Dynasty Showdown: Evan Engram vs Dallas Goedert

Is New York’s Evan Engram going to be more valuable than Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert this year and in the coming years in dynasty fantasy football leagues? This intriguing question will be about as easy to answer as why we park in driveways and drive on parkways. Engram is coming off an injury-plagued season where he […]

Deion Jones To Return To Practice Next Week

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that linebacker Deion Jones (foot) will practice in full next week. Jones is coming off a season that saw him play in only six games due to injury, and Atlanta just could not catch a break with their best playmakers on defense suffering serious injuries. The 24-year-old's return […]

Qadree Ollison Showing Promise In Preseason

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison has had a solid preseason so far and led the team in both carries and rushing yards in preseason Week 2. Ollison rushed nine times for 44 yards against the Jets this past week, good for a stellar 4.9 yards per carry. Ollison will be battling Ito Smith […]

Justin Hardy Has Three Catches Through Three Preseason Games

Over three preseason games, Atlanta Falcons fifth-year receiver Justin Hardy has caught three of his seven targets for just 24 yards. Hardy is firmly behind Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu on the team's depth chart, but he should be relatively secure as the team's fourth receiver, as everyone behind him has very little […]

Falcons, Julio Jones Closing In On Deal?

The Atlanta Falcons and their star wide receiver Julio Jones have been at a stalemate this offseason, but recent rumblings have suggested that a deal between the two parties could come to fruition soon. Jones's agent Jimmy Sexton is reportedly meeting with the Falcons' front office this week with the goal of locking down the […]

Sophomore Slump: Second-Year Players That Will Decline

The NFL had a number of breakout rookies last season. At each of the major positions on offense, you had guys that were performing as some of the better players in the league. While some, such as New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, will be able to continue that production, there are others which […]

Five Must-Have Targets in the Middle Rounds

If you've been playing fantasy football for long enough, you are well aware of the value of middle-round draft picks. Maybe some of your less-invested league mates mail it in after the big names are off the board, but you know the players taken in the middle rounds have the potential to alter the course […]

Must-Own PPR Wide Receivers with Late ADP

Some fantasy football players make a mistake in their draft preparation by not putting more of an emphasis into the latter stages of a draft. Sure, there is a possibility that some of your longshot selections might not be on your roster by Week 3, but why not give yourself a chance to strike gold […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Miami Dolphins are going through a lot of change heading into 2019. They released former quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Frank Gore, and head coach Adam Gase. They have also notably brought in two new quarterbacks in Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, and welcome a rookie head coach in Brian Flores. One thing that […]

Mohamed Sanu Back From Knee Injury

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (knee) was held out of practice earlier in the week but returned to play in Thursday's preseason loss to the Jets. He finished that game without a catch on only one target. With the emergence of receiver Calvin Ridley and tight end Austin Hooper alongside veteran Julio Jones, Sanu […]

Austin Hooper Stands Out In Third Preseason Game

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper made only three catches for 20 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets, but he made some tough catches in coverage. He also ran a lot of the same routes that Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez used to run while in Dirk Koetter's system. The 24-year-old had his […]

Ito Smith Having Good Preseason

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is having a strong preseason and ran five times for 19 yards and added three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown in the team's third preseason game on Thursday against the Jets. The 23-year-old had 90 carries for 315 yards and four touchdowns in his rookie season, including […]

Matt Ryan Solid In Third Preseason Game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 10-for-14 for 118 yards in the team's third preseason game against the Jets on Thursday. The offensive line failed to protect him, though, as he took three sacks and was hurried nine times. That's not a good sign early on, as Ryan was sacked 42 times in 2018. The […]

Calvin Ridley Back In Action

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring), who suffered a hamstring injury on July 25, was held out of practice for more than two weeks. Ridley returned to practice last Sunday and "looked good" and caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets. "We did a good job […]

Devonta Freeman Shaking Off The Rust

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had one carry for two yards in the opening series of the preseason game on Thursday against the Jets. After missing all but two games in 2018, the Falcons are easing Freeman back into action this preseason as their No. 1 running back. He was one of the biggest […]

Falcons Continue Extension Talks With Julio Jones

The Atlanta Falcons and wide receiver Julio Jones continue to discuss a contract extension as the 2019 regular season approaches. Experts have projected that Jones' deal will be a three-year deal worth $51.8 million, with $33 million guaranteed. He currently has two years left on his deal and is scheduled to make $9.6 million this […]

Unorthodox Draft Strategies

One of the biggest factors left out of the draft-day discussion is the makeup of your league. Analysts often mention the importance of understanding league scoring, but then fail to mention how important it is to understand your competition. There are many reasons why your competition is important. Does your league love RBs? Do they […]

Team Defense (D/ST) Draft Sleepers

Football is a fickle game. NFL defenses can be the same. A defense can be good one year and not so good the next. The common sentiment is the need to get rid of defenses in fantasy football. While this much like the kicker, debate is a good thought, it has not happened yet. Until […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC East

In 2018, after writing some uninspiring articles prompting me to wonder if I was producing anything of value or simply parroting the same advice that most of the fantasy internet had already trumpeted, I challenged myself. Not in any sort of meaningful way, like losing the excess weight or teaching myself coding or something like […]

Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Heading into your fantasy football draft, remember that quarterback is not a position you need to target early in the draft. Historically, there always are sleepers available late that could help you win a championship. We had a perfect example of this last season with Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes was only the 16th-ranked quarterback in drafts […]
