Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 9)

Week 8 provided a glimmer of hope for offensive football in 2022. Eight teams (a 2022 season high!) scored at least 30 points in Week 8. Collectively, offensive line play didn’t improve immensely, but we also dodged any significant long-term injuries for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, Week 9 is one of […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 8)

What more can be said about the continued lack of explosive offense in the NFL during the 2022 season?

Just 10 teams had a combined PFF […]

Booms and Busts: Week 7 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds Including Romeo Doubs, Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery, T.J. Hockenson

It happens every year in fantasy when there comes a time when the injuries begin to mount, causing undervalued players to emerge.

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 7

Tight end is a dreadful, empty position and because of that, I understand – to some extent – the appeal and rush to get Taysom Hill on your fantasy rosters after his Week 5 explosion. However, as appealing as those boom weeks are, the reality is he’s simply not playing enough. We touched on that […]

This is the sixth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Arizona lost starting left guard Justin Pugh to […]

NextGen Stats - Week 6: QB Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie. You can twist them, but looking at them objectively, numbers say that no matter what, rushing the ball is almost always a worse option than passing it in today's game. That's why […]

NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 6 Including Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker III, Alec Pierce, Wan'Dale Robinson

Quite a few first-year players have already made strong impacts as professionals. Last week was strong evidence of that. Jets running back Breece Hall totaled 197 scrimmage yards and a score in a big win over Miami, and Houston's Dameon Pierce channeled his inner Marshawn Lynch on a jaw-dropping touchdown run. Brian Robinson has already left […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 6

What better way to define the tight end position than to say that a player who has more special team snaps than tight end snaps is currently the TE3 in half-PPR scoring. That is the landscape fantasy managers are being asked to muddle through at this maddening position and there doesn't seem to be any […]
