Dear Fantasy Alarm Nation,
I realize that at this time of year you are swamped with all kinds of fantasy football research methods and techniques. You do this in order to get a leg up on the competition and I know that Fantasy Alarm probably isn’t your only stop on that path.
Everything we do here at Fantasy Alarm is designed not only to push the limits of fantasy sports research and analytics but also to make the process as simple as possible for our users. It is with this in mind that I created the all-encompassing Draft Book a few years ago.
The Draft Book is a one-stop shop for drafting the Jeff Mans and Fantasy Alarm way. You’ll notice that the Draft Book is designed to guide you through both snake drafts and auctions, with an advanced tier structure that ensures you are always getting the best value in your draft.
There are 224 players ranked in what amounts to just four printed pages, which will help you be free of clutter if you are doing a live draft. I am confident that the Fantasy Alarm Draft Book is the only thing you’ll need no matter what size or style of league you are drafting in this season.
Draft Book Facts
League Sizes: 10-14 Teams Leagues
Rankings based on .5 Point PPR

Player News
Dolphins signed No. 13 overall pick DT Kenneth Grant to a four-year contract.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Grant will sign his contract today. The former Michigan defensive tackle is expected to fill a major void left by Christian Wilkins, who left for the Raiders in the 2024 offseason. Grant totaled 32 tackles, three sacks, and seven TFLs in his final season at Michigan and excelled at stopping the run while also generating 27 pressures in his final season, per PFF.
Beat reporter John Hendrix reports that free agent WR Donovan Peoples-Jones is among the 16 players that the Saints will host for their rookie minicamp.
Peoples-Jones last played regular season snaps with the Lions back in 2023, when he caught 13-of-24 targets for 155 yards. He is highly unlikely to return to fantasy relevance at this point but could perhaps sign on as a special teams contributor.
Titans signed fourth-round pick WR Elic Ayomanor to a four-year contract.
Ayomanor will now begin learning behind Calvin Ridley. Although Ayomanor is unlikely to find a meaningful role in year one, dynasty managers should note his status as training camp gets underway this summer. The former Stanford receiver flashed big-play ability in his two college seasons.
Buccaneers signed seventh-round pick WR Tez Johnson to a four-year contract.
Johnson will serve as a rotational deep-threat option for Baker Mayfield. His thin frame (5'10/154) simply does not lend itself to the repeated hits one incurs in a full-time role. Johnson did earn 100-plus targets in his two seasons at Oregon, though. His big-play style make him a better fit in best ball for now, pending any major on-field breakthroughs.
Giants waived DT Casey Rogers.
Rogers was a 2024 undrafted free agent and logged 33 defensive snaps for the Giants in his rookie season. He is credited with zero tackles and/or sacks. He may find his way onto another roster as a practice squad option.
Vikings signed third-round pick WR Tai Felton to a four-year contract.
Felton is quietly in play to challenge Vikings No. 3 WR Jalen Nailor in training camp. Nailor (5'11/190) caught 28-of-42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns in his first season as a starter last year, with the latter category buoying his fantasy productivity. Felton (6'1/183), meanwhile, caught 96-of-143 targets for 1,119 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 2.32 yards per route run in his final college season. Fantasy managers should monitor Felton’s training camp reports this summer, as he could have a matchup-based WR5 role if everything falls into place.
