Lotto Time - Late Draft Picks that Could Pay Off

During the draft season, we love to get hyped up on young, up-and-coming players.

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Should Go First in Dynasty Drafts?

The talk about who is the first rookie taken in dynasty drafts this year begins and ends with Giants running back Saquon Barkley.

Pay Up! Auction Draft Strategies for 2018

There’s nothing more exciting in a fantasy football auction when you have one of your top targets up and you currently have the highest bid. You hear the auctioneer yell, “Going once”, as your palms start to sweat with anticipation. “Going twice,” you think you may have just had a heart attack. “Sold!” You suddenly […]

Bear Down - Players Who Will See Market Share of Targets Decrease

In order for an NFL wide receiver to have a successful fantasy season, that wide receiver has to have the ball thrown to him.

2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL.

Evan Engram vs 2018 Tight End Rookie Class

Oftentimes, the learning curve for tight ends entering the NFL is extremely high. A common trend among NFL coaches is to draft several tight ends and develop them for a few years as blockers and receivers before letting them have a significant portion of the team's offensive snaps/target share. For fantasy football, the tight end […]

The Million Dollar Question - RB or WR in 2018?

What’s up fantasy Jabronis?  I’m taking a stab at answering the biggest question of all: What is the meaning of life? Is there life on other planets?

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)

The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before. Running the ball made a comeback this past season, as did spreading the ball around to many different pass catchers instead of zoning in one guy all the time. 24 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, compared to […]

Hayden Hurst Has Signed A Four-Year Contract

The Baltimore Ravens have signed their first-round rookie tight end, Hayden Hurst, to a four-year contract. Given the relative weakness of the production of tight ends for the Ravens in 2017, expect Hurst to get plenty of looks in training camp.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Tight End (Half-PPR)

Unfortunately, tight ends as a position have been losing value in the NFL for quite a while. Gone are the days where tight ends were fantasy points machines, as teams are spreading the ball more and more and using their tight ends as blockers. However, there are still several high-performance tight ends in the league […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Half-PPR)

The last few years has seen a fall from grace for the wide receiver position in fantasy football formats. Due to the changes in offensive structures of teams (more of them spreading the ball around), the list of top wide receivers has become smaller and smaller. However, that does not mean that there are still […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Just like loyal fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I had high hopes for the team entering 2017.

Everything seemed to be in place […]

Joe Flacco More Motivated This Offseason

Baltimore Ravens players seem to believe that quarterback Joe Flacco is more motivated this offseason. "Drafting Lamar [Jackson] and bringing [Robert] Griffin in, it’s lit a fire under him," safety Eric Weddle said. "You can tell. It has shown." Flacco is certainly on the hot seat, and the Ravens could decide to cut him if […]

Jimmy Smith Participating In Minicamp

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles) is taking part in minicamp practice Wednesday after tearing his Achilles six months ago.
