantasy points to wide receivers than Kansas City. CB L’Jarius Sneed. Sneed is one of the top coverage corners in football and will pose a major problem for Zay Flowers. Sneed’s stellar play was integral in the Chiefs’ ability to consistently shut down opposing No. 1 wide receivers. Houston was able to limit Flowers to 8.1 fantasy points last week. Facing a far superior KC secondary, expecting a rebound seems like a tough proposition. Odell Beckham only played 20 snaps last week. He was out-snapped and out-targeted by Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor. If Mark Andrews can return, he’ll be a top-3 tight end in this slate. However, Isaiah Likely has fared very well in relief and is more than capable of making an impact. Projecting the Chiefs to slow down Baltimore’s wideouts makes both Baltimore tight ends viable plays in this game. The Ravens have won seven of eight and their strengths match up well with Kansas City. I’m not sure that the Chiefs will be able to score enough points in this one. It feels like Lamar Jackson is finally poised to win the big one. Ravens -3.5 Detroit Lions (14-5) at San Francisco 49ers (13-5) Time: 6:30 PM Eastern Line: San Francisco -7 Total: 51.5 Money Line: Lions +270, 49ers -340 Detroit Offense This is Detroit’s first road trip since Week 17 when they lost in Dallas by a controversial single point. We’re all aware of the home/road splits for Jared Goff. They were not as pronounced in 2023, but Goff must overcome that narrative if he hopes to keep Deroit’s season alive. Overall, San Francisco ranked eighth in defense and 14th versus the pass. The Niners picked off a league-leading 22 passes. However, a lot of that was gamescript-related. The 49ers allowed the third-most attempts due to playing with a lead often. Our RDA+ projections have Goff as the lowest-scoring signal-caller this week. But he makes an interesting option as a contrarian DFS option. Detroit will attempt to establish their running game to set up play-action opportunities downfield. However, San Francisco ranked third against the run. Expect David Montgomery to get the first drive and act as Detroit’s power back. The Niners did not allow a
