WR Stat Sleepers - Slot Performance

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 […]

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? Completion percentage does little to tell us about a quarterback's overall ability in that department because it can easily be skewed by […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Stands Out in Preseason Game

There were not too many notable performances in the Green Bay Packers first preseason game when they played the Tennessee Titans. However, rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling made a strong case for himself. He caught five passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. This includes a 51 yarder in the third quarter. Valdes-Scantling was the […]

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. The first-string quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, sat out the game as he has done in the past. It was presumed that Kizer, who started as a rookie last year […]

Sam Bradford - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

There’s this Discover commercial where a lady calls their customer service department to inquire about these new social security alerts and ends up speaking to herself. The gist is that you’ll receive as good of service from their customer service representatives as you’d give to yourself. Not a bad marketing campaign, in theory, until you […]

Road to #1 Running Back - NFC North

Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters. With guaranteed touches each game, these consensus top-tier running backs are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, with breakout players appearing […]

Jimmy Graham Doubtful To Play In Preseason Opener

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) is dealing with a minor knee injury and was held out of practice on Wednesday as a precaution.

Aaron Rodgers Frustrated With Young Receivers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers grew frustrated with his young receivers and their effort level while running the scout team on Tuesday.

Aaron Jones' Absence Continues in Training Camp

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) still shows no signs of participating in practice.

Jones is suspended for the first two weeks of the regular season for a […]

Stack 'Em - Teams with Favorable Schedules for Top Players

Using last year’s results alone to predict this season’s outcomes is borderline foolish. Luckily, when it comes to the task of projecting the upcoming NFL season there are a few other factors which can increase our odds of success. I mean sure, you could draft based on talent and opportunity alone, but the number of […]

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. Green Bay traded former first round pick, cornerback Damarius Randall, to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the unpolished passer. It was seen as a move to shore up the quarterback spot after many […]

Mason Crosby Comfortable in Camp as He Aims for Bounce-Back Year

Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby had his first perfect day in training camp on Monday, going 8-for-8 on the day. Crosby does not have any competition for the starting kicker spot for the Packers. Although Crosby has performed efficiently over the past few seasons, he hasn’t been a top-10 fantasy kicker since 2014. With quarterback […]

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 […]

No Question Marks Surrounding Davante Adams

There are a lot of unknowns that linger throughout Green Bay’s training camp, but wide receiver Davante Adams is not one of them. It is not yet clear who will be starting in Jordy Nelson spot out wide, whether it be Geronimo Allison, a rookie, or someone else. However, the person who will be on […]

Randall Cobb Returns to Practice

Green Bay wide receiver Randall Cobb (ankle) was in pads for Monday’s practice. He sat out Saturday’s annual Family Night practice with an injured ankle.

Boom or Bust that ADP

Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]

Le'Veon Bell - Deal Him or Deal With Him?

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison.
