Don’t Stop Believing - Odell Beckham Jr. as a Fantasy WR2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. exploded onto the scene as a rookie in the 2014 season as a member of the New York Giants. Injuries and inconsistent play since the 2017 campaign have led to some frustrated OBJ fantasy owners over the past few years. Beckham is coming off a torn ACL that […]

Boom or Bust WR Predictions: Aiyuk, Kupp, Golladay

Wide receiver is at least the second most important position in fantasy. In certain PPR formats, it can be as crucial as running back. One simple way to increase your chances of success is to focus on pass catchers working with reliable quarterbacks while crossing off those forced to dive for ducks or mutter at […]

Quarterback Sleepers and Draft Targets

Each year it seems like a new quarterback has a career season, and it's usually because they throw touchdowns at an alarming rate that year. These same quarterbacks are normally drafted aggressively the year following their breakout, and often times fantasy managers are left disappointed because they didn't match the output from the prior year. […]

Can Darrell Henderson Fill the RB Void in L.A.?

On Tuesday, news broke that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers would miss the 2021 season after tearing his Achilles.

Coaching Matters: 2021 Minnesota Vikings 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.

Cheap Best-Ball Stacks: QB/WR Duos to Draft Late

Best ball is a different beast than traditional season-long fantasy football leagues. No waivers or trades mean hitting the right draft picks from beginning to end is the sole determinant of success. This is quantified by win rates, or how often a player was rostered on league-winning teams. The results are often unexpected because it's […]

Deep-League Quarterback Sleepers

Some people climb stadium steps backward with weights strapped around their wrists and ankles. Others eat hot peppers by the jarful or build tiny ships inside bottles. The hardiest fantasy football degenerates test their mettle by playing in leagues so deep they must scrutinize the relative merits of, say, Andy Dalton and Drew Lock. They […]

Tight End Values: PPR vs Standard Leagues

It feels impossible--even more with the current pandemic we're experiencing still ongoing worldwide--but the NFL offseason can be considered over in terms of high-impact moves. The first-year draft and free agency are long gone, most players have extended their deals or found new homes, and teams are ready to start moving the rock come the […]

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 […]

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]

Late-Round Wide Receivers To Outperform ADP

Value. It is one of the essential ways to win a fantasy football championship.

While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff. […]

Late-Round QBs That Could Be League Winners

A lot of people take a laissez-faire approach to quarterbacks in fantasy. They'll wait until some predetermined round where they want to get their first QB and then they'll just take whoever is left then. And, I mean, hey -- that's fine. You could win a league that way. But if you manage to make […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coaching Staff Preview

The Deepest Dive: TE Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

You may have already seen my deep-league draft targets at wide receiver and quarterback. We can't forget the most glamorous of all positions - the tight end! I define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take part. That means each draft round would consist of 16 picks and there would be […]

The Deepest Dive: WR Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

After looking at quarterbacks previously, we continue our look at deep-league draft targets with the wide receiver position. I define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take part. That means each draft round would consist of 16 picks and there would be 240 (15 rounds multiplied by 16 teams) players […]

The Deepest Dive: RB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Following up on our earlier look at wide receiver sleepers and quarterback sleepers for deep leagues, it's time to look at running backs.

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 ADP Variations: ESPN Overvalued & Undervalued

The surest path to the prizes in fantasy football this year is landing one of the five elite quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, or Dak Prescott. They’ll provide a sizable week-to-week scoring advantage, often with their legs as well as with their arms that warrant the draft cost and then some. […]
