Early Summer ADP Fallers at Running Back

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with.

Quarterback Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

On the field, quarterbacks are the most crucial position of all. In fantasy football, not so much. This may be especially true in best-ball leagues where the highest win rates don't usually associate with the best passers. This seems counterintuitive since there is no possibility to stream QB or pick up an injury replacement off […]

Trey Sermon Has Made A Strong First Impression

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Trey Sermon was drafted this year to provide depth behind veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. with an eye on a bigger role in the future.

Coaching Matters: 2021 Denver Broncos Coaching Staff Preview

Who Totes the Rock in Jacksonville Now?

The Jacksonville Jaguars were a disaster in 2020, finishing with the worst record in the NFL at 1-15, but one of the few positives was their running game.

2021 Yardage Regression Candidates - Tight End

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for tight ends in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position.

Early 2021 PPR Rankings Analysis - Running Back

It’s always good to comb through the rankings to see how players are being valued. The entire pool of running back is shallow at the top end.

Tight End Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Tight end isn't everyone's favorite position in fantasy football. Beyond the top tier, we encounter uncertainty, frustration, and the need to stream. There is no such option in best-ball leagues, though.
