Early 2018 Sleepers - Quarterbacks
As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing. There are plenty of question marks out there still between free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft, but there are definitely some places where the starting lineups are beginning to take shape. The […]
Dynasty Quarterbacks - Football Rankings Analysis
When looking at the quarterback position for dynasty leagues, just as the other positions, fantasy owners need to think about the construction of their roster. Are they in win-now mode and can saddle up with a veteran like Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or is the team building towards becoming a contender so it can […]
Mike Evans To Play Out Fifth-Year Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans' agent, Deryk Gilmore, said that he and his client are in no rush to sign an extension. Evans is currently set to play the 2018 season under his $13.2 million fifth-year option, and Gilmore said they aren't negotiating a long-term contract extension with the team right now. Evans […]
Biggest Breakouts of 2017 - Tight End
After spending the entirety of early January rating the hot or not's for fantasy football, I settled in to enjoy playoff football. Between basically living between postseason college and pro football, as well as some real-life stuff that got in the way of my regular writing schedule, I enjoyed the most uneven playoff schedule in […]
2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Wide Receivers (Part 1)
Similar to the RB position, there's still plenty of debate about who's at the top of the class for wide receivers and what the order is at the top. As we jump into the prospects, I want to give a preview of my general style of analysis. Based on the work done by Kevin Cole, I […]
Deep Dynasty Football Stashes for 2018
Stashing players in your dynasty leagues is one of the most fun, yet simultaneously frustrating aspects of dynasty league fantasy football.

Biggest Risers and Fallers - Tight Ends
So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback , running back and wide receiver positions. This time we're looking at tight ends who improved their stock or saw it plummet.

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Running Backs
We've already looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback position. This time we examine the most volatile of positions, running back. As is usually the case, the running back position produced plenty of surprises both good and bad. Rookies played a huge role in 2017, as expected, but a few NFL veterans surprised us as […]
Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Tight Ends
The tight end position is one in fantasy football that can really go one of two ways. You either pay up to get Rob Gronkowski, or you wait it out and roll a guy like Cameron Brate or Jack Doyle out there every week. In recent years, there have been two young stud TEs emerge, […]
Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers
So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]
Todd Monken To Be Full-Time Offensive Coordinator
Todd Monken, previously the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach, will serve as the full-time offensive coordinator in 2018, according to head coach Dirk Koetter. However, Koetter will continue to call plays on offense during games. Offensive assistant Skyler Fulton has been promoted to receivers coach. Tampa ranked 18th in the NFL in 2017 with […]
Biggest Tight End Busts - 2017 Year in Review
At the end of every year of fantasy football, you're left with some immediate observations about what you'll do differently in 2018. You'll spend time thinking about which RB is potentially going to be your money-in-the-bank guy in 2018, or which third-round wide receiver will make up for the 2017 mistake of drafting Terrelle Pryor in that spot. […]
Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Quarterbacks
The quarterback position saw plenty of volatility in 2017, as 58 different quarterbacks started at least one game. And that's just for the Cleveland Browns... We saw a rookie sensation, some second-year ascents, and the possible beginning of the end for some established veterans. Then there was Old Faithful Tom Brady defying the odds yet again. […]
2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Tight Ends
Today we'll continue to evaluate the 2018 NFL draft class by taking a look at the tight end position. Typically, tight ends take a little extra time to develop into contributing members of the offense, but 2017 proved that some can make an immediate impact. While this class has some high-caliber talent, the expectation should […]
#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review
I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade. […]
Biggest Running Back Busts - 2017 Year in Review
I'm a firm believer that I know very little, and that taking my advice is generally the equivalent of asking someone on the street. I'm not referring to fantasy sports so much as everything else: how to cook a fish, how many quarts are in a cup, how to put together a desk, etc. When it […]
Biggest Quarterback Busts - 2017 Year in Review
Going into the 2017 season, I implored fantasy strategists in a long article to give up on waiting for quarterback, and instead pick one of the top-five guys in place of a standard third or fourth-round selection. Years of fantasy football statistics and results had pointed to the fact that only a handful of quarterbacks […]

Week 17 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs Industry Consensus
In Week 17, you can really throw the rankings out the window.
