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

Week 1 Touchdowns Scored Predictions - The Fantasy Football Pie Shop (2023)

Who doesn’t love pies? Meat pie, shepherd’s pie, apple pie, banana cream pie — it’s hard to find a pie that’s not delicious. Much like a pecan pie, you’re probably thinking I’m nuts. But before you say I’m out to lunch, let me tell you how a Pie Shop is very relevant to Fantasy Football. […]


Nick Folk (K, TEN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

Nick Folk has a reputation as a reliable kicker and he now has a new home as the Pats dealt him to Tennessee so that they could give the kicking job to Chad Ryland. Folk should take over placekicking duties for the Titans and goes from one mediocre offense to another potentially middling group. An […]

Must-Haves For PPR: Fantasy Football Draft Targets Include Darren Waller, Amon-Ra St. Brown, James Conner, more

Full-point PPR is a unique beast. Unlike its more popular younger brother, Half-PPR, receptions can truly make or break a player's fantasy football impact. I believe one of the most overlooked aspects of PPR is finding volume on bad teams. These are unlikely to be the most popular names, but they are the ones that […]


Greg Joseph (K, MIN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

Kickers in Minessota has a very dark history. I’m convinced half the people who don’t want kickers in fantasy are Vikings fans. However, Greg Joseph is starting to rewrite this narrative. #Vikings special teams in the first half. - Greg Joseph: 3/3 FGA - Aaron Dykes: 2 KR, 64 yards - Tay Gowan fumble recovery […]

Fantasy Football Kickers - 2023 Draft Targets and Sleepers Include Nick Folk, Jason Meyers, Greg Joseph, more

The NFL season is just about to kick off, and we need to talk about kickers. I’m firmly in the camp that for redraft leagues, kickers should be part of fantasy football. However, if you want to nerf their scoring, I have no issues. Either way, most leagues have kickers scoring at full force. In […]


Targets and Avoids: Second-Contract Running Backs for Fantasy Football Drafts

Second-contract running backs have become some of the scariest players on the roster. It’s no secret that production has historically decreased once their second deal is signed. However, is the drop-off really that scary? Devonta Freeman, Todd Gurley, and David Johnson highlight the busts of this group. Since these big names fell off, there have […]

Round-By-Round Fantasy Football Draft Targets - Ellis’ Essential Picks and Sleepers

Fantasy football draft season is heating up as we enter the final two months of the offseason. Whether you're participating in best ball drafts or starting a redraft league, the objective is to win a championship. Over the past few months, active engagement in best ball drafts on Underdog has led to the discovery of […]

Must-Have NFL Player Prop Bets: Top Season-Long Betting Props for 2023

Season-long player props have slowly become my favorite market for betting. It’s the perfect mix of fantasy analysis and year-long investment. Whether you are looking to double-down on “your guys”, or fade the players you're skeptical about, both are equally fun. Additionally, I find over an entire season, it is easier to predict as the […]


Nick Chubb - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Running Back Rankings #1-15 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Breece Hall, Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor, more

Running backs have been the biggest storyline this offseason, especially with the contract issues of Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs. It seems the days of RBs receiving big-money, long-term NFL deals are over, which has surprisingly been reflected in the fantasy world as well. Between 2016 and 2018, David Johnson and Todd Gurley II (twice) […]


Dameon Pierce - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Running Back Rankings #16-30 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Dalvin Cook, Rachaad White, J.K. Dobbins, Kenneth Walker, more

Who would you start, bench, and cut out of this list: Rachaad White, Dameon Pierce, and Javonte Williams? There are so many factors around all of those backs, that for me, that's a really tough question. Obviously, you will see my response in this article, but feel free to reach out on Twitter with your […]


James Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Running Back Rankings #31-50 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Zach Charbonnet, Kendre Miller, Jaylen Warren, more

Who would you start, bench, and cut from this list: James Cook, Khalil Herbert, and Zach Charbonnet? It's gross, but these are the decisions that will need to be made on draft day. Obviously, you will see my response in this article, but feel free to reach out on Twitter with your response. We have […]


Diontae Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Wide Receiver Rankings #16-30 for Fantasy Football Drafts

Who would you start, sit, and cut from this list: Diontae Johnson, Chris Godwin, and Terry McLaurin? You'll see my answers in this article as we're back with the next portion of my wide receiver rankings. This is the third article of five that outline my top 50 wide receivers for the 2023 season. It's […]


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

Wide Receiver Rankings #1-15 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Tee Higgins, D.K. Metcalf, Jaylen Waddle, Cooper Kupp, more

It's the final countdown. Wide receivers have taken the fantasy football community by storm. This is the first season since 2016 that the first player drafted is not a running back. As you’re probably aware, that player is Justin Jefferson. If that was your guess, I’m glad you are checking out my work because (spoiler […]

Tight End Rankings #1-10 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Evan Engram, Dallas Goedert, Darren Waller, Kyle Pitts, more

It’s official, the 2023 pre-season has begun! As the 2023 season looms, we welcome the final group of fantasy football fans back into the mix.

Quarterback Rankings #13-25 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Kenny Pickett, Bryce Young, Derek Carr, Jared Goff, more

You have a choice to start, bench, and cut the following quarterbacks: Jared Goff, Russell Wilson, and Geno Smith. If you view those names like I do, that’s not a fun question to answer. As a result, I decided to release a rankings article that outlines my response. Earlier this week, I shared my top […]


Drake London - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Wide Receiver Rankings #31-40 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Michael Pittman, Jahan Dotson, Drake London, more

We're back with the next portion of my wide receiver rankings. This is the second article of five that outline my top 50 wide receivers for the 2023 season. It's finally draft season, and I appreciate all of you for checking out my work. If you are a fan of receivers, it’s a great time […]

Quarterback Rankings #1-12 for Fantasy Football Drafts - Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, more

There are only five more Sundays without football. It seems like the draft is barely in the rearview, and already the regular season is rapidly approaching. Soon we will find out if Russell Wilson or the Cleveland quarterback is worth their massive contracts, or if it has become a young man’s game with the emergence […]


Trey Lance - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Trey Lance - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

The roller coaster that Trey Lance has put the fantasy community on is less fun than it looked. This is one of those roller coasters that has brought us all the way to the top and has the community dangling before it drops. Although some people love the anticipatory delay before the drop, others can’t […]


Travis Kelce - Fantasy Football Tight Ends You Must Have in 2024

Super Bowl LVII Matchups - Chiefs vs. Eagles Betting Picks Including Jerick McKinnon, Devonta Smith, Kenneth Gainwell

For the first time since 2015 with New England and Seattle, we have two teams making the Super Bowl who have each won it over the last six years. That’s pretty impressive, especially considering that one of these teams in particular has gone through a complete facelift since their last appearance. As for the Chiefs, […]

49ers vs. Eagles Betting Picks and Props: NFC Championship Preview

And then there were four. All four of these teams have been atop the league all season. It all starts with the 49ers vs. Eagles kicking off Conference Championship weekend on Sunday.  In the first game this weekend, we have two teams that haven't wavered all season. Led by the breakouts of Brock Purdy and […]

Bengals vs. Chiefs Betting Picks and Props: AFC Championship Preview

Joe Burrow has been everywhere these last few days. From his icy 360 warm-up passes to his Joe Cool responses in interviews, he has taken the league by storm. To be honest, as a Bengals fan, I am absolutely loving it. However, I am sure Steelers and Chiefs fans everywhere are tired of hearing his […]

NFL Divisional Round: Sunday Betting Preview

The final NFL Sundays of the season are counting down; however, the stakes are rapidly increasing. I’m struggling to find the words to describe my excitement for these two Divisional Round games today (not the best issue to have for a writer). Anyway, these two games hold an abundance of storylines each. Not only did […]


NFL Divisional Round: Saturday Betting Preview

It’s been an electric NFL playoffs so far. In fact, this is the first playoffs in a long time where we do not have a quarterback older than 30 making the Divisional Round. The future of the NFL is bright and it all starts at the QB position. This Saturday, we get to see three […]

NFL Wild Card Weekend: Monday Betting Preview

It’s been an excellent Wild Card Weekend. We have seen two seventh-round QBs show up, with one absolutely putting on a clinic against the Seahawks. Seriously, are the 49ers the Super Bowl favorite? They have looked unstoppable. Anyways, I digress, this weekend we also saw three games come down to the final drive of the […]

NFL Wild Card Weekend: Sunday Betting Preview

We’re back with round two of this Wild Card Weekend bet preview. We have three games this Sunday, all of which were decided by three points or fewer at one point in time this season. With two divisional games and one game between two of the least trusted NFC teams, it will definitely be an […]

NFL Wild Card Weekend: Saturday Betting Preview

The NFL regular season is officially over and the playoffs are set! This year, all of the Wild Card matchups are repeats from the regular season. As a result, we already have previews of how the matchups have gone. However, a lot can change in a year. Just ask the Cowboys as they face a […]

Boom and Bust: Week 18 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds, Including: J.K. Dobbins, Tyreek Hill, Aaron Jones, George Kittle, Evan Engram

I first and foremost want to wish Damar Hamlin the best, and I hope he has a full recovery. The young man (who is the same age as most of us), was devastatingly hurt doing what he loved and performing at the sport’s highest level. This is a game that we all love, and without […]
