2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Wide Receivers

I am introducing three metrics for fantasy football for the 2020 season: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple: take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player over/underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that […]

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that the uniqueness of quarterback Taysom Hill's role requires the team to have a third quarterback active on game days, and that won't change in 2020 with Teddy Bridgewater now in Carolina.

A week into the NFL Free Agency period, veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders signed with the New Orleans Saints.

Teddy Bridgewater to Panthers: Fantasy Impact

The busiest thing about NFL free agency so far has been the quarterback changes. Entering Tuesday, we all still thought that the Panthers were sticking by their statement that they intended to enter 2020 with Cam Newton at quarterback.
