Boom or Bust - Player Predictions for Young QBs

Surely, you’ve seen one of those court shows which dominate daytime television. Judge Judy, Divorce Court, Judge Mathis… Whatever, you’ve seen at least one. If you haven’t (and happen to be a law-abiding citizen of the utmost regard who’s never had the pleasure of going to court), here’s a quick rundown of the judicial process. […]

Road to #1 Receiver - AFC East

Each year, elite wide receivers are some of the mainstays of fantasy football rosters. With high target shares and production values, these consensus top-tier wide receivers are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, […]

Why This Year's Alvin Kamara Doesn't Exist

One of the biggest pitfalls of fantasy football analysis is recency bias. Whenever something new or innovative is invented or discovered, everyone is looking for "the next (insert thing) here." In fantasy football, we constantly chase last year's production at our own peril. Alvin Kamara is coming off the single most efficient season for a […]

Malcolm Mitchell, Kenny Britt On The Bubble

New England Patriots wide receivers Malcolm Mitchell and Kenny Britt are on the roster bubble heading into training camp, with Phillip Dorsett, Riley McCarron and Braxton Berrios also in danger of being cut. That's even with Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games. Mitchell, a former fourth-round pick, missed all of last year with […]

Jordan Matthews Considered A Lock For Roster

New England Patriots wide receiver Jordan Matthews, alongside Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and Cordarrelle Patterson, is considered a lock to make the team's roster out of training camp, especially with Edelman set to serve a four-game suspension to end the year. It's believed the Patriots will come to value Matthews' versatility, smarts and cheap contract. […]

Nick Mariano's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.

Rob Gronkowski Will Not Hold Out

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will not hold out in training camp as he seeks resolution to his contract. He's expected to report to training camp on July 25, according to a source. Gronk contemplated retirement after losing the Super Bowl, but he'll be back for at least one more season. Injuries make […]

Bull Rush - Target Risers and PPR Values

BJ the Chicago Kid has a track titled “His Pain II” in which Kendrick Lamar somberly takes us on an emotional ride over a smooth piano riff and subtle bass line while wondering whether his life is coincidental or a gift from above. Now some of you might not know who Kendrick Lamar is, and […]

Trey Flowers May Not Receive Extension

Despite becoming a key piece of the New England Patriots defense, defensive end Trey Flowers isn't guaranteed to get a contract extension. He had 6.5 sacks, 45 tackles and two forced fumbles in the regular season last year and another sack and 10 tackles in the playoffs. He's also valuable because of his versatility on […]

Pay Up! Auction Draft Strategies for 2018

There’s nothing more exciting in a fantasy football auction when you have one of your top targets up and you currently have the highest bid. You hear the auctioneer yell, “Going once”, as your palms start to sweat with anticipation. “Going twice,” you think you may have just had a heart attack. “Sold!” You suddenly […]

Who's #1 at Each Position in Dynasty?

Determining the value of any dynasty player comes down to two things. First, the player's expected production in the upcoming season, and secondly their production in seasons that are years down the line. As a dynasty team owner, it is important to understand where your roster is in terms of "rebuild" or "win now" and […]

Jordan Matthews - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

I thought Jordan Matthews had sleeper appeal even before Julian Edelman was caught cheating. While Matthews' ADP has risen a bit, by no means is he costly. I know it's been a while was Matthews was "good," but hear me out. He didn't suddenly forget how to football. Matthews has an impressive college resume. He's […]

Julian Edelman's Four-Game Suspension Upheld

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman's four-game suspension was upheld by the NFL on Tuesday, meaning he'll miss the first four games of the season against the Texans, Jaguars, Lions and Dolphins. It's surely a blow to Edelman's 2018 fantasy value, but he should still be selected as a strong WR2 in PPR leagues. […]

2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]

Dynasty RB Rankings Analysis (June)

As we draw ever-closer to NFL training camps, dynasty owners are gearing up for drafts already. Many rookie drafts have already begun, but the best is the dynasty startup where you get to create a new franchise from scratch.

Joe Mixon (RB, CIN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~15 CURRENT ADP: ~25 ANALYSIS: This very well could be a breakout year for Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon. The departure of Jeremy Hill reaffirms that Mixon is unquestionably going to be the Week 1 starting running back, barring an injury. Mixon has the potential to be a three-down workhorse, and with an improved offensive line that […]

Dwayne Allen Could Be On Roster Bubble

New England Patriots tight end Dwayne Allen, who is the backup to Rob Gronkowski, could be on the roster bubble because he's due $4.5 million in base salary with a $5 million salary cap charge in 2018. That could be too high for the Patriots for a tight end who primarily blocks. The Patriots could […]

Rex Burkhead Likely To Be Goal-Line Back

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is likely to open the season as the team's goal-line back after he served in that role at times in 2017. Rookie Sony Michel will see his opportunities, but he also fumbled 12 times in college and must prove himself from a ball-security standpoint first. Mike Gillislee and […]

The Million Dollar Question - RB or WR in 2018?

What’s up fantasy Jabronis?  I’m taking a stab at answering the biggest question of all: What is the meaning of life? Is there life on other planets?

If at First You Don't Succeed... Second-Year NFL Breakouts

Do you remember your first year playing fantasy football? I can't talk about myself because I was 14 at the time and everyone in my league was essentially playing for the first time. But over the years, as I got older, I saw plenty of friends introduced to the world of fantasy sports. Many of […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)

The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before. Running the ball made a comeback this past season, as did spreading the ball around to many different pass catchers instead of zoning in one guy all the time. 24 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, compared to […]
