Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review
I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after... Read More

Who to Buy in the 49ers Offense
The 2018 San Francisco 49ers may have been one of the bigger disappointments to fantasy owners. Much was to be expected from Jimmy Garoppolo and this offense led by Kyle Shanahan.

Rookie Spotlight - Diontae Johnson
One of the most perplexing selections of the 2019 NFL Draft was Pittsburgh Steelers' third-round wide receiver, Diontae Johnson. The Steelers took Johnson in the third round ahead of dozens of WRs which the vast majority of scouts and analysts had ranked above him. Wherever I looked, I saw a sixth or seventh round grade...

Rookie Spotlight - Miles Sanders
The Philadelphia Eagles made Miles Sanders the second running back selected in the 2019 NFL Draft. While there was very little consensus regarding the top backs in this class, most analysts had Sanders somewhere in or near their top five.

Rookie Running Backs Destined for a Committee
There has been some great rookie running back draft classes in recent years. This year wasn't one of those.
