Why Zero RB Won't Work in 2018
Take yourself back to the 2015 draft season. We had just come off the year of the receiver, highlighted by breakout rookie seasons from Odell Beckham Jr. and Mike Evans, and career years from Emmanuel Sanders and Golden Tate. In 2014, 23 players had 1,000 or more receiving yards and 10 had more than 1,300. […]
Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage
There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, what does this really mean? Completion percentage does little to tell us about a quarterback's overall ability in that department because it can easily be skewed by […]

Mike Williams Has Big Red-Zone Role

Mike Williams Getting Rave Reviews
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was the star of the team's annual scrimmage game, catching a pair of touchdowns in traffic. After being drafted by the Chargers in the first round of the 2017 draft, Williams was sidelined for the first six games of the season due to a herniated disk. After returning […]
Melvin Ingram Looking For More Sacks
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Melvin Ingram was on a mission early last season. The 29-year-old knocked out 7.5 sacks in the first five games of the season, but he slowed down as the season wore on. Finishing with 10.5 sacks, he still made the Pro Bowl team, but he obviously wasn't satisfied. Ingram has […]
Derek Watt Blossoming As A Pass-Catcher
Los Angeles Chargers fullback Derek Watt may get some more opportunities in 2018. With the team losing star tight end Hunter Henry to a knee injury, they're looking for more of an inside presence in the passing game and Watt has shown exceptional hands during training camp. Tight end Virgil Green is also stepping up, […]
Philip Rivers, Virgil Green Gaining Chemistry
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and tight end Virgil Green have been gaining chemistry in training camp practices lately. "(Our connection) is growing,” the quarterback said. “We're working through how I like things, what I'm expecting on certain routes. He's getting a feel for this offense. He was in it similarly with (Mike) McCoy […]

Joey Bosa Injured In Practice Tuesday
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) injured his left foot in practice on Tuesday but was able to walk off the field under his own power. He will undergo further evaluation. Having already lost tight end Hunter Henry (knee) and cornerback Jason Verrett (Achilles) for the season, the Bolts can ill afford to […]

Stack 'Em - Teams with Favorable Schedules for Top Players
Using last year’s results alone to predict this season’s outcomes is borderline foolish. Luckily, when it comes to the task of projecting the upcoming NFL season there are a few other factors which can increase our odds of success. I mean sure, you could draft based on talent and opportunity alone, but the number of […]
Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year
The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill. There's a major gap between the top talent at the position and everyone else in a way that there isn't for running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, so it can be tempting to grab someone in the Rob Gronkowski/ Travis Kelce/ […]
Boom or Bust that ADP
Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]
Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of the […]
Roberto Aguayo May Win Chargers Kicking Job
After constant problems last year, the Los Angeles Chargers are looking for a kicker, and post-hype Roberto Aguayo may win the job. The Chargers have allowed Caleb Sturgis and Aguayo to battle it out during training camp, and Aguayo has actually proven to be more accurate so far. Sturgis missed the vast majority of 2017 […]
Derwin James Makes Training Camp Debut
Los Angeles Chargers first-round pick Derwin James made his camp debut on Thursday. The 17th overall pick was initially sidelined for a few days due to a mild hamstring injury, but he looked fully ready to go on the field. He told reporters afterward that he felt 100 percent, and he already feels comfortable in […]
Dylan Cantrell Shining In Training Camp
Los Angeles Chargers sixth-round pick Dylan Cantrell is lobbying hard for a backup wide receiver role with the team. The 6'4" wideout from Texas Tech has been showing out throughout practice, and he's been taking the Chargers defensive backs to task in the early going. There's still plenty of time to go through the preseason, […]
Cardale Jones, Geno Smith Battling To Be Backup
The Los Angeles Charges are looking for a backup quarterback for the first time in years, and Cardale Jones and Geno Smith are neck-and-neck so far, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Lynn told reporters that the competition will be decided in the preseason games. Jones has a year of experience as the team's third-string […]
Trevor Williams Avoids High Ankle Sprain
Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams (ankle) avoided a high ankle sprain and will play in the preseason at some point. The Chargers won't rush him back, but this is great news for their secondary after they lost Jason Verrett (Achilles) for the season last week. Williams had a fine season for the Bolts last […]
Derwin James Activated From NFI List
Los Angeles Chargers rookie safety Derwin James (hamstring), the 17th overall pick, was activated off the Non-Football Injury list and will practice on Thursday. He will immediately jump in as the team's starting strong safety in his rookie season, and his presence will help account for the loss of cornerback Jason Verrett. James was considered […]

Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters.

That advice has worked well […]
