Five Overvalued Wide Receivers in 2018 Drafts

As draft season approaches, it is important to remember that each player has a certain value. Every player can become a good selection for fantasy owners if they provide good value relative to their ADP's entering the draft. Therefore, a common strategy among fantasy football players is to draft players who have fallen below their […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback

Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Drew […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - AFC West

It's been a long time since it looked like this Western conference was the best in the whole division. What, with their talent on both offense and defense, their litany of stars and excitement, and so many amazing options at both RB, so much..... Oh, the AFC West. My apologies. They are, uh, mostly fine. But really, […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Pierre Camus

Next up to bat, stepping up the plate... wait, wrong sport.

Tales From the Turn - Managing Snake Drafts With a Late Pick

I did a few mocks recently in preparation for a long-running league I won last season. 10 teams, ESPN standard scoring; nothing fancy just a group of buddies who started it to find more reasons to watch football together. The casual nature of the league has extended itself to the draft prep process, especially since […]

Sammy Watkins Must Earn His Keep

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has been quiet in training camp and the preseason, and the passing game so far has heavily favored receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce. Watkins signed a three-year, $48 million deal in the offseason and has been learning all three receiver positions while trying to develop […]

Analyzing Value in the Rookie RB Class (Beyond Saquon Barkley)

This article will take a look at the current state of the 2018 rookie running back class and determine which players are potential “value” draft picks in accordance with their average draft position (ADP).  A value pick is generally perceived as a player that will outperform his draft slot.  Last year, for example, Kareem Hunt […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Jason Katz

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 […]

Tyreek Hill Has Great Third Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was impressive during Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Hill finished with eight receptions and 88 yards, but did not score a touchdown. It looks like quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found his favorite target on the Chiefs roster. There was some worry that Hill wouldn't have the […]

Kareem Hunt Quiet in Saturday's Loss

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has not done much during three preseason games. Hunt was held to just seven yards on three carries during Saturday's loss to the Bears. The Chiefs are obviously not going to run Hunt hard and risk an injury right before the regular season. However, Spencer Ware is back […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well in Saturday's Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played well in Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Mahomes was 18-for-24 with 196 yards and one touchdown on Saturday. The reports out of Chiefs camp were that Mahomes has struggled with interceptions, but he seemed fine against Chicago. Mahomes did not throw any interceptions in the loss […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB Is #2 in Re-Draft?

Saquon Barkley will be the first running back drafted this year in re-draft leagues. There's no good faith argument I could make to convince you that some other running back deserves to be taken over Barkley, who will be a first round pick in most fantasy leagues. If you take a different rookie running back […]

Five Running Backs Who Are Being Overvalued in 2018

As draft season approaches, it is important to remember that each player has a certain value.

Tyreek Hill Should Continue to Impress on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been the best receiving option for the Chiefs this preseason, which should not be surprising to anyone. Hill is coming off a solid campaign last season, and looks like he has not missed a step despite switching quarterbacks. Youngster Patrick Mahomes connected a 69-yard touchdown with Hill […]

Travis Kelce Should See More Action Against Bears

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been quiet through the first two games of the preseason. Kelce has been held to just four receptions and 49 yards this preseason. The Chiefs don't want to risk an injury, so it's understandable why Kelce has not seen a huge amount of playing time. However, Kelce […]

Kareem Hunt Needs to Improve on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has been disappointing throughout the first two weeks of the preseason. Hunt has rushed for 16 yards on eight attempts during two games. It's a small sample size, but basically every other back in Chiefs camp has been playing better than Hunt. There is still plenty of time […]

Patrick Mahomes Needs to Find Consistency on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been fairly decent throughout the preseason. He connected on a huge 69-yard touchdown to Tyreek Hill during their second preseason game. However, besides that pass Mahomes has been mediocre and underwhelming in camp. The word from Chiefs camp is that Mahomes is struggling with interceptions, but he's only […]

Preseason Fantasy Risers and Fallers

NFL preseason action is a great opportunity to catch glimpses of what to expect from players come Week 1. Several names can boom or bust their fantasy stocks based on how well they perform in that span, making it especially important for fantasy owners to be aware of how each player has been doing. While […]

Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017

For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas. On draft day, this is an amazing stack of WR1s. By the end of the year, it's weekly middling to poor performances that the owners' highest draft […]
