Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (foot, shoulder) was on the field Tuesday with the full team. The reports also say he was running hard.

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill.

Road to #1 Running Back - NFC East

Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters.

However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, with breakout players appearing […]

Boom or Bust that ADP

Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]

Let The Kids Play - A Case For Rookie RBs Over Veterans In Redraft

The common sentiment is to take established veterans over rookies in redraft leagues since we know what we are going to get out of them.

Josh Doctson's Injury Isn't Serious

It looks like Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint sprain/shoulder bruise after injuring himself in practice Wednesday.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury on Wednesday, and an update on his status should be released Thursday.

Late-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters

In part one, I identified mid-round values at the RB position. Now it's time to dig even deeper.

This is the exact type […]

With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount.

Washington Redskins rookie running back Derrius Guice has been drawing praise from the coaching staff for his presence in meeting rooms.

Alex Smith Comfortable With Jamison Crowder

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith has looked very comfortable throwing to wide receiver Jamison Crowder in training camp. Smith has hit him multiple times on quick slants and dig routes.

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115 CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: Many are calling Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines this year’s Alvin Kamara, but that seems like a stretch.

Training camps have now begun, as the days of summer continue their unrelenting progression into the preseason.

Stop That Hype Train! Rashaad Penny

With the 27th pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected Rashaad Penny, running back, San Diego St. Along with this pick came the hype of being a first-round running back in a pass-heavy league.

Is Patrick Mahomes Really Going to Air It Out?

The Kansas City Chiefs will turn to a new quarterback in 2018, with former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes taking the reins in Arrowhead Stadium.
