Seahawks A Lock To Trade Down In First Round?

One AFC general manager said, "Only two sure things in this draft: Joe Burrow to the Bengals and Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider trades down in the first round." Schneider has traded his first-round pick every year in the eight drafts since 2012, including twice in 2017 and 2019. Even if Seattle doesn't trade […]

Patriots Love Justin Herbert

The New England Patriots love Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, according to a rival general manager, but it's unknown if they love him enough to give up draft capital to trade up and select him in the first round. New England is equipped to do so if they wanted to -- they have 12 picks, which […]

Jaguars Want To Give Gardner Minshew A Shot

A friend of Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Dave Caldwell said that the Jaguars "really want to give Gardner Minshew II a real shot," so it's unlikely that they go with a quarterback with the No. 9 pick in the draft. A defensive player like Isaiah Simmons would make a lot of sense for Jacksonville with […]

Chargers Bullish On Tyrod Taylor

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco thinks highly of Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, but head coach Anthony Lynn is legitimately bullish on Tyrod Taylor, and possibly for more than one year as the starter in a post-Philip Rivers world. Just because the Chargers believe in Taylor as a starting signal-caller doesn't mean that they […]

Dolphins Unlikely To Trade Up For Joe Burrow

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is against trading the farm to move up to No. 1 overall to select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, according to sources. Some in the Miami organization would like to do that, but it's doubtful that owner Stephen Ross signs off on that. The Bengals, although they've traded the first […]

Austin Adams Has A Chance To Be Ready

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said that relief pitcher Austin Adams (knee) is progressing well from knee surgery and has a chance to be ready whenever the 2020 season starts. Adams developed into a real late-inning threat for the M's bullpen in 2019 before he tore ligaments in his left knee on a play […]

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Packers

The Packers made it all the way to the NFC title game in 2019. But this wasn't the Packers offense we are accustomed to seeing. The team rode the impressive performance of Aaron Jones to success while Aaron Rodgers took a backseat. Is this a sign of things to come for the fantasy football value […]

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Tight Ends

Recently, I introduced three metrics for fantasy football: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple. Take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player overperformed or underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that in mind, […]

Closers Due for Regression in 2020

Finding reliable closers is always a challenge. There is a high turnover rate in the role every season, and in today's game, a lot of teams are going to a closer-by-committee approach, which adds a layer of confusion to the saves category. In each of the last three seasons, exactly 11 relievers have saved 30 […]

KeeSean Johnson's Snaps Could Take A Hit

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver KeeSean Johnson's offensive snaps could take a hit in his second season with the addition of DeAndre Hopkins to the receivers room. The sixth-round pick in 2019 finished the season with five straight inactives, but he had a great preseason and has a bright future. Johnson finished his rookie season with […]

Jace Sternberger Will Get His Chance In 2020

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger will get his chance to prove himself in 2020 with Jimmy Graham out of the picture. The Packers spent a third-round pick on Sternberger last year, but injuries hindered his development early on. He found a role in the offense late in the year as an H-back type […]

Darius Slayton's Role Should Expand

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, who was picked 171st overall in the fifth round last year, led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns in 2019. Slayton's role should only expand in his sophomore season, and he could be the team's best perimeter receiver. He will be a starter alongside Golden Tate and […]

Tony Pollard Could Be Used As A Receiver

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard won't see much work on the ground as long as Ezekiel Elliott is healthy, but he could be used in many ways in new head coach Mike McCarthy's offense. Pollard compares favorably to Ty Montgomery, who was a receiver also used as a running back under McCarthy in Green […]

Benny Snell Jr. Needs To Improve Pass Protection

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. took advantage of injuries to James Conner and Jaylen Samuels in his rookie season in 2019 and finished with 426 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 108 carries. Snell had at least 90 rushing yards in both of his starts against the Bengals and Ravens, but he was […]

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Titans

Once Ryan Tannehill became the starting QB for the Titans, the team was on a magic carpet ride to the AFC title game. During this ride, the Titans were one of the most productive offenses in fantasy. But can that success be duplicated in 2020, or will defenses be up to the challenge? Will the […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: WR Return On Investment

No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into, you're looking for market inefficiencies as we all are. Why pay an extra-high price for something that ultimately will yield the same results as something similarly good going at a steep discount? That question has no reasonable answer. The question you might be asking […]

Giants Considering Moving Back From No. 4 Overall?

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is interested in moving back from fourth overall in the first round of this month's draft, but it's hard to say how "serious" he is without knowing if the team has had any offers. Because of teams desperate to land their QB of the future, the Giants are […]

Teams Doing Their Homework On Jordan Love

Several NFL teams are doing some homework on Utah State quarterback Jordan Love in advance of this month's draft. Texas Tech coach Matt Wells, who recruited and coached Love at Utah State, has talked about Love with seven NFL head coaches who called him in the past five days. Scouts and team executives are torn […]

LeSean McCoy Wants To Play For A Contender

Free-agent running back LeSean McCoy said that, "I want to go to a team that's a winning franchise." McCoy didn't factor into KC's offense in their postseason run on the way to a Super Bowl championship, but the veteran back did run the ball 101 times for 465 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and four […]
