Yahoo Sports and NBC Sports have teamed up to kick off the NFL and fantasy season with the first-ever $1 million Fantasy Football Sweepstakes.
By joining a private Yahoo! Fantasy football league, users can enter for a chance to win $1 million. Users can earn additional entries if a player from their fantasy team scores a touchdown in a Week 1 game (three primetime games) broadcast on NBC or Peacock. One lucky Yahoo! Fantasy user will walk away with a whopping $1 million prize. We’ll have some hints soon about which players will help them earn additional entries, but for now, you can learn more about the sweepstakes here.
If you haven’t already, join or create a league and let the fun begin. Now, let’s get ready for the draft!

🧐 Draft Strategy
Whether you employ a hero RB strategy, wait for the QB, emphasize WRs early or improvise, our analysts have content for every approach.

🗣️ Draft debate
📈 ADP Analysis 📉
Average draft position and its fluctuations are one of the primary resources available to fantasy drafters. Knowing how to best use it is another matter entirely, but we’re here to help.
😴 😳 Sleeper Pick
In fantasy, there’s nothing more exciting than when a non-star player makes it big in the draft — when a hidden talent is awakened. Here are some of our favorite hidden talents for 2024.
🚀 Breakout Picks
It’s hard to win a fantasy football championship without drafting one or two breakout players. Just look at how well Raheem Mostert did last year.
As always, we are here to help you identify such breakouts before they happen.
Quarterback advice
With more depth at QB than ever before, does that mean you should wait until later to acquire a QB or prioritize a superstar dual threat early on?
Running back advice
The running back position isn’t as versatile as it once was in fantasy, but 2024 presents an interesting development with some new young talent and old faces at the position.
Wide Receiver Advice
Acquiring a strong WR corps, the deepest position in the game, has been a winning strategy for the past few years, and 2024 will be no different.
Tight end advice
For many seasons it has been either Travis Kelce or failure at the TE position, not in 2024. This season we have some exciting toys to play with.
🏈 NFL Context Breakdown
While fantasy football is primarily a player-driven game, it’s also important to know and interpret the circumstances surrounding the player, including the team, division, and schedule.
