PPR Draft Targets - Undervalued Tight Ends

For fantasy football GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the format of the league we're going to be part of. The difference between Standard and PPR (Point-Per-Reception) scoring systems […]

Don’t Stop Believing - Odell Beckham Jr. as a Fantasy WR2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. exploded onto the scene as a rookie in the 2014 season as a member of the New York Giants. Injuries and inconsistent play since the 2017 campaign have led to some frustrated OBJ fantasy owners over the past few years. Beckham is coming off a torn ACL that […]

Boom or Bust WR Predictions: Aiyuk, Kupp, Golladay

Wide receiver is at least the second most important position in fantasy. In certain PPR formats, it can be as crucial as running back. One simple way to increase your chances of success is to focus on pass catchers working with reliable quarterbacks while crossing off those forced to dive for ducks or mutter at […]

Quarterback Sleepers and Draft Targets

Each year it seems like a new quarterback has a career season, and it's usually because they throw touchdowns at an alarming rate that year. These same quarterbacks are normally drafted aggressively the year following their breakout, and often times fantasy managers are left disappointed because they didn't match the output from the prior year. […]

Can Darrell Henderson Fill the RB Void in L.A.?

On Tuesday, news broke that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers would miss the 2021 season after tearing his Achilles. You never want to see a guy get hurt, but you especially never want to see a guy suffer this particular injury, especially a running back. The position doesn't have a great track record […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Minnesota Vikings Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff. […]

Cheap Best-Ball Stacks: QB/WR Duos to Draft Late

Best ball is a different beast than traditional season-long fantasy football leagues. No waivers or trades mean hitting the right draft picks from beginning to end is the sole determinant of success. This is quantified by win rates, or how often a player was rostered on league-winning teams. The results are often unexpected because it's […]

Deep-League Quarterback Sleepers

Some people climb stadium steps backward with weights strapped around their wrists and ankles. Others eat hot peppers by the jarful or build tiny ships inside bottles. The hardiest fantasy football degenerates test their mettle by playing in leagues so deep they must scrutinize the relative merits of, say, Andy Dalton and Drew Lock. They […]

Running Backs to Fade in PPR Leagues

For fantasy GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the language our leagues will speak to us in. The first step is to know if you're going to battle your foes […]

Tight End Values: PPR vs Standard Leagues

It feels impossible--even more with the current pandemic we're experiencing still ongoing worldwide--but the NFL offseason can be considered over in terms of high-impact moves. The first-year draft and free agency are long gone, most players have extended their deals or found new homes, and teams are ready to start moving the rock come the […]

Late-Round Quarterbacks Who Will Outperform Their ADP

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]

Late-Round Wide Receivers To Outperform ADP

Value. It is one of the essential ways to win a fantasy football championship. Maximizing late-round picks into productive players will be more important than ever in 2021 thanks to the COVID pandemic that is still currently gripping the world, and the fact that there will be one extra week of production for every player […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 New Orleans Saints Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff. […]

Late-Round QBs That Could Be League Winners

A lot of people take a laissez-faire approach to quarterbacks in fantasy. They'll wait until some predetermined round where they want to get their first QB and then they'll just take whoever is left then. And, I mean, hey -- that's fine. You could win a league that way. But if you manage to make […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well.

The Deepest Dive: TE Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

You may have already seen my deep-league draft targets at wide receiver and quarterback. We can't forget the most glamorous of all positions - the tight end! I define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take part. That means each draft round would consist of 16 picks and there would be […]

ADP Arbitrage - Quarterback Draft Bargains

Let's finish up this series with a look at the all-important quarterback position. When you're done, you should look back at running back, wide receiver, and tight end ADP comps as well. While ADP is very informative and can help you be informed about where you should start worrying about potentially missing out on a player, […]

The Deepest Dive: WR Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

After looking at quarterbacks previously, we continue our look at deep-league draft targets with the wide receiver position. I define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take part. That means each draft round would consist of 16 picks and there would be 240 (15 rounds multiplied by 16 teams) players […]

The Deepest Dive: RB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Following up on our earlier look at wide receiver sleepers and quarterback sleepers for deep leagues, it's time to look at running backs. Fantasy leagues can be as large as the commish wants them too, but for our purposes, we're going to define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take […]

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Early ADP Variations: ESPN Overvalued & Undervalued

The surest path to the prizes in fantasy football this year is landing one of the five elite quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, or Dak Prescott. They’ll provide a sizable week-to-week scoring advantage, often with their legs as well as with their arms that warrant the draft cost and then some. […]

ADP Arbitrage - Running Back Draft Bargains

Did your parents ever ask you, "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?" Well, that is how fantasy football mostly works when it comes to drafting your team yearly. There is something called ADP (Average Draft Position) that is nothing more than just an aggregated mark that lets […]

Early Summer ADP Risers at Tight End

Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player on your team. A high ADP (that is actually a low-numbered ADP) means that a […]

Early Summer ADP Risers at Running Back
