Offenses To Trust and Which Will Bust for 2018 Fantasy Football

It perhaps goes without saying that fantasy owners should look to draft players on high-powered offenses, as they usually offer a bevy of startable assets and have a higher chance for scoring opportunities than most teams.

Through almost two weeks of Training Camp, Green Bay wide receiver Geronimo Allison is still in position to see a large amount of snaps in 2018.
