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 […]
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 […]
Patrick Mahomes Hasn't Missed A Beat
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play well in the preseason. Mahomes has completed 14-of-19 passing attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games. He was an elite fantasy option last year, so it seemed unlikely that he could be that good again. However, Mahomes might actually be super human […]
Carlos Hyde Works With Backups Monday
While Kansas City Chiefs running backs Damien Williams, Darwin Thompson and Darrel Williams worked with the first-team offense in practice on Monday, Carlos Hyde worked with the backups. Hyde is currently buried on the depth chart and looks likely to be cut this weekend. The 28-year-old did very little of anything in 14 games between […]
Chad Henne Suffers Broken Ankle
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) will undergo surgery for a broken ankle on Tuesday. Henne was injured in the preseason game against the 49ers on Saturday and will obviously miss a big chunk of time. As a result, the Chiefs signed veteran Matt Moore to be Patrick Mahomes backup to begin the season. […]

Matt Moore Signs With Chiefs
Free-agent quarterback Matt Moore, who was most recently with the Miami Dolphins, signed an undisclosed deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. Moore will replace quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' backup. Henne was lost over the weekend due to a fractured right ankle. Mahomes is the No. 1 quarterback in fantasy, […]

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 […]
Around the NFL Pop Quiz: NFC North
In an effort to write these columns before the start of the season, I ask a lot of people their thoughts on everyone under the sun in fantasy. None of these interactions are as rewarding when I ask my wife her thoughts on her favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. They aren't, uh, thorough. Me: […]
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 […]

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 […]

Slot Receiver Sleepers to Target in Fantasy Drafts
Depending on the offense, wide receivers who line up in the slot can play an invaluable role in moving the chains. While some of the big-name wide receivers like Tyreek Hill and JuJu Smith-Schuster are projected to run a large number of their routes from the interior, some of the lesser-known slot receivers can provide […]
Spencer Aguiar's 2019 PPR RB Projections and Rankings (Part One)
After a two-year span that saw running backs suffer diminishing value between 2016 and 2017, it appears as if the position is back on top. According to the ADP on Fantasypros.com, 15 of the top 30 players are ball carriers and being able to tier them off into the correct section will be vital for […]

Deon Yelder Suffers Ankle Injury
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Deon Yelder (ankle) is likely going to be sidelined for the rest of the preseason. He suffered an ankle injury, so the Chiefs are likely going to be cautious here. He was expected to be the No. 2 tight end behind Travis Kelce, but his status for Week 1 is […]

Deeper Dynasty Sleepers to Stash (Premium Content)
Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes in fantasy football. It could be the undrafted free agent that teams passed over on draft day. It could be a third-string RB that suddenly ascends to relevance.

Darwin Thompson is Getting Goal-Line Work
Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson is reportedly getting goal-line work with the first-team offense. It appears at this point that Thompson has passed Carlos Hyde on the depth chart. Damien Williams, Darrel Williams and Thompson are expected to be the backs for Week 1. Hyde doesn't play special teams or really offer the Chiefs […]
Darwin Thompson Continues to Impress in Camp
Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson has reportedly jumped over veteran back Carlos Hyde on the depth chart. Thompson has been splitting first team reps with starter Damien Williams. He has nine attempts for 52 yards and one reception for 29 yards and a touchdown through two preseason games. The Chiefs are loving what […]
One Year Away: Players to Stash in Dynasty for Next Season
The cool thing about dynasty leagues is that you can have a lot of issues with your team and instead of just throwing your hands in the air in frustration, you can instead pivot to next year and work on grabbing players who can help you in the future. There's a lot of young guys […]
Top Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters
Zero RB discussion comes and goes every season, it certainly works in theory. Running backs are injured more often than wide receivers, and that means you are better to spend your high draft capital on elite wide receiver talent, then pick up your running backs later (try and pick several to give you more opportunity […]

He wasn't […]
