I will […]

Duke Johnson is the DJ to Own in Houston

There is an overwhelming sentiment echoed (particularly online) that Duke Johnson will never be a lead back.

Finding Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairings

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that correlates […]

Boom or Bust - Quarterback Predictions for 2020

Quarterbacks are frequently devalued in drafts compared to their running back and wide receiver peers, and for good reason. Despite being the highest-scoring position in fantasy football in most systems, many drafters will take multiple players at other positions before taking a quarterback. A large tier of serviceable yet interchangeable passers typically exists each year, […]

Cheap and Forgotten Players With Great Upside

As fantasy GMs, there are some things we'll never learn. One of them: forgiveness.

That happens every year in fantasy football. You […]

Engel's Angles: The DK Metcalf Love Affair Is Real

Every fantasy football platform is different.
