How Useful Are Expert Mocks? A Side-by-Side Comparison

There are a lot of expert mock drafts out there. They're useful because they give you a good idea of who people who write about fantasy football are targeting. But there are a LOT more people who play fantasy football who aren't writers, and the drafts you actually do this month are bound to look […]

Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]

D.K. Metcalf Back On Field And Turning Heads

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (oblique) was back on the field for practice Tuesday after missing the team's mock game on Saturday. He was also limited during Monday's work due to what head coach Pete Carroll referred to as a minor oblique strain. Metcalf has been jelling nicely with quarterback Russell Wilson, including […]

Rashaad Penny Looking Like Breakout Candidate?

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is jockeying with fellow tailback Chris Carson for touches, and beat writer John Boyle says both appear poised for big things in 2019.

Seahawks Want Chris Carson Involved In Passing Game

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is looking to get running back Chris Carson more involved in the passing game.

Carson also noted that the OC is […]

How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars.

How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]

Ed Dickson Might Require Knee Surgery

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (knee) suffered a knee injury and head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday that the team is trying to determine if he requires surgery. If he has a procedure the veteran would be sidelined four to five weeks. Dickson had an injury-marred 2018 season, and it sounds like his […]

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings

I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]

Chris Carson Looks Good On Saturday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson ran for a touchdown during scrimmage on Saturday. Carson, who had surgery on his knee this past offseason, ran for 1,151 yards and nine touchdowns in 2018.

D.K. Metcalf Remains Sidelined

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (oblique) didn’t scrimmage with the team on Saturday after suffering an injury during the final play of practice on Friday.

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 When the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin reported that Harry “struggled to get open” during New England’s mini-camp, the overreaction that ensued was borderline nonsensical. The word “bust” quickly emerged on Twitter, and Harry’s ADP shifted downward. But any challenges that Harry encountered during his initial mini-camp […]

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~240 Too many fantasy players are overlooking or forgetting about free-agent acquisition Mike Davis. He is going to be more than just a backup to David Montgomery, as some are assuming. Davis performed well when pressed into action at times in Seattle last year and left the team […]

Will Dissly May Not Be The Starter

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly was penciled in to be the starter this season after coming back from a torn patellar tendon that he suffered last September, but offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is already discussing using a committee for the position.

Rashaad Penny Looking More Mature

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was gushing with praise for running back Rashaad Penny after camp opened up this week. Schottenheimer told reporters that Penny especially had a good day on Friday, and as he put it, "He's learning how to practice, I think I talked a little bit in the spring about him […]

Terry Wright Makes Some Waves In Camp

Seattle Seahawks undrafted rookie wide receiver Terry Wright got some special attention on Friday when he snagged a pair of passes from quarterback Russell Wilson during seven-on-seven drills. Wright is one of a small cadre of players vying to work in the slot as a later option along with Tyler Lockett, but with no standout […]

Geno Smith Excels In Training Camp

In the opening days of training camp, Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Geno Smith is getting a lot of attention for some of his throws. Smith was particularly complimented for a deep sideline pass he made on Friday that was dropped right in the bucket, and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Smith was even beating Russell […]

Bobby Wagner Re-Signs With Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks successfully signed inside linebacker Bobby Wagner to a contract extension on Friday. Wagner's 3-year, $54 million contract makes him the highest-paid inside linebacker in the league, and he'll help solidify Seattle's defense for the next wave of fresh talent. The All-Pro is widely considered one of the two or three best inside […]

Best-Ball Sleepers - Who to Target Late in MFL10s

The popularity of Best-Ball leagues has skyrocketed in recent seasons. There are several reasons why this format provides appeal to a growing number of fantasy owners. This includes the ability to conclude all roster management for the season once your draft has been completed. But the elimination of all decision-making during the regular season also increases […]

ADP Showdown - Drew Brees vs. Russell Wilson

Many fantasy owners these days employ the strategy of waiting on drafting quarterbacks until the mid to late rounds. With the amount of talent that is available early at running back and wide receiver, it's better to attack those positions. After the top 3-4 QBs are off the board, a case could be made that […]

Jarran Reed Suspended Six Games

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed was suspended six games for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Reed had 10.5 sacks last year and was emerging as one of the league's top interior linemen. Before the suspension, Reed was one of the top IDP options among all defensive tackles, but with the depth […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2019 - Wide Receivers (Part 2)

The fantasy football stock market for wide receivers has no offseason.

This is what happens in the pass-happy NFL these days. Whether it is […]

ADP Arbitrage - Maximizing Draft Value Early

While the draft isn't the only key to success in fantasy football, the early rounds can make a big difference. You want to maximize the value you get from those first few picks as much as possible. Many rankings and mock drafts have the same players in the same order early on. That doesn't mean […]

Geno Smith Gets Compliments In Camp

The battle to be the backup quarterback rages this offseason for the Seattle Seahawks, but Geno Smith is getting a lot of compliments from the coaching staff so far. Head coach Pete Carroll made specific mention of Smith's comfort with handling the huddle and making adjustments at the line, and he compared Smith's savvy to […]

Jaron Brown Could See Bump In Usage

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown filled a red-zone niche for the team last year, but head coach Pete Carroll seems to already be scheming for him in 2019. Carroll told reporters that he felt the team had "underused" him last season and expects to get more out of his this year. Brown only caught […]

David Moore Competing For No. 2 WR Spot

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore burst onto the scene in 2018 by making a host of acrobatic, highlight-reel catches to announce his presence. Unfortunately, he slowed down with time, and it turned out that his acrobatics covered up for the fact that he struggled to get open on a consistent basis. His highs have […]

Tyler Lockett Becomes No. 1 WR In Seattle

The Seattle Seahawks see big things in wide receiver Tyler Lockett, even if he's not very large. With the retirement of their steady No. 1 receiver Doug Baldwin over the offseason, Seattle will be trying to fill big shoes in the passing game. It all begins with Lockett. Lockett had a breakout season in 2018 […]

Three-Headed Monster in the Midway?

Chicago […]
