Around The NFL Pop Quiz: NFC East
We're officially in the last week of preseason. Cuts are done. There are very few "sleepers" that haven't been written about, or who you can get at an affordable price.

Mark Andrews - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We all know that finding a reliable tight end in fantasy football can be a nightmare. There are guys at the top like Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle, but after these top-tier tight ends, the position begins to become more of a crap-shoot. The debate then turns to what type of draft pick... Read More
Is Kalen Ballage Still Being Overlooked?
Everybody deserves a second chance. Well, maybe not everybody but in fantasy football, we can surely be more generous to those who have let us down in the past.

Boom or Bust - Three Tight End Predictions
The tight end position has become quite the quagmire in fantasy football over the past several years. It is often a position of haves and have-nots where the top-tier tight ends perform admirably, yet the middle to low-end players at the position are often inconsistent at best. Trying to project who will perform each week... Read More
Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
A lot has been said about what is and what is not a sleeper. And in most cases, looking at sleeper lists, one gets truly surprised to find some great names thrown in them. This season, to me, there are not many players that can be considered capital-S Sleepers like Mike Davis can be. Be it because... Read More
Why Zero RB Will Work In 2019
James Conner, Phillip Lindsay, Damien Williams, Gus Edwards, Austin Ekeler. In the final month of the 2018 fantasy season, these five running backs were regularly ranking amongst the top-20 at the position, often as high as top-10 or top-five. One thing they all had in common: None of them even sniffed the top 100 preseason rankings... Read More
Late-Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP
No matter what the masses say about the running game, it will always be an attractive part of football.

Some times the runs can end at the line of scrimmage, but if the rusher... Read More

Best Late-Round Tight End Picks If You're Punting the Position
Perhaps more than any other time in recent history, punting the tight end position in the draft seems like an optimal strategy. While it's never good to lock yourself into a strategy before your draft even starts, the obscene amount of buried treasure waiting to be scooped up in the later rounds makes the idea... Read More
Houston Texans Revamp Roster - Fantasy Impact
No team was busier on Saturday than the Houston Texans, who swung four trades on the day that rosters had to be cut down to 53. Houston opened the day with the long-awaited Jadeveon Clowney trade, shipping the skilled pass rusher to Seattle for a pick and some less impactful linebackers. Then, they traded for... Read More
Darren Waller (TE, OAK) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

When building a fantasy football team, one of the most important things to consider is a players opportunity.

Preseason Depth Chart Risers and Fallers
Every year, we see different players move up and down in the depth charts before the season starts. Even during the season, we see players rise and fall on the depth chart. This never fails during the pre-season due to trades, injuries, rookies, and other factors. This year has been no different. While depth charts... Read More
Dominick Petrillo's 2019 Blind Dart Throws
I have never been a huge fan of spicy food. So, instead of spicy takes, I am going to compare my bold predictions to throwing blindly at a dartboard and hoping for a few bullseyes. It seems like an appropriate analogy anyway. Anyone standing nearby better watch out! Don’t get me wrong, these will still... Read More

Denver Receivers Are Draft Steals with Joe Flacco at the Helm
Every year, there's at least one offense in fantasy football that drafters avoid like the plague. Last year it was the much-maligned Jets, with rookie QB Sam Darnold.

The 2018 Pittsburgh Steelers... Read More
Around the League Pop Quiz: NFC South
I've been a little jaded writing some of these articles, not for any reason other than wondering if the creeping feeling of "everyone is listening to/writing all of the same advice" was starting to creep in a little heavier. I had many of the same sleepers/avoids as Matthew Berry, I've been tending to agree with... Read More

Don't Stop Believing in Jordan Reed
Trying to find value is important in any fantasy draft, but there are some positions where it is more important than others. Tight end is one of those positions where finding a sleeper can be the biggest differentiator.
