This article will serve as a deep-dive into the current state of the 2019 rookie running back class and determine which players are potential “value” draft picks in accordance with their average draft position. It may seem like an obvious topic to research in fantasy football, but there are plenty of examples of first-year running […]
Draft Strategy: Who You Want vs. Who You Can Live With
I'm a firm believer that the best part of fantasy football is the preparation leading up to draft day. Sure, the season is fun too if your team is good, but we all know what the other end of that spectrum looks like. I've always enjoyed the anticipation--reading articles and listening to podcasts, conducting mock […]
Justin Carter's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
It's bold prediction SZN and I am ready! This is the space for going out on a limb and making predictions that you're only maybe 10 percent sure will happen, but 100 percent sure that you want to happen. This is where, last year, I confidently proclaimed Patrick Mahomes a top-five fantasy quarterback before, umm, […]
How to Avoid the "My Guys" Trap
Have you ever sat alone in a dark room and addressed your perception versus reality problem? The problem I’m referring to, naturally, is your love for certain fantasy players and lack of recognition for others. Have you mock drafted and paid attention to the guys with higher ranks that you just gloss over until your […]
Why Zero-RB Still Won't Work in 2019
Zero-RB is a popular strategy that is touted online by several fantasy analysts. The gist of it is basically avoiding the running back position completely throughout the first few rounds of the draft, or taking a first-round workhorse, and then targeting wide receivers and maybe a premium tight end early on. The strategy, if properly […]
Analyzing Value in the 2019 Rookie RB Class (Part 1)
Last year was a particularly great year for rookie rushers, and it served as a reminder for how important it is to get familiar with these backs. Let's analyze the 2019 rookie running back class by considering college statistics, training camp chatter, preseason usage, and projected roles heading into the season. If recent history tells […]
Shaking the “Sleeper” Myth and Using Your Late Picks Wisely
I’m an 80s baby, so, like most of my generation, The Princess Bride played a major role in my early pop-culture consciousness. While most people remember the hulking physique of Andre The Giant or the crowd-pleasing chant of Inigo Montoya (“Hello…”), one part that stuck with me was Inigo’s calm criticism of his boss’ use […]
Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
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 […]
Stop that Hype Train! Keelan Cole
The Jacksonville Jaguars have moved on from the Blake Bortles experiment and are ready to enter into the Nick Foles era. This team has been littered with high potential wide receivers for a number of seasons, yet we have not seen any of these receivers perform at a high level for consecutive seasons. Could this […]
Running Back Standard Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
Running backs don’t matter. This may or may not be true in the real NFL but in fantasy, it surely isn’t the case. If it were the case, why are the top four consensus players all at the position? It is always great to have one of the top guys at the position. But if […]

Navigating Late-Round Tight Ends
When should I draft a tight end? This is one of the questions in fantasy football that gets the biggest split of answers. There is the clear cut tier of Travis Kelce (who you could argue is in a tier of his own), Zach Ertz and George Kittle, but their ADPs are high. With all […]
Tight End PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
Tight ends are tricky in fantasy football. Due to the top-heavy nature of the position, it is typically best to either land one of the top few or to wait until the end of the draft to find one. An elite TE like Rob Gronkowski in years past can elevate your roster with his performances […]
Nick Mariano's 2019 Late-Round Fliers (Premium Content)
All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We’re intentionally sidestepping the term “sleeper" because I don’t want to get wrapped up in debates over these guys not being “under the radar” enough.

Darrell Henderson Struggles Against Broncos
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson took the first snaps of Saturday's contest against the Denver Broncos. With Todd Gurley and Malcolm Brown sitting out, Henderson struggled as the leader, as his 11 carries were only good for 28 yards. With a string of lackluster preseason performances (overall 23 carries for 57 yards), odds are that […]
Spencer Aguiar's 2019 PPR RB Projections and Rankings (Part One)
After a two-year span that saw running backs suffer diminishing value between 2016 and 2017, it appears as if the position is back on top. According to the ADP on Fantasypros.com, 15 of the top 30 players are ball carriers and being able to tier them off into the correct section will be vital for […]

Deeper Dynasty Sleepers to Stash (Premium Content)
Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes in fantasy football. It could be the undrafted free agent that teams passed over on draft day. It could be a third-string RB that suddenly ascends to relevance. It could be a veteran receiver that finally finds a chance to shine. Or it could be that player from […]

Stop that Hype Train! Derrius Guice
The Washington Redskins are a team that looks to be devoid of fantasy options that get owners clambering over each other to select. Currently, there are a number of question marks over the offense- far more questions than answers in fact. However, that doesn't seem to have stopped the hype around Derrius Guice who is […]
Top Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters
Zero RB discussion comes and goes every season, it certainly works in theory. Running backs are injured more often than wide receivers, and that means you are better to spend your high draft capital on elite wide receiver talent, then pick up your running backs later (try and pick several to give you more opportunity […]
