Late-Round QBs With Upside and Safe QBs to Avoid

I will be exploring a new strategy in fantasy football this season. I will be looking to build a safe base in the early rounds and then looking to avoid safe floor players who offer little upside afterwars.

If you're looking to liven up your fantasy experience, trying your hand at an Only league could be a great way to bring a fresh perspective to one of your favorite pastimes.

Laviska Shenault Jr. - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Jacksonville Jaguars likely do not have high expectations about advancing far in 2020.  If anything, they should be considered a rebuilding team with a stripped-down defense, young QB in Gardner Minshew II, and a running back with an uncertain future in Leonard Fournette. However, they did draft a wide receiver in Laviska Shenault Jr. […]

Early IDP Tiered Rankings & Analysis for 2020

Individual Defensive Player (IDP) formats are becoming more popular in fantasy leagues, but not all IDP leagues are the same. Your IDP ranks can and should change depending on your league's format.

The Fantasy Fallacy of Running Back Committees

Some of the scariest words a fantasy owner can hear is that their running back is now part of a committee (RBBC). However, people rarely look beyond this - failing to examine what this truly means, and how it impacts a player’s value. In simple terms, an RBBC is defined as having multiple running backs […]

Kurt Busch To Start From Rear, Serve Pass Through Penalty

Chip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch failed inspection three times before Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway and will have to start from the rear of the field.

Derrick Henry Could See Fewer Touches

TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt thinks that offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will look to spread the ball around more to a number of players in 2020, which is why he thinks it's unrealistic to think that running back Derrick Henry has a chance for 2,000 rushing yards. The team will try to take some of the load […]

Titans Coaches Like Corey Davis

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis' future with the team beyond 2020 depends on how he performs in this season, but the coaches really like him. A former first-round pick (fifth overall) has disappointed in the NFL so far, but he does a lot of things well and is a willing blocker in the running […]

Damiere Byrd A Regular At Throwing Sessions

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has been a regular at the throwing sessions with quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer.

Jarrett Stidham, Brian Hoyer In Fierce Competition

New England Patriots quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer are in a fierce competition with each other for the starting gig in the post-Tom Brady era, but the two have been working out together and have an important dynamic between each other while sacrificing to help each other.

Kurt Warner Compares Stephon Gilmore To Deion Sanders

Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner said that New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore is a rare talent in today's NFL.
