D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Detroit Lions have been looking for a franchise running back since the days of the greatest pure runner of all time, Barry Sanders.

Engel's Angles: The DK Metcalf Love Affair Is Real

Early ADP Variations: Yahoo's Overvalued and Undervalued Players

Every fantasy football platform is different. There are the obvious ways they differ -- the way their apps look, the different drafting interfaces, etc. -- but there are also less obvious ways they differ.

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]

Diontae Johnson: Breakout or Break-Ouch?

Every fantasy analyst and their dog seems to have Diontae Johnson on their 2020 breakout list. Despite last year’s accomplishments, which prime him for a breakout campaign in 2020, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t underwhelmed by my further statistical and film analysis. The 2019 third-round pick managed to have a very […]

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position.

Los Angeles Rams 2020 Fantasy Outlook

One year after reaching the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams fell back down to Earth in 2019 and regressed quite a bit compared to their previous two seasons.

Brycen Hopkins - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Los Angeles Rams will field a retooled offense sans Todd Gurley II and Brandin Cooks in 2020.

Hopkins will serve as depth on […]

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

Jared Goff Being Given More Ownership Of Offense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is going to be given more ownership of the offense in his fifth year in the league, though it's unclear what that will actually look like.

Old Faces, New Places: Free Agent Risers

There is no way to describe the average NFL front office.
