Terrace Marshall Jr. The Early Favorite For Third Wideout Spot

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. has been impressive during the team's camp, making a case for himself as the team's third starting receiver. Joe Person of The Athletic predicts that Marshall is the early favorite to win that spot, noting that the 6-foot-2-inch wideout has shown off his big catch radius at practice, […]

Dan Arnold Impressing At Panthers Camp

Newly signed Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold has been impressing at camp this offseason, according to Ken Bradley of The Athletic. Arnold presents a big target (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) and isn't much of a blocker. To this point of his career, Arnold has been put in situations to catch the football. However, he also […]

Fantasy Outlooks in a Minute - NFC Teams

I have been looking at data from the 2020 season since the Super Bowl finished. I have been looking at projections for the 2021 season for the past few weeks. I have been writing fantasy football columns from different perspectives for the upcoming year for quite some time now. Do you know one thing I […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Washington Football Team Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff. […]

Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions - 2021 Fantasy Football

After the chaos of last season, it's hard to categorize any prediction as outrageous or overly bold. The top two picks in fantasy drafts were complete wastes due to injury, UDFA James Robinson was better than Ezekiel Elliott, Jeff Wilson Jr. was a fantasy playoff MVP... and that's just at running back. Given the offseason […]

Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Reconsidering in 2021

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 […]

Zero-RB is an Excellent Draft Strategy in 2021

First things first, and this is where most people throw out the Zero-RB strategy immediately – it is not made for every fantasy football league. It is a draft strategy that is to be used in specific draft settings. Part of the reason Zero-RB gets such a bad rap is it is believed to be […]

Dan Arnold Emerging As Receiving Threat In Carolina

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold has earned the praise of his new head coach Matt Rhule. Rhule said the team looks to Arnold as a red zone threat, third-down threat, and vertical threat in the passing game, also calling him an "excellent receiver." Arnold is unproven at the NFL level, having tallied 51 catches […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2021

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limit the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense […]

Sam Darnold Sharp At Camp Wednesday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold rebounded to have a strong day of practice Wednesday. Darnold struggled during a mistake-filled session on Monday but was on fire during Wednesday's team drills, firing three touchdown passes, one each to Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, and Robby Anderson. Each of his scores came in the red zone, an encouraging […]

Keith Kirkwood Leaves Practice On Stretcher

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Keith Kirkwood took a hard hit to the head in practice from defensive back JT Ibe, leading to Kirkwood being taken off the field on a stretcher and Ibe being ejected from practice. Kirkwood was taken away by ambulance. The 26-year-old receiver isn't expected to play much of a role this […]

Dynasty Rankings Analysis - Tight End

There are plenty of talented tight ends in the NFL these days, and many of them are 27 or younger and perfect to have on a dynasty fantasy football roster for the next several seasons.

RB Committees Not to Avoid in 2021

Nobody likes a running back committee. Until you have to do so just out of pure logic. If we're offered the chance of drafting a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019, we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends up being. Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]

Josh Friedman’s Bold Predictions – 2021 Fantasy Football

Bold is in the eye of the beholder. When it comes to “bold” predictions, some fantasy pundits go for shock value. Others play it safer, opting for calls with close to a 50% chance of coming true. Perhaps the industry needs to create a blue-ribbon panel to decree what qualifies as a bold prediction -- […]

Robby Anderson Held Out of Practice Due To Injury

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson (illness) was held out of Thursday's practice due to an illness. Anderson was at the team's training facility, but trainers held him out, indicating that it's more of a minor ailment and nothing related to the COVID-19 virus.

2021 Standard Rankings Analysis: Wide Receiver

The NFL has become a pass-first league, and fantasy football general managers have adapted their strategies to coincide with this. There used to be a time where wide receivers were third bananas in fantasy football behind running backs and quarterbacks. That feels like when parachute pants were cool to wear, though, because receivers have become […]

Quarterback Sleepers and Draft Targets

Each year it seems like a new quarterback has a career season, and it's usually because they throw touchdowns at an alarming rate that year. These same quarterbacks are normally drafted aggressively the year following their breakout, and often times fantasy managers are left disappointed because they didn't match the output from the prior year. […]

Robby Anderson Will Look To Build On Breakout Campaign

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson will look to build off of a career-best 2020 campaign in his second year in Joe Brady's offense this season. Anderson operated as something of a target hog for Carolina last year, turning a career-high 136 targets- 10th in the league- into 95 receptions and 1,096 yards, both the […]

D.J. Moore A WR2 Who Could Finish Among Top-12 Wideouts
