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.

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?

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 […]

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.

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 […]
