Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Reconsidering in 2021

When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season.

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 265: Lewis vs. Gane (Premium Content)

Second UFC numbered event in the past 30 days? Can't complain. It is true that this one won't feature any "real" belt, yes, with just an interim champ about to get named. BUT. We come off a UFC 264 in which neither Poirier nor McGregor were actual contenders nor fought for the gold, so there's […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2021

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limit the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense […]

Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairs to Target

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

RB Committees Not to Avoid in 2021

Nobody likes a running back committee. Until you have to do so just out of pure logic. If we're offered the chance of drafting a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019, we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends up being. Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback

Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level?

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~165 ANALYSIS: Tua's ADP of 103 has him getting off draft boards as the QB18... while he has a QB12 projection (again, via PFF).
