Dynasty Quarterbacks - Football Rankings Analysis

When looking at the quarterback position for dynasty leagues, just as the other positions, fantasy owners need to think about the construction of their roster. Are they in win-now mode and can saddle up with a veteran like Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or is the team building towards becoming a contender so it can […]

Early 2018 Sleepers - Running Backs

It is never too early to figure out which running backs are going to be the best sleepers in fantasy football next season – even when this season’s Super Bowl was played less than a week ago. Even though the NFL is still a passing league dominated by its quarterbacks and wide receivers, running backs […]

Deep Dynasty Football Stashes for 2018

Stashing players in your dynasty leagues is one of the most fun, yet simultaneously frustrating aspects of dynasty league fantasy football. It isn’t often that players pop up during their first year and make a big name for themselves in fantasy football. We’ve been spoiled in recent years with guys like Ezekiel Elliott and Odell […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers - Tight Ends

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback , running back and wide receiver positions. This time we're looking at tight ends who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Tight end isn't the most glamorous position, especially in terms of fantasy numbers, but it's an essential part of the game nonetheless. If you […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Running Backs

We've already looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback position. This time we examine the most volatile of positions, running back. As is usually the case, the running back position produced plenty of surprises both good and bad. Rookies played a huge role in 2017, as expected, but a few NFL veterans surprised us as […]

Kirk Cousins Would Be Interested In Broncos

Washington Redskins impending free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins admitted that he'd be interested in the Denver Broncos on the open market. "I would hope any team is interested in me, would love it if Denver is interested." Cousins said. With Washington trading for Alex Smith this week, Cousins will hit the open market this spring and […]

Early 2018 Sleepers: TE

The early outlook for 2018 for fantasy football’s top tight ends is as bright as a summer’s day at the Jersey Shore. 2017 was a decent season for the tight end position in fantasy football. New England’s Rob Gronkowski only missed two games due to injury, Kansas City’s Travis Kelce had his second straight 1,000-yard […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Wide Receivers

The top players at the wide receiver position this year included some names that no one ever would have even came close to guessing. Antonio Brown as the number one WR in PPR leagues isn’t something that is too surprising for anyone, but some of the other names on this list were far from locks […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Running Backs

Every fantasy season is full of surprises - that's what makes fantasy football so exciting. Whether it’s breakout players, veterans who fall off, or rookies shocking the world, there’s always something that just flat-out surprises us. This year, there were some major shocks at the RB position. The New Orleans Saints moving from their typical […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Running Backs (Part 2)

In Part One for RBs, I highlighted six running backs (actually seven, but Bryce Love decided to pull a surprise return to school) who have the potential to be drafted highly in the upcoming NFL Draft, but my general takeaway from this class is the depth. This class goes about 16 to 20 deep with players who could […]

Biggest Breakouts at Running Back - 2017 Year in Review

Breakout players are how you win your league. They are the players that finish the season ranked significantly higher than where you drafted them. Since we also have the Biggest Surprises series, I will do my best to distinguish a breakout from a surprise. In doing so, I am making a blanket rule at the […]

Biggest Tight End Busts - 2017 Year in Review

At the end of every year of fantasy football, you're left with some immediate observations about what you'll do differently in 2018. You'll spend time thinking about which RB is potentially going to be your money-in-the-bank guy in 2018, or which third-round wide receiver will make up for the 2017 mistake of drafting Terrelle Pryor in that spot. […]

#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review

I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade. […]

Redskins Have Offseason Priorities Aside from Kirk Cousins

Although reaching an agreement to extend quarterback Kirk Cousins is at the forefront of the Washington Redskins offseason focus, they have several other needs that need to be addressed. Beat writer John Keim of ESPN lists running back, left guard and speed at wide receiver as areas that are particularly in need of improvement. With […]

Kirk Cousins Will Take His Time Deciding His Future

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins will take his time and consider all possibilities before deciding on whether to sign an extension to stay in Washington or to move on to another team. "We'll take our time. I don't know how it's going to end. Just want to say thank you (to the fans) ... Thank […]

NFL Playoff Picks: Wild-Card Weekend

After one of the wildest Week 17's in recent memory and what felt like an extremely short season, we've finally made it to the playoffs. The AFC is very weak. The wild card teams have no shot at reaching the Super Bowl. The four division champs do. Over to the NFC, all six teams can […]

Chris Thompson Will Be Ready For Training Camp

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (leg) faces a four- to six-month recovery from the fractured fibula he suffered in a Week 11 loss to the Saints, but he will be healthy well ahead of Redskins training camp in 2018. Thompson was on his way to a career year as the most productive weapon in the […]

Jamison Crowder Has Disappointing Season Finale

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder had just three catches on seven targets for 25 yards in a disappointing loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. It was just his second game with less than 9.7 fantasy points in PPR formats over his last nine, and it came against a team he torched […]

Kapri Bibbs Totals 100 Scrimmage Yards Against Giants

With Samaje Perine exiting early with an ankle injury, Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs rushed 12 times for 47 yards and caught eight of nine targets for an additional 53 yards in relief. A late-season free-agent signing, Bibbs acquitted himself well enough down the stretch in Washington to get a look from the Redskins […]

Samaje Perine Injures Ankle, Exits Early

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine rushed just twice for three yards before injuring his ankle and missed the remainder of Sunday's loss to the Giants. It was a disappointing end to the season for the rookie runner who showed some promise as a between-the-tackles grinder for a short time after Rob Kelley was placed […]

Kirk Cousins Falls Flat In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had an awful game to close out the 2017 season, completing 20 of 37 passes for just 158 yards and three interceptions. He did rush for a 12-yard touchdown but couldn't get anything going in the passing game. It was the wrong time for Cousins to hit a sour note, […]

It only took 16 weeks for the NFL to get back on its axis. That's right, Blake Bortles threw a pick-six. It was his first of the season and 12th since 2014, most in the NFL. We also saw more teams eliminated and watched the AFC South continue to leave a horrid stench and make […]

Target Risers & Potential Breakouts, Week 17

Week 17 of the NFL season is always tricky for fantasy purposes. For this reason, most leagues wrap up fantasy action in Week 16. For a lot of us, the relevant games are over, championships having been awarded to Todd Gurley owners, and a handful of others I'm sure. Still, the somewhat chaotic and imbalanced […]
