Bear Down - Players Whose Target Share May Decrease

In order to rack up a lot of receptions and receiving yards, a wide receiver usually needs to get a good number of targets. For example, every 1,000-yard receiver last season had at least 100 targets. The closest anyone outside the 100 club came was Tyler Lockett, who had 965 yards on just 70 targets. […]

The King's Scott Fish Bowl Draft Review

For many years, professionals in the Fantasy Football industry attempted to create a Gold Standard of leagues, one that would be looked on as the premier experts competition in the country. For those who follow fantasy baseball, the annual Tout Wars drafts are considered the most prestigious experts' leagues in the business. Yet until recently, […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Wide Receivers (Part 1)

The stock market in fantasy football is always turbulent, especially during the offseason when draft choices, free-agent signings, blockbuster trades, coaching changes and off-the-field soap operas can change a player’s fantasy value instantaneously. The NFL has the longest offseason of the four major American sports, which means there are more months for a player’s fantasy […]

Buying James Conner as a First-Rounder

Last season, the biggest debate in fantasy football heading into drafts was whether or not running back Le'Veon Bell was worthy of the first overall pick, let alone a first-round draft pick. As we now know, he sat out the entire season, and his backup running back James Conner went on to be an elite […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Quarterback

With the Scott Fish Bowl finally drafting, two things are clear: The first is that charity is alive and well in the fantasy industry. The second is redraft leagues are starting to get geared up for the 2019 season. Of course, dynasty leagues have been drafting for a while now and the trade markets are active. […]

Rest Easy Hefty Lefty - A Jared Lorenzen Tribute

This week, Big Blue Nation, New York Giants fans, and the football world as a whole were hit with the extremely sad and untimely news that Jared Lorenzen had passed away at the age of 38. There's a good chance that you never had Lorenzen on your fantasy football draft radar or that you haven't […]

Lorenzo Carter Has Big Shoes To Fill In 2019

New York Giants linebacker/defensive lineman Lorenzo Carter has huge shoes to fill in 2019, as the second-year pro inherits the snaps of Olivier Vernon (traded to the Cleveland Browns). Vernon played 86 percent of the team's defensive snaps in his 11 healthy starts in 2018. "It doesn't matter what happened in the offseason with players […]

Saquon Barkley To Be More Dangerous In 2019?

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley finished second behind Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott with 1,307 rushing yards in his rookie campaign of 2018 and he posted 91 receptions compared to just 77 for Zeke. That showed off Barkley's amazing all-around ability. Heading into his second year he is expected to be more aware, […]

Late Round ADP Best-Ball Targets

We are still in the midst of a long NFL offseason, but it's prime time for MFL10s, BB10s, and other best-ball formats. Regardless of where you play, one important factor to winning is to find the best late-round players to plant a flag in. This means just as much in the long run of the season […]

Alex Tanney, Kyle Lauletta Duke It Out For No. 3 Job

New York Giants quarterback Alex Tanney appears to be on track for the No. 3 job after a strong spring. Tanney and Daniel Jones split the second-team reps during minicamp and organized team activities (OTAs), while Lauletta only saw third-team reps with Tanney. The fourth-round pick in 2018, Lauletta looks to be on the outside […]

Paul Perkins Sees Plenty Of Meaningful Reps

New York Giants running back Paul Perkins, not Wayne Gallman, was the first running back up during spring practices when Saquon Barkley was on the sidelines. The team is trying to limit Barkley's workload in the offseason, and it appears Perkins is the biggest beneficiary. He'll need to continue his good play into training camp […]

Scott Simonson, C.J. Conrad Show Out In Spring

New York Giants tight end Scott Simonson ran with the first and second team during spring practices when Evan Engram was held out of the sessions. Beat writer Matt Lombardo said Simonson made some impressive grabs during the session, as he challenges for the primary backup job behind Engram. He and undrafted rookie C.J. Conrad […]

Darius Slayton Back On Track In Competition

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton reportedly had a rough minicamp, but he rebounded during organized team activities (OTAs), and is back on track in the hunt for the No. 3 receiver job heading into training camp and the preseason. He was clocked with a 4.39 time in the 40-yard dash, and he gives […]

Daniel Jones Impressive In First Round Of Practices

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was impressive during spring practices, and head coach Pat Shurmur said the rookie out of Duke is "on track to play Day 1." Hints of a potential quarterback competition didn't rattle QB Eli Manning this week, as he brushed off the potential of a controversy. Still, the Giants used […]

Sterling Shepard Impresses In Spring Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard was considered far and away the most dominant receiver on the field during spring practices, according to beat writer Matt Lombardo. He worked in the slot, but also was used on deep post patterns, as he transitions to more of a complete receiver with Odell Beckham Jr. now […]

Wayne Gallman Struggles During Spring Practices

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman is penciled in as the No. 2 back behind starter Saquon Barkley, but he reportedly struggled during spring practice. Gallman had multiple dropped passes during the practice sessions, and some of the first-team reps (with Barkley sitting out), went to Paul Perkins. The latter, as well as Jonathan […]

Paul Perkins Getting Second-Team Reps

The New York Giants know who their starting running back is because Saquon Barkley is on the team's roster, but there appears to be a surprise candidate for the number-two job appearing during offseason workouts as Paul Perkins has been getting second-team reps. Perkins missed all of last season and has struggled in the instances […]

Eli Manning Doesn't Believe Giants Have QB Competition

New York Giants veteran quarterback Eli Manning told NFL.com that he doesn't believe the Giants have a quarterback competition going on right now. Manning intends to help rookie Daniel Jones transition to the NFL, but he doesn't feel that Jones is a threat to his starting job at this point. It's hard to tell if […]

2019 NFL Rookie Rankings Analysis

With the 2019 NFL Draft now behind us, fantasy owners are now looking forward to the upcoming season. The first step in this process tends to be rookie drafts for those in dynasty formats. Now is the time to become acquainted with the new blood in the league, the teams in which they were drafted, […]

Who Is the No. 1 Overall Pick in Fantasy Football for 2019?

Let’s get this out of the way early, about two months before a lot of people even have their drafts. Even the most fair-weather fantasy football owner or someone who does not actually play the game may ask this question. If they hear you talking about fantasy football, they might simply ask you this if […]

Born to Run - A Case for Going RB/RB to Start Your Draft

Zero RB discussion seems to rear its head every season. It can be an effective strategy, depending on when you are picking in your draft. However, there is another school of thought and that is Zero WR. While going into any draft with a pre-ordained strategy will lead to mistakes being made in your draft, […]

Rookie Draft ADP Arbitrage - DK Metcalf vs Mecole Hardman

If you were hoping to grab an elite rookie running back like New York Giants' running back Saquon Barkley last year, there aren't a ton of options. On the flip side, if you're in the market for a wide receiver, there are a number of great young options including D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks […]

Winning Best-Ball Draft Strategies

If you're familiar with the best-ball scene of fantasy football, you can skip ahead. For those of you who are new to one of the most exciting and fastest-growing forms of fantasy sports, welcome!

Sophomore Slump - Rookies Who Will Underperform in 2019

The NFL had a number of rookies that performed well last year. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley totaled over 2,000 yards from scrimmage. Multiple wide receivers become fixtures in their team's offenses. There were even some rookie tight ends that were able to make some noise for their respective teams. However, it's unlikely […]

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Goes After Kyler Murray in Dynasty Drafts?

Asking the question "which first-year quarterback should go first in rookie drafts" is, basically, a bad question. You don't need to read a 1000 word piece from me about why to pick Kyler Murray over the other quarterbacks in this class. No way. Kyler should be the first quarterback off the board in 100 percent […]

Le'Veon Bell - Still a Fantasy First-Rounder?

We are largely in uncharted territory when it comes to Le'Veon Bell. If there has been a previous instance of an elite player sitting out a full season and changing teams, I'm not aware of it. We last saw Bell play football in 2017. As a Steeler, Bell benefited from one of the league's best offensive […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB is #1 in Rookie Drafts?

This year's rookie class didn't feature an undisputed 1.01 player like 2018 did with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was a unique talent who led to people selling their entire dynasty teams and possibly their firstborn child to draft him. That paid off, but this year doesn't feature someone you should go all […]

Giants Not Ruling Out Daniel Jones For Week 1

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur isn't ruling out the possibility that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones is the starter in Week 1, but he also said that Eli Manning is getting ready to have a great year. Most draft analysts thought the Giants reached for Jones in the first round, but they were desperate […]
