Born to Run - Starting RB/RB in Fantasy Football Drafts

Way back when I first started playing this wonderful game, this type of article would be superfluous. Obviously you should go RB/RB if you can. That was back in 2003 and for much of the 2000s, there was little debate over the optimal strategy - if you could get two quality RBs in the first […]

Drafting Quarterbacks in MFL10s

Entering the classroom fifteen years ago, I received prudent advice from a veteran educator: great teachers “illustrate their thinking” in order for the scholar to acquire a better understanding of the lesson. I took the sage suggestion to heart and have tried to illuminate students’ critical thinking skills everyday of my career. As a fantasy […]

Julio Jones Expected To Return At Mandatory Minicamp

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is expected to be back for mandatory minicamp in June, according to head coach Dan Quinn.

Dynasty Team Analysis - San Francisco 49ers

After an embarrassing 2016 regular season resulted in a 2-14 record, the 49ers performed a complete overhaul.

[…]

WR Rookie Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

This year’s wide receiver class was not supposed to be anything special. A couple of elite guys and maybe a few good players who could become starters, but they were overshadowed by the running backs. After the draft though, I am excited to see how this class performs in 2018 and beyond. A lot of […]

Extensions Coming For Jake Matthews, Grady Jarrett?

Dynasty Rookie Rankings Update (Post-NFL Draft Edition)

Boy, the draft can seriously turn things on its head. Pretty much the only thing that stayed steady from the pre-draft process was that Saquon Barkley is the 1.01.

Rookie TEs in the Best Fantasy Positions

Rookie tight ends are notoriously hard to project because so much goes into the position. Players have to be able to show NFL-level blocking and receiving abilities if they want to see the field early. While some succeed early, others take far longer. Last year was one of the most highly-rated tight end classes in […]

Rookie RB Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

We spent all off-season trading for top first round picks and hyping this running back class. Most felt it was just as good, if not better than the 2017 class. The draft came and went however and I couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed by landing spots for a majority of guys. A lot of rookie […]

Matt Ryan Agrees To Five-Year Extension

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan agreed to a five-year contract extension on Thursday that will make him the first $30 million per-year quarterback in NFL history, according to league and team sources.

NFL Draft 2018 - First Round Reaction

Well, I said it was going to be a wild draft and it did not disapoint. 2018 had twists and turns around every corner.

Falcons Take Calvin Ridley With 26th Overall Pick

The Atlanta Falcons selected Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley with the 26th overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. It gives quarterback Matt Ryan more firepower in the passing game, and Ridley could be the best receiver in this draft class. Ridley is very quick, but he'll need to work on overcoming press coverage. Ridley […]
