Wide receivers have been prioritized by dynasty owners in recent years, as the movement toward running-back-by-committee and relatively short shelf-life of running backs has made them a more volatile commodity.

Dolphins Could Pursue C.J. Anderson

With Denver Broncos running back C.J.

NFL Draft Sleepers - Braxton Berrios

This year's crop of wide receivers hasn't generated nearly as much enthusiasm as last year.

Stashing players in your dynasty leagues is one of the most fun, yet simultaneously frustrating aspects of dynasty league fantasy football.

Early 2018 Sleepers: TE

The early outlook for 2018 for fantasy football’s top tight ends is as bright as a summer’s day at the Jersey Shore. 2017 was a decent season for the tight end position in fantasy football.

[…]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Quarterbacks

The quarterback position saw plenty of volatility in 2017, as 58 different quarterbacks started at least one game. And that's just for the Cleveland Browns...
