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.

Five Overvalued Wide Receivers for Last Minute Drafts

Every year, there are players that are undervalued and those that are overvalued on draft day. By spending too much, or by using a high draft pick on a player that doesn't return big-time fantasy value on a consistent basis, we can put our teams in a difficult position on a week-to-week basis. This column […]

Five Dynasty Duds Who Will be Redraft Studs

Deep League Analysis: Sophomore Quarterbacks Set to Struggle in 2016

The top two picks in the 2015 NFL draft were quarterbacks, Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston and Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota.  Neither were busts last year, and both should improve and be even better this year. Other than that dynamic duo, no other rookie quarterback had an iota of fantasy value in 2015.  Only one other rookie […]

Overvalued Wide Receivers for 2016 Fantasy Football Drafts

Each and every season, there is hype surrounding some wide receivers that may not deserve it. It could be because of their name (Larry Fitzgerald) or because of what they did last year (Doug Baldwin). Regardless, there are a group of player that are being highly overvalued and have a ring of caution wrapped around them […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust, Again

2014 was a banner year for rookie receivers. 2015 was a bummer year for rookie receivers. Only Oakland’s Amari Cooper had 1,000 receiving yards, and no other wideout topped the 900-yard mark. So there is no shortage of candidates for the award of "Sophomore Receiver Ready to Bust for the Second Straight Year".  Here are three […]

Three Quarterbacks Who Are Being Overvalued in 2016

Quarterbacks are always an interesting position every year for fantasy purposes. Some owners love using a selection on the top QBs in the third round (sometimes, even the second), essentially locking up the spot and never looking back. Others tend to use all of their high picks on other positions, believing they can secure great […]

Booms or Busts? Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

Today we will be checking out whether some tight ends and wide receivers will go boom or bust in 2016 fantasy football. There's nothing better than nailing that draft pick, and watching them produce like studs for your fantasy teams. At the same time, drafting a dud can bury your fantasy teams early in the […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Tight Ends Set to Bust Again

Just like 2015 was not a year to applaud rookie receivers, rookie tight ends did not deserve any standing ovations, either. No tight ends were taken in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft, and the first-year brood showed why.  This was far from a bumper crop of fantasy darlings.  The best of the unexceptional […]

Boom or Bust Running Backs for 2016

Running backs are probably the most desired position to have on your fantasy football team. It is the back-bone and foundation that your team sits on. However, in most recent years of fantasy football, it has been hard to find running backs that will receive a lot of touches, be productive, and don't have to […]

Booms or Busts? Alshon Jeffery, Dez Bryant, and T.Y. Hilton

When picking wide receivers in a fantasy football draft, one must look closely at specific facts in order to pick the right player who will separate himself from the rest.

Draft Booms or Busts - Foster, Hyde, Brady, Mariota & More

The middle rounds of your fantasy draft make all the difference in your fantasy league.  It’s easy to hit on studs, but finding players that could potentially make or break your season in rounds 5-10 can decide whether you get that first round bye or miss the playoffs entirely. Today I’ll be bringing up a […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Running Backs Set to Disappoint

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me!  In fact, shame on me so much I should be kicked out of my fantasy league. Just like any human being, fantasy football owners do not like getting fooled twice. If a player burns them, and costs them the chance of winning their league […]

Boom or Bust Quarterbacks - Kirk Cousins, Andy Dalton, and Tyrod Taylor

The top tier of quarterbacks is easy to figure out. Telling you that Drew Brees might have a pretty good year won't help you out on draft day. With quarterbacks being drafted later and later each year, many fantasy owners are dipping below the top ten to find a starter or pairing up second and third tier […]

Is Rookie Running Back Ezekiel Elliott Overvalued?

Ezekiel Elliott, the crop-top connoisseur and 4th overall pick of the Dallas Cowboys in April’s draft, has the weight of the fantasy world on his shoulders.

Running Back Handcuffs to Avoid in 2016

The only thing less exciting than drafting a running back to handcuff the top tailback on your fantasy football team is drafting a third-string running back who is not handcuffing anybody. My last two articles revolved around the handcuff running backs that fantasy owners should eye down during their draft days.  This article deals with […]

Players To Consider Avoiding in Each Round - ADP Draft Value Inefficiencies

One of the most common pitfalls that fantasy football owners fall into is group think. Sure, you may not like someone, but if everyone else does than there has to be something there, right? Well no, no there doesn’t. Groups think will cause players who were over ranked early remain in high regard. So it […]

Boom or Bust - Doug Baldwin, Jordan Matthews, and Golden Tate
