Surprising Winners From The NFL Draft - Running Backs

As an NFL player, it’s always inspiring to hear when your team has faith in you. After all, things like the draft are meant up to grab some young and rising talent, meaning veterans may get pushed down the depth chart or maybe off the team. This past draft, many RBs were drafted in order […]

Veteran Wide Receivers To Lose Targets for 2022 Fantasy Football

Each year, teams draft new talent in hopes of rejuvenating their offense. This year, plenty of WRs were taken early in the draft in hopes of making an impact for their respective teams right off the bat. While the opportunities for the rookies may be great, the addition of new talent to the skill units […]

NFL Free Agency Winners and Losers

This offseason has been one for the books. With surprising trades, megadeals, and a bunch of QBs on the move, things have been unpredictable. A lot of teams upgraded this offseason with the AFC West looking super loaded heading into 2022. Who else won (and lost) free agency? Catch up on all the notable NFL […]

Biggest Busts of 2021 - Quarterback

With another fantasy season behind us, it is time to evaluate what went right and what went wrong in terms of fantasy production by players. While managers always hope for the best from their players, sometimes things don’t go the way we hope as players deal with injuries, slumps, and now the COVID-list. 2021 saw […]

Biggest Running Back Busts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

Though the epic 2021 NFL season is now behind us, it doesn’t hurt to reflect on what happened this past campaign from a fantasy perspective. As usual, guys appeared out of nowhere to be fantasy studs and have elevated themselves heading into 2022 drafts. On the other end, some preseason darlings laid a dud and […]

Deonte Harris Musters 23 Yards Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris managed two receptions for 23 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. The WR returned from a three-game suspension only to contribute very little in a game where he was a top option in the passing game. Harris could still see value as a flex […]

Marquez Callaway Records 97 Yards In Week 17

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway recorded six receptions for 97 yards on 10 targets in Sunday's win over Carolina. With Tre'Quan Smith (chest) out for Sunday's game along with the New Orleans lacking playmakers overall, Callaway stepped up and delivered big as the top receiving option on the team. The 23-year-old now has […]

Alvin Kamara Gets 68 Receiving Yards In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara recorded 13 carries for 32 yards and five receptions for 68 yards and a score on six targets in Sunday's win over Carolina. Kamara hasn't been that effective in both the rushing and receiving game during most weeks, and this week he thrived in the receiving game. The […]

Taysom Hill Throws For 222 Yards Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill went 17-for-28 for 222 yards and one touchdown along with rushing 12 times for 45 yards in Sunday's win over Carolina. Hill was decent in both the rushing and passing game, something he hasn't been able to do much of this season. The QB brings solid dual-threat value to […]

Ian Thomas Paces Team With 33 Yards

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas posted three receptions for 33 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. The TE posted his best weekly total since all the way back in mid-October. Thomas still shouldn't be considered a fantasy option after this performance given he didn't have more than 10 yards in […]

Robby Anderson Musters 10 Yards Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson mustered two receptions for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. Anderson had shown recent flashes of success as he posted better yardage totals but Sunday was just a reflection of his 2021 season as he posted underwhelming numbers once again. Given his inconsistency and […]

D.J. Moore Manages 29 Yards Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore managed three receptions for 29 yards on eight targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints. The WR posted his worst total since mid-November but still continued his excellent streak of seeing at least eight targets in the last five games. Given his large role on the team, Moore is […]

Chuba Hubbard Rushes For 55 Yards In Week 17

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard rushed 17 times for 55 yards and a score along with getting three receptions for 13 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints. The rookie posted his best rushing total since Halloween but has mostly been underwhelming in recent weeks. Hubbard had less than 40 rushing […]

Sam Darnold Struggles Against Saints In Week 17

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold went 17-for-26 for 132 yards and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He also rushed twice for seven yards. The QB got the nod over fellow teammate Cam Newton but didn't provide much hope for being a potential 2022 starter. Darnold has a favorable matchup against Tampa in […]

Receivers On Bad Teams to Target in Trades

The fantasy season is well underway, with six weeks done and the middle stretch of the season soon coming. By now, many managers know what their team is made of and who is a consistent contributor.  At this time, many trades to enhance rosters may be going on and you could be one of those […]

Early-Season Fantasy Outliers to Forget?

We are now five weeks into the 2021 NFL campaign. Teams are starting to stand out while others look like they should be jockeying for draft positions--already. The 2021 season has been off to a rousing start and Week 1 feels so far back in the rearview mirror. Oftentimes, Week 1 is more of an […]

Tight End Rankings Analysis - Standard Scoring

Tight end is one of the most difficult positions to draft for in fantasy due to the lack of elite talent at the position. Once the top-five guys have been drafted, it becomes much trickier for managers to pick a potential TE1 just because of things like small roles, unproven NFL talent, etc. Luckily, there […]

Sony Michel to Rams - Fantasy Impact

The Los Angeles Rams struck a deal to acquire Patriots RB Sony Michel this past week, a move that made sense for both sides. On the Rams’ side, they lost starting RB Cam Akers to an Achilles injury, which will cause him to miss 2021. For the Pats, they have a stable of backs who […]

Second-Year Receivers Ready to Break Out

Even if an NFL player has a disappointing rookie campaign, there is always hope that the second campaign can be better. There are many reasons behind this, such as acclimation to the league, a potentially bigger role due to depth chart changes, etc.  Entering 2021, there are certainly a few second-year players who could enjoy […]

Adam Trautman - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Each fantasy season, there is a new crop of fantasy “sleepers” chosen who could burst out onto the scene as fantasy studs. Granted it’s hit or miss, it’s hard to predict exactly if a sleeper pick will be successful. Nevertheless, you can always try and make logical assumptions, which is what I’m here to do […]

Fool Me Once... Second-Year Tight Ends Set to Bust?

An NFL player entering his rookie year in the league generally has high expectations for himself. Unfortunately, those expectations may not be met for all players and some may fall flat in their first NFL campaign. A player entering his sophomore year will once again have high expectations and they may sometimes breakout, but other […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Ja'Marr Chase

The Cincinnati Bengals ushered in a new era of football last season with the addition of QB Joe Burrow. Now entering his second year, Burrow will be reunited with a former teammate from LSU-- WR Ja'Marr Chase-- in hopes of elevating this offense to a new level. The Bengals drafted Chase with the fifth overall […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - DeVonta Smith

The Philadelphia Eagles have had a problem with their WR unit the past couple of seasons. That problem has been simple: lack of talent. Well, this past draft, the team made a huge move by selecting Heisman-winning WR DeVonta Smith out of Alabama in the first round.  With a new starting QB in Jalen Hurts, […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Javonte Williams

Though the Denver Broncos did lose RB Philip Lindsay this offseason to the Houston Texans, it didn’t take long for them to replace him as they scooped up 21-year-old RB Javonte Williams out of North Carolina in the second round of this past draft.  For a playoff-hopeful team, the addition of Williams surely does help […]

Sophomore Slump - Breakout Rookies Who'll Bust in Year Two

Each year, rookies take the league by storm and post incredible numbers. Some explosive rookie campaigns are expected given the hype surrounding a player, but others are out of the blue. Nevertheless, sustaining that production heading into Year Two can fluctuate depending on many factors, such as whether the size of the role is the […]

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Terrace Marshall Jr.

The Carolina Panthers changed their QB situation this past offseason, bringing in former Jets signal-caller Sam Darnold to replace Teddy Bridgewater. In hopes of surrounding Darnold with a decent supporting cast, the Panthers drafted WR Terrace Marshall Jr. out of LSU in the second round of the 2021 draft. The 21-year-old Marshall will look to […]

Most Improved Offenses After the NFL Draft

Each year, NFL teams enter the draft with hopes that they can bolster their squad into a powerhouse. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. Nevertheless, there are certainly teams that improved their offenses through this past draft, adding a solid skill position player or even their potential QB of the future. Though a lot of […]

Veteran QBs to Worry About Post-Draft

The 2021 NFL Draft saw quite a few promising QBs being taken off the board. These QBs bring hope for their new teams and to the league as they can hopefully become franchise players soon enough. Nevertheless, with all the promise a new rookie QB can bring to a team, a veteran QB may see […]
