Drafting Running Quarterbacks in Fantasy Football: Cam Newton, Russell Wilson and Tyrod Taylor

The allure of the running quarterback has existed for years. Randall Cunningham was one of the first true dual-threats at the position in the 1980's and '90s, an era that also produced all-time great scramblers like Steve Young and John Elway. It was the arrival of Michael Vick in the NFL as the No. 1 pick […]

Which Half of These 2016 Wide Receiver Duos Should You Target? Part 2

NFL teams with two or more fantasy-worthy receivers present an interesting dilemma. How high do you value one player over another, relative to his ADP? It may be clear who is the better player and #1 receiver, but if the difference between the two is not significant, often #2 represents a better value. With receivers […]

Wide Receiver Standouts of the 2015-2016 NFL Season

An abundance of wide receivers posted impressive numbers this past season. Some succeeded in their first season with a new team, others just took advantage of being the number one at their position. Some simply broke out, and have now been thrown into the conversation for the future, on the field and in fantasy. Here's a look […]

Eric Decker's Memorable 2015 Season

Eric Decker was certainly a product of his environment in 2015. His undeniable chemistry with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick resulted in 1,027 receiving yards, 12 touchdowns, and 80 receptions in a season where Decker played all but one game. He played alongside the beast they call Brandon Marshall, forming the best wide receiver tandem in New York […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

Top Three Upset Picks for Week 15 of the NFL Season

Last week I went 3-for-3 in my picks, including picking the Raiders and Broncos as the game to avoid. I am not sure how many survivor pools are still going on, but I doubt there would be many left due to the insane amount of rash upsets there have been this season. Therefore, the last […]

Week 15 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick & A.J. McCarron

I hope you made it through your first playoff matchup or advanced into the playoffs in Week 14! Unfortunately the QB streams were pretty disappointing.

Week 13 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Hasselbeck

For Week 12, Johnny Manziel was thrown out after he got benched for partying. Of the other two, Jameis Winston delivered a solid 15.5 points.
