Cheap and Forgotten Players With Great Upside

As fantasy GMs, there are some things we'll never learn. One of them: forgiveness. Be it a bad stretch of games, a down season, an injury-riddled year, or even just a dropped catch on a would-have-been big play, we often put names on our never-again draft list. That happens every year in fantasy football. You […]

Give Corey Davis One More Chance

Tennessee Titans wide receiver, Corey Davis, is entering his fourth season in the NFL and already, many in the fantasy community are dumping their stock and refusing to buy at bottom-barrel prices. Davis is currently going off of the board in NFBC drafts around draft pick 200. Hardly anyone is reaching for him. Davis typically […]

Rookies Expected to Struggle Early in 2020

If you know how DFS football works, then you know every week you have the chance to pick the best-looking players for the scheduled slate of games. For those playing season-long leagues, that's not an option. Once you draft your team you must stick to your decisions and only make minimal tweaks through the waiver […]

Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the mid-rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge upside. […]

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 9-16

We've already run through the early rounds in Part 1 to find potential league winners in 2020 fantasy football drafts. Now, we move to the latter half of the draft. The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition

Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at […]

Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

One Year Away: Players to Stash in Dynasty for Next Season

The 2020 NFL season is going to be a weird one because of COVID-19. With fewer offseason activities and fewer preseason games, teams will rely on veteran talent more than usual, pushing young players down the depth charts. One thing that means for dynasty managers is that if you're in win-now mode, you have less […]

What to Expect from Washington's Backfield in 2020

The running back position in fantasy football is historically shallow. You traditionally have your five no-brainer top running backs worthy of a first-round pick, and another 10 or so guys deserving of a top-45 pick thanks to their situation/talent/history. After that, you have a lot of gray area. That gray area is where fantasy football […]

Titans Will Consider Stephen Gostkowski

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson said the team will consider free-agent kicker Stephen Gostkowski. A left hip injury cost Gostkowski most of his final season with the Patriots, but his .874 field-goal percentage is the fifth-best all time. "We certainly have confidence in Greg Joseph, I thought Greg did a great job for us, […]

Titans Want To See Jadeveon Clowney In-Person

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson said that he would like to see free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney in-person before he would consider signing him. However, the Titans still can't bring Clowney in for a physical after the pass-rusher had core muscle surgery in the offseason. With the Browns likely out of the running for […]

Titans Still Open To Long-Term Extension With Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson has continued discussions with running back Derrick Henry's representation on a long-term contract extension with just one week left to reach an agreement before the July 15 deadline. If the sides can't agree, Henry will play 2020 on the $10.278 million franchise tag. Henry led the NFL with 1,540 […]

Diontae Johnson: Breakout or Break-Ouch?

Every fantasy analyst and their dog seems to have Diontae Johnson on their 2020 breakout list. Despite last year’s accomplishments, which prime him for a breakout campaign in 2020, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t underwhelmed by my further statistical and film analysis. The 2019 third-round pick managed to have a very […]

Five Overvalued Running Backs to Fade?

Fantasy football is a game of values. Sure, it is much more complex than that. But in its simplest form, we are all trying to find the best values to put the best team on the virtual gridiron as possible. We all seek sleepers and players that can break out and give our fantasy teams […]

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't have an overly great value at only […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates: Quarterback

The league average touchdown percentage for NFL quarterbacks was 4.5 percent last year. Every year since 2009, the number's been somewhere between 4.2 and 4.6 aside from a one-year jump to 4.8 in 2018. That's not to say some individual quarterbacks don't exceed that number every year. Plenty do. 12 NFL quarterbacks had a touchdown […]

Sophomore Slump: Breakout Rookies Who Could Bust in 2020

This past NFL season, we saw a number of breakout rookies like Terry McLaurin, Josh Jacobs, and Kyler Murray. While many of these players will maintain or exceed their fantasy production from year one, there are some others whose production will become stagnant or even take a step back. Second-year players can have a wide […]

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Backfield Committees to Avoid in 2020?

In fantasy football, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his fantasy outcome--will drop without question. The […]

One-Man Backfields to Chase in 2020

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his […]
