Draft Strategy: Building a Winner Around Travis Kelce

Drafting a tight end anywhere in the first round may just not feel right to you.

FFPC Terminator League Best-Ball Strategy

Best-ball leagues continue to expand and grow in popularity. Numerous sites offer variations of the same formula but where else can you find the Terminator league?

Zero-RB is an Excellent Draft Strategy in 2021

First things first, and this is where most people throw out the Zero-RB strategy immediately – it is not made for every fantasy football league. It is a draft strategy that is to be used in specific draft settings. Part of the reason Zero-RB gets such a bad rap is it is believed to be... Read More

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2021

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten.
