Inside the Race for the Next Great NFL Quarterback

The crowd at Arrowhead Stadium had gone deathly silent.

One play earlier, Bills quarterback Josh Allen had found Gabriel Davis down the middle from 19 yards out […]

N'Keal Harry, Patriots Exploring Trade Possibilities

The agent for New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry said his client has had "positive dialogue with the Patriots about exploring trade possibilities."

NFL Draft Projections - Top Rookie Running Back Landing Spots

We all know that running backs don’t matter. Well in the draft, this seems truer than ever. It has become rare you see a back go in the first round. But this is completely opposite in fantasy drafts. If you look at any fantasy draft, mock or real, you will find most of the picks […]

Fantasy Football Players with Red Flags to Avoid in 2022

Breaking Down the 2022 NFL Draft Running Back Class for Fantasy Football

Rookies in fantasy football are always interesting. Some can come through and be a league winner type like Najee Harris, Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Justin Herbert in recent years.

Profiling the 2022 Tight End Rookie Class for Fantasy Football

Why You Should Confidently Draft Rashaad Penny in 2022 Fantasy Football

Every once in a while, we get complicated players to analyze who may not necessarily fit the parameters of a normal career arc.

Tight End Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis for Fantasy Football

Tight end isn't everyone's favorite position in fantasy football. Beyond the top tier, we encounter uncertainty, frustration, and the need to stream. There is no such option in best-ball leagues, though. Securing a high-end TE, especially in a high-stakes league like FFPC that uses TE-Premium scoring, is very appealing but not everyone can have Travis […]

Questionable Target Hogs in 2022 Fantasy Football

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring […]

2022 WR Stat Sleepers - Slot Performance

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question the best way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of wide receivers, how they are lining up on the field has a direct correlation with production.

Running Back Stat Studs - Missed Tackles Forced

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

I will be […]

N'Keal Harry Likely Done In New England

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry is likely in his final days with the team.

Odell Beckham Jr. Drew Interest From Patriots

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. drew interest from the Patriots, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. However, New England instead opted to trade for DeVante Parker. Beckham is the top receiver on the market right now, giving him plenty of leverage in negotiations. On one hand, returning to the Browns or Rams makes sense given […]

Patriots Acquire DeVante Parker From Dolphins

The New England Patriots acquired wide receiver DeVante Parker and a 2022 fifth-round pick from the Miami Dolphins on Saturday in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick, according to sources.

Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

On the field, quarterbacks are the most crucial position of all. In fantasy football, not so much. This may be especially true in best-ball leagues where the highest win rates don't usually associate with the best passers.
