Ellis Johnson

206 articles

My name is Ellis Bryn Johnson and I am a Canadian fantasy football writer. I have been writing published fantasy articles for six years, including the RotoBaller Thursday Night previews, The Pie Shop, and weekly player prop articles. In Week 2 of the 2024 season, I was #1 most accurate ranker overall, as well as #1 for both quarterbacks and wide receivers. In my second life, I have a Kinesiology degree from the University of British Columbia Graduate, and a Master's of Science from the University of Calgary. I wrote my thesis on the intersection of masculinity and inclusion within Canadian sport. I aim to apply this perspective to deliver entertaining and accurate football analysis as I grow as a writer. Also, I'm a Bengals fan. #WhoDeyNation Twitter @YoitsEllis_FF and Instagram @FiresideFantasy_FFL

Joshua Palmer - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - AFC West

The AFC West may be one of the most intriguing divisions in football. For the second year in a row, this division has welcomed back a head-coaching icon. Last year, Sean Payton came out of retirement to coach the Broncos, and now Jim Harbaugh returns to the league after winning a national championship with Michigan […]


Tank Dell - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - AFC South

Arguably the most exciting division in football is the AFC South. That seems wild to say, as the previous decade has been relatively underwhelming. Not only does this division have budding superstar C.J. Stroud leading the way, but it also has Trevor Lawrence, Anthony Richardson, and gunslinging Will Levis. Going into this season, I think […]


Dalton Kincaid - Fantasy Football, Tight End, Draft, Rankings, DFS

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - AFC East

The AFC East is loaded with question marks this season. Thankfully, most of the questions are “Is this team a Super Bowl contender?” If everything goes right, three teams could answer this question with a “yes” (sorry Patriots fans). I’m selecting a fantasy breakout player from each NFL team in this series of articles. I […]


Jaxon Smith-Njigba Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - NFC West

The NFC West is loaded with potent offenses and a variety of defensive abilities. From the reigning NFC champs to the new home of Marvin Harrison Jr., it’s easy to get excited about this division. Although this division has some outstanding NFL talent, it’s predominantly made up of players who have already broken out. If […]


Bijan Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - NFC South

If there was a breakout division, it might be this one. After being the laughingstock of the league the last couple of years, three of these four teams have had busy offseasons trying to set their club up for success. The Falcons have three young stars primed to break out, the Panthers loaded up with […]


Jameson Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates in 2024 - NFC North

The NFC North has suddenly become the talk of the NFC over the last year. Between the Lions and Packers being Super Bowl contenders and the Bears seemingly nailing their rebuild, the Vikings are surprisingly left in the dust. With two rookie QBs leading (or eventually leading) the Bears and Vikings, Jared Goff becomes the […]


Rico Dowdle - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

4 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates: NFC East Edition

Welcome back to the series where we identify a potential breakout player for each team. In this article, we are analyzing the NFC East. This division has two Super Bowl-contending juggernauts, one team trying to stay relevant, and a team that just had a huge draft to kick off its rebuild. As a result, we […]


Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: NFC West

The last division of this series is a great one. It's possible that all four of these teams could have top-10 offenses this season. From young fantasy stars like Puka Nacua and Marvin Harrison Jr. to fantasy legends like Christian McCaffrey and Cooper Kupp, this division has it all. The Rams were one of the […]


Bijan Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: NFC South

It’s time to break down the top dynasty players in the NFC South. In this series, I am breaking down the teams by division and selecting who I believe is the most valuable dynasty fantasy player on each roster. It seems like forever since Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, and Drew Brees were keeping this division […]


CeeDee Lamb - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: NFC East

Welcome back to the top dynasty players on each team. Today, we are breaking down the NFC East. This division is loaded with young superstars and fantasy stalwarts. I am dividing the teams by division in this series of articles and order them based on last season’s rankings. Ultimately, I’ll identify these players and break […]


Free Agency Check - Quarterback ADP Risers and Fallers

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: NFC North

With NFL camps underway, it feels like the season is right around the corner. Personally, I've been eating up the highlights out of camp waiting for the season to start. Although it’s important to keep a level head, watching rookies and breakout candidates making spectacular uncontested catches is always fun. We have a lot of […]


Patrick Mahomes - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: AFC West

We are less than two months away from the NFL kickoff. This season there are a lot of exciting fantasy rookies joining the dynasty scene. It's also the first season where some head-coaching stalwarts won't be calling the shots. It might be odd not to see Bill Belichick or Pete Carroll on the sidelines, and yet […]

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: AFC East

Welcome back to the top dynasty players on each NFL team. In this series of articles, I’ll divide the teams by division and break down the situation that may impact these players in the future.  Today we break down the AFC East. This division is loaded with three QBs begging to answer all the questions […]


Anthony Richardson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: AFC South

Finally, the NFL kickoff is appearing on the horizon. We are getting the first look at veteran players in new situations as well as the rookies in training camp. We are also seeing some of the veterans returning from injury. Although not all highlights are football-related, it's always fun to see Anthony Richardson healthy enough […]


Ja'Marr Chase - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS and Betting Picks

Top Fantasy Football Dynasty Players For Each Team: AFC North

We are less than 75 days until the NFL kickoff, and already the highlights out of camp are getting me excited. Although it’s important to keep a level head, watching rookies and breakout candidates making spectacular uncontested catches is always fun. We have a lot of exciting fantasy rookies joining the mix this season, along […]

Can These Backup QB’s Support Two WRs? Fantasy Outlooks for Tee Higgins, Jordan Addison, George Pickens

This year has been a mess at the QB position. It seems like a record amount of starting QBs have gone down, severely limiting the fantasy options that rely on their production.  With Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, and Daniel Jones done for the season, the additional injuries of Derek Carr, Kenny Pickett, and […]
