Quarterbacks To Avoid in Drafts?
In the last week without regular-season football for the rest of this year, many fantasy managers will be conducting their fantasy drafts. Zeroing in on your strategy is essential for fantasy success but don't hesitate to zig when others zag. Fantasy managers need to be flexible and adapt in their drafts. Every draft has its […]
Don't Let Go: Players Not To Drop Yet In Dynasty
It can be really tempting to drop an underperforming player in dynasty. That's not always the best decision, though. Players who seem droppable on the surface sometimes aren't in the wild world of dynasty leagues, where a changing situation could suddenly give someone value. Below, you'll find four players you may be dropping that you shouldn't in […]

Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts
The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]
Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions
I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]
Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target
With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]
Late-Round Draft Values - Running Backs
Once you reach the late rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]
Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers
Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]
Must-Have Wide Receivers for 2021 Fantasy Football
So many players, not enough roster spots. That's often the feeling you have after wrapping up a fantasy football draft when your must-have players didn't last until your pick or your favorite sleepers were left undrafted. The solution - join at least 10 leagues and you're almost guaranteed to get them all somewhere! For those […]
Must-Have Running Backs for 2021 Fantasy Football
If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes […]
Must-Have Backup Running Backs
After a turbulent season in 2020, Week 1 is right around the corner. Historically, most leagues aren't won by who is taken in the first few rounds of fantasy drafts. Instead, it's by who finds those "value" options later on. Also, a majority of the most successful league managers remain committed to searching the waiver […]
Must-Have Tight Ends
In fantasy football, understanding the importance of the tight end position can provide an enormous edge when it comes to fantasy scoring. Since 2018, there have been a total of 11 tight ends that have exceeded 200 fantasy points a year. Three of them belong to Travis Kelce. Two of them belong to Darren Waller, […]

Jalen Hurts - Undervalued or Overrated?
Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021.

Caleb Huntley, D'Onta Foreman Join Falcons Practice Squad
Running backs Caleb Huntley and D'Onta Foreman were released by the Atlanta Falcons Tuesday but have joined the team's practice squad, per Jeff Schultz of The Athletic. Huntley, who showed some explosive ability at times, tallied 20 carries for 91 rushing yards and a touchdown while hauling in two passes for 19 receiving yards in […]
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 […]
