Fantasy football owners — and the Tennessee Titans — can say the 2020 season is likely one Julio Jones can refer to as “the past.” In what was his final year with the Atlanta Falcons before being swept up in a lauded trade by the Tennessee Titans, the former Alabama wide receiver near his career […]

Football season is just around the corner, and it’s time to get ready for an NFL fantasy football draft. The tight end position is often a tough choice for fantasy owners to make, as it’s hard to determine when to draft them. There are multiple tiers of tight ends, and each fantasy draft has them […]

Like last year’s Stefon Diggs and Justin Jefferson, it’s impossible to predict which wide receivers will break out to join the ranks of the elite. But, taking looks into previous seasons’ underlying metrics, tracking personnel and coaching changes, and much more can help us to spot those breakouts ready to happen. Without further ado, let’s […]

The value of a handcuff goes hand-in-hand with the most frustrating and unpredictable dynamics of fantasy football: injuries and snap counts. Determining a handcuff’s value is all about assessing whether it’s worth using a roster spot on a player who might never sniff value over the course of a full season, simply to hedge a […]

With the NFL season right around the corner, it’s time to get back in the groove of fantasy football. The top fantasy football running backs play a detrimental role in the fantasy world, as they provide a huge advantage in weekly matchups. Typically, all of the best running backs fly off the board rather quickly. […]

Through two seasons of the Odell Beckham Jr. experiment in Cleveland, things have not gone according to plan. He struggled through the first seven games of last season, averaging under 50 receiving yards per game, and once his season ended with a torn ACL, the Browns offense seemed to take off, as they averaged over […]

After battling injuries and inconsistency for his first few years in the league, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook finally put it all together last year. Amassing almost 2,000 yards from scrimmage, Cook finally got the proverbial monkeys off of his back: the doubts that he could ever carry a star’s production out for the […]

The passing game for the Baltimore Ravens is a tough element of their offense to project, especially with the willingness to lean on the running game more than anything. But by bringing in Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman in the first round, Lamar Jackson may finally have his top target moving forward, providing an outlet from relying […]

There’s a new sheriff in Los Angeles. Following his trade from the Detroit Lions, quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to get the Rams over the hump this year in place of Jared Goff. For Stafford, it’s a big change of scenery. While he’s spent much of his career on bad teams with solid offensive talent […]

Entering the league known more for his speed and elusiveness than his abilities as a wide receiver, the New York Giants (after moving down in a trade) decided to add to their wide receiver core by selecting Florida’s Kadarius Toney. Adding Toney to an offensive core that already includes Saquon Barkley, Daniel Jones, and offseason […]

Relying on Jalen Reagor and Travis Fulgham certainly is not cutting it for the wide receiver core for the Philadelphia Eagles, making their selection of Alabama wideout DeVonta Smith in the first round an easy route to take. For head coach Nick Sirianni, pairing a former Crimson Tide wide receiver in Smith with a former […]

Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals is coming off a rookie campaign in which he suffered a horrific left knee injury. The injury included a torn ACL and MCL, which ended his impressive rookie season and thwarted his fantasy football possibilities. Burrow was playing great before going down and will look to recover as we […]

As the leader of the Cleveland Browns and their run-heavy offense, quarterback Baker Mayfield has an interesting outlook in fantasy football. Mayfield has been up and down in his career but for the most part has been consistently above average. With the offensive weapons he has however, above average can look a lot better. With […]

During the 2021 NFL Draft, not many people expected the Chicago Bears to wind up with star quarterback Justin Fields. But after Fields fell in the draft, the Bears traded up and selected the former Ohio State gunslinger with the No. 11 pick. When looking at Fields’ college tape, his play screams superstar potential. Just […]

Heading into 2021, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is one of fantasy’s most polarizing players. Despite missing a combined 17 games over the last two seasons due to injury, Barkley is still being drafted at an ADP of 6 (RB5) on ESPN Fantasy as of August 7th. On the flip side, there’s a […]

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has constantly proven his top-tier status as each NFL season passes. Fantasy football owners can appreciate this. His unreal athleticism makes him dangerous all over the field, far and wide. His strength comes into play for numerous situations, such as run-blocking, pass-blocking and contested catches. His speed is […]

New Orleans Saints’ very own Michael Thomas was once considered one of the best wide receivers to play in the NFL. His sticky hands allow him to beat any defender. His strength is something to be reckoned with. Most of all, he is a short route running master. Known as “slant boy” to many, he […]

The Buffalo Bills had one of the best offenses in the league last year and that expanded into fantasy football. Stefon Diggs slept on heading into fantasy drafts prior to the start of the 2020 NFL Season. However, after his impressive campaign with Josh Allen under center, expectations are high for Stefon Diggs’ fantasy football […]

A look at the final results of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s 2020 season reveals a disappointing campaign – maybe even evidence of a step lost due to the heavy volume he’s carried since the start of his career. Zeke missed only one start, yet still failed to reach 1,000 rushing and make the […]

Green Bay Packers‘ wide receiver Davante Adams had a monster season in 2020, as, despite missing 2 full games, he paced all receivers in touchdowns and was top 5 in receiving yards, en route to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection and first All-Pro First Team selection. And, with future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers back […]

Derrick “King” Henry, fresh off of an incredible season that saw him amass over 2,000 rushing yards en route to winning Offensive Player of the Year honors, looks to exact his vengeance on opposing NFL defenses, there’s no reason to believe he’s slowing down. Despite his low involvement in the passing game, the Tennessee Titans’ […]

After many rumors swirled in the offseason, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has returned. Rodgers will look to build upon his MVP season with another great season, a point of interest for fantasy football players. It was a career year for Rodgers, but he fell just one game short of the Super Bowl for […]

Darren Waller is coming off of two stellar seasons in which he finished top 3 at the tight end position. Waller, who came into the NFL as a wide receiver, has become almost a fantasy cheat code at the oft-barren TE position. As he and the Las Vegas Raiders head into the 2021 campaign having […]

If you played fantasy football at all during last year’s 2020 campaign, you’d remember that Dak Prescott set the fantasy football world on fire for the first 5 weeks of the season, as he was on pace to shatter the all-time single-season passing yards record, before suffering a compound ankle fracture in a Week 5 […]

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was a key cog in the team’s 2020 season, which saw them finish with an 11-5 record and ultimately ended an 18-year playoff drought. Even though they came up short against the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and […]

Josh Allen is coming off a career year in which he led the Buffalo Bills to the AFC Championship Game. Allen, a fantasy football star, finished second in NFL MVP voting this past season, only trailing Aaron Rodgers. The Bills brought in superstar wide receiver Stefon Diggs before the 2020 season, which was a big […]

Tyreek Hill’s status as one the most explosive athletes in the NFL continued throughout the 2020 season. In a year which included his outstanding first quarter domination against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he posted almost 1400 total yards and 17 total touchdowns. As the No. 1 receiving threat for the dominant Kansas City Chiefs, he […]

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce exceeded expectations once again as he concluded yet another stellar campaign for the 2020 season. However, even with his massive contributions on the field,  the Chiefs still came up short in their Super Bowl LV tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Heading to the 2021 season, Kelce […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are led offensively by quarterback Justin Herbert, who had a tremendous rookie campaign. Herbert broke multiple rookie records in 2020, including most passing touchdowns with 31 and most completions with 396. Pro Bowl center Corey Linsley was brought in via free agency, and the Chargers drafted offensive tackle Rashawn Slater in […]

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson comes into the upcoming 2021-2022 NFL season with plenty of expectations. In a campaign last season where many projected that the Seahawks would pull off a deep playoff run in the NFC, they fell short of fulfilling such expectations following their 2021 NFC Wild Card elimination at the hands of […]

Alvin Kamara has a big year ahead of him. He is easily one of the best running backs in the NFL. Not only is he effective between the tackles, but Sean Payton schemes passing plays his way as well. For this reason, Kamara is one of the most prolific fantasy football options in the running […]

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are set up for yet another big year. This franchise works wonders for fantasy football, as Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill produce elite fantasy football numbers. Mahomes is one of the best players in the league and it translates to the fantasy world as well. With a […]

After having a stellar breakout season in 2019, Carolina Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey failed to replicate the same success in 2020 as he has been bugged by a high ankle sprain and a season-ending shoulder injury. Despite having a tough year, the former Stanford talent has already recovered from his injuries and is […]

The ageless wonder that is Tom Brady will be competing in his 22nd season in the NFL. At 43 years old, Brady seems to be on pace to play through the age of 45, as that is his current goal. Last year, Brady proved that he doesn’t need Bill Belichick to win Super Bowls. He […]
