ADP Fallers at Running Back

We continue looking at ADP risers and fallers through the offseason as we already completed our first run back in June. You can check our first review of the early-summer risers and fallers at running back, wide receiver, tight end, and quarterback.

Antonio Gibson - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Upon being drafted in the third round of the 2020 draft, Washington immediately stated Antonio Gibson would be a running back for the team. After the release of Derrius Guice, this is not only the most likely scenario, it's an opportunity for Gibson to shine. Gibson was a wide receiver turned running back during his […]

Stop that Hype Train! Hayden Hurst

Hayden Hurst, the 25th overall pick of the 2018 draft, has yet to live up to his draft status. You can blame the foot fracture he suffered in his rookie season for this, or that the tight end position usually involves a longer learning curve, but whatever your viewpoint is of Hurst, ehe fact of […]

Jalen Hurd - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is sitting on the clock late in your fantasy league’s draft knowing you’re about to pick a league winner. Late-round picks carry a lot of boom or bust potential, so there is a low-risk, high-reward payoff that could benefit your team either every week or through […]

Matt Breida - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Miami Dolphins finished 2019 in last place in the AFC East, but their 5-11 record was better than many pundits predicted. The rebuild started in 2019 with the hiring of Head Coach Brian Flores and the movement of stars like Minkah Fitzpatrick and Laremy Tunsil for draft picks. The rebuild continues in 2020 with […]

Jerick McKinnon An Early Standout In Training Camp

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has been one of the more impressive players at training camp, according to Cam Inman of The Mercury News. In particular, McKinnon's route running out of the backfield has looked crisp. It is welcomed news for the 28-year-old, as he has missed the entirety of the past two […]

Running Back Stat Sleepers - Missed Tackles Forced

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of running backs, considering overall elusiveness is arguably the best way to determine how good (or bad) a player's performance was. And that's what this is all about. I will […]

The Perfect Pair: Turning Mid-Round QBs Into QB1 Value

Since 2015, I've been in a fantasy football league with a guy whose sole mission on draft day is to select Tom Brady. And when I say it is his sole mission, I do not mean he takes four or five backs and receivers and then grabs Brady a round early just to make sure […]

WR/TE Stat Analysis: Catch Rate and Drawn Pass Interference

When it comes to drafting stud wide receivers and tight ends, we all pursue the same stats: receptions, yards, and touchdowns. It makes sense. Those three stats are the ones that ultimately yield actual, tangible fantasy points in every fantasy league, no matter the format. The savviest fantasy GMs often focus on targets, as without […]

Dynasty Market Watch: NFC West

The NFC West recently has become one of the toughest divisions in all of the NFL. The influx of new talent into this division has meshed well on both sides of the ball. The teams in the West have some of the best offenses in the league, which means it is stocked full of ascending […]

WR and TE Snap Alignment Breakdown

If you have been following football for some time now, you know that different alignments yield different results. Receivers aligned on the outside part of the field tend to be used more often on deep routes. Slot-receivers can be used as possession targets. Tight ends...well, they align mostly at the tight end position. And then, […]

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will need to be paid "as a wide receiver," according to former quarterback Steve Young.

It's been more than two months since the NFL released the full 17-week schedules for the 2020 season. We have no idea if we will get to actually watch any football during the upcoming fall and winter, but here's to hoping. If we make it there, though, the strength of schedule will always make a […]

Tee Higgins - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Cincinnati Bengals invested in their future this past draft. For a struggling franchise that can’t seem to even sniff the Divisional Round of the playoffs in recent memory, they now have a restored hope that it can be done soon. The first domino to fall was picking Heisman winning QB Joe Burrow out of […]

Boom or Bust - Quarterback Predictions for 2020

Quarterbacks are frequently devalued in drafts compared to their running back and wide receiver peers, and for good reason. Despite being the highest-scoring position in fantasy football in most systems, many drafters will take multiple players at other positions before taking a quarterback. A large tier of serviceable yet interchangeable passers typically exists each year, […]

Cheap and Forgotten Players With Great Upside

As fantasy GMs, there are some things we'll never learn. One of them: forgiveness.

That happens every year in fantasy football. You […]
