The perfect draft.
It’s what we strive for in the world of fantasy football. Imagine a draft so impeccable that you barely need to make any roster moves all season, outside of dealing with injuries and bye weeks. It’s fantasy nirvana. And it’s within reach. (No really, it is.)
How can I reach such fantasy perfection, you may ask?
Lucky for you, I’m about to take you on a wild ride to fantasy football glory with what I consider the perfect draft. Since 10- and 12-team leagues are the most popular, I’ll cover both in separate articles. First, let’s start off with a 10-teamer.

The 2023-24 NFL season kick-off is almost here! OutKick is unveiling its team-by-team preview series. Over the past two weeks, we covered the AFC West and NFC West and the AFC North and NFC North. This week, we’re tackling the two South divisions, continuing with last year’s second-place finisher in the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers.
Carolina Panthers 2022-23 Record: 7-10
Carolina Panthers 2023-24 Win Total Over/Under: 7.5
Offseason Moves
The Panthers return most of last year’s team, which is better news than you might think.
To take Justin Thomas, or to not take Justin Thomas? That is the question on the mind of U.S. Ryder Cup team captain Zach Johnson and just about every American golf fan at the moment. According to former major champion Geoff Ogilvy, the answer is very simple.
After the Top Six players in the team standings earned their spot on the U.S. team following the conclusion of last weekend’s BMW Championship, Johnson will round out the team with six captain’s picks on August 29.
Ogilvy believes it would be a catastrophic mistake for JT not to be one of those six picks.
The NFL’s top 100 players. Not a new concept. We’ve seen the lists and how they change annually based on the ensuing performances.
But here at The MMQB, we’re adding a new spin. We’re forecasting how the top 100 will look after the 2023 season. Which players will rise and become stars, or grow into superstardom? Which players will begin declining either because of age or because of their situation?
So far, we have unveiled the first 40 players on the list, Nos. 100-81 and Nos. 80-61.

Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. checks every box for a superstar WR prospect in the NFL Draft.
The 2024 NFL Draft Class has the potential to be one of the better classes we’ve seen at the top. Of course, the headliners are the QBs, with USC’s Caleb Williams and North Carolina’s Drake Maye getting all the accolades and hype for being the potential top picks in the class.
However, the best player in the 2024 NFL Draft class regardless of position isn’t a quarterback, it’s Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
The 2023 college football season is upon us, and as such, it’s that time of year when programs lean into the hype and excitement by unveiling new uniforms to be worn during the upcoming campaign.
Whether teams are revealing new home and away kits or an alternate uniform for a special game, fans wait with bated breath to see what fits their favorite teams will sport this fall.
Schools across the country have been releasing new uniforms almost daily of late, and so it’s only right that Sports Illustrated compiles a list of the top 10 new college football uniforms for 2023.
The Boston Red Sox are still a little bit alive in the AL wild-card race, which means each game is crucial and the intensity every night is palpable.
That was on display Tuesday night in Houston when manager Alex Cora threw an absolute fit after being ejected in the the bottom of the seventh inning after he loudly swore at home plate umpire Pat Hoberg following an Astros walk.
Cora, who had a run-in with Justin Verlander earlier in the game, went out to home plate and got his money’s worth before finally exiting the field. The Red Sox went on to the lose the game, 7-3.
It’s been well over a decade since Reggie Bush forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy, but the former USC running back is re-igniting the fight to get it back as he’s set to file a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA.
According to a statement from Bush’s lawyers, the suit is based on the NCAA “maliciously attacking his character.”
“The lawsuit is based on the NCAA maliciously attacking his character through a completely false and highly offensive statement that was widely reported in the media and substantially and irreparably damaged his reputation,” the statement read.
As a reporter, you come to dislike clichés. But I caught myself saying one after staring at the lake next to the Seahawks’ training camp site.
I told myself that life was good after realizing I’m in Renton, Wash., many miles away from home, waiting for an interview with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during my first NFL training camp tour. Nine teams, five states—and thousands of stories to get to this point.
Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the roses. O.K., enough with the clichés.
I learned plenty about the nine teams I visited this summer and had a blast doing it.
Over the course of his major league career, former pitcher Dan Haren played for eight different teams over 13 years. But it’s his three-year stint with the Angels that’s given him an association with two generational talents in Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout.
It also allowed Haren the opportunity to reach out to the pair for some much-desired autographs. Unfortunately for the three-time All-Star, his attempts to snag some signed jerseys have not quite panned out.
