Navigating the Dalvin Cook Holdout
On June 9, 2020, Adam Schefter reported that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook plans to holdout from training camp unless he receives a "reasonable" deal. Cook is a young, ascending running back in this league and while he's very important to the success of the Vikings, he doesn't have much leverage. Player holdouts are going […]
Teddy Bridgewater Continues To Receive Praise
Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has received plenty of attention from his coaching staff as he enters his first season with the team.

Curtis Samuel Expected To Produce As No. 2 Receiver
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel could have his best season to date in 2020. Though he could produce even more than in the past with the stability of new signal-caller Teddy Bridgewater, he isn't expected to surpass the statistical output of D.J. Moore. The speedster out of Ohio State did lead the Panthers with […]

Late-Round QBs With Upside and Safe QBs to Avoid
I will be exploring a new strategy in fantasy football this season. I will be looking to build a safe base in the early rounds and then looking to avoid safe floor players who offer little upside afterwars.

The Fantasy Fallacy of Running Back Committees
Some of the scariest words a fantasy owner can hear is that their running back is now part of a committee (RBBC). However, people rarely look beyond this - failing to examine what this truly means, and how it impacts a player’s value. In simple terms, an RBBC is defined as having multiple running backs […]
Christian McCaffrey Can Do It All
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey led the NFL in scrimmage yards with 2,392 last year, with the next closest player (Ezekiel Elliott) at 1,777 yards. McCaffrey played 93.4 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, which was the highest in the league among running backs. His 1,262 scrimmage yards on first down were the most for […]
Panthers Hire Luke Kuechly As Pro Scout
The Carolina Panthers hired former seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly as a pro scout on Thursday. His new role will require plenty of film watching and advance scouting. Kuechly, who was also a five-time first-team All-Pro, retired after the 2019 season mainly because of multiple head injuries suffered throughout his career. He posted 100-plus […]
Christian McCaffrey Is A Stud
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey comes in ranked ninth on NFL.com's Nick Shook's top-10 explosive runners of 2019, but he'll still be the No. 1 player selected in the vast majority of 2020 fantasy drafts. He reached 15-plus mph on 96 touches last season, which was the most in the NFL, with 52 of […]

The Carolina Panthers released tight end Seth DeValve on Wednesday, citing a non-football injury, according to a league source. DeValve was a fourth-round pick by the Browns in 2016 out of Princeton.

Situation is key in fantasy. This is especially the case for rookies looking to make an instant splash in the NFL.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore and the team's receiving corps were ranked No. 8 in the league by Pro Football Focus heading into the season.

Christian McCaffrey A "Unique Back"
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey was recently labeled by general manager Marty Hurney as "a unique back," which ultimately served as the reasoning behind locking up the MVP candidate to a new deal.

Wide Receivers to Prioritize in Standard, Fade in PPR
Fantasy draft season will will be upon us before we know it.

Some still play standard leagues but these days, PPR (point per reception) formats are the norm. The only difference between […]
