Nick Mariano's 2020 Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon.

Justin Jefferson Could Have Early Role In Offense

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is already expected to play a pivotal role in the offense in 2020. The first-round draft pick may not have the blow-away speed of departed receiver Stefon Diggs, but is a versatile route-runner who can play outside or in the slot. The Vikings have been decimated on the defensive […]

Andrew Lalama's Top 10 Half-PPR Rankings

I’m considering David Johnson at six.  Not the sixth round, but at sixth overall.  I’m hoping to land Devonta Freeman or Derrick Henry in the third round, but the decision is a tough one if both are on the board.  For quarterback, I’m either going Aaron Rodgers in the seventh round or waiting until the […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Minnesota Vikings enter the 2020 season with high hopes of winning the NFC North Division title on the heels of a 2019 campaign, which saw them finish 10-6 and reach the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.

Stop that Hype Train! - Stefon Diggs

Familiar wide receivers in new places are frequently risky to rely upon in fantasy.

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season.

I will […]

Running Back Stat Busts - Elusiveness Rating

A lot of elements go into making a running back desirable for fantasy football. Opportunity, a good offensive line, and a good offense are all key elements.

Under The Radar WR Signings: Fantasy Risers or Fallers?

Due to the ongoing pandemic facing this nation and the world, the 2020 NFL offseason has been a little tough to navigate given the lack of mini-camps and OTAs.

Vikings Working To Get Dalvin Cook Deal Done

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook arrived at camp last Tuesday despite previously stating that he would not report unless he received a new deal. However, under the new collective bargaining agreement, the 24-year-old ran the risk of becoming a restricted free agent beyond 2020 by not showing up, something he ultimately did not want […]

Yes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is a First-Round Pick

Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be a top-10 RB going off the board in the first round. That statement shouldn’t be controversial, but people are always hesitant to pay that high of a price for a player we haven’t seen in the NFL before. But you should not let that fear scare you from drafting CEH. Clyde […]

WR and TE Snap Alignment Breakdown

If you have been following football for some time now, you know that different alignments yield different results. Receivers aligned on the outside part of the field tend to be used more often on deep routes. Slot-receivers can be used as possession targets.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is still without a new deal and remains firm in his stance that he will not report until he gets paid.
