Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 8
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoTight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 8 Pickups and Adds
While there were plenty of movers and shakers on the fantasy scene, the tight end position didn't see as much volatility. Injuries have been the biggest story in the tight end world, but the tight ends remained healthy, at least during this past week. So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze statistics and projections to […]

Jason Katz 7 years agoAP in AZ - Adrian Peterson Traded to Cardinals
It is exceedingly rare that the NFL sees relevant in-season trades, especially from a fantasy standpoint. The last time we saw something like this was when everyone thought the Browns were insane for trading Trent Richardson to the Colts. Turns out that was grand theft of a draft pick by the Browns. On Tuesday, October […]

Before the season started, I was mystified at the high ranking of so many rookies. I even said to a friend that to justify the lofty expectations, this rookie class would essentially have to break records. As it turns out, it was well on its way to doing so (and still might). Amongst those leading […]

Jason Katz 7 years agoAllen Robinson - Deal or No Deal?
What do we do with Allen Robinson? Guys like him are some of the most difficult players to analyze. He doesn't have great straight line speed, but Robinson's workout metrics are otherwise all in the upper echelon of WRs. His speed, burst, agility, and catch radius are all in the top third in the league […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoStop that Hype Train! - Kenny Golladay
It's not the easiest thing to distinguish between legitimate hype and preseason buzz. Kenny Golladay should not be a legitimately hyped prospect. Not yet. While he makes for a tantalizing dynasty pick, he's gaining traction enough that he's appearing on ADP lists in re-draft leagues. This is a clear call to stop the hype train […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoPreseason Depth Chart Risers and Fallers
Over the course of the offseason, training camp, and the preseason, many names will be floated around as potentially having fantasy value. The preseason is typically when all that gets cleared up as depth charts are finalized, roster cuts are made, and we get some clarity on who is positioned where on each team. The […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoSleeper Defenses for the 2017 Fantasy Football Season
It is exceedingly difficult to predict how defenses will fare over the course of the season. In 2016, half of the preseason top 12 fantasy defenses failed to finish top-12. Some of them didn't even come close. Others that were ranked highly barely stayed in the group. There are very few defenses that I consider […]

We will cover the major changes on each roster from this offseason and project what the team will do in the upcoming year. I'm here to discuss my favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. I promise I'll […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoLet Sleeping Dogs Lie - Sleepers to Avoid in 2017
I'm sure you've heard this expression before. Every year, the word "sleeper" is thrown around a lot as we're all anxious and eager to find the next big thing that no one is really talking about. Well, sometimes you just have to let the sleeping dogs lie. As tempting as it may be to believe […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoFantasy Football Auction Values Analysis - PPR Leagues
Auctions really don't get enough love. I am so much more excited for my auction drafts than I am for my snake drafts. There are a handful of players I am way more bullish on than consensus (which you'll see later on in this analysis) and in an auction, I know I have full control over […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoPay Up! - Auction Draft Strategies
I did my first auction draft back in 2010. It was an unmitigated disaster. I had gone into the draft very familiar with player values and I refused to overspend. I ended up with a fantastic team...if you could start every player on a 16-man roster! The All-Value team failed spectacularly because everyone was good, […]
Jason Katz 7 years agoBull Rush - Players Whose Market Share of Targets is Bound to Increase
Each NFL offseason is ripe with changes that impact the fantasy value of various players. Whether it's the player's team changing or the player changing teams, there are many things that can affect a player's season outlook that have nothing to do with his actual ability. Opportunity is one of the most important factors in […]
