Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Backfield Committees to Avoid in 2020?

In fantasy football, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team.

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team.

Old Faces, New Places: Free Agent Risers

There is no way to describe the average NFL front office.

RB Handcuffs to Target: NFC Edition

Imagine the feeling of using your early start-up draft pick on a bell-cow running back. He is a lock to get a majority of your team’s carries. He is going to be a major factor in the receiving game. Heck, he may just mess around and lead the league in rushing touchdowns because he is […]

Deshaun Watson Will Be the Overall QB1 in 2020

Best-Ball Tight Ends: Finding Sleepers with "12" Personnel

You have to draft at least two players at each position -- yes, even defense and (blech) kicker -- to cover your best-ball roster because you can't make in-season moves. I'm not one to draft two tight ends in most typical leagues, but I will in TE-bonus setups like FFPC contests, the Scott Fish Bowl, and […]

The draft strategies we implement in our fantasy drafts can change from season to season.
