The 'Air-Yards' metric is an extremely useful tool when analyzing how wide receivers are used. The concept was created by then-RotoViz contributor Josh Hermsmeyer, who has since launched his own website, AirYards.com. The majority of the data I discuss in this article was originally produced there, and I strongly encourage you to check out the... Read More

Two of the league's top offenses will take the field Monday night as the Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1-1) make the trip to Tampa to take on the surprisingly prolific Buccaneers (2-0); a statement which I did not see myself making heading into the season. Sure, most people figured this Steelers offense would be high-powered yet again... Read More

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the expert crowd. I'll be examining my... Read More
I was wrong. There, now that's out of the way and we can move on to Week 3. See, the point of being an "expert" ranker, analyst, writer, editor, yadda yadda is that you are professing your knowledge and dedication to a topic in order to help others. As much as I enjoying writing and... Read More
Last year about this time, I challenged myself to ask the question about fantasy players: do I believe something, or can I prove it? The idea remains pretty simple, that its nearly impossible to really prove something about a guy only two weeks in, and that if you can somehow prove it now, it's imperative to act on it....

Through two weeks of the NFL season, my hit rate on projecting non-quarterback busts has been pretty strong, but when it comes to predicting which quarterbacks would struggles...man, it's been tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 1... Still, it's Week 3, and we're starting to get some better data to... Read More
Forget about the busts and booms everyone in fantasy football knows about! What about those busts and booms flying under the radar? There are a plethora of players who fit the under-the-radar profile this week. It is still early enough in the season where certain players are not getting the pub (negatively or positively) they...

Not many of you would be reading my column anymore had Zane Gonzalez been able to kick an extra point or field goal to defeat the Saints. The other big favorites covered so it wasn't a survivor annihilation like it was last week. There were seven outright upsets with only the Redskins and Texans causing... Read More
Assessing consistency after two weeks of the season is always tough but in a 16-game season we have already seen an eighth of it. Therefore, looking at how players have started the season is still useful. It may not be a predictor of long-term fantasy consistency but it does give us an impression of who... Read More
Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins has struggled to get anything going on the ground so far this season. The question becomes what should fantasy owners do with a running back that is immensely talented, but has failed to live up to expectations? Coming into the season, Collins was ranked among the top-20 fantasy running... Read More
He is not a fantasy football QB1. His team lacks any type of identity or threat to the upper echelon of teams in the NFC. There are even talks of unseating him atop the Detroit Lions depth chart. You may be sullying his name as we speak. Stop The Slander! Thank the Fantasy Football Gods... Read More
As the season rolls on, it becomes easier and easier to decide which corners are the ones I'm most likely to find success picking on. One of those CBs was discovered in last weeks article, and I will be featuring him again in the first matchup I break down this week. Nothing is more important... Read More
In Week 2, we unfortunately bore witness to some notable running back injuries including Dalvin Cook, Melvin Gordon, Joe Mixon, Jay Ajayi, and LeSean McCoy. On a more positive note, Aaron Rodgers was able to play thanks to a cumbersome knee brace and even threw a TD to his go-to receiver, Davante Adams. Now as we... Read More
Week three was a bucket of joy from a fan perspective. There were one possession games, highly competitive matchups between ranked teams, and even major upsets. And it's a good time to hold onto those memories as we approach week four. Week four is typically not the best slate of games from a competitive stand... Read More
Week 2 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and what a wild ride it has been so far. Matt Breida leads the NFL in rushing, David Johnson is ranked outside of the top 25 in fantasy points at his position, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the number one overall fantasy player, Patrick Mahomes has... Read More
It was another interesting week of games and news in the NFL, which has resulted in the shakeup of several wide receiver depth charts around the league. Injuries in Philadelphia and the trade of Josh Gordon were the main movements this week and will be featured in the article. However, there are also several other... Read More
In this column, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally,... Read More
In what world is Ryan Fitzpatrick a better quarterback than Jameis Winston? In the world of the 2018 NFL. Not only has he started the season with 819 passing yards, eight touchdown passes and a 78% completion rate through the first two weeks, but he also has the most important ability - availability. Jameis Winston... Read More
The thing about writing a "bold predictions" article is that you're essentially going 20 percent on data and 80 percent on gut instincts, so when I wrote a few weeks ago that Russell Wilson would finish outside of the top 10 at the quarterback position I definitely felt like there was a chance of it...

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay... Read More
Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet...

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps... Read More
That headline is sure to get some wide-eyed looks and eye rolls but I'm serious. Now that he's back, should you trade Carson Wentz immediately? It's a much more legitimate idea than it sounds. It's hard to envision a scenario where the pre-injury MVP-to-be can automatically be on the block the second he returns, but... Read More
Time to gear up for Week 3 and with that comes another edition of #TrendingNow. This week I want to cover a couple sets of teammates that may be heading in two different directions. It may be in with the young and out with the old for these teammates and we need to get out... Read More
