Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Jason Katz
In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB Is #2 in Re-Draft?
Saquon Barkley will be the first running back drafted this year in re-draft leagues.

Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017
For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas.
