Dynasty Rankings Analysis - Tight End

There are plenty of talented tight ends in the NFL these days, and many of them are 27 or younger and perfect to have on a dynasty fantasy football roster for the next several seasons. Fantasy football general managers do not generally build their dynasty teams around their tight ends. That does not mean that […]

2021 Standard Rankings Analysis: Wide Receiver

The NFL has become a pass-first league, and fantasy football general managers have adapted their strategies to coincide with this. There used to be a time where wide receivers were third bananas in fantasy football behind running backs and quarterbacks. That feels like when parachute pants were cool to wear, though, because receivers have become […]

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

The quarterback has become the most overlooked position in standard fantasy formats. Players have gotten smarter over the years by realizing just how deep the position is, and the days of QB runs happening in the first couple of rounds in the draft are long gone. Still, you're unlikely to be able to win a […]

Early 2021 PPR Rankings Analysis - Tight End

The tight end position has been top-heavy for many years and it's no different in 2021. Travis Kelce and Darren Waller have led their respective teams in targets the last two seasons, while George Kittle has averaged 8.1 targets per game the last three seasons. Meanwhile, Kyle Pitts out of Florida has already been dubbed […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Quarterback

In dynasty leagues, hitching your wagon to the right gunslinger is crucial. Unlike the turbulence at running back and unpredictability at wide receiver or tight end, quarterbacks can be consistent point-getters for years to come without the need for turnover. The biggest question is how to weigh youth versus experience. That's what we aim to […]

Early 2021 Standard Rankings Analysis: Tight End

The hearty supply of potent and powerful players at the tight end position heading into the 2021 NFL season are probably making fantasy footballers’ mouths water more than a surf-and-turf combo of filet mignon and lobster tail. While only two tight ends broke the 1,000-yard barrier (Travis Kelce and Darren Waller) and two had double-digit […]

Early ADP Variations: ESPN Overvalued & Undervalued

The surest path to the prizes in fantasy football this year is landing one of the five elite quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, or Dak Prescott. They’ll provide a sizable week-to-week scoring advantage, often with their legs as well as with their arms that warrant the draft cost and then some. […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Wide Receivers

Wide receivers are the staple of any good dynasty team. Attrition keeps attacking the running back position more and more each year. Those in non-Superflex leagues can get by with one good quarterback. At wide receiver, you'll need at least three solid players to form the core of your squad for years to come. Below […]

Quarterback Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

On the field, quarterbacks are the most crucial position of all. In fantasy football, not so much. This may be especially true in best-ball leagues where the highest win rates don't usually associate with the best passers. This seems counterintuitive since there is no possibility to stream QB or pick up an injury replacement off […]

Early 2021 PPR Rankings Analysis - Running Back

It’s always good to comb through the rankings to see how players are being valued. The entire pool of running back is shallow at the top end.

IDP Positional Rankings for 2021 (Pre-Training Camp)

Tight End Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Tight end isn't everyone's favorite position in fantasy football. Beyond the top tier, we encounter uncertainty, frustration, and the need to stream. There is no such option in best-ball leagues, though. Securing a high-end TE, especially in an FFPC format that uses TE-Premium scoring, is very appealing but not everyone can have Travis Kelce, nor […]
