Why Zero RB Will Work In 2019

James Conner, Phillip Lindsay, Damien Williams, Gus Edwards, Austin Ekeler. In the final month of the 2018 fantasy season, these five running backs were regularly ranking amongst the top-20 at the position, often as high as top-10 or top-five. One thing they all had in common: None of them even sniffed the top 100 preseason rankings […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Running back is the most volatile position in fantasy football. It's possible to put together a winning team while going "zero RB" (not picking a running back in the early rounds), proving how much change there can be in many running backs' value over the course of a year. I don't recommend doing this, for […]

Passing on Passers - A Case For Drafting Your QB1 Late

We all know that Patrick Mahomes, in his second season as an NFL player and his first as a full-time starter, broke a record set in 2013 by the very own Peyton Manning. In 2018, Mahomes finished the season with 417.1 fantasy points, edging Manning's 412 by 5.1 in the final tally. That is impressive […]

Best Ball Tight End Rankings and Tiers

There is less than a week remaining to join a best-ball draft before the NFL season kicks off. If you're doing a last-minute draft, you obviously want to check our updated rankings and tiers first before taking the plunge. The tight end position is more intriguing than ever. Aside from the obvious top three players, […]

Best Late-Round Tight End Picks If You're Punting the Position

Perhaps more than any other time in recent history, punting the tight end position in the draft seems like an optimal strategy. While it's never good to lock yourself into a strategy before your draft even starts, the obscene amount of buried treasure waiting to be scooped up in the later rounds makes the idea […]

2019 Fantasy Football Projections: Wide Receivers (Part Two)

I've already projected this year's quarterbacks, running backs, and first four tiers of WRs. Now, it's time to continue by looking at the rest of the most fantasy-relevant wide receivers on draft day. Listed below are my rankings and projections for the 2019 season, which will hopefully help you find some clarification if you are having […]

The Perfect Pair - Finding a QB1 Duo

Whether you subscribe to the best quarterback philosophy or the late-round quarterback philosophy, we are having the same goal in mind. We want the players most likely to get us the win, on a week-to-week basis as well as the season-long championship. The likes of Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers will help you for sure. But at […]

Best Ball Quarterback Rankings and Tiers

Best-ball drafts are winding down as the NFL season approaches. On the cusp of the biggest draft weekend of the year, we continue with our recently updated rankings and tiers by position. Quarterback is a different beast altogether in best-ball compared to typical redraft leagues. In many 10 or 12-team redraft leagues, you can get […]

Week 1 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season is finally here. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are kicking off the NFL's 100th season on Thursday night football. After the long wait, we're here today to talk about fantasy football's most important position. That's right. We're talking about kickers. All jokes aside, the importance of […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Set To Miss Start Of The Season

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown is set to miss at least the first month of the season through injury. The receiver left the team's third preseason encounter against the Oakland Raiders with a nasty looking injury. The injury has now been diagnosed as a high-ankle sprain, but could have been far worse. […]

Jimmy Graham Faces Tough Matchup Against Chicago Bears In Opener

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham faces a tough opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. Graham was wholly ineffective last season, posting low numbers on his past few seasons. Part of that was the offense as a whole being ineffective last season, part was due to the injuries he played through. Either way, Graham […]

Jamaal Williams Set To Be Handcuff For Packers

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams looks set to be the handcuff running back for the team this season. Williams has missed time throughout the preseason, due to injury but looks to be ready for the regular season. Williams started last season as the lead back, partly in part to Aaron Jones being suspended. […]

2019 Kicker Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

The NFL's preseason has come to an end. By Saturday afternoon, all NFL rosters need to be cut down to 53 players. Over 1,000 players will be cut by 4:00 p.m. Fortunately for most of the players that we're looking at today, they have their spots locked up. It's time to look at everyone's favorite […]

Late-Round WRs to Target in Fantasy Drafts

I’ve been vocal about the fact that there is a lot of value to be found at WR late in fantasy drafts this year. I wrote an article already about my favorite late-round picks in general, but it’s time to take a look at some of my favorite wide receivers across various ADP ranges in […]

Wide Receiver Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring

The first pick in fantasy drafts is always the elite running back. Whether it be in PPR leagues or standard, this is the case and for good reason. It is important to have an elite running back when they are available. But this doesn’t mean you should forget about the wide receiver position. Sure, it […]

Denver Receivers Are Draft Steals with Joe Flacco at the Helm

Every year, there's at least one offense in fantasy football that drafters avoid like the plague. Last year it was the much-maligned Jets, with rookie QB Sam Darnold. According to current ADP this year's quarantined fantasy offense appears to be the Broncos. Most egregiously ignored in fantasy drafts is Denver's wide receiving corps, which has […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Flex Option For Opening Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a flex option for the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. Valdes-Scantling has impressed throughout the preseason process with his athletic ability, which could cause the secondary of the Bears problems in the matchup. The Packers offense ability is yet to be seen truly, with a number […]

Geronimo Allison Has Flex Consideration In Week 1 Matchup

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is a flex option for fantasy owners in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. Allison is likely the slot receiver for the Packers this season, which gives him a solid floor in PPR leagues. The Bears defensive units gave up on average 23.3 points to the position […]

Davante Adams Must Start In Matchup Against Chicago

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is a must-start for fantasy owners this week. The Packers have a tough matchup against the Chicago Bears, a top defensive unit in the league. However, the Bears have shown themselves to be beaten in the air, being around the middle of the league, giving up 23.3 points […]

Aaron Jones Has Tough Matchup In Opener

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has a tough matchup in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. Jones is likely the lead running back for the Packers, after previously splitting carries with Jamaal Williams. Jones was an effective last season once he was given more of the carries, and ended the season with […]

Aaron Rodgers Starts With Tricky Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers starts his new campaign on the road against the Chicago Bears. The Packers offense is full of weapons, like elite receiver Davante Adams, but the Bears offense is one of the better units in the league. The Bears gave up around 13 points on average to the position and […]

Around the League Pop Quiz: NFC South

I've been a little jaded writing some of these articles, not for any reason other than wondering if the creeping feeling of "everyone is listening to/writing all of the same advice" was starting to creep in a little heavier. I had many of the same sleepers/avoids as Matthew Berry, I've been tending to agree with […]

Packers Defense Could Be Streaming Option This Season

The Green Bay Packers Defense could be an effective streaming option for fantasy owners this season. The Packers have not hugely impressed in the preseason, but they have missed a number of key players through injury. The team added a number of pass rush options in the offseason, through free agency and the draft. However, […]

Dexter Williams Leads Backfield Against Chiefs

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams led the team in carries in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Williams finished the game with 34 yards and one touchdown, from nine carries. Williams was also able to haul in his two targets for another 30 yards in the air. Williams has limited […]

Tim Boyle Limited In Final Preseason Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Tim Boyle was limited in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Boyle ended the game, completing three of six attempts for 18 yards and a touchdown. Boyle has been impressive in the preseason but faces a battle with Deshone Kizer for the role behind Aaron Rodgers. Even if […]

DeShone Kizer Leads Team In Final Preseason Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer led the team in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kizer finished the game completing eight of his 15 attempts for 77 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Kizer also added another 13 yards on the ground with one rush attempt. Kizer at this stage seems […]

Randall Cobb (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~240 We're a little bit separated from Randall Cobb's best season, which came in 2014. Back then he was able to catch 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns and finished the year as the WR6 in PPR leagues rivaling the likes of Odell Beckham and Julio […]
