Spotting Horrific Running Back-Offensive Line Pairings

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 looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that correlates […]

Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Reconsidering in 2020

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. No matter how experienced fantasy players are, those two numbers are thought of as the ultimate all-encompassing representations of every football player's value. Knowing what he […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2 (UFC Fight Night)

If you know something about UFC's head honcho, Dana White, it is that he's a stubborn man. Back when COVID-19 hit for the first time, he was determined to keep the promotion going, even claiming that he had secured an island to hold some cards. It didn't end up happening, but at least White and […]

Target Hogs to Trust in 2020 Fantasy Football

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring […]

Players Poised To Start Strong With Soft Early Schedules

It's been more than two months since the NFL released the full 17-week schedules for the 2020 season. We have no idea if we will get to actually watch any football during the upcoming fall and winter, but here's to hoping. If we make it there, though, the strength of schedule will always make a […]

What Are the Chances of Back-To-Back Top-12 Finishes? (Part Two)

In this two-part series, I'm taking a look at fantasy data (PPR format) from 2000 to 2019 in order to see how often it is for football players to finish two consecutive seasons inside the top tiers of fantasy leagues, and if they're actually worth paying the high prices they have attached to them. Part […]

Cheap and Forgotten Players With Great Upside

As fantasy GMs, there are some things we'll never learn. One of them: forgiveness. Be it a bad stretch of games, a down season, an injury-riddled year, or even just a dropped catch on a would-have-been big play, we often put names on our never-again draft list. That happens every year in fantasy football. You […]

Rookies Expected to Struggle Early in 2020

If you know how DFS football works, then you know every week you have the chance to pick the best-looking players for the scheduled slate of games. For those playing season-long leagues, that's not an option. Once you draft your team you must stick to your decisions and only make minimal tweaks through the waiver […]

Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the mid-rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge upside. […]

PPR Draft Targets - Undervalued Running Backs

For fantasy football GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war-rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the format of the league we're going to be part of.

Overvalued RB Handcuffs Getting Too Expensive

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020

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

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]

Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers

What Are the Chances of Back-To-Back Top-12 Finishes? (Part One)

We're entering the second half of 2020 and the hottest part of the summer, which means we're starting to get our feet wet in the draft-season waters. One of the most frequents trends in every league around the fantasy world, no matter what, is to go and draft last season's studs hoping for a repeat […]

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't have an overly great value at only […]

Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

I don't know how many times I've written this during the past few weeks, but here we go again: no matter how good a pass-catcher is, if he's not targeted often he will have no way to rack up fantasy points. With opportunities come chances to score points. Without them, catches are literally out of […]
