Trey Lance: 2022 Breakout Candidate for Fantasy Football

As we are still months away from the 2022 NFL season kicking off, we must fine-tune our boards, formulate player tiers, and identify possible breakout candidates for the upcoming season. It's not nearly as difficult to pick players early on in drafts, the real work is done in the middle and the end of them […]

How Every Rookie RB Impacts Their Backfield in 2022 Fantasy Football (Round 5-7 Picks & UDFAs)

Each year, we see a handful of incoming rookie RBs finish as an RB2 or better in fantasy football. While the best rookies are typically those who are drafted on Day 2 or earlier (Najee Harris, Jonathan Taylor), there are also some recent examples of Day 3 picks and UDFA RBs who had great rookie […]

Is Zero RB a Viable Strategy in 2022?

Maybe the most controversial draft strategy in a redraft league is the idea that you want to wait until the 5th or 6th Round before you draft a running back. This concept gained traction after Shawn Siegele perfected it in 2013 by continuing to hammer the value at wide receiver and grabbing running backs with […]

J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards Have A Chance To Be Ready

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it's too early to say whether running backs J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) will be ready on Day 1 of training camp next month. Harbaugh said they all have "a chance," but he's more "hopeful" for Week 1 of the […]

Year-Two Wide Receivers Ready to Break Out - Rashod Bateman, Rondale Moore, Nico Collins, Terrace Marshall

Last year's rookie class featured some good wide receivers. Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle made quick impacts in the NFL, while guys like Elijah Moore and Amon-Ra St. Brown played well for their teams. Not every rookie wide receiver was instantly impactful. For some of those guys, it was a sign that they were heading […]

FFPC Best-Ball Tournament Playoff Strategy and Stacks - Drafting to Win It All

This is one of the best times to draft for best-ball leagues, especially big tournaments like the FFPC Best Ball Tournament with a $200k prize! Rookies are being overhyped and are still overvalued. A consensus ADP has just started to form into something that will change drastically in a few weeks once training camp and […]

The Deepest Dive - Wide Receiver Sleepers in 16+ Team Fantasy Football Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. Can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

ADP Fallers at Quarterback - Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett, Drew Lock

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you know what it is about. Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to […]

Rashod Bateman Could Thrive With New Mentality

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is anticipated to be the No. 1 option at the position after the team traded Marquise Brown to Arizona.

Holdout Still Possible For Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn't ruling out a holdout. Both sides remain at a standstill regarding a new deal.

Nevertheless, things could continue to get even messier moving […]

Lamar Jackson Wants To Play Entire Career With Ravens

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who said he's had contract talks with general manager Eric DeCosta this week, also said he'd like to finish his entire career with the Ravens.

2022 Breakout Candidate: Rashod Bateman

As we move toward the fantasy season, it is important to start identifying players that have breakout potential in the middle to late rounds of fantasy drafts. Hitting on middle-round picks provides important depth for fantasy teams and makes it easy to take chances in the early rounds for high-upside players. One of those hidden […]

Ravens Release Derek Wolfe

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team released defensive end Derek Wolfe (hip) with an injury settlement on Tuesday. Wolfe had another hip surgery on Monday after previously going under the knife in January for an injury that he initially suffered in August of last year.

J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards To Have Workloads Managed

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) are expected to be somewhat limited early in the season. Both players are coming off season-ending ACL injuries from last season. That being said, the Ravens are going to be cautious with both players, which means they'll likely keep more running backs on the […]

Lamar Jackson Is In Attendance At Minicamp

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has joined the team in minicamp. Last week, head coach John Harbaugh mentioned that he expected Jackson at minicamp despite him missing OTA workouts. The 25-year-old still remains without an extension, but the team insists that a deal will get done. It's possible that the Ravens use multiple franchise tags […]

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Lamar Jackson Anticipated To Be At Minicamp

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to be in attendance for mandatory minicamp. Both Jackson and the organization remain caught up in long-term contract talks. Yet, with the former MVP anticipated to report for an organized team function, it appears the stalemate won't prevent him from suiting up this season, even if a new […]

Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairs to Target

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Visiting With Ravens

Three-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul is visiting the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, according to a source. Pierre-Paul played in only 12 games last year and underwent shoulder surgery in February, so he may not be ready to go in training camp next month. The 33-year-old is nearing the end of his career and had […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Attend Mandatory Minicamp

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he expects quarterback Lamar Jackson to be in attendance for mandatory minicamp next week. "I know he's working hard.

Overvalued Backup Running Backs - Rhamondre Stevenson, Alexander Mattison, Travis Etienne

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

Ravens Agree With First-Rounder Kyle Hamilton

The Baltimore Ravens and first-round defensive back Kyle Hamilton agreed to terms on a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract worth $16.255 million on Tuesday with a signing bonus of $9.002 million, according to a source.

Running Back-Offensive Line Combos to Fade

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Ravens Optimistic That J.K. Dobbins Will Be A Factor

The Baltimore Ravens are optimistic that running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) will be a factor this season, whether it's in Week 1 or later. However, the Ravens will be prepared if Dobbins and Gus Edwards, who is also coming off a torn ACL, can't find their pre-injury form early in 2022. Fantasy managers should be […]

Players With Misleading Numbers Not Worth Drafting in 2022

When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season. No matter how experienced fantasy players are, those two numbers are thought of as the ultimate all-encompassing representations of every football player's value. Knowing what he […]

Ravens Sign First-Rounder Tyler Linderbaum

The Baltimore Ravens and first-round center Tyler Linderbaum agreed on a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie deal on Thursday. He'll be the third Ravens draft pick to sign, joining third-round defensive tackle Travis Jones and sixth-round running back Tyler Badie.

2022 Target Bounceback Candidates - Tight End

In the NFL and fantasy football, things can change as easily as the snap of a finger from campaign to campaign. One season, somebody breaks a record, and the next they are fighting for targets and struggling to produce. Based on game script, chemistry, and availability of weapons, targets can fluctuate for pass-catchers. In a […]

Cheap But Good QB-WR-TE Stacks in Redraft

When it comes to daily fantasy football, stacking players from the same team and offense on concrete weeks is a sound strategy. That is why elite DFS folks out there use that plan on a weekly basis. Data shows how around 80% of the best DFS results come from squads that stacked at least two […]
