Early 2020 Breakout Candidates: Quarterback

It’s never too early to start planning your strategy for success in fantasy football. Whatever drives you to win, whether it’s cash, pride, bragging rights, or simply not having to do the league loser punishment, it’s justified if you are making every effort to try and take the league. The thing that keeps fantasy football […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies at Quarterback

No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies as we all are. Why paying an extra-price for something that ultimately will yield the same results as something similarly good going on a steep discount? That question […]

James White Proves the Value of Low-Volume, Highly-Productive Backs

I was reviewing the 2019 fantasy season results yesterday when I stumbled upon something that caught my attention. I filtered all of the players to log a game this past year by position, looked at running backs, and discovered that James White was the only RB inside the top-25 scorers at the position to have […]

You've Heard About Volatility, It's Time to Learn About It

High-variance, volatile football players. The risky bets. We all know who those players are and, most of all, we all know about what they can do--for the good and for the bad. When was the last time you trusted someone like Will Fuller or Amari Cooper to go off the charts and they let you down? You […]

Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Quarterback

The quarterback position in fantasy football is always one that either gets seriously overvalued, or seriously underrated. We all saw just how much of a difference maker someone like Lamar Jackson could be this year, or Patrick Mahomes last year. This year, we saw Mahomes get drafted extremely early, and while he was still good, […]

Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Wide Receiver

The wide receiver position was probably the most exciting position of the 2019 fantasy football seasons, with so many different breakouts and busts. We saw stud wide receivers like Odell Beckham and JuJu Smith-Schuster become extremely hard to trust and frustrating to own. We also saw a handful of rookie wide receivers out-perform their pre-season […]

Best Waiver Wire Pickups from 2019

Each and every year we see an incredible number of players step foot on the NFL gridiron.

Biggest Surprises of 2019: Running Back

The 2019 NFL season was an interesting year for the running back position. Christian McCaffrey was the overall RB1, but some of the other top players fell below expectations. That led to some interesting final results when the final season standings came around. And while some of those -- Dalvin Cook as the RB3, Leonard […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2019: Quarterback

2019 was a very interesting season of fantasy football, to say the least. It's safe to say no one was banking on the season that we saw from Lamar Jackson but he wasn't the only one to stand out. At the quarterback position, we saw some really exciting players start to shine and some older […]

Tight End ADP Winners and Losers: 2019 Season Review

I've always believed that it is easier to lose a fantasy championship than to win it on draft day. It makes sense, as sure-fire players are expected to reward their owners with a lower risk-factor than the other way around and thus they're always drafter earlier. If they put up a season-long dud, though, you'll […]

Biggest Surprises of 2019: Tight End

The 2019 NFL season was anything but predictable. I mean, the Tennessee Titans made the AFC title game! Andrew Luck retired right before the season! [Insert one of many, many other things here, because all lists need three items but I couldn't decide between all the possible third options.] One position where things at the […]

2020 Early Quarterback Sleepers and Draft Targets

Heading into 2020, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, and Deshaun Watson will surely be the most-coveted quarterbacks in fantasy football drafts. Similar to Patrick Mahomes in 2018, Lamar Jackson took the NFL by storm in his first year as a full-time starter and set an NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Personally, […]

Strategies that Worked (or Not) in 2019 Fantasy Football

Everyone's an expert before the season begins. Our sleepers are all going to pan out, we know who to avoid, and we'll easily compensate for any bad luck through trades or waivers during the year.

The Tape Tells All - Marshawn Lynch Fantasy Outlook

Welcome to a postseason edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film.

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 17 Lineups
