Rookie Tight Ends in the Best Fantasy Situations

2016 was a bad year for tight ends, and even worse for rookie tight ends. Thanks to a lackluster crop that had no tight ends worthy of a first-round pick, nobody at the position had 500 receiving yards on the season, and only San Diego’s Hunter Henry posted anything fantasy-wise as he hauled in eight […]

Rookie Running Backs in the Best Fantasy Situations

With the 2017 NFL Draft in the books, we can finally speculate on the rookies in the context of their landing spots.

NFL Draft - Ideal Landing Spots for Fantasy Football

One of the most fun weekends of the year for the NFL season is the weekend of the NFL draft. Hope springs eternal for 32 teams.

NFL Combine 2017 Observations

The NFL Combine, much like the NFL Draft, draws mixed reactions from casual fans. Some see it as a way to learn more about the next generation of players, while others consider it a glorified meat market and made-for-TV event that doesn't reliably predict future success. If you play in a dynasty or rookie fantasy […]

Three Rookie Wide Receivers Who Will Breakout in 2016

The first round of the 2016 NFL Draft saw four receivers taken, but I'm not discussing any of them in this space.

Three Late Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP

For most of our fantasy-playing lives, running backs have dominated the first round in drafts.

Generally, dynasty leagues allow as many keepers as each team pleases, while having a draft that is filled with rookies and free agents.

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - C.J. Prosise

Bias. It's a prejudice best left out of fantasy sports, yet I couldn't help but feel it when the Seattle Seahawks drafted C.J. Prosise. The biggest reason?
