Mason Crosby Prepares For 15th NFL Season

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is set to take the field for his 15th straight season for the Packers in 2021. The 36-year-old went a perfect 16-for-16 on field-goal attempts last season and an impressive 59-for-63 on extra-point kicks. Crosby may not have the booming leg from his prime years, but he still converted […]

Mystery Continues To Surround Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers still has the football world, and Green Bay nation, guessing with training camp right around the corner. The All-Pro passer has dropped hints that he will, indeed, play for the Packers in 2021 but nothing is set in stone. What does begin to appear unlikely is Rodgers sitting out […]

A.J. Dillon To Have A Bigger Role In 2021?

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon, a second-rounder last year, finished the regular season with just 46 carries for 242 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while serving as the third back behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. He also missed five games with COVID-19 and played only 97 snaps (9.34 percent). […]

Tight End Values: PPR vs Standard Leagues

It feels impossible--even more with the current pandemic we're experiencing still ongoing worldwide--but the NFL offseason can be considered over in terms of high-impact moves. The first-year draft and free agency are long gone, most players have extended their deals or found new homes, and teams are ready to start moving the rock come the […]

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

The quarterback has become the most overlooked position in standard fantasy formats. Players have gotten smarter over the years by realizing just how deep the position is, and the days of QB runs happening in the first couple of rounds in the draft are long gone. Still, you're unlikely to be able to win a […]

Chase Upside, Not Safety to Win Fantasy Leagues

The spring of 2020 was a strange time in everyone's life. All of a sudden there were no sports, no leaving the house, and a whole lot of uncertainty for everyone. I promise I am not writing this to give you flashbacks. But, given this new and sudden free time, I dove deep into my […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Green Bay Packers Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff. […]

Late-Round Quarterbacks Who Will Outperform Their ADP

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

Will Robert Tonyan Repeat 2020 Success?

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will head into training camp hoping for a repeat performance from his 2020 season. Tonyan was dynamite in the red zone last season, scoring 11 times while setting career-highs with 52 receptions for 586 yards. Even more impressive was Tonyan's 52 catches came on only 59 targets (88.1% […]

Can Aaron Jones Remain An RB1?

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will head into training camp with a brand new contract, but is there another level to his game? Jones posted another strong season in 2020, averaging 5.5 yards per carry while racking up 1,104 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns. Jones posted at least 70 all-purpose yards in […]

Davante Adams' Value Tied To Aaron Rodgers' Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will head into training camp as perhaps the No. 1 receiver in all of fantasy football, with one obvious caveat... The Packers have certainly been in the headlines all offseason, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers' discontent with the franchise has led the way. Rodgers' trade demands have not been […]

Early 2021 PPR Rankings Analysis - Tight End

The tight end position has been top-heavy for many years and it's no different in 2021. Travis Kelce and Darren Waller have led their respective teams in targets the last two seasons, while George Kittle has averaged 8.1 targets per game the last three seasons. Meanwhile, Kyle Pitts out of Florida has already been dubbed […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Quarterback

In dynasty leagues, hitching your wagon to the right gunslinger is crucial. Unlike the turbulence at running back and unpredictability at wide receiver or tight end, quarterbacks can be consistent point-getters for years to come without the need for turnover. The biggest question is how to weigh youth versus experience. That's what we aim to […]

Devin Funchess Not A Lock For Final Roster

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Devin Funchess has the size (6-foot-4, 225 pounds), but he has played in just one regular season game in the last two seasons after he broke his collarbone in the 2019 season-opener with the Indianapolis Colts and opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19. Funchess also skipped organized […]

ADP Arbitrage - Quarterback Draft Bargains

Let's finish up this series with a look at the all-important quarterback position. When you're done, you should look back at running back, wide receiver, and tight end ADP comps as well.

Endgame Primer: Drafting For Playoff Strength Of Schedule

You cruise to the best record in your league, only to get bumped off by that rival who barely snuck into the playoffs. It’s one of the sheer joys of fantasy football -- for your opponent anyway. Now is the time to take steps to prevent such heartache, or better yet, position yourself to be […]

Amari Rodgers Is One To Watch In Green Bay

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver/return specialist Amari Rodgers could be the team's breakout player in his first year in the NFL. The third-round pick out of Clemson is a natural slot receiver, which is something the Packers have lacked, and is also a very skilled kick returner. The 5-foot-9, 212-pounder can also serve out […]

The Deepest Dive: WR Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

After looking at quarterbacks previously, we continue our look at deep-league draft targets with the wide receiver position. I define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take part. That means each draft round would consist of 16 picks and there would be 240 (15 rounds multiplied by 16 teams) players […]

Early 2021 Standard Rankings Analysis: Tight End

The hearty supply of potent and powerful players at the tight end position heading into the 2021 NFL season are probably making fantasy footballers’ mouths water more than a surf-and-turf combo of filet mignon and lobster tail. While only two tight ends broke the 1,000-yard barrier (Travis Kelce and Darren Waller) and two had double-digit […]

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Early ADP Variations: ESPN Overvalued & Undervalued

The surest path to the prizes in fantasy football this year is landing one of the five elite quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, or Dak Prescott. They’ll provide a sizable week-to-week scoring advantage, often with their legs as well as with their arms that warrant the draft cost and then some. […]

ADP Arbitrage - Running Back Draft Bargains

Did your parents ever ask you, "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?" Well, that is how fantasy football mostly works when it comes to drafting your team yearly. There is something called ADP (Average Draft Position) that is nothing more than just an aggregated mark that lets […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Wide Receivers

Wide receivers are the staple of any good dynasty team. Attrition keeps attacking the running back position more and more each year. Those in non-Superflex leagues can get by with one good quarterback. At wide receiver, you'll need at least three solid players to form the core of your squad for years to come. Below […]

Early Summer ADP Risers at Tight End

Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player on your team. A high ADP (that is actually a low-numbered ADP) means that a […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Kyle Pitts

The enthusiasm for NFL draft prospects surges to enormous levels on an annual basis, while reaching its pinnacle when the destinations for members of each rookie class have been determined.
