Early NFL Schedule Leaks Ahead of Tonight's Reveal

In today's Fantasy Life Newsletter, presented by Hims:

The NFL Schedule drops tonight, but a handful of games have already leaked.

Let’s take a look at the stocking stuffers before we dig into the full array of presents tomorrow.

Here’s what we know so far …

Early NFL Schedule Leaks

Week 1 - Cowboys @ Eagles. The defending champs will kick off the season with a divisional matchup vs. Dallas. The league forcing the Cowboys to watch the Eagles raise their new Super Bowl banner is a pretty good bit.

Week 10 - Eagles @ Packers. I love that this game got leaked, as if there is a heated rivalry surrounding the tush push that needs to be settled on the gridiron. Philly should tush push it on 10 straight plays for maximum trolling.

Week 17 - Broncos @ Chiefs. You can let Mom know with plenty of advance notice that you won’t be able to help cut the roast beef on Christmas because you’ll be sweating the first game of fantasy championship week instead.

International Schedule. There will be games in Brazil, Ireland, England, Germany, and Spain this year. The Vikings will become the first team to play back-to-back international games in different countries (Dublin, Ireland, and London, England). Fun fact: Dublin is closer to London than Minnesota is to Green Bay.

We’ll be in your inbox first thing in the morning with reactions to the full release. See ya then …

🤔 How A Mint Can Help With Your Hair Loss

Please meet Hims, our newest partner here at Fantasy Life.

Among the hair loss products that Hims offers access to is their mint—it even comes in a tin!—that helps treat hair loss and helps regrow balding hair.

We all love stats here, so let me share a couple you may enjoy: 72% of “chew” customers have noticed reduced balding since starting treatment through Hims.* And 71% of chew customers have noticed “thicker, fuller looking hair” since starting treatment through Hims.*

This is a discreet, simple, modern way to help stop hair loss, improve growth, and anything in between ... And hey, they obviously love fantasy sports, if you needed another reason.

Learn more (including timelines, details, active ingredients, and more) here, and enjoy the fact that you can accomplish the impossible with something as small as a mint.

WR Super Model Refresh: A Pair Join The Elite

So just how good is Travis Hunter as a wide receiver? We’ll find out at the NFL level, but according to Dwain’s Wide Receiver Super Model, he might just have a future in this league. He got some company among the top WR prospects.

After the RB Super Model got a refresh yesterday, we’ve turned our attention to the wide receivers. There were more swings in the ratings at this position, with some players projected to get drafted going UDFA. Yet there are plenty of players worthy of your consideration in rookie drafts. Check out this refresh.⬇️

The 2025 QB1s For Fantasy Football

The offseason engine continues to chug along as we transition out of NFL Draft season, through dynasty rookie draft season, and speed into redraft season.

Trust us, it’ll be here before you know it. We’re less than 17 weeks away from Week 1!

To help get our redraft juices flowing, Kendall Valenzuela ran through her QB1s for 2025. Some are in line with our consensus rankings, some aren’t, and she details exactly why …

Recently made his acting debut!
The second-biggest star in his relationship … probably?
How is he this good, this young?
Caw Caw, or whatever Eagles say.
Rumor has it, his favorite season is winter. Brr.
His fans and critics alike have a thing for animals, whether a goat or a frog.
The only thing crazier than him is what he’s done the last two seasons.
Full-time gamer, part-time football player (we might have that backwards).
Not as Mile High on him as our other rankers
He’s Purdy, Purdy, Purdy reliable!
There’s no way he can fail in this environment … right??
WE ARE SO BACK

What, you thought we’d give them all away here? Kendall breaks it down. ⬇️

QB12 COULD BE A MASSIVE STEAL…

A Fantasy Goldmine In The Nation’s Capital

Jayden Daniels didn’t only surpass every expectation and lead the Commanders to the NFC Championship last season, but he had one of the most productive rookie seasons … ever.

Yes, ever.

Only three quarterbacks (Cam Newton, Justin Herbert, RGIII) posted more fantasy points per game as a rookie than Daniels (20.9).

Now, he gets another wide receiver with a proven track record of high-end production in Deebo Samuel … so, we ask—what’s stopping Daniels from being fantasy’s overall QB1 this season??

Could it be a spike season from Brian Robinson Jr., a potential late-round gem, that takes away from Daniels’ rushing upside and caps Daniels’ ceiling? If Ian Hartitz’s bold prediction about the RB1A in this Commanders offense comes true, maybe …

Regardless, if you’re catching our drift, this offense is ripe with fantasy football upside, but it’s important to evaluate the range of outcomes for the offense.

Ian dives into how to approach the Commanders in fantasy land this season. ⬇️
