Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team in our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limiting the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense rather […]

Stud Wide Receivers You Should Worry About in 2020

The words sleeper and busts get thrown around by the fantasy community more than anything. You will often hear though that sleepers do not exist anymore. Well, there is no one at all arguing that there are no busts anymore. There are plenty of busts each and every season. And drafting a player that busts […]

What Are the Chances of Back-To-Back Top-12 Finishes? (Part One)

We're entering the second half of 2020 and the hottest part of the summer, which means we're starting to get our feet wet in the draft-season waters. One of the most frequents trends in every league around the fantasy world, no matter what, is to go and draft last season's studs hoping for a repeat […]

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't have an overly great value at only […]

Five Questions About the 2020 NFL Season You Want Answered

Back in 2001, Denzel Washington treated us to one of the most legendary acting performances of all time with his portrayal of Alonzo Harris in Training Day. Among his countless memorable moments in that masterpiece of a crime drama are the times he repeatedly reminds bright-eyed rookie Jake Hoyt, "It's not what you know. It's what […]

Engel's Angles: Favorite Fantasy Draft Targets by Round

You will never hear me say I was “sniped” on a fantasy football draft pick. I have several players queued up in every round and just take the top one remaining when it is my turn. Of course, though, there are players I prefer in each round if I can get them. These are my […]

CeeDee Lamb Will End 2020 as the Cowboys' WR1

While the Cowboys may not have expected CeeDee Lamb, the talented Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver, to fall to them at 18th overall in the 2020 Draft, they made the correct choice in selecting him rather than reaching for a position of need like a cornerback. Lamb's fall in the draft from a potential top-10 selection […]

Stud Running Backs You Should Worry About in 2020

The 2020 fantasy football season is going to be unlike any other. With 2020 being such a volatile year and knowing the risks of playing fantasy in a year where any player could be shut down for weeks if they test positive for COVID, I am looking to take as few risks as possible early […]

Sophomore Slump: Breakout Rookies Who Could Bust in 2020

This past NFL season, we saw a number of breakout rookies like Terry McLaurin, Josh Jacobs, and Kyler Murray. While many of these players will maintain or exceed their fantasy production from year one, there are some others whose production will become stagnant or even take a step back. Second-year players can have a wide […]

Brycen Hopkins - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Los Angeles Rams will field a retooled offense sans Todd Gurley II and Brandin Cooks in 2020. Nevertheless, they padded the unit by drafting RB Cam Akers, WR Van Jefferson, and TE Brycen Hopkins in hopes of adding young, fresh members who can be impactful sooner or later. Hopkins will serve as depth on […]

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Backfield Committees to Avoid in 2020?

In fantasy football, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his fantasy outcome--will drop without question. The […]

For those of you in fantasy football IDP leagues (Individual Defensive Player), it can be hard to find content that helps you decide when you should draft defenders in your drafts, and when you should expect others to select them. To help you through this process, we are going to conduct a one-man mock with IDP players […]

Is Hopkins' Fantasy Potential Nuk'd in Arizona?

Wide receivers changing teams is often a red flag for fantasy owners. Learning a new offensive scheme while simultaneously attempting to mesh with a new quarterback can lead to unpredictable hiccups when projecting players in unfamiliar situations. In fact, since 2015, no player other than Brandin Cooks has changed teams and still finished as a […]

One-Man Backfields to Chase in 2020

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his […]

Sophomore RBs Set to Bust Again in 2020

One of the more difficult things to do in fantasy football is to predict player fluctuation every year. For every player who you can depend on each season (like Ezekiel Elliott), there is another that is extremely productive seemingly out of nowhere (DeVante Parker). The ability to avoid potential landmines is almost more important than […]

Old Faces, New Places: Free Agent Risers

There is no way to describe the average NFL front office. Each franchise has its own set of rules, follows different parameters when evaluating players, and builds its roster in a very particular way. Even with a clear mindset, an organization's principles might be tweaked in order to accommodate players into the salary cap, for […]

Justin Jefferson - Fantasy Football Rookie Profile

For the past three seasons, the Minnesota Vikings had one of the better starting WR duos in the league when their top two targets were on the field together. Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen presented major challenges for opposing secondaries. But during the 2019 season, Diggs openly expressed unhappiness with his role in the offense, […]
