Keep/Trade/Cut - PPR Running Backs

If you follow me on Twitter (@krich1532), you know I love to play the game Keep/Trade/Cut. We pick three players with an average draft position (ADP) in the same range and we determine what we will do with them. This is a great exercise to start a discussion and get your brain moving. So why […]

ADP Sleepers or Busts? How to Treat Jacksonville's Receiving Options

In my mind, there are two ways you can look at the Jaguars wide receiver battle this preseason. First, you can take a gander at the five promising players there -- Keelan Cole, Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief, and D.J. Chark -- and think wow, someone is going to emerge from that mess and be […]

Stop That Hype Train! Kenyan Drake

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was a fantastic fantasy find in 2017, but do not be surprised if he is an unforgivable fantasy flop in 2018. It is probably not fair or accurate to label Drake as a sleeper heading into the 2018 season. Fantasy players with half a brain or a couple hours […]

Stop That Hype Train! Trey Burton

Is Trey Burton going to be the top tight end option on the Chicago Bears in 2018? Yes. Is he the best TE on the roster? Maybe. These are not high thresholds to leap over at this point in time, however. Mitchell Trubisky may have a breakout season like Jared Goff last season, which would […]

Fantasy Headliners - Are You Buying the Hype on Draft Day?

Preseason is the time of the year that hype on players reaches unsafe levels during your fantasy football draft. In this episode Jake will discuss a few players whose preseason hype is already causing them to be expensive on draft day and whether or not im buying it or not due to their bust potential. […]

Stop that Hype Train! Josh Gordon

With the ease at which information is transmitted in this modern day and age, players that otherwise would have had a low ADP and tantalizing upside are being forced up draft boards by consensus within the community that they are undervalued. However, if the masses recognize that some players are at an ADP that is […]

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. He should be good at football, but after three years on an NFL field, we can definitively conclude that he is not. […]

Stop that Hype Train! Kenny Golladay

It's not every year that you get a player who creates an immense amount of hype, doesn't live up to it, and then goes out and generates more hype a year later, but that's where we are with Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay, everyone's favorite 2017 sleeper who finished as the WR69 last season in […]

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? Completion percentage does little to tell us about a quarterback's overall ability in that department because it can easily be skewed by […]

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. When the players end up being drafted above their worth, you end up with a spot on your roster that isn't giving you maximum value. Don't do that. Don't […]

Stop That Hype Train! Cameron Meredith

There are many reasons to be excited for the prospects of Cameron Meredith coming into the 2018 season. He is on an offense in New Orleans headed by the most accurate passer of all time. He will likely slide into the number three wide receiver position which was held down badly last season by the […]

Boom or Bust that ADP

Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]

Running Back Committees to Avoid in 2018

The three-down back is starting to disappear in the NFL, and fantasy owners who don’t have a top first-round pick are missing out on the elite options. The shift to more committees in the NFL has also altered the way fantasy football owners draft. There are some team backfields you may want to avoid for […]

Stop that Hype Train! Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET)

Training camps have now begun, as the days of summer continue their unrelenting progression into the preseason. As a result, owners are escalating their draft preparation and actual roster construction, in hopes that the teams that they have assembled will ultimately prevail in their leagues. The ongoing attempts to identify sleepers is an integral part of […]

Stop That Hype Train! Jamaal Williams

The hype train for Green Bay’s Jamaal Williams could be derailed during the early portion of the 2018 NFL season. There has been a lot of chatter surrounding Williams this offseason in fantasy football circles. The former fourth-round running back is the prime candidate to be the top tailback for Aaron Rodgers’ high-powered offense heading […]

Stop That Hype Train! Rashaad Penny

With the 27th pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected Rashaad Penny, running back, San Diego St. Along with this pick came the hype of being a first-round running back in a pass-heavy league. We will have to wait and see how the pressure is handled; pressure, not […]

Boom or Bust - Player Predictions for Young QBs

If you haven’t (and happen to be a law-abiding citizen of the utmost regard who’s never had the pleasure of going to court), here’s a quick rundown of the judicial process. […]

Why This Year's Alvin Kamara Doesn't Exist

One of the biggest pitfalls of fantasy football analysis is recency bias. Whenever something new or innovative is invented or discovered, everyone is looking for "the next (insert thing) here." In fantasy football, we constantly chase last year's production at our own peril. Alvin Kamara is coming off the single most efficient season for a […]
