Projecting RB Potential: Talent, Touches, Team Context

Running backs are the hardest position to project for fantasy football yet the most critical. A talented runner who has breakout potential may be hampered by a poor offensive system or limited touches. Conversely, a player who gets a high number of touches may not have the ability to take full advantage of the situation. […]

Michael Carter, Denzel Mims Good To Go

New York Jets rookie running back Michael Carter and wide receiver Denzel Mims (hip) aren't listed on the official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.

Mekhi Becton Practicing In Full

New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton (concussion) is practicing in full on Wednesday and has been cleared for the Week 1 season opener against the Carolina Panthers.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

If you already had your fantasy football draft, you might already be in trouble at the tight end position. That is because Minnesota’s Irv Smith Jr., who was burning up the cheat sheet charts in the offseason after longtime veteran Kyle Rudolph took his talents to the New York Giants, is now going to miss […]

Tevin Coleman Listed As The Jets Starting RB

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman is listed on the top of the depth chart and will start in the regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are expected to use a running back by committee this season; Ty Johnson and Michael Carter will be involved in some capacity. The 28-year-old rushed for […]

Elijah Moore Listed As A Starter

Jamison Crowder Has A Shot To Play In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (illness, groin) has a chance to play during the Week 1 opener against the Panthers. The veteran was recently diagnosed with COVID-19.

Running Backs To Avoid in Drafts?

Fantasy football drafts are all about finding value. As important as it is to find undervalued players, breakouts, sneaky late-round picks and sleepers -- it's equally important to avoid fantasy landmines and potential busts. Today we're looking at some running backs who may be overvalued, or disappoint fantasy football managers, and you may want to […]

Keelan Cole Projected As Starter

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole appears to have won a starting spot heading into the regular season. Cole has put together some respectable numbers with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It'll be interesting to see how he does with rookie Zach Wilson under center. The Jets have Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios, and Denzel Mims, but […]

Tevin Coleman Projected As Starter

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman is projected as the lead back on the depth chart. The veteran back appears to have the edge at the starting job heading into Week 1. However, that should be taken with a grain of salt since the team is going to use a committee approach at running […]

Blessuan Austin Cut By Jets

New York Jets defensive back Blessuan Austin was cut by the organization earlier this week. It was a bit of a shocking move to see Austin let go by the Jets. He started 11 games for New York last season. Austin recorded 63 tackles, four passes defended, and one fumble forced. Clearly, the 25-year-old didn't […]

Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts

The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]

Must-Have Players for PPR Leagues

Given that PPR leagues have essentially taken over as the new standard format across fantasy football, this article may seem fairly redundant with other "must-have" pieces but nevertheless provides valuable information. PPR scoring is inherently flawed given that dump-off pass-catchers that do not impact the actual game heavily are overweight in value. We are not […]

Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers

Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]
