Saints Signing Michael Floyd
The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Tuesday, according to a source.

The former first-round pick in 2012 […]

Each year, elite wide receivers are some of the mainstays of fantasy football rosters.

Cameron Meredith Could Be No. 2 Receiver
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is the best option as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Michael Thomas.

Superflex Strategy - How to Attack Draft Day
Superflex leagues, for those that don't already know, are a fantasy football setup in which every team's lineup includes at least one flex spot that can plan any offensive position, including quarterback. Typical leagues with flex spots allow for just RB/WR/TE combos, but superflex throws the high-scoring QB position in the mix. Current conventional fantasy […]

Why This Year's Alvin Kamara Doesn't Exist
One of the biggest pitfalls of fantasy football analysis is recency bias. Whenever something new or innovative is invented or discovered, everyone is looking for "the next (insert thing) here."
