Running Back Stat Sleepers - Missed Tackles Forced

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of running backs, considering overall elusiveness is arguably the best way to determine how good (or bad) a player's performance was. And that's what this is all about. I will […]

The Perfect Pair: Turning Mid-Round QBs Into QB1 Value

Since 2015, I've been in a fantasy football league with a guy whose sole mission on draft day is to select Tom Brady. And when I say it is his sole mission, I do not mean he takes four or five backs and receivers and then grabs Brady a round early just to make sure […]

2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper: Ronald Jones

Ronald Jones II has caused fantasy football players more problems over his short career than a malfunctioning stat service. Jones’ rookie campaign was a nightmare Freddy Krueger would have been proud of. He only suited up for nine games due to various problems ranging from injury to just flat out not being prepared to play […]

The King's FLEX Draft Observations: Superflex Picks and Strategies

As much as Tout Wars is a signal that fantasy baseball season has officially started, the FLEX Leagues are an important signpost that officially proclaim we have entered the fantasy football portion of the calendar.

Running Back Stat Busts - Missed Tackles Forced

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of running backs, considering overall elusiveness is arguably the best way to determine how good (or bad) a player's performance was. And that's what this is all about.

Under The Radar WR Signings: Fantasy Risers or Fallers?

Due to the ongoing pandemic facing this nation and the world, the 2020 NFL offseason has been a little tough to navigate given the lack of mini-camps and OTAs. The biggest names on the free-agent market this year were Amari Cooper and A.J. Green, both of whom stayed with their respective clubs. However, just because […]

The King's FFPC Pros vs. Joes Best Ball Slim Draft

At the end of July, I took on a major fantasy football test. I participated in the first of several Pros vs. Joes FFPC drafts. The Pros vs. Joes Challenge was founded over a decade ago by the Fantasy Football Players Championship and Darren Armani of FantasyMojo.com in an effort to have top fantasy experts […]

Da'Mari Scott Opts Out

New York Giants wide receiver/kick returner Da'Mari Scott has elected to opt out of the 2020 NFL season. Scott has mostly been a special teams contributor when active. He was active for five games last season and three in 2018 for the Bills. Scott has caught two passes in his career, for a total of […]

Competitive Receiving Corps to Avoid in 2020 Drafts

We're talking about fantasy football here, and 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 wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring […]

Yes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is a First-Round Pick

Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be a top-10 RB going off the board in the first round. That statement shouldn’t be controversial, but people are always hesitant to pay that high of a price for a player we haven’t seen in the NFL before. But you should not let that fear scare you from drafting CEH. Clyde […]

Saquon Barkley "A Bigger, More Physical" Barry Sanders

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was labeled by Washington Football Team's Adrian Peterson as a "bigger, more physical" Barry Sanders, while also adding that he could be the "greatest ever." Although the Penn State alum has a way to go before even being considered for such an honor, he has plenty of buzz […]

Under-The-Radar RB Signings: Fantasy Risers or Fallers?

The 2020 NFL offseason has been a little tough to navigate given the lack of mini-camps and OTAs because of the pandemic. The free-agent running back market was hot early, with Melvin Gordon III signing with the Denver Broncos, Todd Gurley II signing with the Atlanta Falcons and Jordan Howard with the Miami Dolphins, but […]

ADP Variations: NFFC Overvalued and Undervalued

As you prepare for each draft, multiple factors are incorporated into your analysis of every selection. In addition to considering the specifics of your league’s scoring and lineup composition, your decision-making process can involve researching data, reviewing film, studying the tendencies of offensive decision-makers, and generating projections for each performer. Your draft planning will also […]

WR/TE Stat Analysis: Catch Rate and Drawn Pass Interference

When it comes to drafting stud wide receivers and tight ends, we all pursue the same stats: receptions, yards, and touchdowns. It makes sense. Those three stats are the ones that ultimately yield actual, tangible fantasy points in every fantasy league, no matter the format. The savviest fantasy GMs often focus on targets, as without […]

Giants Sign Chandler Catanzaro

The New York Giants agreed to sign kicker Chandler Catanzaro to a one-year deal. Catanzaro "retired" in August, but likely wasn't too hard to convince to come back onto the field. He's kicked for the Panthers, Bucs, Jets, and Cardinals in his career, making 83.8 percent of his field goal attempts. The signing comes after […]

The King's Fantasy Football One-Man Mock Draft

This is my latest one-man mock exercise of 2020 as the new season inches closer. I put myself in the draft chairs and minds of every owner in an advance look at the 2020 season. The four rounds of this early one-man mock are based on a 12-team, full PPR format. I have considered roster […]

Saquon Barkley Appears Bigger Than Ever

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, who has been posting workout videos via social media during the offseason, appears to have bulked up even more heading into the season. Though Christian McCaffrey remains the consensus No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts for the upcoming 2020 campaign, the case could be made for Barkley […]

Damien Harris is the Answer at RB for New England

As it currently stands, the New England Patriots' backfield is a mess. For the most part, this is more-so by design rather than personnel. The Patriots run one of the heaviest split backfields in the NFL from year-to-year. We would be in the right to call Bill Belichick a "Running Backs Don't Matter" truther, save […]

Aldrick Rosas Charged In Hit-And-Run Incident

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was formally charged with three misdemeanors as a result of a hit-and-run incident in June. Rosas was charged with reckless driving, hit-and-run property damage and driving while suspended/revoked for DUI of alcohol/drugs. Rosas was a Pro Bowler in 2018 but struggled mightily last season, connecting on just 12 of […]

Top Five Backfields To Handcuff in Fantasy Drafts

One of the most crucial things a fantasy player can do is have the foresight to build a lineup that maximizes talent while also minimizing the risk of player injuries or holdouts. This process is even more important looking to the 2020 season with the added risk of COVID-19 sidelining players. My previous articles looked […]

New York Giants 2020 Fantasy Outlook

2019 was just another year filled with struggles for those New York Football Giants. The G-Men quickly benched longtime QB starter Eli Manning after just two starts (both losses) and tossed rookie Daniel Jones (the much-maligned sixth pick in the 2019 draft) into the fire in just Week 3. Though the rookie QB played an […]

Saquon Barkley Predicted To Lead League In Rushing

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley could be the league's leading rusher this season, according to Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton. Barkley is predicted to run for nearly 1,500 yards and could benefit immensely from the arrival of former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. The 23-year-old struggled in 2019 after dealing with a high-ankle sprain […]

Leonard Williams Expected To Play Under Franchise Tag

New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams is expected to play the 2020 season under the franchise tag. According to Ian Rapoport, the two sides are on the same page that Williams will play under the tag ahead of Wednesday's deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign extensions. The hope is he excels in a new […]

Rookies Expected to Struggle Early in 2020

If you know how DFS football works, then you know every week you have the chance to pick the best-looking players for the scheduled slate of games. For those playing season-long leagues, that's not an option. Once you draft your team you must stick to your decisions and only make minimal tweaks through the waiver […]
