Last season, five receivers topped 160 targets, including Ja'Marr Chase (185), Amon-Ra St. Brown (172), Trey McBride (169), Puka Nacua (166), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (163), forming one of the most exclusive clubs. Assuming Malik Nabers was healthy in his 2024 season, which featured 170 targets, it would've gained him access to this club. So, which […]

Hey RotoBallers! Training camp is in full swing, and the Hall of Fame game is just around the corner, which means it's time to talk league-winners. The phrase "league-winners" has various meanings, as it could be striking gold on a breakout or finding a discounted veteran in the later rounds. Last season, we saw a […]

The narrative around drafts this season has been against drafting with the ZeroRB strategy. Some drafters might be fading the ZeroRB approach because running backs were profitable in the early rounds over the past two seasons. When looking at running back win rates last season, many of the running backs from the first three rounds […]

In years past, wide receiver was the lifeblood of building your fantasy football roster in the early rounds of drafts. All managers followed suit as offenses around the NFL were centered on the passing game, making it vitally important to have the right pieces in your starting lineups. Now, the shift in the league is […]

Even the players atop the consensus fantasy football rankings carry concerns, from durability issues to weak supporting casts. That's especially true once the draft reaches the middle rounds. The lower-risk stars have already been selected. It's then time to weigh upside against imperfections. In this series of articles, we'll weigh the pros and cons of […]

One trend that goes unnoticed when projecting wide receiver rankings is that when a quarterback starts tucking the ball and running more often, the ceiling for his top wideout takes a noticeable hit. It makes intuitive sense—more designed runs and scrambles mean fewer drop-backs, fewer pass attempts, and ultimately fewer opportunities for that WR1 to […]

Last week, I wrote about several running backs who could be ready for big seasons running behind improved offensive lines. A lot of folks read it, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of other analysts who are interested in breaking down offensive line stats and metrics, so I have decided to run it […]

Each year, we are subjected to multiple training camp battles around the NFL. These battles often center around quarterbacks, but battles at other positions can be just as impactful. For example, whoever starts along the offensive line can make or break a team's season. Too often, NFL teams are forced to roll out a plethora […]
