Atlanta Falcons 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Atlanta Falcons have been struggling to advance in the playoffs since the 2016 season when they made the Super Bowl and the “comeback” happened (sorry Falcon fans). 2019 was the second consecutive year the team missed the playoffs, and coach Dan Quinn is certainly on the hot seat once again this season. The defense […]
Dynasty Market Watch: NFC North
The NFC North has been predominately known as the defensive division in the conference. But in recent seasons, we have seen the less great play from the defenses which has opened the door to increased opportunities for fantasy scoring. In 2019, those offenses took a step back, whether it be due to injuries (Minnesota Vikings/Detroit […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: NFC Edition
Imagine the feeling of using your early start-up draft pick on a bell-cow running back. He is a lock to get a majority of your team’s carries. He is going to be a major factor in the receiving game. Heck, he may just mess around and lead the league in rushing touchdowns because he is […]
