Tight End Sleepers and ADP Values
The tight end position is the most mercurial of them all in fantasy football. By now the perception around the tight end position in fantasy football is clear — it's Travis Kelce, Darren Waller, George Kittle, and then everyone else. The scoring gap between the top group of tight ends and the mid to lower […]

Wide Receiver Draft Targets - Slot Receivers
Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question the best way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of wide receivers, where how they are lining up on the field has a direct correlation with production. Slot receivers don't quite offer the boom-upside an outside receiver will deliver […]
Fool Me Once... Second-Year Tight Ends Set to Bust?
An NFL player entering his rookie year in the league generally has high expectations for himself. Unfortunately, those expectations may not be met for all players and some may fall flat in their first NFL campaign. A player entering his sophomore year will once again have high expectations and they may sometimes breakout, but other […]
Smooth Camp Thus Far For Aaron Rodgers
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back on the field and back to business as usual at Packers camp. After an offseason of drama and "will-he-won't-he", the reigning MVP is back to doing what he does best: lead a potent Packers offense. Early reports have confirmed that the 39-year-old has looked sharp early and […]
A.J. Dillon Gets First-Team Reps Monday
Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon took reps with the first-team offense on Monday with starter Aaron Jones (hamstring) sidelined. The injury to Jones appears to be minor but extra reps for Dillon is good news for the young tailback. With the departure of Jamaal Williams in the offseason, Dillon becomes the main handcuff […]
Aaron Jones (Hamstring) Held Out Of Practice
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) was held out of practice Monday. Jones was spotted on the field with the rehab group so early reports are that the injury is not very serious. Jones signed a big-time deal to stay with the Packers in the offseason and is the unquestioned lead tailback in […]
Jordan Love Struggles Over The Weekend
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love proved over the weekend that he still has plenty to work on with his offensive game. The team's backup showed a lack of timing and zip on his passes during a 'Family Night' scrimmage that was open to the public. Love still flashed the occasional ability to make a […]
Juwann Winfree Turning Heads At Packers Camp
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Juwann Winfree has been one of the offensive bright spots for the Packers thus far through training camp. He continues to make plays during drills and has showed nice separation to get open in a potent Green Bay offense. There is a current log-jam at receiver for the Packers at […]
Aaron Jones Sitting Out Practice With Hamstring Injury
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) is sitting out practice on Monday due to a hamstring injury. There's no word as to the nature or severity of the injury at this point. He should be considered questionable for the team's first preseason game against the Houston Texans this coming Saturday. The Packers' No. […]
Fantasy Outlooks in a Minute - NFC Teams
I have been looking at data from the 2020 season since the Super Bowl finished. I have been looking at projections for the 2021 season for the past few weeks. I have been writing fantasy football columns from different perspectives for the upcoming year for quite some time now. Do you know one thing I […]
Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions - 2021 Fantasy Football
After the chaos of last season, it's hard to categorize any prediction as outrageous or overly bold. The top two picks in fantasy drafts were complete wastes due to injury, UDFA James Robinson was better than Ezekiel Elliott, Jeff Wilson Jr. was a fantasy playoff MVP... and that's just at running back. Given the offseason […]
WR Stats You Need to Know Before Draft Day
In my first article of this series, I highlighted running back stats you need to know before Draft Day. Next up, wide receivers. Below are some tweets of mine that are filled with wide receiver stats you need to know prior to drafting your fantasy football teams in 2021. I'll explain what these stats mean […]
Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Reconsidering in 2021
When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season. No matter how experienced fantasy players are, those two numbers are thought of as the ultimate all-encompassing representations of every football player's value. Knowing what he […]

Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters in 2021
The Zero RB draft strategy has been one of the most discussed topics in the fantasy football community over the last few years. The theory behind the Zero RB draft strategy is that there is less volatility in elite wide receivers, quarterbacks and tight ends than there is at the running back position, which means […]
Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2021
Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limit the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense […]
Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairs to Target
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 up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]
Robert Tonyan "Unstoppable" In Practice
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan's connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in practice on Tuesday was described as "unstoppable" by those in attendance. Tonyan enjoyed a breakout campaign last season, catching 52 passes for 586 yards while tying for league lead among tight ends in touchdowns with 11. It may only be a week […]
Randall Cobb Making Plays In Camp
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is back with his old team and already is making plays in camp. The veteran receiver has made plays over the middle consistently during practice and was seen wide open down the field but failed to connect with backup quarterback Jordan Love. Cobb's numbers dipped in almost every […]
Dynasty Rankings Analysis - Tight End
There are plenty of talented tight ends in the NFL these days, and many of them are 27 or younger and perfect to have on a dynasty fantasy football roster for the next several seasons. Fantasy football general managers do not generally build their dynasty teams around their tight ends. That does not mean that […]
Jordan Love Hits And Misses In Camp
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love enjoyed some ups and downs in 11-on-11 drills during Monday's training camp practice. On one play, Love under-threw receiver Malik Taylor on a deep route that could have led to a touchdown. But later in the sequence, the backup passer rolled out of the pocket and delivered a perfect […]
RB Committees Not to Avoid in 2021
Nobody likes a running back committee. Until you have to do so just out of pure logic. If we're offered the chance of drafting a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019, we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends up being. Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]
Fool Me Once... Second-Year Running Backs Who'll Bust Again
Out of pretty much every NFL position, running back is the one where immediate success should be the most expected. It's a position with the shortest shelf life, so players need to prove themselves quickly. So when a player's rookie year doesn't go well, that's a bad sign. And while some players will have a […]

A.J. Dillon Looking More Comfortable In Year Two
Green Bay Packers second-year running back A.J. Dillon appears to be more comfortable in year two according to his backfield mate Aaron Jones. Jones also mentioned that Dillon "worked a lot on his hands during the off-season." Dillon's skillset will always be that of a power back at 6-foot 247 pounds, but improving as a […]
Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback
Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Aaron […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, DET) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~118 ANALYSIS: Williams is no stranger to being split out as a receiver from his time in Green Bay and we already know Detroit views him as an “A” running back thanks to new offensive coordinator, Anthony Lynn (per The Athletic). So you’ve got someone with the […]
