Greg Olsen Could Have Sneaky Fantasy Value In 2020
Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen dealt with a number of injuries over the past three seasons, all spent with the Carolina Panthers.

Tyler Lockett Set To Be Seahawks No. 1 Receiver In 2020
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been extremely consistent, reliable and efficient over the past two seasons. Last year was his first season with over 100 targets and he delivered with 1,057 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde figures to open the year as the team's No. 2 back behind starter Chris Carson.

Russell Wilson Dialed In At Training Camp
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been dialed in at training camp this year according to Seahawks reporters. He's been spreading the ball around a lot and excelling in red zone drills.

Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates
The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us.

Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the […]
Does Houston Have a David Johnson Problem?
David Johnson might be one of the most head-scratching backs for the 2020 season. I mean, what happened to him?

Ironically, this is one spot […]

Fantasy Bretheren, listen up. There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello!

Fantasy football can be unpredictable. In a position like tight end, there are several elite options to draft before the value of the players starts to fall off.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~136 ANALYSIS: There is an overwhelming sentiment echoed that Duke Johnson will never be a lead back, primarily due to him not receiving over 100 carries in a season since his rookie year.

In the NFL and fantasy football, things can change as easily as the snap of a finger from campaign to campaign.

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)
The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps.
