Jamaal Williams The Clear Backup For Packers

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams is the clear backup for the team. There had been talk around the team operating a committee backfield.

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams.

Five Top Running Backs I'm Fading Ever So Slightly

Everyone's going to draft the top guys. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara - and those guys are going to be owned across the board. They rightfully belong in the first round and are being drafted highly. But who are some guys that are being overvalued a bit […]

Running Back Efficiency Leaders - Phillip Lindsay, Kerryon Johnson & More

The NFL Next Gen Efficiency stat (EFF) is a measure of how efficient a rusher is with the total amount of running he does on each play. It takes the total distance traveled by a player throughout a run and divides it by the amount of rushing yards gained. The lower the number, the more […]

What is even better is that new sign-ups to the website earn $25 […]

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Ah, the tight end position. Other than the kicker and defenses, the least useful position in fantasy football. But alas, it is a necessary position so we need to look at it. Of course, here we will be talking about typical single-TE leagues with no scoring premium. So, you really have to decide whether or […]

Jace Sternberger Placed On Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers placed rookie tight end Jace Sternberger (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Sternberger will miss at least half of the season and is currently in a walking boot. He's merely a stash in deeper dynasty formats in 2019. The veteran Jimmy Graham will remain Green Bay's top […]

Jimmy Graham Puts In Full Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (finger) was upgraded to a full practice on Tuesday. Graham should be fine to start in the regular season opener against the Bears on Thursday night. The long-time Saint could easily bounce back in the touchdown department in this new offense, but fantasy owners are better off deploying […]

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.

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.

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.
