Veteran Running Backs Set to Lose Touches in 2021

Late-Round Rookie RB Targets for FFPC Best Ball

The NFL Draft has officially concluded, and we've celebrated and wept as new player values were realized (Myles Gaskin) while others feel as if they've faded into the abyss (James Robinson).

Waste of Talent: Rookies in Bad Landing Spots

The days after the NFL Draft are the ultimate hype festival. It's like going to SXSW and thinking every band you see in a random bar is going to be the next big thing. Then you get home, and within a month, you've forgotten the names of over half of those bands. That's the draft. […]

Early 2021 Running Back Sleepers

Even with the NFL being a passing league these days, running backs still rule the roost in fantasy football.
