Tight end is always a difficult position to draft. The elite players go early but you have to be willing to sacrifice other positions to lock them down.

Offenses To Trust and Which Will Bust for 2018 Fantasy Football
It perhaps goes without saying that fantasy owners should look to draft players on high-powered offenses, as they usually offer a bevy of startable assets and have a higher chance for scoring opportunities than most teams. Although stud players can often rise above their circumstances, projecting which teams will prosper on the offensive side of […]
Why Zero RB Won't Work in 2018
Take yourself back to the 2015 draft season. We had just come off the year of the receiver, highlighted by breakout rookie seasons from Odell Beckham Jr. and Mike Evans, and career years from Emmanuel Sanders and Golden Tate. In 2014, 23 players had 1,000 or more receiving yards and 10 had more than 1,300. […]
Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage
There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, what does this really mean?

Brett Hundley Gets Nod Over DeShone Kizer
In the first preseason game for the Green Bay Packers, it was the incumbent quarterback Brett Hundley who got the start over the recently acquired Deshone Kizer.

Road to #1 Running Back - NFC North
Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters.

Stack 'Em - Teams with Favorable Schedules for Top Players
Using last year’s results alone to predict this season’s outcomes is borderline foolish.

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year
The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill. There's a major gap between the top talent at the position and everyone else in a way that there isn't for running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, so it can be tempting to grab someone in the Rob Gronkowski/ Travis Kelce/ […]
DeShone Kizer Faces Competition for Backup Role
Almost two weeks into training camp and Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer is still fighting to win the second-string role.

Geronimo Allison Maintains Starting Role
Through almost two weeks of Training Camp, Green Bay wide receiver Geronimo Allison is still in position to see a large amount of snaps in 2018. Allison is technically third on the depth chart, but Green Bay uses three wide receiver sets as much as anybody in the NFL and treats it as their base […]
Ty Montgomery Practices Returning Kickoffs
Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery took some reps returning kickoffs in Monday’s practice. Green Bay’s incumbent return man, wide receiver Trevor Davis (hamstring) missed practice. Rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling also took some reps. Montgomery is almost certainly not going to be Green Bay’s return man in 2018. There are more effective options on […]
