Pre-Week 1 Post-Draft: Risers and Fallers

We are a few days away from the beginning of the fantasy football season. Soon you will be pumping your fist as touchdowns are scored, as well as rolling out very creative strings of expletives as RedZone shows your wide receiver being overthrown on a fade route. Can’t you feel it? You will never be […]

Four Late Round Wide Receiver Sleepers You Should Be Drafting

Especially with half-point and full-point PPR leagues, wide receivers that earn targets from their quarterbacks are some of the most sought after pieces in fantasy football drafts. With injuries to major players like Jordy Nelson and Kelvin Benjamin, managers drafting in the next week may have to dip further into the wide receiver pool than […]

The Top Running Back Handcuffs for 2015: Who To Own?

Close your eyes and imagine this. You’re in the midst of a beautiful season, your studs are doing work, you hit on your sleepers, your team is firing on all cylinders. And then your RB1 crumbles into a heap. You don’t have the backup, that stupid smug schmuck Steve does. Steve is now blowing up […]

LeGarrette Blount: Undervalued RB to Target in 2015

LeGarrette Blount was a force to be reckoned with at the end of last season. In a year in which Bill Belichick used everything that moved for his running back job, Blount came out of nowhere (the waivers) to lead the Pats’ rushing attack into the playoffs and beyond. Despite scoring just three times in five games […]

Running Backs You Should Draft, While Others Avoid Them

It's getting down to the nitty gritty at this point. Hours of work have been spent pouring over your cheat sheet and adjustments are being made based on the most minute of details. Eventually, it gets to the point of over-analysis. With it being the most popular draft week of the year now that the […]

Three Undervalued Tight Ends to Target in 2015 Drafts

While the tight end position is not the most studied and thought out of the offensive positions (in fact, it might be last), an undervalued tight end taken at the right time can really boost a fantasy team. For that reason, I’ve outlined three tight ends below that, if taken at the right point in […]

Three Undervalued Running Backs Based on ADP Data

The days of building your fantasy football team around two stud running backs drafted in the first two rounds are over. Most NFL teams rely on a committee of running backs, as opposed to the workhorse strategy of old, and there are only a handful of true bell cow backs left in the league. If […]

Dynasty Rookie Profile: Tennessee Titans WR Dorial Green-Beckham

The Tennessee Titans clearly held offense as a priority headed into 2015 NFL Draft, and took wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham with the 40th-overall pick after drafting quarterback Marcus Mariota in the first. The plan is for the two college stand-outs to mature together and establish themselves as the core of an offense on the rise, […]

Four Deeper Sleepers to Target in 2015 Fantasy Football Drafts

I love late round fliers. What’s not to like? They are your last few picks on draft day (besides DEF/K) so there is very little risk involved, and if they hit, you look like a fantasy football genius. If they don’t hit, you just cut them and move on to the hot waiver pickup of the […]

Five Undervalued Wide Receivers to Draft: ADP Value Picks

If you’ve been reading my articles this preseason, you know I am a big fan of waiting on wide receiver this year. There are just so many good values at the position throughout the draft. Early this preseason I wrote an article on the zero WR strategy which is a good overview explaining my love […]

For the Third Year in a Row, SF WR Anquan Boldin is a Sleeper

DeVante Parker, Amari Cooper, Martavis Bryant, Nelson Agholor, Devin Funchess...what do these guys have in common? They are all projected to score more points at the wide receiver position this season than Anquan Boldin and I just don't get it. I guess if you want your fellow league mates to pat you on the back, […]

Why DeAndre Hopkins Can Be Even Better in 2015

DeAndre Hopkins is the ideal draft value for me this year.  One main reason is he will no longer be under the shadow of Andre Johnson and be the true #1 WR for the Houston Texans. With Johnson going to the Colts, I expect that Hopkins will see an increase in targets and overall numbers from […]

The Effect Jordy Nelson's Injury Has on Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, and the Rest of Green Bay

Davante Adams - Stock Up Adams is by far the biggest beneficiary of the Nelson injury. After coming out of Fresno State in the epic receiver class of 2014 and spending his rookie year eased into the #2 WR role, Davante Adams will finally get his opportunity to contribute as a starting receiver for Green […]

Three Sneaky QB2 Options for Two-Quarterback Leagues

The two-quarterback format isn’t all that common just yet, but as the fantasy football community continues to grow, more and more settings will expand in popularity. Playing in a 2QB league format requires a different draft strategy, and we are here to help. Obviously if you play in a league that starts two quarterbacks, you […]

Three Underrated Fantasy Quarterbacks for 2015

While it may be tempting to go after big names like Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning, the draft price on these players will be very high. Investing a second-round pick in Luck or Rodgers may guarantee you 20+ points at the quarterback position most weeks, but it may also leave you without a […]

2015 NFL Rookie Rankings: Dynasty / Keeper League Draft Targets

While we already published our 2015 NFL rookie rankings for fantasy football in a few different segments, we thought it was time to revisit these rankings just a little bit as we are approaching the NFL season. This is not an knee jerk overreaction based on preseason news, just some basic accounting for injury news and the opportunities […]

Giants QB Eli Manning is an Easy Draft Steal

Eli Manning is currently ranked as the 12th best quarterback based on his ADP. He is being drafted behind the likes of Ryan Tannehill, Tom Brady, and Matt Ryan. Eli's draft position suggests he's just outside of most league's starting position but comes off the board as one of the first backup quarterbacks. Basically, Eli […]
