2015 NFL Fantasy Draft Strategy: Zero Wide Receivers

I’m not the type of person to commonly use a specific draft strategy. I like to stress letting the value come to you. It helps that I have my own rankings and I can work off of those for every draft. In using my own rankings, I find myself going running back heavy early and […]

Fantasy Football 2015: Ranking the Top 10 Second Year Running Backs

The 2014 rookie running back class wasn't as exciting as the quarterback class, nor did it hold a candle to the surge of young receivers. In fact, only a handful of second year halfbacks are expected to start for their teams in week 1 of the 2015 season. In 2014, only one rookie running back […]

Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings Agree to Restructured Contract

The 2015 fantasy football year is looking to be remarkably similar to that of 2012, when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was flying off the board as the number one pick (you remember that year – when all quarterback Christian Ponder had to do was wake up long enough to yawn and pass the […]

Why Titans Running Back David Cobb is an Undervalued Sleeper in 2015

In the ultra-competitive world of fantasy football, everyone is always looking for an edge up on every team. Seeing that everybody is obsessed with finding the perfect sleeper, it is only fitting that every fantasy football fanatic collectively take a good long look at Tennessee Titans rookie running back David Cobb. Despite rushing for the eleventh-most […]

DeMarco Murray: Not the Risk You Think He Is

DeMarco Murray is coming off the best season of his career in which he dominated fantasy football with only one other running back even coming close to his total points. In standard scoring, you could knock an entire 5 points a game off DeMarco’s season total (80 points total) and he would still be the RB6 last […]

Carolina Panthers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Ever since Cam Newton entered the league in 2011, the Carolina Panthers have had one of the more exciting offenses both in real-life football and in fantasy.

Buffalo Bills: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Hear that sound? That’s Rex Ryan yammering about how good the Bills are going to be all the way from New York to Buffalo. Jokes aside, the Buffalo Bills should be a much-improved team in the upcoming season. New head coach Rex Ryan might get picked on for how boisterous he was while coaching the New […]

St. Louis Rams: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Let’s face it, the St. Louis Rams don’t exactly boast the flashiest offense in the NFL. Between the derailment of the Tavon Austin hype train and an unexpected quarterback carousel, the Rams have been nothing more than forgettable since the start of last season. That being said, the team’s ground game is a major point […]

BALLER MOVE: Target in Early Rounds as Low-End RB1 CURRENT ADP: 34 STD, 36 PPR ANALYSIS: Going back to his days at Alabama, Mark Ingram showed himself to be a talented runner who could rise to the top echelon if he was given the right opportunity.

Arizona Cardinals: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Arizona Cardinals made an expected leap within in the NFC in the 2014 season. Unfortunately, injuries just hammered the roster resulting in the Cardinals going out with a whimper rather than a bang. There’s reason for optimism, however, as the team should be healthier heading into 2015. A clean bill of health might be […]

Why Bengals Running Back Jeremy Hill is Undervalued in 2015

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill had a fantastic rookie season. As a result, he is being drafted in the mid-2nd to early-3rd range in early mock drafts. That seems like a pretty fair ADP for a guy with just 16 games of experience and even fewer as a starter. He’s already being drafted ahead of […]

Why Saints Running Back Mark Ingram Can Be Your Next RB1

The only surprising thing about Mark Ingram breaking out last year as one of the better running backs in the league is that it didn’t happen until his fourth season. Going all the way back to his days at Alabama, Ingram showed himself to be a talented runner who could rise to the top echelon if he […]

Depth Chart Battles: Which Browns RB Will Run Away with the Starting Job?

Check out our full Running Back Depth Charts here. If there's one thing we've learned about the Cleveland Browns over the last few seasons it's that we shouldn't rely too heavily on their offense for fantasy purposes.

Depth Chart Battles: Falcons Running Backs Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman

When the Atlanta Falcons selected Tevin Coleman out of Indiana in the third round, the assumption was that he would automatically become the starting running back. Considering how bleak Atlanta's ground game has been over the last few years, that's a fair assumption to make.  That being said, completely writing off Devonta Freeman after just one year […]

2015 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings: 1-12

I love dynasty leagues. Getting to build and develop a team, make trades that have long-lasting impact and the complexity of decision making that goes into every move and waiver decision is so much more exciting to me than the redraft format. In my dynasties, I've had a golden rule when it comes to the […]
