Deeper Running Back Draft Sleepers for Fantasy Football (16+ Team Leagues)

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure?

Is Zero RB a Viable Strategy in 2022?

Maybe the most controversial draft strategy in a redraft league is the idea that you want to wait until the 5th or 6th Round before you draft a running back. This concept gained traction after Shawn Siegele perfected it in 2013 by continuing to hammer the value at wide receiver and grabbing running backs with […]

This is one of the best times to draft for best-ball leagues, especially big tournaments like the FFPC Best Ball Tournament with a $200k prize! Rookies are being overhyped and are still overvalued.

Taysom Hill Rehabbing During Minicamp

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is rehabbing at the team's facilities during mandatory minicamp this week.

Michael Thomas Watches Practice From Sidelines

As expected, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) watched mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday from the sidelines on Tuesday. He has been rehabbing at the team's facilities throughout organized team activities and minicamp, but he hasn't been able to get back on the field after missing all of the 2021 season. The 29-year-old […]

David Johnson Visiting With Saints

Free-agent running back David Johnson is visiting with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, according to sources. The Saints have a big need at running back, so adding Johnson would make a lot of sense.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) isn't expected at upcoming minicamp.

Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairs to Target

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Michael Thomas Doubtful For Mandatory Minicamp

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is "doubtful" to be ready to participate in mandatory minicamp next week, according to head coach Dennis Allen.

Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Drafting - Jameis Winston, Christian McCaffrey, Michael Gallup

When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season.

Overvalued Backup Running Backs - Rhamondre Stevenson, Alexander Mattison, Travis Etienne

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

Running Back-Offensive Line Combos to Fade

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score?

Buy Back into Trevor Lawrence After Disastrous Rookie Season

Cheap But Good QB-WR-TE Stacks in Redraft

When it comes to daily fantasy football, stacking players from the same team and offense on concrete weeks is a sound strategy. That is why elite DFS folks out there use that plan on a weekly basis. Data shows how around 80% of the best DFS results come from squads that stacked at least two […]
