Browns 2.0? A Cautionary Tale for the 2020 Arizona Cardinals

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predicitons for the Cowboys

The 2019 Dallas Cowboys fell well below expectations. With an extremely talented team, missing the playoffs is beyond inexcusable and led to changes in the coaching staff.

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Wide Receivers

I am introducing three metrics for fantasy football for the 2020 season: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple: take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player over/underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that […]

Early 2020 Breakout Candidates - Tight End
