Week 3 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Through two weeks of the NFL season, my hit rate on projecting non-quarterback busts has been pretty strong, but when it comes to predicting which quarterbacks would struggles...man, it's been tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 1... Still, it's Week 3, and we're starting to get some better data to […]

Week 3 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Assessing consistency after two weeks of the season is always tough but in a 16-game season we have already seen an eighth of it. Therefore, looking at how players have started the season is still useful. It may not be a predictor of long-term fantasy consistency but it does give us an impression of who […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Analysis - Week 3

It was another interesting week of games and news in the NFL, which has resulted in the shakeup of several wide receiver depth charts around the league. Injuries in Philadelphia and the trade of Josh Gordon were the main movements this week and will be featured in the article. However, there are also several other […]

Sleeping in Seattle - Is Russell Wilson No Longer a QB1?

The thing about writing a "bold predictions" article is that you're essentially going 20 percent on data and 80 percent on gut instincts, so when I wrote a few weeks ago that Russell Wilson would finish outside of the top 10 at the quarterback position I definitely felt like there was a chance of it […]

Warning Signals - RB / WR / TE

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Buy or Sell? Week 3 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Carson Wentz is Back! Should You Trade Him?

That headline is sure to get some wide-eyed looks and eye rolls but I'm serious. Now that he's back, should you trade Carson Wentz immediately? It's a much more legitimate idea than it sounds. It's hard to envision a scenario where the pre-injury MVP-to-be can automatically be on the block the second he returns, but […]

#TrendingNow - Week 3 Dynasty Risers and Fallers

Time to gear up for Week 3 and with that comes another edition of #TrendingNow. This week I want to cover a couple sets of teammates that may be heading in two different directions. It may be in with the young and out with the old for these teammates and we need to get out […]

Disaster Recovery Week 2: Not My DJ

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about benching, and deciding if you should be panicking at all […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Week 2 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The first week of the NFL season is in the books! We learned all kinds of cool things last weekend, including the fact that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the greatest quarterback of all-time, that Matthew Stafford might as well change his last name to Peterman, and that having Alvin Kamara, James Conner, and Tyreek Hill all […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a […]

Wide Receiver Targets and Snaps - Week 1 Report

After spending months, weeks, and days subtracting the amount of time that remained until the regular season, we have now shifted focus toward adding numbers instead. This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 2

One week down, 16 more weeks of under-the-radar booms and busts to go! My opening week of boom/bust predictions was as uneven as Eminem’s new album. While James White and Ted Ginn made me look like I may know a thing or two, DeSean Jackson ruined everything by posting a 5-146-2 line that made me […]

Week 2 Consistency Report

Finding consistency in fantasy sports is hugely important if you want to have a shot at winning your leagues. Players with high variability week-to-week have their purpose, but if you rely too much on them you are going to find yourself frustrated some weeks. If fantasy football had roto style leagues like baseball, or you […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Changes - Week 2

There are a number of reasons for wide receiver depth chart changes, and they aren’t always neat and logical. However, after Week 1 things did break down fairly easily in terms of moves up and down depth charts. As a result, the analysis in this article will be broken into three major sections. First, is […]

Bench Your Bills? LeSean McCoy and Kelvin Benjamin Outlooks

Insane blowouts can be fun when you're not a fan of either team, but sometimes it reaches a point where you just feel bad. That's how it felt watching the Ravens obliterate the poor, poor Buffalo Bills 47-3. Beyond the real-life ramifications of things like "How on Earth did they start Nathan Peterman?" and "Josh […]

It’s full steam ahead for Week 2 and welcome to the first #TrendingNow of the 2018 regular season. If you are new to this article, thanks for jumping in and taking some time to read it. This is the one article I keep each season that is strictly dynasty based. If you don’t play in […]

Week 1 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Football is finally, finally back. Since the NFL is the professional sports league with the longest off-season, the wait for the new season to come around feels like a lifetime. Sure, there are other sports to fill the void, but some of us just can't get into baseball, which is a completely valid thing to […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 1

Cue that Hank Williams Jr. music, because fantasy owners are ready for some football! The fantasy football season is ready to kick off, and there is no time like the present to figure out the under-the-radar booms and busts for the first week of the NFL season. Whether you are in a traditional year-long league […]

Stop The Hype Train! Mitch Trubisky

A rookie season under a boring, stuck-in-the-past coach who was unwilling to change which has now turned into a fresh offensive-minded head coach with weapons on offense. No, I am not talking about Jared Goff. This is the story of Mitch Trubisky of the Chicago Bears. While the narratives are the same from an oft-injured […]

Stop That Hype Train! Alex Collins

The 2017 season for Alex Collins was a roller coaster. It started off with the Seahawks releasing him in training camp and finished with him being the next big thing in Baltimore. Wait, the Seahawks released a good running back? No wonder they can’t run the ball. Anyway, after the injury to Danny Woodhead which […]

Get Off My Lawn - Choosing Veteran RBs Over Rookies

After an unprecedented year for rookie running backs, lightning will not strike twice. The rooks will have a big regression and veterans will retain their position at the top of the heap in fantasy football. Typically, when one analyzes the fantasy football field, rookies are viewed like the shrimp at an all you can eat […]
