Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 9-16

We've already run through the early rounds in Part 1 to find potential league winners in 2020 fantasy football drafts. Now, we move to the latter half of the draft. The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a […]

Overvalued RB Handcuffs Getting Too Expensive

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

Don't Let Go: Players to Hold in Dynasty

Dynasty leagues require a lot of patience. After all, building a consistent, winning team takes time. It takes a keen eye for talent. It takes luck. And it takes the ability to recognize that sometimes you have to use a roster spot on someone who won't give you much in the short term, but who […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition

Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at […]

PPR Draft Targets - Undervalued Tight Ends

For fantasy football GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war-rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the format of the league we're going to be part of. The difference between Standard and PPR (Point-Per-Reception) scoring systems is […]

Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

Dolphins Haven't Discussed Extension With Matt Breida

The Miami Dolphins have yet to discuss a contract extension with running back Matt Breida after giving up the No. 153 overall pick in April's draft to acquire him from the 49ers. The running back is scheduled for unrestricted free agency after the 2020 season and is scheduled to make $3.3 million in the final […]

Diontae Johnson: Breakout or Break-Ouch?

Every fantasy analyst and their dog seems to have Diontae Johnson on their 2020 breakout list. Despite last year’s accomplishments, which prime him for a breakout campaign in 2020, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t underwhelmed by my further statistical and film analysis. The 2019 third-round pick managed to have a very […]

Five Overvalued Running Backs to Fade?

Fantasy football is a game of values. Sure, it is much more complex than that. But in its simplest form, we are all trying to find the best values to put the best team on the virtual gridiron as possible. We all seek sleepers and players that can break out and give our fantasy teams […]

Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't have an overly great value at only […]

Five Questions About the 2020 NFL Season You Want Answered

Back in 2001, Denzel Washington treated us to one of the most legendary acting performances of all time with his portrayal of Alonzo Harris in Training Day. Among his countless memorable moments in that masterpiece of a crime drama are the times he repeatedly reminds bright-eyed rookie Jake Hoyt, "It's not what you know. It's what […]

Engel's Angles: Favorite Fantasy Draft Targets by Round

You will never hear me say I was “sniped” on a fantasy football draft pick. I have several players queued up in every round and just take the top one remaining when it is my turn. Of course, though, there are players I prefer in each round if I can get them. These are my […]

Jordan Howard, Matt Breida To Complement Each Other

Miami Dolphins running backs Jordan Howard and Matt Breida are expected to share the backfield this season after the team finished last in rushing yards and last in yards per rush in 2019. Howard will offer power and is expected to be the short-yardage and goal-line back, while Breida delivers speed. Howard is third in […]

TD passes are worth four points and the starting […]

Don't Believe The Hype - Overdrafted Players in 2020

While the 2020-21 season still has some question marks due to the lingering effects of the Coronavirus, the hope is that it will be there. The season is right around the corner and drafts are heating up. With that in mind, you're seeing some players get drafted where they probably shouldn't. Guys are slipping too far, […]

DeVante Parker Excels On Contested Catches

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker had the second-most receiving yards last year on contested catches (400), behind only Kenny Golladay, according to Pro Football Focus. Parker's ability to make catches with defenders draped all over him helped him to a breakout season in 2019. He finished with career highs across the board in receptions […]

Gary Jennings Learning The Slot, Boundary Positions

Miami Dolphins second-year wide receiver Gary Jennings is learning the slot, where he had success at West Virginia, and the boundary receiver positions. If Jennings makes the team, he could be used to create mismatches on smaller, slower players. He was drafted by the Seahawks in the fourth round last year and claimed off waivers […]

Dolphins Offensive Line In Transition

Miami Dolphins right tackle Jesse Davis could be the only 2019 starter assured of a starting job in 2020. Offensive line coach Steve Marshall is the team's third offensive line coach in the last 11 months. Miami is still determining whether second-rounder Robert Hunt is better suited to play guard or tackle as a rookie. […]

Wide Receiver Standard Rankings, Tiers and Analysis

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Backfield Committees to Avoid in 2020?

In fantasy football, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his fantasy outcome--will drop without question. The […]

To help you through this process, we are going to conduct a one-man mock with IDP players […]

Tua Tagovailoa's Rookie Projection Contains Lots Of Variance

The Miami Dolphins offense this year has many question marks, including rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's role in it. The fifth overall pick has also dealt with an abbreviated offseason while he continues to rehab from hip surgery, and nobody knows how long Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the starter. Over the course of his college career, […]

Is Hopkins' Fantasy Potential Nuk'd in Arizona?

Wide receivers changing teams is often a red flag for fantasy owners. Learning a new offensive scheme while simultaneously attempting to mesh with a new quarterback can lead to unpredictable hiccups when projecting players in unfamiliar situations. In fact, since 2015, no player other than Brandin Cooks has changed teams and still finished as a […]

Sophomore RBs Set to Bust Again in 2020

One of the more difficult things to do in fantasy football is to predict player fluctuation every year. For every player who you can depend on each season (like Ezekiel Elliott), there is another that is extremely productive seemingly out of nowhere (DeVante Parker). The ability to avoid potential landmines is almost more important than […]
