The King's Updated 2020 Fantasy Football Rankings (Premium Content)

Here are the latest fantasy football rankings in all formats, including PPR, Half PPR and non-PPR. In the case of the last category, I am not going to call it “standard” anymore, as non-PPR does not seem to be the  true scoring system used by most savvy players nowadays. The first order of business is […]

Falcons Sign Former First-Round Pick Darqueze Dennard

The Atlanta Falcons signed cornerback Darqueze Dennard on Thursday. The former first-round pick from the 2014 draft had previously agreed to a three-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the deal fell through after the two parties couldn't hammer out the final contract numbers.

WR/TE Stat Analysis: Catch Rate and Drawn Pass Interference

When it comes to drafting stud wide receivers and tight ends, we all pursue the same stats: receptions, yards, and touchdowns. It makes sense.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley could be due for a breakout season, according to CBS Sports' Heath Cummings.

Engel's Angles: The DK Metcalf Love Affair Is Real

Early ADP Variations: Yahoo's Overvalued and Undervalued Players

Every fantasy football platform is different.

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team in our rosters, let alone weekly lineups.

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver
