Early 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: RB Return On Investment

When it comes to Return on Investment (ROI), I keep things as simple as I can. I just take a player's ADP entering the season and divide it by his season-end final ranking among all players in the league.
