Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts

The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter.

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football

You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions

There are only two reasons I can assume for that: his drop rate from […]
