Sleeper Defenses for the 2017 Fantasy Football Season
It is exceedingly difficult to predict how defenses will fare over the course of the season. In 2016, half of the preseason top 12 fantasy defenses failed to finish top-12. Some of them didn't even come close. Others that were ranked highly barely stayed in the group. There are very few defenses that I consider […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are primed to win their division this season, considering the uncertainty around the other teams in the AFC South. The Titans finished last season 9-7, one game short of the playoffs, and saw their second year franchise quarterback, Marcus Mariota, get hurt in Week 16 against the Jaguars. Many around the league […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Los Angeles Rams
The Rams made their long-awaited return to Los Angeles last season, and it couldn't have been more disappointing. Their offense was abysmal, their defense didn't play to their potential, their coaches feuded with former players, even their stadium got delayed a year. Head coach Jeff Fisher was fired midseason after going 1-8 in his final […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Viking had a whirlwind of a season last year, as they got off to a hot 5-0 start, but only won three of their following 11 games. Their roster was plagued with injuries, but with that, a number of young players stepped up, and began to make a name for themselves. With a […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - San Francisco 49ers
The "2017 San Francisco 49ers" and "Fantasy Football potential" are not sentences that tend to go together, and that's coming from a long-time fan and one-time plane rider with Steve Young (Steve Young flies Southwest?! Celebrities, they're just like us) who understands the simple truth; the rebuilding process for this team runs through building up […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals were all over the place in terms of fantasy value last season. Carson Palmer disappointed, David Johnson dominated, and Larry Fitzgerald remained Larry Fitzgerald. Not much has changed personnel wise for the Cardinals, but these guys are all being drafted in different spots than they were a year ago. This team still […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Dallas Cowboys
This article continues our team outlook series where we will breakdown each NFL team from a fantasy football perspective. We will cover the major changes on each roster from this offseason and project what the team will do in the upcoming year. I'm here to discuss my favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. I promise I'll […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons came together perfectly last season. Everything seemed to be going their way, both on the actual gridiron and in fantasy football. After scoring the seventh-most points in league history, the Falcons made it to the Super Bowl, only to collapse at the last second thanks to everybody’s least favorite team, the New […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders come into this season as one of the favorites to challenge the Patriots in the AFC, and according to David Purdum of ESPN, the Raiders have received the most Super Bowl bets at some Las Vegas sportsbooks. Their odds have gone from 20-1 to 6-1, at some casinos. They finished last season […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers, along with a handful of other teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, have consistently been front and center in the fantasy universe for the past eight or nine years. They have provided a slew of high producing fantasy options at multiple positions. 2017 projects to be no different, but turnover at many […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Houston Texans
At first glance, the 2017 Houston Texans don't look like a fantasy football powerhouse. Despite making the playoffs last season, the team finished 29th in both passing yards and total yards. Behind quarterback Brock Osweiler, the team struggled to move the ball, struggled to score, and struggled to avoid turnovers. In 2017, though, Osweiler is […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Seattle Seahawks
This article continues our team outlook series where we will break down each NFL team from a fantasy football perspective. We will cover the major changes on each roster from this off-season and project what the team will do in the upcoming year. Today we look at the Seattle Seahawks. Known primarily for their defense, […]
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Carolina Panthers
2017 is an odd year, which means the Carolina Panthers should be good. They've improved their win total by at least four games in each odd year of the Ron Rivera era. The Panthers are 27-5 in the past two odd years. While the odd/even year theory is most likely just coincidence, it's hard to imagine […]

Pay Up! - Auction Draft Strategies
I did my first auction draft back in 2010. It was an unmitigated disaster. I had gone into the draft very familiar with player values and I refused to overspend. I ended up with a fantastic team...if you could start every player on a 16-man roster! The All-Value team failed spectacularly because everyone was good, […]
MFL10 Retrospect - What Worked and (Mostly) What Didn't
MFL10 is one of the fastest growing forms of fantasy football and can lead to a host of unique draft strategies. If you aren't familiar with it, let me explain. In MFL10 leagues, you put down $10 for a season-long league with a chance to win $100. The twist is that it is a draft-only […]
Way Too Early Fantasy Football Mock Re-Draft Analysis - Rounds 10-16
The later rounds of a draft are typically marred by a lack of attention. Your core team is in place, so the remaining rounds are filled with kickers, defenses, rookies, and sleepers. In a re-draft league, you need to make sure your backups are somewhat reliable, but there's always the temptation to grab that lottery […]
The 2016 Fantasy Football All-Bust Team
2016 was the best year of my life, as I got married to the girl of my dreams. 2016 was not as good to many others, however, especially in the NFL and in the fantasy football world. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, fantasy football owners and marijuana stoners! Please allow me to introduce the […]
