Jared Goff's Contract Has Been Restructured
The Los Angeles Rams saved approximately $7 million off the salary cap on Friday by successfully restructuring quarterback Jared Goff's contract. The move was considered a given throughout the offseason, though the timing was a little surprising since the team allowed Goff's massive $21 million roster bonus to credit before completing the move. The savings will […]

Does Hand Size Really Matter For Quarterbacks?
So, Joe Burrow has small hands. Nine inches to be exact. It's been the talk of Twitter for a few days. Bud Light got involved in the jokes by asking Burrow to be the spokesman for their new tinier bottles. Pundits are convinced Burrow is going to be an NFL bust because of his hand […]

Gronk and Brady Reunited in Tampa Bay
Just two days before the 2020 NFL Draft was set to get underway, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stole the headlines and made a splash by trading for former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the trade of wide receiver Brandin Cooks was "a big vote of confidence" for wide receiver Josh Reynolds and his potential.

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Rams
It was a disappointing year for the Rams as we saw regression across the board from the offense. Jared Goff looked lost at times and the running game behind Todd Gurley II struggled to gain traction. Now with key players gone, can the offense rebound to what we were once used to? Will the NFL […]

Are Rookie Receivers Trustworthy in Redraft Leagues?
When I started planning this article, it reminded me of a draft I had last year in a very deep league. It was a re-draft league and a guy drafted Emanuel Hall, a Missouri receiver with 4.39 speed, signed to the Bucs a few days prior. Sure, it was a deep league, the Bucs' offense […]
Looking For Market Inefficiencies: RB Return On Investment
When it comes to Return on Investment (ROI), I keep things as simple as I can. I just take a player's ADP entering the season and divide it by his season-end final ranking among all players in the league. That's because every player is available in drafts and therefore every player should be taken into […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: TE Return On Investment
No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies.

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis
Just a year ago, we were bemoaning how boring the tight end position was in fantasy football. There was Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, George Kittle and a bunch of scrubs. Everyone else was lumped into an unappealing mass of nonproductivity. Then the season came and names like Darren Waller and Austin Hooper emerged as studs, not […]

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Tight Ends
Recently, I introduced three metrics for fantasy football: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple. Take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player overperformed or underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that in mind, […]
