Teddy Bridgewater Starting in Denver: Who Benefits?

Denver was the site of one of the more unique quarterback training camp battles this offseason. Incumbent quarterback Drew Lock looked promising in a small sample size during his rookie season in 2019, where he went 4-1 as the Broncos starter. Lock tossed seven touchdowns and over 1,000 yards in those five starts and earned... Read More

Path to RB1: Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Clyde Edwards-Helaire burned a lot of fantasy managers last season. After Damien Williams opted out of the COVID-ridden 2020 NFL season, Edwards-Helaire's Average Draft Position (ADP) skyrocketed. He was being taken as the sixth or seventh running back off the board, and for good reason. He was hand-picked by Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy... Read More

Path to WR1: D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has had one of the more wild rides in the NFL over the last two-and-a-half years.

Catchers to Stream - Week 23 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams.... Read More

David Montgomery Is Still Being Slept On

It’s 2021 and running backs could very well be the most difficult position in fantasy football to solve on your roster. 10 years ago, you could just draft two running backs in the first two rounds no matter who it was, and barring injuries, you were in the clear. Now, with the rise in production... Read More

Path to QB1: Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts heads into training camp as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Unlike years past, there's no quarterback controversy in Philadelphia, giving Hurts an entire training camp and preseason to learn the offense and operate with the starters. With a new coaching regime in place, the repetitions can only help both Hurts and... Read More

D.J. Chark is the Jaguars Receiver You Want

Why is D.J. Chark not receiving more fantasy love? Not only is he not receiving the kind of fanfare he should be, but there are some who believe Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver in 2021. That's certainly a possibility, but fantasy managers need to remember just how good Chark... Read More

Henry Ruggs III - 2021 Breakout Candidate

Henry Ruggs III was the first receiver picked in the 2020 draft to the surprise of many.

Laviska Shenault Jr. – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Read More

Jalen Reagor – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jalen Reagor did not show fantasy football general managers much in 2020, but the same will not hold true in 2021. The Philadelphia Eagles’ former first-round pick was supposed to kickstart their pass-catching corps and give fantasy footballers a speedy slot receiver who could be useful in standard and dynasty leagues. Instead, Reagor gave fantasy... Read More

Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Gerald Everett was stuck in a tight end timeshare as part of an offense whose passing attack rarely focused on its tight ends. Not anymore. Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks as soon as he could leave the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. He is now a multimillionaire member of Russell Wilson’s receiving... Read More

Irv Smith Jr. Is the Sleeper TE to Target

After a dominant junior season at Alabama in 2018, the Minnesota Vikings made Irv Smith Jr. the 50th overall pick in the 2019 draft, and the draft capital attached to his name brought lofty expectations.
