David Njoku Now Committed To Browns
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has decided to "give the team his full commitment" according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Njoku requested a trade from Cleveland last month but reportedly had some positive meetings with the organization, including general manager Andrew Berry. Those who were hoping Njoku would land with a team that would […]
Yes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is a First-Round Pick
Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be a top-10 RB going off the board in the first round. That statement shouldn’t be controversial, but people are always hesitant to pay that high of a price for a player we haven’t seen in the NFL before. But you should not let that fear scare you from drafting CEH. Clyde […]
Jarvis Landry Remains On Schedule
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) remains on track in his rehab, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Landry had surgery to repair his hip back on February 4 and, according to Stefanski, is targeting a return to the field sometime in August. When asked just how much Landry would be able to participate […]
Browns Still Believe In David Njoku
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku requested a trade from the team last month after the team added other tight ends to the roster, most notably Austin Hooper. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked about Njoku recently and stated, “My stance hasn’t changed. The organization’s stance hasn’t changed in that we believe in David.” Stefanski […]
ADP Variations: NFFC Overvalued and Undervalued
As you prepare for each draft, multiple factors are incorporated into your analysis of every selection. In addition to considering the specifics of your league’s scoring and lineup composition, your decision-making process can involve researching data, reviewing film, studying the tendencies of offensive decision-makers, and generating projections for each performer. Your draft planning will also […]
WR/TE Stat Analysis: Catch Rate and Drawn Pass Interference
When it comes to drafting stud wide receivers and tight ends, we all pursue the same stats: receptions, yards, and touchdowns. It makes sense. Those three stats are the ones that ultimately yield actual, tangible fantasy points in every fantasy league, no matter the format. The savviest fantasy GMs often focus on targets, as without […]
Nick Chubb Still Has Plenty Of Upside
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb still has plenty of upside this season despite the presence of Kareem Hunt. According to Sports Illustrated's Pete Smith, though Hunt may get some carries throughout the year, it is probable that he will get most of his work catching passes, while likely also being utilized as a third […]
Dynasty Market Watch: NFC South
The NFC South has been full of fantasy talent for several years now. Some of the better players in the game reside in this division and are popular selections at the top of drafts. Players like Christian McCaffrey and Michael Thomas are firmly inside the first round in redraft leagues and are cornerstones for dynasty […]

Finding Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairings
Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that correlates […]

D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight
The Detroit Lions have been looking for a franchise running back since the days of the greatest pure runner of all time, Barry Sanders. Since Sanders retired after the 1998 season, the Lions have only had three players surpass 1,000 yards rushing, the last of which was Reggie Bush in 2013. In fact, since they […]
Browns Sign Rookie Grant Delpit
The Cleveland Browns signed second-round safety Grant Delpit to his four-year rookie contract on Wednesday. The deal is worth roughly $7.465 million, including a $2.989 million signing bonus. Cleveland's main attraction to Delpit was the fact that he's extremely versatile on defense. He's expected to challenge right away at the free safety spot and could […]
Top Five Backfields To Handcuff in Fantasy Drafts
One of the most crucial things a fantasy player can do is have the foresight to build a lineup that maximizes talent while also minimizing the risk of player injuries or holdouts. This process is even more important looking to the 2020 season with the added risk of COVID-19 sidelining players. My previous articles looked […]
Indianapolis Colts 2020 Fantasy Outlook
2019 ended up being a transition year for the Indianapolis Colts after the bombshell retirement of QB Andrew Luck right before the campaign began. Backup Jacoby Brissett once again took the helm for Indy and guided them to a 7-9 record. That wasn’t enough to reach the playoffs and now the Colts have missed them […]
Browns Finalizing Extension For Myles Garrett
The Cleveland Browns are finalizing a five-year contract extension with star pass-rusher Myles Garrett worth $125 million, according to a league source. The deal will be worth a total of $144 million over seven years, which would make Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. The 24-year-old is expected to sign the deal as early […]
New York Giants 2020 Fantasy Outlook
2019 was just another year filled with struggles for those New York Football Giants. The G-Men quickly benched longtime QB starter Eli Manning after just two starts (both losses) and tossed rookie Daniel Jones (the much-maligned sixth pick in the 2019 draft) into the fire in just Week 3. Though the rookie QB played an […]
Boom or Bust - Quarterback Predictions for 2020
Quarterbacks are frequently devalued in drafts compared to their running back and wide receiver peers, and for good reason. Despite being the highest-scoring position in fantasy football in most systems, many drafters will take multiple players at other positions before taking a quarterback. A large tier of serviceable yet interchangeable passers typically exists each year, […]
Early ADP Variations: Yahoo's Overvalued and Undervalued Players
Every fantasy football platform is different. There are the obvious ways they differ -- the way their apps look, the different drafting interfaces, etc. -- but there are also less obvious ways they differ. One of those ways is how their rankings and ADP look. Because there's no such thing as a universal rankings order […]
PPR Draft Targets - Undervalued Running Backs
For fantasy football GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war-rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the format of the league we're going to be part of. The difference between Standard and PPR (Point-Per-Reception) scoring systems is […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition
Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at […]
One Year Away: Players to Stash in Dynasty for Next Season
The 2020 NFL season is going to be a weird one because of COVID-19. With fewer offseason activities and fewer preseason games, teams will rely on veteran talent more than usual, pushing young players down the depth charts. One thing that means for dynasty managers is that if you're in win-now mode, you have less […]
What to Expect from Washington's Backfield in 2020
The running back position in fantasy football is historically shallow. You traditionally have your five no-brainer top running backs worthy of a first-round pick, and another 10 or so guys deserving of a top-45 pick thanks to their situation/talent/history. After that, you have a lot of gray area. That gray area is where fantasy football […]
Cleveland Browns 2020 Fantasy Outlook
Where to even begin with the Browns? After being hyped all 2019 offseason, they laid a stinker off the bat and got drubbed at the Dawg Pound by the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. That was only the start of a miserable year that featured newly acquired Odell Beckham Jr. not getting the ball enough, […]
