Cheap and Forgotten Players With Great Upside
As fantasy GMs, there are some things we'll never learn. One of them: forgiveness. Be it a bad stretch of games, a down season, an injury-riddled year, or even just a dropped catch on a would-have-been big play, we often put names on our never-again draft list. That happens every year in fantasy football. You […]
Rookies Expected to Struggle Early in 2020
If you know how DFS football works, then you know every week you have the chance to pick the best-looking players for the scheduled slate of games. For those playing season-long leagues, that's not an option. Once you draft your team you must stick to your decisions and only make minimal tweaks through the waiver […]
Early ADP Variations: Yahoo's Overvalued and Undervalued Players
Every fantasy football platform is different. There are the obvious ways they differ -- the way their apps look, the different drafting interfaces, etc. -- but there are also less obvious ways they differ. One of those ways is how their rankings and ADP look. Because there's no such thing as a universal rankings order […]
Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target
It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the mid-rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge upside. […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020
Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team in our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limiting the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense rather […]
Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP
Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]
Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers

Stud Wide Receivers You Should Worry About in 2020
The words sleeper and busts get thrown around by the fantasy community more than anything. You will often hear though that sleepers do not exist anymore. Well, there is no one at all arguing that there are no busts anymore. There are plenty of busts each and every season. And drafting a player that busts […]

Cleveland Browns 2020 Fantasy Outlook
Where to even begin with the Browns? After being hyped all 2019 offseason, they laid a stinker off the bat and got drubbed at the Dawg Pound by the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. That was only the start of a miserable year that featured newly acquired Odell Beckham Jr. not getting the ball enough, […]

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver
While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't have an overly great value at only […]
Five Questions About the 2020 NFL Season You Want Answered
Back in 2001, Denzel Washington treated us to one of the most legendary acting performances of all time with his portrayal of Alonzo Harris in Training Day.

CeeDee Lamb Will End 2020 as the Cowboys' WR1
While the Cowboys may not have expected CeeDee Lamb, the talented Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver, to fall to them at 18th overall in the 2020 Draft, they made the correct choice in selecting him rather than reaching for a position of need like a cornerback. Lamb's fall in the draft from a potential top-10 selection […]
Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver
I don't know how many times I've written this during the past few weeks, but here we go again: no matter how good a pass-catcher is, if he's not targeted often he will have no way to rack up fantasy points. With opportunities come chances to score points. Without them, catches are literally out of […]

New York Jets 2020 Fantasy Outlook
How about them Jets though? After a miserable start to the 2019 season which saw QB Sam Darnold sidelined from mono only to return and see “ghosts,” the team rebounded well. The Jets started 1-7 only to win six out of their last eight and end up at 7-9. They didn’t make the playoffs though […]

Carolina Panthers 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Carolina Panthers are in midst of roster turnover at a time when their NFC South division is looking ultra-competitive.

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8
The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins is concerned about the risks to players that will inevitably come with the NFL's return to play during the coronavirus pandemic.
