Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (April 2019)

All of a sudden, the tight end has become cool in fantasy football. Maybe not all of them, but the position that used to be largely ignored until the middle rounds is now a priority for some. If you managed to nab one of the top three TEs last year, you had a clear advantage […]

Grady Jarrett Not At Offseason Workouts

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett wasn't present for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday. Jarrett had the $15.2 million franchise tag placed on him this offseason, and he's hoping to land a long-term contract extension by the deadline on July 15. Owner Arthur Blank has said that Jarrett will be a […]

Julio Jones Sitting Out Offseason Workouts

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not in attendance for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday, according to a source.

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Carolina Panthers

The 2018 season was a lost one for the Carolina Panthers. It was apparent that Cam Newton was playing hurt towards the end of the season, likely costing this team a shot at the playoffs. The overall numbers were respectable for Newton (3,395 yards and 28 total TD) but during the fantasy playoffs, he disappeared […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Atlanta Falcons

The 2018 Atlanta Falcons were a Jekyll and Hyde team. On offense, they were among the league's best in moving the ball (sixth in total yards) but on defense, they could not stop anyone (25th in 26.4 PPG allowed). Matt Ryan rebounded in a big way from a poor 2017 (4,923 yards with 38 total […]

Julio Jones Not Worried About Contract Situation

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones isn't concerned about his contract situation and isn't publicly lobbying to become the league's highest-paid player at his position. The six-time Pro Bowler doesn't seem pressured to get anything done for the time being, as he has two years and $21.026 million left on the five-year, $71.25 million extension […]

Falcons Want To Keep Grady Jarrett Around Long Term

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank thinks that defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and wide receiver Julio Jones will be "Falcons for life." Atlanta put the $15.2 million franchise tag on Jarrett this offseason and have been negotiating a long-term deal with Jones. Jarrett was a fifth-round pick in 2011, and he and the Falcons can negotiate […]

Julio Jones In Extension Talks With Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons and wide receiver Julio Jones are both in a good place and plan to continue negotiating with the star wideout on a contract extension.

Odell Beckham Jr. to Cleveland - Fantasy Impact

After five seasons in New York, star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was traded to the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday. Despite signing a five-year, $95 million contract extension this past August (which included $41 million in guaranteed cash), consistent friction between the 26-year-old and the front office made this move not only inevitable but prudent […]

Falcons Agree With Logan Paulsen

The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent tight end Logan Paulsen on Saturday. Paulsen returns to Atlanta, where he had only nine catches for 91 yards and one touchdown in 15 games in his first season with the Falcons last year. He should not be on anyone's fantasy radar […]

Air Yards Analysis - Using the Statistic to Find Value at WR

Air yards: a simple term in itself but for fantasy football what is the significance? In essence, air yards is a cumulative total of a player's depth of target. It only includes yards traveled from the time the QB releases it up to the moment the ball is either dropped or caught by the receiver. […]

Tevin Coleman Signs Two-Year Deal With 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers and running back Tevin Coleman have agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coleman, who was met with a colder than expected market in free agency, escapes a committee in Atlanta just to form another one with either Jerick McKinnon, Matt Breida, or both. Of course, […]

Steelers Begin the Post-Antonio Brown Era

It’s difficult to envision the Pittsburgh passing game being quite as prolific for fantasy purposes without Antonio Brown. Yet the Steelers have successfully moved on from top receivers before. Change is nothing new to them during the Ben Roethlisberger era. As noted by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Plaxico Burress left after Roethlisberger’s rookie campaign in 2004, […]

Rookie Running Back Sleepers and Dynasty Targets

With the NFL Combine over and done with, we have a pretty good idea of the landscape of this upcoming draft class. Most prospects have either secured their status by checking the boxes in the combine or have tanked their stock in the fantasy community with poor testing. They will have another opportunity to rectify […]

Tight End Dynasty Rankings - Tiers and Analysis

2018 was probably the best year for tight ends in the history of fantasy football. Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz set the NFL single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 116, while San Francisco’s George Kittle set the single-season record for receiving yards for a tight end with 1,377. What’s crazy is that neither of […]

Dynasty Buy-Low Values for 2019 - Quarterback

We all know that quarterback is the one position where you can wait and wait and wait and still find some good fantasy value on draft day, but that changes a little bit in dynasty leagues, because those same quarterbacks that you can get late in re-draft are probably already on someone's roster, so to […]

Ito Smith - Rookie Recap / Dynasty Outlook

We continue our look back at the rookie seasons of some under-the-radar dynasty assets with Atlanta Falcons RB Ito Smith.

With Tevin Coleman likely to depart via free agency, Smith could […]
