The phrase "running back by committee" (RBBC) has kept many a fantasy owner awake in the wee hours of the night. You can do the player research, read practice notes, watch coach interviews, and much more, only to have a player who seemed destined for 10-15 touches sit on the bench for the majority of the game. The […]

Daily Fantasy Golf DraftKings Picks (PGA DFS): Greenbrier Classic

Kyle Stanley (-7) won the Quicken Loans National in a playoff over Charles Howell III. This tournament was lacking starpower and the greens had brown patches. Ew. I loved when one announcer said, Justin Thomas won the U.S. Open at 16-under yet the winning score isn't even half the U.S. Open winning score. The tournament favorite […]

2017 Player vs. Player - Mike vs. Tyrell Williams?

The Chargers have Keenan Allen, who has proven (when healthy) to be an elite level possession receiver. They signed Travis Benjamin last offseason. Dontrelle Inman has been serviceable when on the field. And last year injuries forced them to deploy Tyrell Williams, who proved himself capable of being one of the better receivers in the league. So […]

Running Back Committees To Avoid In 2017

Running back committees are essentially the kiss of death for fantasy production. The unpredictability of who gets touches when is enough to drive an owner to a hair-pulling hissy fit. And that's just for the teams we can even identify as even having a committee in the first place. Considering that we haven't hit the preseason […]

Why Zero RB Will Work in 2017

When Shawn Siegele published "Zero RB, Antifragility, and the Myth of Value-Based Drafting" in 2013, he brought Zero RB to the mainstream.
