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 […]

Datone Jones Cut From Jaguars Defense
With NFL teams making cuts before the regular season, one surprising move has been the Jaguars moving on from defensive tackle Datone Jones. Jones was expected to be a key reserve for the team and had even blocked a kick in Thursday's preseason finale, but the team decided to go a different way defensively. It'll […]
Jaguars Release Thomas Rawls
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released Thomas Rawls, who was expected to enter the year as the team's fourth back. While this could mean that someone else on the Jaguars' current roster makes the team, it might be better to assume this is the first part of a move for Jacksonville to sign a third-down back […]
Thomas Rawls Released By Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Thomas Rawls was released Friday. Running back Alfred Blue becomes Leonard Fournette's backup in a rather thin backfield. This move says a lot about the team's faith in Fournette's health, which has been shaky in recent memory. Fournette is a low-end RB1. Blue is worth handcuffing to Fournette, but he has […]
Terrelle Pryor Released
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. Limited to just one preseason game because of a hamstring injury, Pryor's upside as a big target in the red zone wasn't able to outweigh the negatives. This should open a spot for Tre McBride to make the final roster, as Marqise Lee's slow recovery from […]
Tre McBride Leads Jaguars In Receiving Yards
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tre McBride is right there on the roster bubble, but he tried to assert himself and claim that final receiver spot in Thursday's preseason loss to the Falcons. McBride had three catches for a team-high 37 yards. He was targeted seven times. Will he wind up as the sixth receiver in […]
Ryquell Armstead Efficient Against Falcons
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead ran the ball six times for 40 yards while also adding a 10-yard reception in Thursday's preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Armstead is expected to start the year as the number-three back in Jacksonville behind Leonard Fournette and Alfred Blue, but Blue is dealing with an ankle […]
Gardner Minshew Finishes Preseason Without Touchdown
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew did enough this preseason to claim the team's backup job, but after going 11-for-26 for just 79 yards in the preseason finale against the Falcons, Minshew officially ends the preseason without a touchdown pass. Sure, it was the preseason, but it's still not an encouraging sign for a team to […]
2019 Fantasy Football Projections: Wide Receivers (Part One)
We continue onwards with our rankings and projections for the 2019 season. If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out not only my QB rankings but also both parts of my RB projections (1 & 2). Wide receivers are typically the easiest position to project each season. Once we figure out a […]
C.J. Board Could Still Make Jaguars Roster
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a battle on their hands for the sixth wide receiver spot -- if they choose to keep six -- between Terrelle Pryor and Tre McBride, but Jacksonville.com's John Reid suggests we should keep an eye on C.J. Board in the preseason finale. Board has had nine receptions for 110 yards over […]
Jaguars Have Wealth Of Pass-Rushing Options
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said he's comfortable changing up his defensive scheme to ensure that Yannick Ngakoue and first-rounder Josh Allen are on the field more together in 2019. Jacksonville also has Calais Campbell in the fold on their stacked defensive line. Wash moved to more of a 3-4 defense in last week's […]
Justin Carter's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
It's bold prediction SZN and I am ready! This is the space for going out on a limb and making predictions that you're only maybe 10 percent sure will happen, but 100 percent sure that you want to happen. This is where, last year, I confidently proclaimed Patrick Mahomes a top-five fantasy quarterback before, umm, […]
How to Avoid the "My Guys" Trap
Have you ever sat alone in a dark room and addressed your perception versus reality problem? The problem I’m referring to, naturally, is your love for certain fantasy players and lack of recognition for others. Have you mock drafted and paid attention to the guys with higher ranks that you just gloss over until your […]
Why Zero-RB Still Won't Work in 2019
Zero-RB is a popular strategy that is touted online by several fantasy analysts. The gist of it is basically avoiding the running back position completely throughout the first few rounds of the draft, or taking a first-round workhorse, and then targeting wide receivers and maybe a premium tight end early on. The strategy, if properly […]
Shaking the “Sleeper” Myth and Using Your Late Picks Wisely
I’m an 80s baby, so, like most of my generation, The Princess Bride played a major role in my early pop-culture consciousness. While most people remember the hulking physique of Andre The Giant or the crowd-pleasing chant of Inigo Montoya (“Hello…”), one part that stuck with me was Inigo’s calm criticism of his boss’ use […]
D.J. Chark Returning To Practice Tuesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (concussion) will return to practice on Tuesday. He's still in the concussion protocol, but he's making progress toward a Week 1 return. It would be a surprise if Chark doesn't get the clearance between now and the regular season opener. The 22-year-old is looking to make strides in his […]
Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]
Stop that Hype Train! Keelan Cole
The Jacksonville Jaguars have moved on from the Blake Bortles experiment and are ready to enter into the Nick Foles era. This team has been littered with high potential wide receivers for a number of seasons, yet we have not seen any of these receivers perform at a high level for consecutive seasons. Could this […]
Running Back Standard Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
Running backs don’t matter. This may or may not be true in the real NFL but in fantasy, it surely isn’t the case. If it were the case, why are the top four consensus players all at the position? It is always great to have one of the top guys at the position. But if […]
Geoff Swaim Returns To Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Geoff Swaim (foot) is returning to practice on Monday in a limited capacity. It's a positive sign that he'll be ready for Week 1 against the Chiefs. Swaim comes to Jacksonville after four seasons with Dallas in which he had 35 receptions for 336 yards and only one touchdown in 37 […]

Must Own Running Backs With Mid-Round ADPs
So, you grabbed a couple of good running backs early on, but you don't have a ton of depth there? If you wait too long, you're going to have to do your research to know who you should be drafting. Thankfully for you, I'm here to do that research. Guys like Marlon Mack were league-winners […]

Navigating Late-Round Tight Ends
When should I draft a tight end? This is one of the questions in fantasy football that gets the biggest split of answers. There is the clear cut tier of Travis Kelce (who you could argue is in a tier of his own), Zach Ertz and George Kittle, but their ADPs are high. With all […]
Tight End PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
Tight ends are tricky in fantasy football. Due to the top-heavy nature of the position, it is typically best to either land one of the top few or to wait until the end of the draft to find one. An elite TE like Rob Gronkowski in years past can elevate your roster with his performances […]
Nick Mariano's 2019 Late-Round Fliers (Premium Content)
All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.

Lamar Miller's Injury: What It Means for Duke Johnson And The Texans Other RBs
In one of the wildest days in NFL preseason history, one story completely overshadowed the rest of the news around the league and it wasn't even related to anything happening on a football field. Andrew Luck retired from football at 29 years of age, just on the verge of starting his seventh (he missed all […]
