How Every Rookie RB Impacts Their Backfield in 2022 Fantasy Football (Round 5-7 Picks & UDFAs)
Each year, we see a handful of incoming rookie RBs finish as an RB2 or better in fantasy football. While the best rookies are typically those who are drafted on Day 2 or earlier (Najee Harris, Jonathan Taylor), there are also some recent examples of Day 3 picks and UDFA RBs who had great rookie […]
Wide Receiver Fallers for Fantasy Football ADPs - Michael Thomas, Kenny Golladay, Robert Woods
I am going to start this column by introducing the idea of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you know what it is about. Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average 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 […]
Year-Two Wide Receivers Ready to Break Out - Rashod Bateman, Rondale Moore, Nico Collins, Terrace Marshall
Last year's rookie class featured some good wide receivers. Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle made quick impacts in the NFL, while guys like Elijah Moore and Amon-Ra St. Brown played well for their teams. Not every rookie wide receiver was instantly impactful. For some of those guys, it was a sign that they were heading […]
Wide Receiver Deeper Draft Sleepers - Zay Jones, Josh Palmer, Tim Patrick
In fantasy football, there are "sleepers," or players we expect to outproduce their average draft position (ADP), and then there are "deep sleepers." These deep sleepers aren't on many people's radar. They may be coming off of a down season or they may find themselves in a much different situation from a season ago. Either […]
FFPC Best-Ball Tournament Playoff Strategy and Stacks - Drafting to Win It All
This is one of the best times to draft for best-ball leagues, especially big tournaments like the FFPC Best Ball Tournament with a $200k prize! Rookies are being overhyped and are still overvalued. A consensus ADP has just started to form into something that will change drastically in a few weeks once training camp and […]
The Deepest Dive - Wide Receiver Sleepers in 16+ Team Fantasy Football Leagues
Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. 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 […]
ADP Fallers at Quarterback - Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett, Drew Lock
I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you know what it is about.

Why You Should Buy Back in to Kyle Pitts in 2022
Perception is reality. You likely have heard that saying before and while it is often true – there is certainly one area where it is not: in fantasy football. For example, there is a perception by some that Kyle Pitts was a bust last season and that could not be further from reality. When Pitts […]

Superflex Quarterback Deep Draft Sleepers - Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, Marcus Mariota
In fantasy football, there are "sleepers," or players we expect to outproduce their average draft position (ADP), and then there are "deep sleepers." These deep sleepers aren't on many people's radar. They may be coming off of a down season, or they may find themselves in a much different situation from a season ago. Either […]
Doug Pederson Impressed With Travis Etienne Jr.
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson has been impressed with running back Travis Etienne Jr. so far this offseason.

Overvalued Backup Running Backs - Rhamondre Stevenson, Alexander Mattison, Travis Etienne
Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]
C.J. Beathard To Avoid Surgery
Jacksonville Jaguars backup quarterback C.J. Beathard (groin), who was carted off the field during organized team activities on Monday with a groin injury, is not expected to require surgery. Beathard's MRI exam apparently didn't reveal an overly serious injury, but it remains to be seen when he'll be able to rejoin the team for offseason […]
C.J. Beathard Carted Off With Groin Injury
Jacksonville Jaguars backup quarterback C.J. Beathard (groin) was carted off the field on Monday during the team's organized team activities with what sources are calling a groin injury. Beathard is slated to serve as the backup to second-year QB Trevor Lawrence this year. We'll have a better idea of the extent of Beathard's injury after […]
Players With Misleading Numbers Not Worth Drafting in 2022
When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season. No matter how experienced fantasy players are, those two numbers are thought of as the ultimate all-encompassing representations of every football player's value. Knowing what he […]
How Every Rookie RB Impacts Their Backfield in 2022 Fantasy Football (Round 4 Picks)
Each year we see a handful of incoming rookie RBs finish as a RB2 or better in fantasy football. While the best rookies are typically those who are drafted on Day 2 or earlier (Najee Harris, Jonathan Taylor), there are also some recent examples of Day 3 picks and UDFA RBs who had great rookie […]
James Robinson Resumes Running
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is back on the field and doing some running. Robinson is being held out of organized team activities, and it remains to be seen how much he'll actually do at training camp in late July.

Buy Back into Trevor Lawrence After Disastrous Rookie Season
Have you ever had an awful boss? I am not talking about a boss that is a little annoying, I am talking about one that you dread seeing and that seemingly makes life harder for you and all your coworkers. I am talking about a boss that makes you react the way Stanley reacts to […]
Competitive Receiving Corps to Fade in 2022 Fantasy Drafts
We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring […]
Travis Etienne Jr. Looking Like His Old Self
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (foot), who missed all of his rookie season due to a Lisfranc injury in the preseason, has been cleared for full practice repetitions at organized team activities and has looked like his old self from an explosiveness standpoint. His ability to make quick cuts and breaks stood out […]
Trevor Lawrence Showing Improvement
Jacksonville Jaguars second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence has shown improvement at organized team activities compared to where he was at last year heading into his rookie season. Lawrence showed his elite arm strength in his rookie season, but he now looks more decisive and sure of himself when it comes to delivering the ball, especially in […]
2022 Target Bounceback Candidates - Tight End
In the NFL and fantasy football, things can change as easily as the snap of a finger from campaign to campaign. One season, somebody breaks a record, and the next they are fighting for targets and struggling to produce. Based on game script, chemistry, and availability of weapons, targets can fluctuate for pass-catchers. In a […]
Travis Etienne Jr. Wants To Be Deebo-Like Weapon
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, who missed all of his rookie season with a Lisfranc injury, pretty much only caught passes in the team's two-hour practice at organized team activities on Tuesday. "Football is all about matchups so I mean if I could be like Deebo Samuel, I would love that. Honestly, the game […]
Laviska Shenault Jr. Could Work As Returner
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could help the team as a returner, according to head coach Doug Pederson. They've added Christian Kirk and Zay Jones, so Shenault could see less action as a wideout this upcoming season. That being said, Shenault is a candidate to see increased time as a returner in Jacksonville. […]
Jamal Agnew Might Not Be Ready
The Jacksonville Jaguars are unsure if wide receiver Jamal Agnew (hip) will be ready in time before the start of the regular season. It was reported earlier this offseason that Agnew felt that he was ahead of schedule in his recovery from a season-ending hip injury last year, so he might have suffered a setback […]
Projecting the 2022 QB Class in Dynasty
Truly, no position in any sport trumps the value of the quarterback position in football. After all, there is a reason that the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is reserved for quarterbacks; a team, historically, can only go as far as the play of their quarterback allows. Thus, in every NFL Draft, the focus centers around […]
Trevor Lawrence Enjoying Christian Kirk
Jacksonville Jaguars second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been happy with new wide receiver Christian Kirk so far this offseason. "He's great. Just from a football IQ sense, I think he's really quarterback friendly," Lawrence said. The Jaguars signed Kirk to a four-year, $72 million deal with $37 million guaranteed in March, and he'll be asked […]
Late-Round NFL Rookie Draft Picks to Target: Fantasy Football Dynasty Discounts
As soon as the NFL Draft winds down, dynasty leagues kick into action. Many rookie drafts have already begun and some, including FFPC leagues, have already wrapped up.

Trey McBride NFL Rookie Profile - Fantasy Football Tight End Outlook
The Arizona Cardinals used their 55th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft on Trey McBride, tight end out of Colorado State.
