Late-Round Lottery Tickets to Target in Fantasy Drafts

My dreams of playing in a mega-high stakes (jelly beans, of course) fantasy league were crushed when I didn't win the Powerball jackpot. My guess is you aren't that one lucky soul who won either so here you are slumming it with the rest of us. That's ok though, there's always the fantasy lottery. Besides, […]

What it Takes to Succeed (or Fail) at QB, Part 3 - Success Standards

Quarterback is the most important position in football, and as the league turns more towards a dominant passing attack, the QB has risen up the list of priorities of fantasy managers as well.

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

From a fantasy football aspect, the name Kenny Golladay might not mean much as you wade through which wide receivers will help catapult your team into the playoffs.

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals were all over the place in terms of fantasy value last season. Carson Palmer disappointed, David Johnson dominated, and Larry Fitzgerald remained Larry Fitzgerald. Not much has changed personnel wise for the Cardinals, but these guys are all being drafted in different spots than they were a year ago. This team still […]

Champ or Chump: Nick Delmonico & Lucas Giolito

It's easy to stop paying attention to the weaker teams this time of year, as the small portion of media coverage baseball gets with football starting up is devoted exclusively to the pennant races.

Overvalued PPR Wide Receivers and Who To Draft Instead

When it comes to PPR formats, wide receivers are king. 2017 presents a unique opportunity for early wide receiver drafters as running backs are being scooped up at a record pace. Despite running backs' perceived dominance in 2016, wide receivers should once again assume their role on the top of the mountain. Still, even the […]

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/24/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

Thursday's slate is chalk full of good pitching, including the elite Chris Sale but also including several other interesting options such as Jake Arrieta, Stephen Strasburg, Dallas Keuchel, and Carlos Martinez. This stands in contrast to several game totals projected for over nine runs, many of which are in the early slate. Thus, the dichotomy […]

Kirk Cousins Still Underrated? I Like That

Heading into the 2016 fantasy season, there was a general reluctance within the fantasy community to treat Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins as a fixture inside the top 10 ranks among signal callers. Through his first six games in 2015, he had thrown just six TD passes to go with eight interceptions, including four multi-turnover […]

Deshaun Watson (QB, HOU) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Chicago’s Mitchell Trubisky and Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes may have been drafted higher in the first round this past April, but Houston’s Deshaun Watson might become the biggest fantasy sleeper and the most productive quarterback out of the rookie trio by the time the 2017 season concludes. The last time most football fans saw Watson […]

Late-Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Drafting running backs early in 2017 seems to be the increasingly common strategy. According to Fantasy Football Calculator, 17 running backs are being drafted in the first three rounds in PPR leagues. The prevailing thought seems to be if you miss out on a running back in the early rounds you have no good options […]
