The Deepest Dive: WR Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

After looking at quarterbacks previously, we continue our look at deep-league draft target with the wide receiver position. I define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take part.

Tight Ends to Prioritize or Fade in Standard vs. PPR 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.

Draft Sleepers That Could Be League Winners

Prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, most analysts and fantasy football fans were dying to see if the Kansas City Chiefs would take a running back. In a class with plenty of talent and depth, I wasn't expecting Clyde Edwards-Helaire to go as high as he did. Sure enough, the Chiefs and Andy Reid saw […]

Bull Rush - Wide Receivers With Target Share Increases

What is a wide receiver without a target? A warm body on a gridiron, that's it.
