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 […]

Brandon Scherff Unlikely To Reach Long-Term Deal

There's not much optimism that the Washington Redskins will reach a long-term deal with right guard Brandon Scherff before the July 15 deadline to sign players on the franchise tag, according to a source. If he plays the 2020 season on the tag, he'll make $15.03 million. Washington would like to keep Scherff around for […]

Washington Redskins 2020 Fantasy Outlook 

In recent memory, the Washington Redskins have generally been irrelevant when it comes to the playoff picture. There has been a lot of turnover at the QB position too, with Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, and now Dwayne Haskins taking turns playing the signal-caller for the DC team in the past few years. Amidst all the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Carolina Panthers 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Carolina Panthers are in midst of roster turnover at a time when their NFC South division is looking ultra-competitive.

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. was praised for his arm strength by Doug Williams, the senior vice president of player development.

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 […]

Old Faces, New Places: Free Agent Fallers

There is no way to describe the average NFL front office. Each franchise has its own set of rules, follows different parameters when evaluating players, and builds its roster in a very particular way. Even with a clear mindset, an organization's principles might be tweaked in order to accommodate players into the salary cap, for […]

Why Saquon Barkley Should Be the 1.01 Pick

This might come off as crazy but hear me out. Yes, Christian McCaffrey had one of the best fantasy running back seasons in PPR history last season but Saquon Barkley should still be drafted ahead of him in 2020. 2019 was tumultuous for Barkley and the New York Giants. They officially transitioned from the face […]

Ron Rivera Has High Praise For Chase Young

Washington Redskins rookie edge rusher Chase Young earned high praise from head coach Ron Rivera, who called the rookie a "mini-version" of former All-Pro Julius Peppers.

Adrian Peterson Hopes To Play Four More Years

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson said he hopes to play four more years in the NFL. Peterson, who turned 35 in March, rushed for 898 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 4.3 yards per carry in 15 games. Peterson is 4,139 yards away from breaking Emmitt Smith's all-time rushing record, but he would need […]
