A big part of the appeal of drafting multiple running backs early in redraft leagues is that their roles are usually more […]

The term "dark horse" originated in 19th-century horse racing as a way to describe a contender of whom bettors or spectators knew very little. The 1800s. A time when every third person you’d meet was probably still wrestling with the notion of gravity and 60% of your news came from a mustachioed huckster traveling through […]

You can lose your fantasy draft in the first round, but you can't win it. That requires diving outside the top 24 at an individual position and finding hidden gems like Jaxon Smith-Njigba a year ago. Finding the formula is actually quite simple. First, we want target share -- and the higher, the better. Smith-Njigba's […]

Week 1 is where college fantasy football gets uncomfortable fast. A month of camp reports gives way to actual depth charts, transfer-heavy offenses finally take the field, and some of the players nobody wanted to draft suddenly become usable because of one good matchup.

Don't even get me started on the conference bias. Nine SEC teams are ranked in the AP top 25. Five are in […]
