Nick Mariano's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Everyone loves to talk about sleepers and which late-round fliers are going to deliver them to the promised land, but those picks can only blossom when overvalued landmines are left for others to step on. Here we'll be looking at two players per position […]

Lotto Time - Late Draft Picks that Could Pay Off

During the draft season, we love to get hyped up on young, up-and-coming players. Spinning yarns about future stardom and inflating their draft price to the point where many of these sleepers are no longer values. The purpose of this article is to try and identify sleepers that no one is excited about - the […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~145 CURRENT ADP: ~155 ANALYSIS: Do you like Saquon Barkley? What about Odell Beckham Jr.? Evan Engram? All of those players are being drafted at sixth or higher at their positions, yet Manning is currently the 21st quarterback off the board. It’s really easy to dislike Manning’s prospects coming into the season. He was the 24th ranked […]

Day 2 Notes from the 2018 National Fantasy Football Convention

We continue our coverage of this year's National Fantasy Football Convention (NFFC) with more player interviews from Sunday. The second NFFC took place in Fort Worth, Texas, so there were many Cowboys players and press in attendance, but several fantasy-relevant players from other teams were also present and willing to answer questions. As a member […]

DeMarco Murray Retiring

Free-agent running back DeMarco Murray announced his retirement on Friday at the age of 30, according to a source. He's calling it quits after nagging injuries held him to 184 carries for 659 yards (career-low 3.6 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in 15 games with the Titans in 2017. Murray reached the 1,000-yard mark […]

Stop The Slander - RBBC Isn't a Four-Letter Word In Fantasy Football

As millions prepare for their respective fantasy football draft, know this - the key to your salvation may be the same thing you have been programmed to distrust, loathe and sometimes ignore its existence altogether. Running Back By Committee or RBBC is not a four-letter word. What if I told you the most treasured new […]

Pay Up! Auction Draft Strategies for 2018

There’s nothing more exciting in a fantasy football auction when you have one of your top targets up and you currently have the highest bid. You hear the auctioneer yell, “Going once”, as your palms start to sweat with anticipation. “Going twice,” you think you may have just had a heart attack. “Sold!” You suddenly […]

Jordan Matthews - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

I thought Jordan Matthews had sleeper appeal even before Julian Edelman was caught cheating. While Matthews' ADP has risen a bit, by no means is he costly. I know it's been a while was Matthews was "good," but hear me out. He didn't suddenly forget how to football. Matthews has an impressive college resume. He's […]

Derrick Henry Could Lead Titans Backfield

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry could still easily lead the backfield in rushing attempts and rushing yards despite the offseason signing of Dion Lewis. However, the more versatile Lewis could have more all-purpose yards than Henry. The Titans will surely create game-day packages for each back, and both runners could be on the field […]

2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]

Dynasty RB Rankings Analysis (June)

As we draw ever-closer to NFL training camps, dynasty owners are gearing up for drafts already. Many rookie drafts have already begun, but the best is the dynasty startup where you get to create a new franchise from scratch. Dynasty is a different beast than redraft, so you need to know how to value each […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~25 CURRENT ADP: ~35 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry seemed to be in line for a massive workload in a run-heavy offense with no competition for touches in sight. That all changed when Dion Lewis got PAID. The addition of Lewis does not destroy Henry's fantasy value, but it certainly does not help either. Henry may still […]

Running Back Handcuffs Worth Drafting as Standalone Players

I've never been a handcuff enthusiast. I don't think it's an effective strategy. If I draft Kareem Hunt this year, I don't want Spencer Ware. He would just sit on my bench and have no chance at being a useful asset...unless Hunt goes down. I don't want Hunt to go down and I certainly would […]

The Million Dollar Question - RB or WR in 2018?

What’s up fantasy Jabronis?  I’m taking a stab at answering the biggest question of all: What is the meaning of life? Is there life on other planets? What does wearing pleated pants in today's age say about you? Nope. You’ll have to ask el Camello or Raphstradamus about the pants.  But I am here to […]

If at First You Don't Succeed... Second-Year NFL Breakouts

Do you remember your first year playing fantasy football? I can't talk about myself because I was 14 at the time and everyone in my league was essentially playing for the first time. But over the years, as I got older, I saw plenty of friends introduced to the world of fantasy sports. Many of […]

It is a great time for tight ends in the NFL and in fantasy football!

Five Questions About 2018 You Wish You Knew The Answer To

The 2018 NFL season is slowly approaching. Organized team activities are happening. Free agents have mostly decided where they'll play. Fantasy drafts are even underway in some parts of the fantasy world. Even if you haven't drafted for a league yet, you've already been up to your ears in mocks, right? RIGHT? It isn't just […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)

The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before. Running the ball made a comeback this past season, as did spreading the ball around to many different pass catchers instead of zoning in one guy all the time. 24 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, compared to […]

ADP Arbitrage - Mid-round Players to Target in Redraft

You can and probably will do mock drafts every week until the cows come home, but based on the likes, dislikes and sometimes erratic decisions of your league mates, you can never be certain just how your particular situation will end up on draft night. That means that there is a chance that you miss […]

Pierre Camus, Steve Halupka and I have put together consensus rankings for dynasty leagues. I’ll be […]

Jack Conklin Making Progress

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) is making progress, but he was held out of organized team activities and minicamp and it's unknown if he'll be ready for the start of training camp next month. Head coach Mike Vrabel mentioned the Physically Unable to Perform list as a possibility for Conklin. It's also too […]

Marcus Mariota Looks Faster

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has looked faster during offseason workouts now that he has shed his bulky knee brace. While working in a new offense heading into the 2018 season, Mariota has also cleaned up some his technique issues throwing the football. The 24-year-old has a great offensive line at his disposal and a […]

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 […]

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

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 […]
