Late-Round Quarterbacks Who Will Outperform Their ADP

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

FSGA Industry Experts Draft - Central Conference: What We Learned

This month, the Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association (FSGA) kicked off the 2021 fantasy football season with their expert drafts.

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Quarterback

In dynasty leagues, hitching your wagon to the right gunslinger is crucial. Unlike the turbulence at running back and unpredictability at wide receiver or tight end, quarterbacks can be consistent point-getters for years to come without the need for turnover. The biggest question is how to weigh youth versus experience. That's what we aim to […]

ADP Arbitrage - Quarterback Draft Bargains

Let's finish up this series with a look at the all-important quarterback position. When you're done, you should look back at running back, wide receiver, and tight end ADP comps as well.

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Early Summer ADP Risers at Tight End

Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player on your team. A high ADP (that is actually a low-numbered ADP) means that a […]

Savvy fantasy football players and high stakes competitors are already getting their drafting reps in at the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC site).

Quarterback Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

On the field, quarterbacks are the most crucial position of all. In fantasy football, not so much. This may be especially true in best-ball leagues where the highest win rates don't usually associate with the best passers. This seems counterintuitive since there is no possibility to stream QB or pick up an injury replacement off […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Terrace Marshall Jr.

The Carolina Panthers changed their QB situation this past offseason, bringing in former Jets signal-caller Sam Darnold to replace Teddy Bridgewater. In hopes of surrounding Darnold with a decent supporting cast, the Panthers drafted WR Terrace Marshall Jr. out of LSU in the second round of the 2021 draft. The 21-year-old Marshall will look to […]

The Grass IS Greener: Free Agent Moves that Will Increase Value

We've had a couple of months to fully digest what happened with NFL free agency and see how the NFL Draft impacted things, so now it's time to reflect on some of the changes around the NFL. No player leaves one team for another and finds himself playing the exact same role. New teammates, new […]

2021 Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

In the NFL and fantasy football, things can change as easily as the snap of a finger from campaign to campaign. One season, somebody breaks a record, and the next, they are fighting for targets and struggling to produce. Based on game script, chemistry, and availability of weapons, targets can fluctuate for pass-catchers. In a […]

Finding Value in Dynasty Rookie Drafts

In the world of redraft, every player in the NFL is on the table during your draft. In Dynasty, there is a startup draft when the league first starts where you pick from current NFL players. Every year after that, you have just one draft every year, and that is your rookie draft. Just as […]

Tight End Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Tight end isn't everyone's favorite position in fantasy football. Beyond the top tier, we encounter uncertainty, frustration, and the need to stream. There is no such option in best-ball leagues, though. Securing a high-end TE, especially in an FFPC format that uses TE-Premium scoring, is very appealing but not everyone can have Travis Kelce, nor […]

Take Advantage of Preseason Panic! FFPC Best-Ball Value Picks

With several weeks to go before NFL training camps are underway, all we have is speculation as to how things will shake out in the 2021 season. That said, we have plenty of drama because of a couple of high-profile players making headlines off the field. Then there are the smaller stories that also impact […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Michael Carter

The Jets were one of a number of teams pegged to take a day two running back that either waited until day three or did not take one altogether.

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Tylan Wallace

The Baltimore Ravens selected Tylan Wallace in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft. Wallace became the sixth wide receiver drafted by the Ravens in the past three years. Only sixth-round pick James Proche has lower draft capital than Wallace. He was also drafted behind first-rounder Rashod Bateman which complicates his path to targets on […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Trey Sermon

The San Francisco 49ers made Trey Sermon the fourth running back off the board in the 2021 NFL draft. Although this is a very weak running back class, that is still relatively high by comparison. Sermon walks into a crowded backfield, but one without a true alpha. When evaluating prospects' likelihood of NFL success, we […]

Early 2021 Breakouts: Quarterback

While it is early yet - no training camp, no OTAs, no pre-draft trades, is it really ever too early for fantasy predictions? Potential moves involving superstars Deshaun Watson or Aaron Rodgers could definitely shake things up. But for now, don't count the following gentlemen out as quarterbacks who could carry your fantasy team. Change […]

NFL Free Agency and Draft Winners: Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns, once a punchline, now have one of the best rosters in the NFL and are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Free agency was great for the Browns. Things only got better in the draft. The day started off with General Manager Andrew Berry and his wife welcoming a child and ended with […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Houston Texans Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well.
