Wide Receiver VOS (Values Over Starter): 2019 Season In Context
The one (and only) good thing about fantasy football season ending is that we have plenty of time to analyze what happened during the past few months and put performances into context to prepare for next season. As football is an ever-evolving game, though, it makes sense to assess how good players were in fantasy […]
Introducing Value Over Starter Football Metrics
When it comes to fantasy sports, we're always looking for the highest possible Return On Investment or ROI. This concept is easy to understand: in both Daily Fantasy and re-draft/fantasy leagues, ROI would come down to how many points a player returns relative to his salary, or the price you paid (given his ADP on […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Confirms He's Returning For Another Season
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick confirmed that he will play again in 2020. All things considered, Fitzpatrick exceeded expectations with a rebuilding Dolphins club last year, and they'd like him back to potentially be a bridge for a rookie quarterback. Miami has the No. 5 overall selection in this year's draft and are expected to […]

Wide Receiver ADP Winners and Losers: 2019 Season Review
I've always believed that it is easier to lose a fantasy championship than to win it on draft day. It makes sense, as sure-fire players are expected to reward his owners with a lower risk-factor than the other way around and thus they're always drafter earlier. If they put up a season-long dud, though, you'll […]

DFS Wide Receivers To Target In The Divisional Round
In the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs, there were several disappointing performances from quarterbacks which contributed to low production from some wide receivers. D.K.
