Could Tavon Austin Be Zeke's Kryptonite in PPR?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott could be the top overall player in fantasy football in 2018. In fact, I had this notion throughout the offseason that he would be utilized more in the passing game and parlay his league-leading rushing yard-per-game average into an overall RB1 finish. But I'm taking it back. Dez Bryant […]

Stop that Hype Train! DeVante Parker

Again with this guy? Really? You should all be reading this in the same exasperated tone I am writing in. Devante Parker is a superb athletic specimen. No one can take that away from him.

Tight End Standard Rankings - Tiers and Analysis

Tight end is always a difficult position to draft. The elite players go early but you have to be willing to sacrifice other positions to lock them down. Beyond the top tier, the position becomes highly inconsistent week-to-week which makes it particularly difficult to draft them. You must balance the upside of pure red zone […]

WR Stat Sleepers - Slot Performance

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question the best way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of wide receivers, where how they are lining up on the field has a direct correlation with production.

Offenses To Trust and Which Will Bust for 2018 Fantasy Football

It perhaps goes without saying that fantasy owners should look to draft players on high-powered offenses, as they usually offer a bevy of startable assets and have a higher chance for scoring opportunities than most teams. Although stud players can often rise above their circumstances, projecting which teams will prosper on the offensive side of […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work in 2018

Take yourself back to the 2015 draft season. We had just come off the year of the receiver, highlighted by breakout rookie seasons from Odell Beckham Jr. and Mike Evans, and career years from Emmanuel Sanders and Golden Tate. In 2014, 23 players had 1,000 or more receiving yards and 10 had more than 1,300. […]

Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage

There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, what does this really mean?

Sam Bradford - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

There’s this Discover commercial where a lady calls their customer service department to inquire about these new social security alerts and ends up speaking to herself. The gist is that you’ll receive as good of service from their customer service representatives as you’d give to yourself. Not a bad marketing campaign, in theory, until you […]

Jake Butt - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt.

Stop that Hype Train! Marlon Mack

Often, fantasy football sleepers stop being sleepers because so many people have collectively decided that they are sleepers and they start to jump up draft boards.
