Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)
It used to be that we ignored the tight end position until the middle rounds of a draft. Now, it's not uncommon to see a name like Kelce in the first round and not bat an eyelash, while Ertz and Kittle are guaranteed to be taken within the top 30 picks. In best-ball leagues, you […]
Late-Round Rookie RBs to Target in Dynasty Drafts
The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and the preparation for your fantasy football league’s upcoming season should be starting now, not in late August. In standard year-to-year fantasy leagues or keeper leagues where you can only hold onto a minimal amount of players, you are not going to find many late-round rookie running backs on […]
Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review
I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after […]
DeVante Parker Stands Out In Red Zone
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was excellent in red-zone drills at organized team activities this week, catching multiple passes. The new coaching staff and receivers coach Karl Dorrell are trying to use positive reinforcement with Parker, who has responded well to the approach. The 26-year-old is being given a second chance under the new […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick Outplaying Josh Rosen?
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been better than quarterback Josh Rosen at organized team activities this week, according to a player that didn't want to speak publicly. However, Rosen has played well and Fitzpatrick threw two interceptions at practice on Tuesday. Rosen is doing his best work in the middle of the field and […]
Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)
Quarterback has to be approached differently in best-ball as opposed to re-draft leagues. Whereas in most competitive leagues, you can get away with drafting one quarterback and streaming throughout the year if necessary, you don't have that luxury in a draft-only format. Bye weeks, injuries, and flat-out bad play must be accounted for during the […]

Rookie Spotlight - Diontae Johnson
One of the most perplexing selections of the 2019 NFL Draft was Pittsburgh Steelers' third-round wide receiver, Diontae Johnson. The Steelers took Johnson in the third round ahead of dozens of WRs which the vast majority of scouts and analysts had ranked above him. Wherever I looked, I saw a sixth or seventh round grade […]
Mark Walton Trying Out For Dolphins
Free-agent running back Mark Walton is trying out with the Miami Dolphins during their rookie minicamp. The four-round pick of the Bengals in 2018 was cut this offseason due to off-field issues. The 22-year-old had 14 carries for 34 yards (2.4 average) and no touchdowns in his rookie season. He'd be nothing more than depth […]
Xavien Howard Becomes Highest Paid Cornerback In NFL
The Miami Dolphins signed cornerback Xavien Howard to a record five-year, $76.5 million contract extension on Thursday, according to sources.

Will Arizona's New Offense Rise Like a Phoenix?
I think that there are times when we fantasy football writers need to own up to our past mistakes. I'm not talking about small things like "telling someone the wrong start/sit" or "being wrong about a sleeper pick," because those things happen. No, I mean when we get things very wrong, as I did back […]

Josh Rosen Has To Earn Starting Job
Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that quarterback Josh Rosen, who was acquired from the Cardinals last Friday, will have to earn the job as the starting signal-caller in 2019. The 10th pick in the 2018 draft will be battling with journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick, but we expect Rosen to win the competition and serve […]
Rookie Wide Receivers In The Best Fantasy Situations
Referring to the NFL Draft as “highly anticipated” does not fully describe the monumental level of hype and excitement that is infused into this annual event. The fascination that surrounded this year’s draft has now evolved into an unmistakable combination of excessive optimism and unbridled distress for the fan bases of all 32 franchises, while […]

The Miami Dolphins selected Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He becomes the second Clemson defensive lineman to go in the first round this evening behind Clelin Ferrell, who went to the Raiders at No. 4.
