Fantasy Football Breakouts, Busts, and Locks - Chicago Bears 2022 Outlook

“The Monsters of the Midway” moniker has not fit the Chicago Bears in recent years, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Chicago has not finished with a winning record since 2018, and their offense has been ranked 29th, 26th, and 24th in the NFL during those three subpar seasons. The Bears have given […]

2022 Fantasy Football Sleeper: DeVante Parker

 DeVante Parker traded teams, but he did not trade divisions this offseason. Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots attempted to upgrade their tight end and receiving corps during the 2021 offseason by throwing millions of dollars at the positions. While some signings worked out (Hunter Henry, Kendrick Bourne), others have been abject failures (Jonnu […]

Allen Lazard: 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper and Undervalued Wide Receiver

The Green Bay Packers receiving corps was wiped out during the offseason. Top target and perennial Pro Bowl receiver Davante Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a treasure trove of draft picks, and big-play man Marquez Valdes-Scantling took his talents to the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, the Packers signed injury-prone veteran Sammy […]

D.J. Chark: 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper and Undervalued Wide Receiver

Urban Meyer may have turned Tim Tebow into one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of college football, but he did nobody any fantasy football favors when he “coached” the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. DJ Chark looked like he was going to be Jacksonville’s No. 1 receiver for several seasons after he posted a […]

Running Back PPR Rankings - Fantasy Football Tiers and Draft Analysis

The NFL might be a quarterback-driven league dominated by potent passing attacks and game-breaking wide receivers, but running backs still rule the roost in fantasy football.

Early Tight End Draft Rankings - Fantasy Football PPR Leagues

When is it way too early to worry about fantasy football rankings?  The answer is it is never too early.

Allen Robinson Signs With Los Angeles Rams: Fantasy Football Impact

Allen Robinson’s 2021 NFL campaign was the disaster of all disasters, especially for the fantasy football managers who rostered him. Robinson had the worst season of his above-average NFL career. He missed games due to COVID and hamstring troubles, had quarterbacks who could not get their wobbly passes into his sure hands, and was stuck in […]

Best Landing Spot for Jameis Winston's Fantasy Football Value

Jameis Winston deserved a better ending to his 2021 season, just like fans of “Seinfeld” and “The Sopranos” deserved better endings to their shows. Winston was arguably on his way to one of the best years of his inconsistent NFL career, if not the best, in his second season with the New Orleans Saints. In […]

Biggest Tight End Breakouts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

There were several tight ends who made their fantasy football general managers very happy during the 2021 season.

Biggest Tight End Busts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

The 2021 season was not kind to some of fantasy football’s top tight ends as not every highly-drafted TE put up the numbers Baltimore’s Mark Andrews did this season. Minnesota’s Irv Smith Jr., Green Bay’s Robert Tonyan, and Washington’s Logan Thomas all had their seasons ruined due to major injuries, and all three had the […]

Week 14 is the last week where NFL teams are on bye. Hip, hip, hooray!

The pickings will be […]

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14: Tyler Conklin, Gerald Everett, Evan Engram

This is not the week for the starting tight end on your fantasy football team to be on bye. The NFL should not made it that four teams had to wait 13 weeks before getting their bye, but this is what fantasy managers must contend with. It is either the last week or second-to-last week […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new offensive coordinator did not do much to change Engram’s role or the fate of the Giants offense this past Sunday, but Engram has been steady if not spectacular over the last five games (17-146-2).

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 12

You had your fill of turkey on Thanksgiving, so you do not want to be stuck with more turkeys in your fantasy football lineup this weekend.

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12: Pat Freiermuth, Evan Engram, Tyler Conklin, Dan Arnold, Austin Hooper

It is a huge week for football and fantasy football as the games become more […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Who predicted that Arnold would end up being the top target in Jacksonville’s passing attack this season, especially since he did not even begin the year there?
