Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

I don't know how many times I've written this during the past few weeks, but here we go again: no matter how good a pass-catcher is, if he's not targeted often he will have no way to rack up fantasy points. With opportunities come chances to score points. Without them, catches are literally out of […]

Sophomore Slump: Breakout Rookies Who Could Bust in 2020

This past NFL season, we saw a number of breakout rookies like Terry McLaurin, Josh Jacobs, and Kyler Murray. While many of these players will maintain or exceed their fantasy production from year one, there are some others whose production will become stagnant or even take a step back. Second-year players can have a wide […]

New York Jets 2020 Fantasy Outlook 

How about them Jets though? After a miserable start to the 2019 season which saw QB Sam Darnold sidelined from mono only to return and see “ghosts,” the team rebounded well. The Jets started 1-7 only to win six out of their last eight and end up at 7-9. They didn’t make the playoffs though […]

D.J. Moore In Line For Best Season Yet?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore could be in line for a Pro Bowl season, according to Sports Illustrated's Schuyler Callihan. The 23-year-old emerged as one of the most dynamic wideouts in 2019 by compiling 87 catches for 1,175 yards and four touchdowns and did so despite the season-ending injury to Cam Newton and the […]

Carolina Panthers 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Carolina Panthers are in midst of roster turnover at a time when their NFC South division is looking ultra-competitive. With the Bucs getting Tom Brady, the Falcons retaining a high-powered offense, and the Saints still being formidable, Carolina has their work cut out for them to stay in the division title mix in 2020. […]

Panthers Like Teddy Bridgewater's Ability To Go Deep

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater wasn't asked to go deep often in the Saints offense that focused more on yards after the catch, but head coach Matt Rhule thinks Bridgewater "is exactly what we want." His 6.2 intended air yards per pass attempt last year is right in line with Drew Brees' 6.4 intended air […]

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Old Faces, New Places: Free Agent Fallers

There is no way to describe the average NFL front office. Each franchise has its own set of rules, follows different parameters when evaluating players, and builds its roster in a very particular way. Even with a clear mindset, an organization's principles might be tweaked in order to accommodate players into the salary cap, for […]

Why Saquon Barkley Should Be the 1.01 Pick

This might come off as crazy but hear me out. Yes, Christian McCaffrey had one of the best fantasy running back seasons in PPR history last season but Saquon Barkley should still be drafted ahead of him in 2020. 2019 was tumultuous for Barkley and the New York Giants. They officially transitioned from the face […]

IDP One-Man Mock With Multiple Personalities

For those of you in fantasy football IDP leagues (Individual Defensive Player), it can be hard to find content that helps you decide when you should draft defenders in your drafts, and when you should expect others to select them. To help you through this process, we are going to conduct a one-man mock with IDP players […]

Is Hopkins' Fantasy Potential Nuk'd in Arizona?

Wide receivers changing teams is often a red flag for fantasy owners. Learning a new offensive scheme while simultaneously attempting to mesh with a new quarterback can lead to unpredictable hiccups when projecting players in unfamiliar situations. In fact, since 2015, no player other than Brandin Cooks has changed teams and still finished as a […]

One-Man Backfields to Chase in 2020

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his […]

The King's Keeper Corner: Offseason Trade Strategies, Reader Mailbag

With not much activity going on in dynasty and keeper leagues right now, some fantasy players are getting antsy. Others are always trying to make trades to the point where they overdo it and never settle on an ideal roster. Yes, you should always look to improve your team in any format.  But there are […]

Dynasty Market Watch: NFC North

The NFC North has been predominately known as the defensive division in the conference. But in recent seasons, we have seen the less great play from the defenses which has opened the door to increased opportunities for fantasy scoring. In 2019, those offenses took a step back, whether it be due to injuries (Minnesota Vikings/Detroit […]

Later-Round TEs with Upside and Safer TEs to Avoid

This season I will be implementing a new fantasy football strategy. If you have been keeping up with this series, you know that by now! But for those who haven’t, I can give you a quick recap! My strategy is to build a safe base in the early rounds and then target pure upside players. […]

Curtis Samuel Critical To Team's Success

Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady said that wide receiver Curtis Samuel "is going to be critical to our success." Brady will be Samuel's fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons since he was the 40th overall pick in 2017. "I think Curtis is a playmaker. He fits the mold of what we're looking for […]

Panthers Defense In Rebuilding Phase

Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Phil Snow, 64, knows he has his work cut out for him in 2020 as he tries to rebuild a once-proud defensive unit that allowed 29.4 points per game in 2019 -- second-most in the NFL. Snow is installing an entirely new system virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic, too. The […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: NFC Edition

Imagine the feeling of using your early start-up draft pick on a bell-cow running back. He is a lock to get a majority of your team’s carries. He is going to be a major factor in the receiving game. Heck, he may just mess around and lead the league in rushing touchdowns because he is […]

Graham Gano To Compete With Joey Slye

Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano, who missed all of last season with a left leg injury, is set to compete with Joey Slye for the job this summer in training camp. Slye filled in last year and made 78.1 percent of his kicks (23rd in the league) and missed four extra points. Gano, 33, is […]

Christian McCaffrey Ranked As Best Back

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey was recently ranked as the 10th-best player in the league by Pro Football Focus. While his place on the list could be debated by many, fantasy managers will take comfort that the site still has him ranked as the most efficient back in the league. The 24-year-old was dominant […]

Born to Run: Why You Should Go RB/RB in Rounds 1 and 2

The draft strategies we implement in our fantasy drafts can change from season to season. One year it will be advantageous to load up with wide receivers early in the draft and the following it’s best to draft heavy at running back. This is because the player pool is always changing. We always have a handful […]
