Tyreek Hill Agrees To Three-Year Extension
The Kansas City Chiefs and wide receiver Tyreek Hill agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract extension on Friday that puts him among the highest paid at the receiver position, according to sources.

LeSean McCoy Has RB2 Value in Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy could very well end up in a timeshare role with back Damien Williams. McCoy was added to the roster on Saturday and having Andy Reid back as his head coach is a good sign. The Chiefs wouldn't add McCoy unless they plan to get him involved in the […]
Damien Williams Could Lose Value
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams could see himself losing value quickly with the addition of LeSean McCoy. Williams is named as the starter for Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, there could very well be a timeshare between Williams and McCoy. Head coach Andy Reid is familiar with McCoy and […]
Patrick Mahomes An Excellent Option Versus Jags
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the best fantasy quarterback last season, but can he do it again? He'll have an interesting matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Around the League Pop Quiz: NFC West
I always enjoy saving the NFC West for last because, in a lot of ways, it's always felt the closest to home for me. I grew up in Orange County, California, born right before the Raiders and the Rams made their way west. Even though my city was an hour south of Los Angeles, the […]

Mark Andrews - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We all know that finding a reliable tight end in fantasy football can be a nightmare. There are guys at the top like Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle, but after these top-tier tight ends, the position begins to become more of a crap-shoot. The debate then turns to what type of draft pick […]
Fantasy Meets Reality: Big League Impact Drafting
In late August at Citi Field, for the fifth time I witnessed a scene that demonstrated the unique power of fantasy sports to affect so many lives in positive ways. Through Big League Impact, the charitable organization founded by Adam Wainright in 2013, a room full of New York Mets fan drafted in fantasy football […]

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring
Ah, the tight end position. Other than the kicker and defenses, the least useful position in fantasy football. But alas, it is a necessary position so we need to look at it.

Boom or Bust - Three Tight End Predictions
The tight end position has become quite the quagmire in fantasy football over the past several years. It is often a position of haves and have-nots where the top-tier tight ends perform admirably, yet the middle to low-end players at the position are often inconsistent at best. Trying to project who will perform each week […]
Why Zero RB Will Work In 2019
James Conner, Phillip Lindsay, Damien Williams, Gus Edwards, Austin Ekeler. In the final month of the 2018 fantasy season, these five running backs were regularly ranking amongst the top-20 at the position, often as high as top-10 or top-five. One thing they all had in common: None of them even sniffed the top 100 preseason rankings […]
Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~67 Overall Current ADP: ~90 Currently, Sammy Watkins is barely a tier-five WR in our rankings with an ADP around 90.

Houston made a few of them in one day on Saturday. But this release was seen coming from space like the […]
Updated Running Back Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring
Running back is the most volatile position in fantasy football. It's possible to put together a winning team while going "zero RB" (not picking a running back in the early rounds), proving how much change there can be in many running backs' value over the course of a year. I don't recommend doing this, for […]
Passing on Passers - A Case For Drafting Your QB1 Late
We all know that Patrick Mahomes, in his second season as an NFL player and his first as a full-time starter, broke a record set in 2013 by the very own Peyton Manning. In 2018, Mahomes finished the season with 417.1 fantasy points, edging Manning's 412 by 5.1 in the final tally. That is impressive […]

Observations From My First FFPC Draft
