2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - C.J. Prosise

Bias. It's a prejudice best left out of fantasy sports, yet I couldn't help but feel it when the Seattle Seahawks drafted C.J. Prosise. The biggest reason? Because I have Thomas Rawls in my league of record and the selection of Prosise worries me in terms of Rawls' value. Prosise is a talented, multi-dimensional back […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Ameer Abdullah

I was a huge fan of Ameer Abdullah entering the 2015 NFL season.

His potential in fantasy football seemed limitless, as […]

Most of the fantasy football world has heard the name Tevin Coleman, but unless you follow college athletics closely, you may not know much about him.

Top Handcuff Running Backs for 2016

While the NFL has now transformed into a pass-first league that relies on quarterbacks and wide receivers more than it does running backs, the same cannot be said for fantasy football. Running backs are even more important now in fantasy football than they used to be 5-10 years.  That is because there are fewer workhorses that […]
