Nick Mariano's PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. It'd be nice if we could avoid the word "sleeper" because it feels as though it has lost its meaning over the years, but SEO practices and the language of the fantasy landscape demands it. I believe it's important for each article to spell out […]

2017 Late Round Fliers for Fantasy Football Drafts (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. A good fantasy football player has a specific plan of attack for the later rounds of a draft. These aren't throw away picks. Or at least, they don't have to be if you study up and have an idea about which players have a […]

Best-Ball Sleepers - Who to Target Past Round 10 in MFL10 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. I like to view best ball leagues as two 10-round drafts. In the first "draft" you are picking proven players who can carry you week to week and present lower risk. There isn't a ton of value to be found here as most players […]

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 […]

RotoBaller PPR Mock Draft Recap - Rounds 2-3

Hallelujah, we’ve officially entered fantasy football draft season! Even though it is a good idea to focus on the here and now when it comes to players and their average draft position, I personally love looking back at mock drafts that began prior to August. The preseason is rife with player progress, setbacks, and injuries […]

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 […]

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, […]

Fantasy Football Auction Values Analysis - PPR Leagues

Auctions really don't get enough love. I am so much more excited for my auction drafts than I am for my snake drafts. There are a handful of players I am way more bullish on than consensus (which you'll see later on in this analysis) and in an auction, I know I have full control over […]

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 […]

Jared Goff (QB, LAR) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jared Goff had about as much fantasy value last season as Tim Tebow had. Maybe less. Goff did not quiet any doubters who thought the Los Angeles Rams were crazy to take him with the first overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft. He did not strap on a helmet until the second half of […]

Fantasy Spin - Jay Cutler Signs with Miami

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, forsaking a cushy job in the Fox analyst booth to reunite with former OC Adam Gase. He should step in right away as the starter, after acclimating himself to the offense and personnel in training camp. Meanwhile, […]

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, […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Carson Wentz has “fantasy sleeper” written all over him. Saying Dallas’ Dak Prescott was the best rookie quarterback in the NFL last season is akin to saying Justin Timberlake was the most talented member of N' Sync. While other rookie QBs like Jared Goff, Paxton Lynch and Christian Hackenberg had no fantasy value or actually had […]

Scott Fish Bowl Draft Review - Part 2

The seventh annual Scott Fish Bowl (a.k.a. SFB7) drafts have been completed. This is a unique format with rules that are unlike most leagues out there. I outlined the details and my attempt at a mock draft earlier this summer, which you can check out here. Now that the rosters are set, it's time to look […]

Scott Fish Bowl Draft Review - Part 1

If you’re one of the 12 people in North America that hasn’t heard of it, the Scott Fish Bowl is an annual season-long super flex fantasy football tournament that pits literally hundreds of fans and analysts against each other. The tournament also features some unique scoring rules. The primary rules to be aware of this […]

The Perfect Pair - Two Mid-round QBs Who Can Combine for QB1 Value

In my home league for fantasy football, I've adopted the strategy of avoiding all the top quarterbacks. Some guy I knew in college is definitely going to pick Drew Brees three rounds early and someone else is going to think picking Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady is a tremendous value--they'll never have to worry about the […]

Boom or Bust - Quarterback Projections for 2017

Ahhh… the question of when to draft a quarterback in fantasy football… a dilemma as old as time itself. Is it better to take a stud quarterback early on or to take your chances with depth at the position later? If you find yourself agreeing with the second option, you aren’t alone. It seems that […]
