Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

Jameis Winston: 2015 NFL Rookie Fantasy Analysis

Last year's rookie QB class was slightly underwhelming. No one provided an Andrew Luck, or even Robert Griffin III from 2012  season, and the 2015 class doesn't look much better. While Winston was anointed the #1 pick in 2015 as early as September 2013, his 2014 season was disappointing. His Florida State team was labeled as a fraudulent 13-0, […]

Analyzing and Projecting the Rookie QBs: Tampa Bay's Jameis Winston and Tennessee's Marcus Mariota

Since 2002, only 18 rookie quarterbacks have started week 1 of the season for their team, and five of them came in 2012. On average, a rookie QB that starts week one finishes the season with just over 3,100 yards passing and 16 TDs, numbers that do not make them very valuable in fantasy football. […]

Rookie RBs to Target & Avoid: Running Back Values & Tiered Rankings

Last year's rookie class was one of the worst rookie running back classes in years, shown most loudly by the highest drafted running back going at pick 54 (which would be Bishop Sankey).
