You have questions and that's only natural. Inquiring minds want to know what the upcoming football season has in store. There won't be as much uncertainty surrounding the 2021 NFL season as there was in 2020 but there are always questions burning in the back of our minds. Fantasy football is filled with even more […]
Cooper Kupp Is A Safe Play in Week 1
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been one of the most consistent wide receivers in the game over the last few years, and he's ready for his first game with new quarterback Matthew Stafford under center. Kupp was a safety-valve receiver for former quarterback Jared Goff, and he can play a similar role […]
Sony Michel Can Be Avoided In Week 1
Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel is a player that could be interesting later this year in fantasy, but he can ride your bench in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. Michel just recently joined the roster, and he figures to be the RB2 in this Rams offense behind Darrell Henderson. The Bears were […]
Darrell Henderson Jr. Isn't A Top Option In Week 1
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. is the team's starting running back after the season-ending injury to teammate Cam Akers, but he's not going to be a top fantasy option in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears defensive strength this season is going to be up front against the run with […]
Matthew Stafford Looks To Start The Season Strong
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is ready for his first game in a different uniform after 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, and his first opponent is a familiar foe in the Chicago Bears in Week 1. This Rams offense is loaded at the wide receiver position, with Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp as […]
After the Draft: Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
Experienced fantasy managers know that once the draft is over, the real work begins. Leagues are often won through the waiver wire, not the draft.

Darrell Henderson Fully Recovered From Thumb Injury
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson (thumb) wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday. He sustained a sprained left thumb during practice on August 23. The 24-year-old is fully recovered from the issue and wasn't listed on the latest injury report. Henderson will still have a "huge role" despite the team recently trading for […]
Projecting RB Potential: Talent, Touches, Team Context
Running backs are the hardest position to project for fantasy football yet the most critical.

Conversely, a player who gets a high number of touches may not have the ability to take full advantage of the situation. […]

The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter.

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football
You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]
Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions
I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk.

Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]
Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target
With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]
