2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Tight Ends

Recently, I introduced three metrics for fantasy football: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple. Take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player overperformed or underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that in mind, […]

Veterans That May Be Impacted By The NFL Draft

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Wide Receivers

I am introducing three metrics for fantasy football for the 2020 season: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple: take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player over/underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position.

2020 XFL Receiver Comps From The NFL

You don't miss something until it's gone, they say. The current situation regarding COVID-19 has put the whole sports world on hiatus, but it has impacted one league more than any other. The XFL, that is, as its first season has been canceled amid the expansion of the virus, and we will have to wait […]

Early 2020 Sleepers - Running Backs

The top players at the running back position are well known. They are tried and true and never fail to live up to the billing.

Derek Wolfe Gets One-Year Deal From Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens agreed to a one-year, $3 million fully guaranteed deal with defensive end Derek Wolfe on Saturday. Wolfe can earn $3 million more in incentives.

Ravens Bring Back Chris Moore

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed wide receiver Chris Moore to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Moore caught a career-low three passes for 21 yards in his fourth season with Baltimore, but his exploits on special teams bought him another chance with the organization. He was a fourth-round selection in 2016 and has caught 47 passes […]

Amidst the flurry of signings and trades that have occurred at the start of NFL free agency, an under-the-radar move took place early on. 2018 first-round pick Hayden Hurst of the Baltimore Ravens was traded to the Atlanta Falcons. This filled a need at the TE spot with Austin Hooper bolting for Cleveland through a […]

Tannehill Back with Titans: Fantasy Impact

The deal is done. No, not a deal to make Tom Brady the quarterback of the Titans. He prefers Florida apparently. Instead, it is the deal to keep Ryan Tannehill with the team for four more seasons at $118 million. Not only did this move make the most sense but it also freed up the […]
