The King's 2021 One-Man Fantasy Football Mock Draft

Now that the preseason is officially over, I have delivered my annual exercise that I have been doing since the 1990s, the one-man mock draft. In this article, I attempt to sit in the draft chairs of all participants in a 12-team PPR league with four points for a TD pass. Starting skill position requirements […]

Tight End Rankings Analysis – PPR Leagues

Tight ends might not rack up the yardage receivers do, but they can match their counterparts in the receptions department. While only two tight ends broke the 1,000-yard barrier (Travis Kelce and Darren Waller) and two had double-digit touchdowns (Kelce and Robert Tonyan) in 2020, five were targeted over 100 times and eight had 60 […]

Tight Ends To Avoid in Fantasy Drafts?

What will be your tight end strategy in your upcoming drafts? Do you punt the position and play the streamer game all season? Do you grab one of the elite TE early and secure that position on your roster for the entire season? Any strategy you employ will obviously depend on if the draft falls to […]

Najee Harris - Rookie Stud Or Dud?

Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at rookie running back Najee Harris by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021. Harris was drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and has received a lot of hype in the […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~192.8 ANALYSIS: Gage is no stranger to lining up as the No. 2 WR next to Calvin Ridley, as he did so all of those times you bemoaned Julio Jones being injured. I realize Kyle Pitts is viewed as the No. 2 in ATL and he’ll certainly get his, but […]

Qadree Ollison (RB, ATL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~230 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~249 ANALYSIS: New year, new backfield, new coach. Todd Gurley is gone and so is Julio Jones. The Falcons will establish a new identity on offense, especially in the running game with a void at running back. While Mike Davis is the presumptive favorite to start, it's doubtful he resembles a workhorse back. […]

Five Running Back Sleepers to Target

Players from all 32 teams have reported to their training camps, which has inspired many fantasy managers to increase their participation in best-ball leagues. Some of you are also preparing your strategy for upcoming drafts in redraft leagues. It is highly recommended that you remain flexible in your decision-making based upon the flow of every […]

Falcons Cut Caleb Huntley, D'Onta Foreman

Atlanta Falcons running backs Caleb Huntley and D'Onta Foreman did not make the team's 53-man roster. Both Huntley and Foreman were competing for depth spots behind starter Mike Davis, though the Falcons chose to go with Cordarrelle Patterson and Qadree Ollison to fill out the roster. The likely scenario is that Davis, who handled 17.4 […]

Mike Davis (RB, ATL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~54 ANALYSIS: I don't think I'm introducing you to anything new in Mike Davis by now, but here we are. Backing up Christian McCaffrey for a large part of the 2020 season, Davis was insanely productive, and that allowed him to finish the year as an RB1 when the season […]

All-Sleeper Team - 2021 Fantasy Football

Imagine if you had to draft a fantasy football team but could only pick players from the 10th round on. That's the exercise I undertook once again.

It's time to look at everyone's favorite position for fantasy football. That's right... we're talking about kickers!

For those of you that hold steadfast in your kicker ways, I'm here to make […]

Kyle Pitts Catches 27-Yard Pass Sunday

Qadree Ollison Totals Six Touches

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison carried the ball five times for 21 rushing yards and hauled in one pass for six receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns. Ollison finished second among Falcons backs in both touches and snaps to Caleb Huntley after the former led the backfield in both statistics in the […]

Caleb Huntley Leads Backfield In Touches

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley carried the ball eight times for 16 rushing yards while catching one pass for five receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns. Huntley led the Falcons backfield in snaps, though he often struggled to find running room on each of his carries, as he averaged just two yards […]

Josh Rosen Throws For 118 Yards, Touchdown In Falcons Debut

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Josh Rosen completed 9 of 18 passes for 118 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions in Sunday's preseason debut against the Browns. Rosen made his Falcons debut after the team signed him following A.J. McCarron's (knee) season-ending injury and played 58 percent of the team's snaps, leading one touchdown drive while showing […]

Matt Ryan Sits Out Preseason Finale

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan sat out the team's final preseason game against the Browns Sunday. It seemed like Ryan would see some action in the contest, though head coach Arthur Smith said in the postgame that there was no plan to play the veteran signal-caller this preseason, which makes sense considering the question marks […]

Tight End Rankings Analysis - Standard Scoring

Tight end is one of the most difficult positions to draft for in fantasy due to the lack of elite talent at the position. Once the top-five guys have been drafted, it becomes much trickier for managers to pick a potential TE1 just because of things like small roles, unproven NFL talent, etc. Luckily, there […]

Teddy Bridgewater Starting in Denver: Who Benefits?

Denver was the site of one of the more unique quarterback training camp battles this offseason. Incumbent quarterback Drew Lock looked promising in a small sample size during his rookie season in 2019, where he went 4-1 as the Broncos starter. Lock tossed seven touchdowns and over 1,000 yards in those five starts and earned […]

Matt Ryan Could Play "A Series Or Two" Sunday Against Browns

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is expected to see his first action of the preseason in the final contest Sunday against the Browns. The veteran signal-caller has given way to the backup quarterback competition in the first two games, a situation that has become even more important after the injury to projected backup A.J. McCarron. […]

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

Starting several years ago, the late-round QB strategy quickly caught on, becoming a staple of most fantasy managers’ drafts. In 2021, though late-round QB is still viable, fantasy managers may want to start looking in a different direction. With a plethora of young, mobile quarterbacks joining the reliable veterans, quarterback projects to be exceptionally top-heavy […]

IDP One-Man Mock Draft for Fantasy Football

Whether you're an analyst or a casual fan, nearly everyone in fantasy football has what we call a "home league." These are the types of leagues where you gather with your oldest and closest friends to drink beer, make fun of each other’s anatomy, and eventually draft a fantasy team that you won’t recognize once […]

Falcons Writer Believes Mike Davis Will Be Workhorse Back

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis will be a part of a rotation at the position, though NFL.com's Scott Bair believes the veteran will end up as the team's workhorse. Davis was thrust into a starting role last season for the Panthers and excelled, totaling 903 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 17.4 touches per […]

ADP Showdown - Brandon Aiyuk vs. Tee Higgins

Brandon Aiyuk and Tee Higgins are both second-year wide receivers who are coming off solid rookie campaigns. While both of these guys are ascending players, should you draft them this season at their current average draft position (ADP)? If so, which player has the better outlook? Per NFFC data pulled from 12-team leagues, Higgins currently […]

Per FantasyDataNFL, Kittle currently has an ADP of 28.5 in PPR, […]

ADP Showdown - Kyle Pitts vs Noah Fant

Shh. Listen. The wind laps against the rusted-out husk of a windmill. In the distance, you think you hear footsteps, but it can't be. You're alone here. There is no one left. This is the barren, post-apocalyptic wasteland that is Tight End World, where barely anyone has survived. Travis Kelce hides in a bunker. George […]

Hayden Hurst Has Strong Day Of Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst put together a strong showing as a receiver during Thursday's practice. ESPN's Michael Rothstein reports that Hurst hauled in several balls, showing off his speed and ability to stretch the field on a couple of deep passes. Talented rookie Kyle Pitts has garnered much of the attention during camp, […]
