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 […]

Why You Shouldn't Buy Stefon Diggs..... Yet

You already know where I am going with this article so we need to get something out of the way right now. Just because I am down on a player doesn’t mean I don’t like him. That holds true for Stefon Diggs. I think Diggs is immensely talented and has all the potential to become […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]

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. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]

Dynasty RB Rankings Analysis (June)

As we draw ever-closer to NFL training camps, dynasty owners are gearing up for drafts already. Many rookie drafts have already begun, but the best is the dynasty startup where you get to create a new franchise from scratch. Dynasty is a different beast than redraft, so you need to know how to value each […]

Running Back Handcuffs Worth Drafting as Standalone Players

I've never been a handcuff enthusiast. I don't think it's an effective strategy. If I draft Kareem Hunt this year, I don't want Spencer Ware. He would just sit on my bench and have no chance at being a useful asset...unless Hunt goes down. I don't want Hunt to go down and I certainly would […]

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? What does wearing pleated pants in today's age say about you? Nope. You’ll have to ask el Camello or Raphstradamus about the pants.  But I am here to […]

If at First You Don't Succeed... Second-Year NFL Breakouts

Do you remember your first year playing fantasy football? I can't talk about myself because I was 14 at the time and everyone in my league was essentially playing for the first time. But over the years, as I got older, I saw plenty of friends introduced to the world of fantasy sports. Many of […]

2018 Standard Rankings Analysis (June) - Tight Ends

It is a great time for tight ends in the NFL and in fantasy football!

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 […]

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 […]

Is there a WR1 hidden in Golden Tate's stats?

What else does Golden Tate need to do for his name to start popping up in WR1 discussions for PPR leagues? One of the most underrated assets in PPR leagues, Tate continues to be the gold standard of consistency and yet, his name is not one that typically enters the conversation of those top-tier wide […]

Jake Rudock, Matt Cassel to Compete for Backup QB Job

The Detroit Lions appear to be giving equal time to quarterbacks Jake Rudock and Matt Cassel in practice so far. Those two will compete to back up Matthew Stafford next season. Neither will hold much, if any, fantasy relevance, barring an injury to Stafford himself.

Nick Bawden Tears ACL, Out For 2018 Season

Detroit Lions rookie fullback Nick Bawden (knee) suffered a torn ACL in practice on Wednesday. It looks like he will miss the entire season. Bawden was competing to play fullback for the Lions and was expected to be a contributor on special teams. The seventh-round pick will have to wait until 2019 to make his NFL […]

Kenny Golladay Looks Sharp in Minicamp

Detroit Lions receiver Kenny Golladay looked sharp in his first day at minicamp. Golladay had an outstanding debut last year, but lost most of the rest of the season to an injury. He still hauled in three touchdowns and averaged 17 yards per catch. He'll compete for the No. 3 receiver spot with T.J. Jones, […]

Kerryon Johnson To Be Used on the Outside

The Detroit Lions believe that rookie running back Kerryon Johnson could someday become a three-down back. However, they don't want to demand that from him in Year 1. LeGarrette Blount will likely help shoulder some of that load, with general manager Bob Quin indicating that Johnson will be used more on the outside, at least […]
