Ellis' Top 50 Running Back Rankings - PPR Fantasy Football Analysis
It's time to start ranking the most important position in fantasy. Running backs truly make or break your fantasy season, and unfortunately, there aren't many fantasy stars at the position. So no pressure releasing my rankings in May, right? The landscape didn't really change during the NFL draft (outside of three teams). However, with all […]
2022 Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback
Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Aaron […]

Kyle Philips Impresses At Rookie Minicamp
Tennessee Titans fifth-round wide receiver Kyle Philips looked good at rookie minicamp over the weekend. He was arguably the biggest star of the day on Friday, when he caught one pass after another.

Treylon Burks Doesn't Get Off To Strong Start In Camp
Tennessee Titans first-round wide receiver Treylon Burks left rookie minicamp practice on Friday because of breathing issues. He had a pair of catches in his return on Saturday, but he also had a really bad drop in the middle of the field on a perfectly thrown pass. It wasn't a great start for Burks, but […]
Malik Willis Not Competing For Ryan Tannehill's Job
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Malik Willis isn't in a competition with Ryan Tannehill right now, and he won't be breathing down Tannehill's neck to win the starting job in training camp either.

Justin Fields Dynasty Price Check for Fantasy Football

Mike Vrabel: Ryan Tannehill Not "A Mentor Or A Coach"
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill recently caused an uproar by stating it wasn't his job to mentor Malik Willis.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine To Have Bigger Role?
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine became more comfortable as a route-runner and pass-catcher as the season progressed last year, and he believes he's ticketed for a bigger role in 2022 after the team traded A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles and released Julio Jones. Westbrook-Ikhine's 38 catches last year was second behind Brown's 63. […]
