It’s Week 10 of the NFL season and one play has taken the league by storm. No, it’s not getting Tyreek Hill in motion so he can torch defenders. Instead, it’s the big boys in the trenches getting to work. Of course, I am talking about the “tush push” (or brotherly shove or whatever you […]

Ellis Johnson 1 year agoSleeper NFL DFS Prop Picks For Week 8
We are back with my four favorite prop picks from Sleeper for the early slate of games. For the second week in a row, we finished 3-1.

Ellis Johnson 1 year agoThe Fantasy Football Pie Shop, Week 4 (2023)
You win some, you lose some, and you can’t win them all. That’s the mentality I have heading into a redemption week for the Pie Shop. Last week, Dameon Pierce was our only correct selection. Ironically, he was probably the player I was least confident in. However, with Josh Jacobs, Alexander Mattison, and A.J. Brown […]

Who doesn’t love pies? Meat pie, shepherd’s pie, apple pie, banana cream pie — it’s hard to find a pie that’s not delicious. Much like a pecan pie, you’re probably thinking I’m nuts. But before you say I’m out to lunch, let me tell you how a Pie Shop is very relevant to Fantasy Football. […]
Ellis Johnson 1 year agoNick Folk (K, TEN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
Nick Folk has a reputation as a reliable kicker and he now has a new home as the Pats dealt him to Tennessee so that they could give the kicking job to Chad Ryland.

Ellis Johnson 1 year agoMust-Haves For PPR: Fantasy Football Draft Targets Include Darren Waller, Amon-Ra St. Brown, James Conner, more
Full-point PPR is a unique beast. Unlike its more popular younger brother, Half-PPR, receptions can truly make or break a player's fantasy football impact. I believe one of the most overlooked aspects of PPR is finding volume on bad teams. These are unlikely to be the most popular names, but they are the ones that […]
Ellis Johnson 1 year agoGreg Joseph (K, MIN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
Kickers in Minessota has a very dark history. I’m convinced half the people who don’t want kickers in fantasy are Vikings fans. However, Greg Joseph is starting to rewrite this narrative. #Vikings special teams in the first half. - Greg Joseph: 3/3 FGA - Aaron Dykes: 2 KR, 64 yards - Tay Gowan fumble recovery […]
Ellis Johnson 1 year agoFantasy Football Kickers - 2023 Draft Targets and Sleepers Include Nick Folk, Jason Meyers, Greg Joseph, more
The NFL season is just about to kick off, and we need to talk about kickers. I’m firmly in the camp that for redraft leagues, kickers should be part of fantasy football. However, if you want to nerf their scoring, I have no issues. Either way, most leagues have kickers scoring at full force. In […]
Ellis Johnson 1 year agoTargets and Avoids: Second-Contract Running Backs for Fantasy Football Drafts
Second-contract running backs have become some of the scariest players on the roster. It’s no secret that production has historically decreased once their second deal is signed. However, is the drop-off really that scary? Devonta Freeman, Todd Gurley, and David Johnson highlight the busts of this group. Since these big names fell off, there have […]
