Road to #1 Running Back - NFC South

Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters. With guaranteed touches each game, these consensus top-tier running backs are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, with breakout players appearing […]

Boom or Bust that ADP

Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]

Le'Veon Bell - Deal Him or Deal With Him?

When it comes to fantasy football, there are a few names that we think of when we think of guys with risk. We all know the upside that comes with players like Josh Gordon or Martavis Bryant. The ones that offer big-time upside, but also come with some major risk. Possibly the guy with the […]

Bucs Extend GM Jason Licht Until 2019

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have extended general manager Jason Licht for just one more season. This deal is essentially a short leash for Licht who has had trouble putting a winning team together in his time at the helm of the front office. Licht has had a seemingly successful offseason. He's made solid draft picks, […]

Ben Watson (TE, NO) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Once your draft has moved into the double-digit rounds, your efforts to pinpoint sleepers among the collection of players that remain available should become increasingly galvanized. While your ongoing attempt to stockpile running backs and wide receivers will continue as you advance through this portion of the draft, locating a second tight end to supplement […]

Vita Vea Dealing With Calf Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea's (calf) injury isn't as serious as first believed, according to head coach Dirk Koetter. It remains to be seen if Vea will be ready for the regular season, but it's a bit of good news for the rookie. He was drafted 12th overall in the first round […]

Nick Mariano's 2018 Late-Round Fliers (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We’re intentionally sidestepping the term “sleeper" because I don’t want to get wrapped up in debates over these guys not being “under the radar” enough. I may still throw it into the SEO field, though...no regrets. Instead, let’s discuss some late-round fliers that are […]

Road to #1 Receiver - NFC South

Each year, elite wide receivers are some of the mainstays of fantasy football rosters. With high target shares and production values, these consensus top-tier wide receivers are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick The Expected Week 1 Starter

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is the planned starter for Week 1 against the Saints, barring something unforeseen. Fitzpatrick worked with the first-team offense on Thursday at training camp. Jameis Winston is suspended for the first three games of the year, so Fitz should start in all three […]

Running Back Depth Chart Projections - Training Camp Edition

Now that the 2018 NFL Draft and the bulk of free agent signings have concluded, fantasy owners have a somewhat clearer picture of how each team's offense is going to look this upcoming season. Still, many roster positions are won and lost in training camp and the preseason, especially when it comes to the running […]

Superflex Strategy - How to Attack Draft Day

Superflex leagues, for those that don't already know, are a fantasy football setup in which every team's lineup includes at least one flex spot that can plan any offensive position, including quarterback. Typical leagues with flex spots allow for just RB/WR/TE combos, but superflex throws the high-scoring QB position in the mix. Current conventional fantasy […]

Why This Year's Alvin Kamara Doesn't Exist

One of the biggest pitfalls of fantasy football analysis is recency bias. Whenever something new or innovative is invented or discovered, everyone is looking for "the next (insert thing) here." In fantasy football, we constantly chase last year's production at our own peril. Alvin Kamara is coming off the single most efficient season for a […]

Day 2 Notes from the 2018 National Fantasy Football Convention

We continue our coverage of this year's National Fantasy Football Convention (NFFC) with more player interviews from Sunday. The second NFFC took place in Fort Worth, Texas, so there were many Cowboys players and press in attendance, but several fantasy-relevant players from other teams were also present and willing to answer questions. As a member […]

Adam Humphries The Team's Slot Receiver

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries is entrenched as the team's slot receiver alongside starters Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson. However, offensive coordinator Todd Monkey said Chris Godwin has "earned the right" to start as well. Humphries did post career highs in catches (61), targets (83) and yards (631) in his second season in […]

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~135 CURRENT ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum does not get enough love for making the move to Denver and giving them an upgrade at quarterback for the first time since Peyton Manning hung it up. Keenum’s current ADP is 145 and is the 24th quarterback taken in drafts. The Broncos have […]

Bear Down - Players Who Will See Market Share of Targets Decrease

In order for an NFL wide receiver to have a successful fantasy season, that wide receiver has to have the ball thrown to him. It seems so simple, but predicting how the share of a team's targets will shake out is difficult stuff when you factor in the combination of rookies and free agents that […]

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition […]

Texans Likely To Lean On Ryan Griffin At Tight End

With Houston Texans tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz retiring due to head injuries, the team will likely lean on Ryan Griffin in 2018, but his skill is as a receiver and not as a blocker. Stephen Anderson can provide a change of pace, but his size doesn't make him an adequate blocker. Houston also drafted Jordan […]

2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]

Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115 CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a down year and a lot of owners completely forget that the Cowboys had one of the best offenses just one season ago. In 2016, the Cowboys were fifth in yards per game (376.7) and fifth in total points (421). Prescott was one […]

Running Back Handcuffs Worth Drafting as Standalone Players

I've never been a handcuff enthusiast. I don't think it's an effective strategy. If I draft Kareem Hunt this year, I don't want Spencer Ware. He would just sit on my bench and have no chance at being a useful asset...unless Hunt goes down. I don't want Hunt to go down and I certainly would […]
