Matt Ryan Possesses Upside Against Seahawks

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has upside in a plus matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. Seattle has a good secondary, but the loss of Jadeveon Clowney leaves them with a questionable pass rush. Ryan has thrown at least two touchdowns in each of his last two meetings against the Seahawks and has […]

Julio Jones A WR1 Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Seattle Seahawks secondary in Week 1. Seattle ranked 14th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, so it is a semi-tough matchup. However, Seattle is a bit banged up, with Tre Flowers (ankle) and Jamal Adams (hand) nursing injuries. Jones is likely to […]

Five Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers for 2020

Something that doesn't get touched on enough in fantasy football analysis is the deep, deep sleepers. I'm talking "plays in a league with 20-plus roster spots and/or 16 teams" style deep, deep sleepers. So, let's talk about some deep, deep sleepers. Today, I'm going to be highlighting five wide receivers who currently are being drafted […]

Endgame Primer: Drafting For Late-Season Strength Of Schedule

It's never too early for fantasy managers to start thinking about the playoffs. Really. I know you might think you need to take the season one week at a time and all of that, which is true, but if you're reasonably confident that you're going to make the postseason, you need to be thinking about […]

This is the Season to Maximize #AllBenchRB!

Fantasy Bretheren, listen up.  There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello! These suckas each drafted six bench RBs in their league of record to shoot for fantasy gold. Actually I can’t support that last statement, but if you talk to them, tell them they […]

Michael Florio's Updated Draft Rankings vs Industry Consensus

Every single season there is a hunger for fantasy football rankings. Every single season people draft their entire fantasy football team off of a list of names ordered by their favorite analysts or site. And every year those people make the most common mistake when it comes to rankings! The mistake so many fantasy players […]

We're right in the heart of draft season, so it's the perfect time to release my final PPR rankings. These are tiered rankings organized by position.

Calvin Ridley Set Up For Breakout Year

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is locked and loaded for a breakout season in 2020. Ridley was red-hot towards the end of last year prior to his season-ending abdominal injury.

Falcons Release Laquon Treadwell

The Atlanta Falcons have released wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The former first-round pick's contract with the Vikings expired at the end of last season and signed with Atlanta in March. While he's never finished a season with more than 302 receiving yards, the fifth-year pro was expected by some to rebound in Atlanta on a […]

Hayden Epinette’s Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

With a strange set of circumstances surrounding this NFL season, there may be far more unexpected breakouts and stunning disappointments than ever before. This could be the golden age of bold predictions, as many surprising claims could become a reality. On the other hand, it could be unpredictable in the opposite direction, with the consensus […]

Hayden Hurst Says Falcons Are The Perfect Fit

In an interview with NFL Network, new Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst called his situation the perfect fit. The 27-year-old was traded to Atlanta from Baltimore earlier this offseason after notching 30 receptions, 39 targets, 349 yards, and two touchdowns last season with the Ravens. His role on Baltimore decreased in 2019 with the […]

Matt Ryan Poised For Another QB1 Season

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has all the pieces in place to deliver another top-12 fantasy season at the quarterback position. Ryan has his safety blanket in All-Pro receiver Julio Jones, a rising star in wideout Calvin Ridley, a former All-Pro at running back in Todd Gurley II and a potential breakout tight end in […]

Todd Gurley II Shines In Scrimmage

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II looked great in the team's final training camp scrimmage on Thursday. Gurley II has put together a couple really nice scrimmages for Atlanta in training camp and has earned the praise of his teammates, most recently, fullback Keith Smith and tackle Jake Matthews. The 26-year-old appears to be […]

The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman

Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task. If it were, we would all be winning more championships. However, sometimes a player jumps off the screen and the analytics jump off the page, making it a little easier. Kansas City Chiefs sophomore wide receiver Mecole Hardman is such a player. […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps. Even though more NFL teams are going with a running-back-by-committee philosophy rather than relying on a running back to be a three-down workhorse, fantasy rosters have to be […]

Boom or Bust WR Predictions: Brandin Cooks, DeVante Parker, Calvin Ridley

There is a tremendous amount of depth at the wide receiver position in fantasy football this season. At the same time, the trend of NFL teams using the running back by committee approach is making it harder and harder to find a bell-cow running back these days. Consequently, most football players have justifiably abandoned the […]

San Francisco 49ers Defense (D/ST, SF) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 16.3 (2nd D/ST) ANALYSIS: This pick should be no surprise, as it is the second-most-expensive among D/ST. But if you can get to the last rounds with the unit available you better get it. The 49ers rode a ball-hawking and dominant defense to the Super Bowl last year and it’s hard to point […]

The King's RotoBaller Challenge Draft Review

Fantasy Football is unique and often wonderful in how it can connect people and bring them together. The community aspect of the game has always made it so appealing, and it creates and sustains friendships and unique bonds.

Breakout seasons from Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, and more propelled the position to new heights in 2019. Fantasy players will no longer be overcome with a sense of […]

Updated Running Back PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Hitting on the right RB can win you a league. Christian McCaffrey was a monster in 2019, rewarding fantasy players who took him over Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliot, and in some instances even Saquon Barkley. Sorting out this year’s RB landscape could be the difference between winning it all and missing the playoffs. This year, […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year I predicted that Lamar Jackson would break the QB rushing record, Chris Godwin would have a big season, and David Johnson would struggle. […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work In 2020 (and Beyond!)

In the 1970s, you didn't have to go far to find a funky cool cat cutting up the dance floor in a polyester leisure suit while his pet rock named Morton rested comfortably in his pocket. By the 1980s, people had realized things like the pet rock, and leisure suits were lame. Instead, it was […]
