David Johnson's season, and many of his fantasy owners' seasons, ended abruptly during Week 1 of the 2017 NFL Season. Fantasy's number one ranked player suffered a dislocated wrist that required season-ending surgery.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)

The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before. Running the ball made a comeback this past season, as did spreading the ball around to many different pass catchers instead of zoning in one guy all the time. 24 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, compared to […]

ADP Arbitrage - Mid-round Players to Target in Redraft

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Tight End (Half-PPR)

Unfortunately, tight ends as a position have been losing value in the NFL for quite a while.

Here Comes the Breakout - Joe Mixon

One of the most debated players this off-season has been Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon. Selected in the second round of the 2017 draft, he was widely considered one of, if not the best, running backs in the draft last season. Fantasy owners bought into the running back as well, helping boost his ADP […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Just like loyal fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I had high hopes for the team entering 2017.

Let It Go - Players To Drop In Dynasty Leagues
