How Much Does Shadow Coverage Impact Wide Receivers?

If you only play redraft fantasy football, you know that no matter what you have to play your studs week in and week out. That is non-negotiable, and your lineup decisions mostly come down to who to play at lower-level spots such as WR3 or FLEX. If you play DFS contests, though, you know that […]

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 was relatively successful with seven correctly predicted top-10 defenses after the Los Angeles Rams strong effort on Monday night.

There are quite a few "chalk" stacks I felt I needed to exclude from my Week 8 GPP DFS stack consideration set. Like most weeks, Kansas City is a chalky stack, but this week against the Jets they are nearly too easy. The addition of Carlos Dunlap will help Seattle, but that secondary has been […]
