The long standoff between Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys is over, as the Cowboys finally signed the running back to a six-year, $90 million contract extension on Wednesday. Obviously, this is a massive move for the Cowboys, as they are now legitimately a darkhorse Super Bowl contender, whereas without Elliott, they might not even […]

Just two weeks ago, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett received little interest in the fantasy football realm. He was the backup to Andrew Luck; that wasn’t expected to change. Then, Luck retired, boosting Brissett from backup status to starter. Should you be interested in him for your fantasy football team? Yes, but at the end […]

Many people overdraft their quarterbacks in fantasy football drafts, only to see them bite them in the behind. Instead of doing so, you can load up on running backs and wide receivers and select one of these five options who project as good values for their average draft position (ADP) via FantasyPros. 5. Nick Foles […]

The tight end position may not be the most important to a fantasy football team, but it can often mean a squad finishes with a losing or winning season. If you draft any of these tight ends, you may find yourself reaping the benefits. 10. Jimmy Graham – Green Bay Packers Jimmy Graham is far […]

Fantasy football season is upon us. Perhaps the most valuable position in all of fantasy is the running back — especially in PPR leagues. Every year, backs seem to overplay and underplay their ADP. Here are some that will overplay theirs. ADP values are from FantasyPros.com (standard). 5. Derrius Guice – Washington Redskins ADP: 82 (PPR: 79) […]

Fellow fantasy football players, we are less than two weeks away from kickoff between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.

While we’ve written up our traditional rankings at each position, we’ve also covered our top sleepers, overhyped […]

Going into 2019, we know the primary suspects for the best running backs in fantasy football. The Saquon Barkleys, the Christian McCaffreys, the Ezekiel Elliotts (if he actually plays), etc. But what about the halfbacks who may not be taken that early but can provide great value later on? In other words, who are the […]

With everyone talking about the Aaron Joneses and Kerryon Johnsons of the world — running backs who are going to gain touches in 2019 — another subset of players is going relatively unnoticed in fantasy football circles: the guys who are going to lose totes. Well, among most people, anyway. So, here is a list […]

With the NFL regular season getting closer and closer, we are getting more and more of an idea of who the top players in Fantasy Football will be in 2019, and generally, running back is one of the easiest positions to predict. We know about the workhorses and the guys who will get the most […]

While most of the chatter in Fantasy Football is about who will see more volume heading into this season, there isn’t a whole lot of talk about whose touches will decrease, and why would there be? People like to focus on the top guys and sleepers rather than the fallers. But, nevertheless, it’s a fact […]

Before getting into the fantasy football special for the 2019 NFL Season, the Establish the Pass Podcast quickly discusses the crushing injury to Derwin James, the never-ending Antonio Brown drama, the feud that wasn’t between Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones, and Jaylon Smith’s extension. Then we dove into our fantasy football primer, covering our Tier […]

As Fantasy Football drafts near, many are looking for wide receivers to see an uptick in production in 2019. Since the NFL landscape has changed mightily since the end of 2018, especially at receiver, there are a few that will ascend the ranks at the position in terms of target share. Here are five of […]

Wide receiver is an incredibly deep position in the NFL, especially these days when passing numbers are off the charts. But in the midst of guys like Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Jr. are young, talented wideouts who could be on the verge of breakout years in 2019 and should be considered in […]

While everyone will be flocking to grab Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in their respective Fantasy Football drafts, there are some hidden gems that might slip through the cracks. To be fair, most people are probably fully aware of all of the sleeper candidates around the NFL, but not everyone will be able […]

It’s that time of year again, folks. Well yes, it is almost football season but more importantly (to some) it is already fantasy football season. With some fantasy drafts already having come and gone, many others have yet to officially get underway while the 2019-20 regular season continues to draw nearer and nearer. Because of […]

With the 2019-20 regular season now just around the corner, it is obviously time to start thinking about the most important part of the NFL — fantasy football, of course. With a slew of fantasy drafts already well underway, now seems like the perfect time to review the top 10 fantasy football wide receivers for […]

The NFL season is right around the corner. That means one very important thing, fantasy season is as well. Fantasy football leagues have been forming, having their drafts throughout the preseason, all while keeping an eye on any and all injuries. While quarterbacks typically score more points, it is hard to argue that the running […]

The number of endless preseason games can only signify that it is officially fantasy football season. In the coming weeks, people will be frantically scheduling their fantasy drafts ahead of the regular season. Before you attack the draft, you need to know which quarterbacks should be at the top of your draft board. Contrary to […]

Fantasy football is rarely won in the first, second, or third rounds. The best players can spot some NFL sleepers — or diamonds in the rough — in the late rounds and turn them into gold. Here are my top five favorite sleepers to watch for in upcoming fantasy football drafts. 5. Jakobi Meyers – […]

Obviously, guys like Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, Eric Ebron, and George Kittle are the big names among tight ends in Fantasy Football and will be drafted highly accordingly, but what about the tight ends who could have breakout seasons but are being overlooked? Here is a list of five sleeper tight ends in 2019 Fantasy […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is quickly emerging as one of the best in the NFL. With that, he’s become a fantastic fantasy football option as well. However, that doesn’t mean he’s the best option – and even he seems to feel that way. In a celebrity fantasy football draft for the “Fantasy Footballers” […]

Once upon a time, Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson was a fantasy football superstar. In his rookie season (2015) Johnson scored eight rushing touchdowns (581 yards). He also caught 36 passes for another 457 yards and four more touchdowns. Johnson then followed that up with a ridiculous sophomore season. He ran for 1,239 yards […]

Fans of football are itching to get back to indulging themselves in fantasy football like the Los Angeles Rams are itching to redeem themselves in 2019. Last season for the Rams ended astonishingly as the assertive Rams offense laid an egg in Super Bowl 53. The New England Patriots’ defense impeded the offense of the […]

While you are inching closer to your fantasy football draft, you may have to make the decision to draft either David Montgomery or Tarik Cohen. The Chicago Bears backfield has been constantly talked about leading up to fantasy football drafts. So who should you take if the clock is ticking down and you have to […]

NFL teams such as the Los Angeles Rams are nearly a month away from meaningful NFL games. That means we are inching closer to fantasy football drafts around the globe. People are beginning to do mock drafts and lay the groundwork for their plans to attack their drafts. There are some tough decisions to make […]

New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell disappointed a lot of people last season when he didn’t suit up for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it wasn’t just fans of his team that were upset, it was also people who drafted him for their fantasy football team. Bell was a first-round draft pick in most leagues […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is one of the most likable guys in the NFL, as he is very accessible, great with the media and the fans, and does not take himself too seriously. He is also known for being an avid Fantasy Football player, and this year, he is hosting a league in […]

Earlier in this NFL offseason, the Cleveland Browns caused everyone to take a double-take on their phones when they got the notification that they traded for Odell Beckham Jr. After trading for the All-Pro wideout, the expectations for the Browns has skyrocketed to another stratosphere. As everyone has talked about Beckham Jr. and what he […]

At this time last year, there was a ton of concern surrounding Andrew Luck and his shoulder injury. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback missed the entire 2017 season because of the injury, but was making his long-awaited return in 2018. The Colts got him back at the perfect time as the team focused on revamping their […]

There are three quarterbacks from the 2004 NFL Draft that are still starting under center for their respective teams. Among them, Philip Rivers of the Los Angeles Chargers may have the best shot at making the Super Bowl. The Chargers have skilled players at just about every position, and this may be the best defense […]

The New Orleans Saints are trying to maximize their chance to win a Super Bowl while Drew Brees still dons a Saints jersey. As long as Brees is under center, anything is possible. Last year, the Saints showed they have what it takes to make a push deep in the playoffs. New Orleans was a […]

Training camps are getting underway, which means that football is almost back. The Seattle Seahawks have taken to the practice field for the first time since making Russell Wilson a handsomely-paid quarterback. The Seahawks gave Wilson a deal worth $140 million over four seasons. Like Nelly, Wilson said “show me the money” and Seattle honored […]

The Green Bay Packers are in unfamiliar territory. They have missed the playoffs in the past two seasons. Some have been quick to criticize Aaron Rodgers and how the quarterback has handled his business. Earlier this offseason, the Packers announced they were hiring Matt LaFleur to replace Mike McCarthy after McCarthy spent 13 seasons with […]

I may not know much, but I do know one thing; Baker Mayfield’s stock is rising, and fast. When a quarterback gets a pairing of Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., that tends to happen. When they break the record for most touchdown passes by a rookie quarterback, it helps. On the field, Mayfield is […]

When speaking about the 2017 NFL Draft, people are quick to mention Patrick Mahomes as the best quarterback in that draft. As that might be true, Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans is also great in own right. In that draft, Mahomes was taken with the 10th overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs. Then, […]

Not many people are fans of him, but Jared Goff continues to produce at a high-level. So much so, the Los Angeles Rams were in last year’s Super Bowl due to the play from Goff and company. The result of the Super Bowl wasn’t what Goff and the Rams wanted but the journey there was […]
