ADP Arbitrage - Mid-round Players to Target in Redraft

Ryan Griffin Could Challenge For Backup Job

Although Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has much more experience, quarterback Ryan Griffin has an opportunity to leapfrog Fitzpatrick for backup duties in training camp. With Jameis Winston facing a three-game suspension to open the year, that means that Griffin could be under center in Week 1 when the Bucs face off against the […]

Jameis Winston To Be Hit With Three-Game Suspension

The NFL is planning to suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston for the first three games of the season for violating the personal-conduct policy, according to league sources. This comes in response to an incident in March of 2016 in which Winston apparently groped an Uber driver, although he was never charged with anything. […]

Jameis Winston Expecting To Be Hit With Suspension

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is expecting to be suspended by the NFL for an alleged incident from March of 2016 in which he groped an Uber driver in Arizona, according to ESPN Tallahassee radio host Jeff Cameron. “The thought from the Winston camp is that would be a maximum of three games.

Ronald Jones Could See 15-20 Touches Per Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones, a second-round pick, could see 15 to 20 touches per game in his first season. It's a bit of speculation from the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud, but it's clear that Jones has the most upside out of the group between Peyton Barber, Charles Sims and Jacquizz […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Tight End (Half-PPR)

Unfortunately, tight ends as a position have been losing value in the NFL for quite a while. Gone are the days where tight ends were fantasy points machines, as teams are spreading the ball more and more and using their tight ends as blockers. However, there are still several high-performance tight ends in the league […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Half-PPR)

The last few years has seen a fall from grace for the wide receiver position in fantasy football formats. Due to the changes in offensive structures of teams (more of them spreading the ball around), the list of top wide receivers has become smaller and smaller. However, that does not mean that there are still […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Just like loyal fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I had high hopes for the team entering 2017. They had made some key free agent acquisitions including DeSean Jackson, had a defense anchored by Kwon Alexander and Lavonte David and franchise quarterback Jameis Winston had another year to grow. Everything seemed to be in place […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Running Backs (Half-PPR)

Aside from quarterbacks, no other position has more depth than running backs. Even in half-ppr formats, workhorse and satellite backs alike can thrive on the fantasy gridiron. Because fantasy owners have been treated with a plethora of talented options at this position, you can find top talent after the first few rounds of the draft […]

Chris Godwin Standing Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been standing out at minicamp and continues to make plays every day. Godwin looked good down the stretch in his rookie season, catching 34 passes for 525 yards (15.4 yards per catch) and one touchdown, but he'll have to beat out Adam Humphries for No. 3 duties […]

Bucs Could Be Going With Three-Headed Monster At Running Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones, a second-round pick, is expected to share the load with Peyton Barber, with Charles Sims having a chance to keep the third-down role he had in 2017. Jones, however, must first show the coaching staff that he understands the offense and can pass protect. The faster he […]

Is there a WR1 hidden in Golden Tate's stats?

What else does Golden Tate need to do for his name to start popping up in WR1 discussions for PPR leagues? One of the most underrated assets in PPR leagues, Tate continues to be the gold standard of consistency and yet, his name is not one that typically enters the conversation of those top-tier wide […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Expected To Be Ready For Minicamp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul isn't injured but hasn't been taking part in organized team activities. He's expected to be at mandatory minicamp, which starts next Tuesday, and a source closely involved with JPP's offseason training program said that he trains for four hours every day.

Born to Run - Starting RB/RB in Fantasy Football Drafts

Way back when I first started playing this wonderful game, this type of article would be superfluous. Obviously you should go RB/RB if you can. That was back in 2003 and for much of the 2000s, there was little debate over the optimal strategy - if you could get two quality RBs in the first […]

Peyton Barber In Great Shape Physically

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, who led the team in rushing last year with a career-high 423 yards, worked hard on his physique in the offseason in order to try and remain the starter, even after the Bucs drafted Ronald Jones in the second round. Barber also had three touchdowns and 3.9 yards […]

Drafting Quarterbacks in MFL10s

Entering the classroom fifteen years ago, I received prudent advice from a veteran educator: great teachers “illustrate their thinking” in order for the scholar to acquire a better understanding of the lesson. I took the sage suggestion to heart and have tried to illuminate students’ critical thinking skills everyday of my career. As a fantasy […]
