Futures Market - Dynasty League Quarterbacks
This year was extraordinarily brutal for quarterbacks in the NFL. Andrew Luck never played a snap. Ryan Tannehill was lost in the preseason. Sam Bradford was gone after Week 1. Almost every week, it seemed like a starting quarterback with significant fantasy value was lost. Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer, Deshaun Watson all were put on […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers: Week 16
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

[…]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 15): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids
Coming into Sunday, this was one of the best cards we’ve had yet. It lived up to its potential. And then some. We saw a snow game, two overtime games, an incredible Sunday night football game, but it’s all overshadowed by Carson Wentz’s injury. It's so unfortunate to see the potential MVP go down in a […]
Futures Market - Dynasty League Wide Receivers
Last week, we looked at running backs in dynasty leagues. This time around, we try and decipher the wide receiver position.
