Best-Ball Tight Ends: Finding Sleepers with "12" Personnel
You have to draft at least two players at each position -- yes, even defense and (blech) kicker -- to cover your best-ball roster because you can't make in-season moves. I'm not one to draft two tight ends in most typical leagues, but I will in TE-bonus setups like FFPC contests, the Scott Fish Bowl, and […]
Patrick Mahomes, Receivers Holding Workouts
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other players on the offensive end, including tight end Travis Kelce, have been holding workouts despite the unavailability of team facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chiefs Ranked As No. 5 Trench Team
The Kansas City Chiefs come in at No. 5 on the list of the best trench teams in the league, per NFL.com's Bucky Brooks.

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is an underrated blocker with a tenacious demeanor […]
Travis Kelce And Team Conducting Workouts
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, among others, despite team facilities being unavailable due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even without the extra work, the veteran was still positioned to be one of the first tight ends off fantasy boards for the 2020 campaign. Kelce finished 2019 with […]

Why Joe Burrow Will Be a Top-10 Fantasy Quarterback
The prevailing strategy that has taken over fantasy football is to wait on quarterback.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Projected To Be Best Rookie RB
NFL Network's Cynthia Frelund projects Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, the 32nd overall pick in the draft, to be the most productive rookie running back in 2020.

Tyrann Mathieu Underrated As A Run-Defender
Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu played 98 percent of the defensive snaps (1,205 of 1,230) last year, including the playoffs, according to Next Gen Stats.

Tyrann Mathieu Crucial To Chiefs Success
Kansas City Chiefs free safety Tyrann Mathieu's average separation yards of 3.4 leaves something to be desired in coverage, and so does his catch rate allowed below expectation (minus-7.5), but he was crucial in the Chiefs Super Bowl run from a year ago. He had a passer rating allowed of 57.6, but his ballhawk rate […]

Las Vegas Raiders 2020 Fantasy Outlook
Ah, Jon Gruden’s team will no longer be known as the Oakland Raiders, but the Las Vegas Raiders. That may take a while to get used to or even say, as I have still heard Oakland being mentioned. No better way to debut in a new NFL city than a Monday nighter against Drew Brees, […]

Patrick Mahomes Has The Weapons To Beat Defenses Deep
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' expected completion rate on deep passes is higher than most QBs in the league because of his speedy weapons, namely receiver Tyreek Hill, whose 18 touchdowns on deep targets since 2016 is second-most in the NFL behind Antonio Brown.

Patrick Mahomes, Offense Holding Informal Workouts
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other members of the team's offense have been conducting informal workouts.

Tyreek Hill Focusing On Offseason Workouts
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been focusing on his conditioning this offseason, with the 26-year-old incorporating yoga into his workouts twice a week.
