The 2024 fantasy football season is officially here! With RotoViz TriFlex leagues and the Never-Too-Early Best Ball Tournament in full swing over at the FFPC, along with the Big Board tournament going live on Underdog, it is a great time to be alive.

Is Quentin Johnston the Next Davante Adams, or the Next Stephen Hill?

Player development is not linear. It is important to remember this. Not every player is going to burst out of the blocks as a rookie and become a superstar. Similarly, not every slow starter in the NFL is destined for a career of frustrated hopes and dreams. The 2014 rookie wide receiver class spoiled it for everyone, with the playmakers that emerged from that group…...

The Underwear Olympics are over for another season, with the 2024 NFL scouting combine in the rearview mirror. The prospects have been prodded, poked, and posed endless questions. It’s been great fun. But what lessons have we learned about some of the prospects as draft season progresses to its next stage? I’ve had a look at six tight ends who all had different experiences over…...

5 Sleepers Rise As 3 Big Names Disappoint: 2024 Running Back Freak Scores

Freak scores have long been a key metric we use to help predict wide receiver touchdown-scoring potential. Big and fast WRs have several key advantages over their smaller, slower counterparts that tend to lead to an increase in touchdown production at the NFL level, and thus an increase in fantasy upside. In the last couple years, we’ve also been able to apply this concept to…...

Records Are Broken and Multiple Potential Stars Emerge: 2024 Wide Receiver Freak Scores

The 2024 class of wide receivers has been hyped as one of the best in recent memory. The combine gave many of the top names in the class a chance to show that the hype is deserved. Although we didn’t get to see the truly elite prospects compete, the 2024 combine was certainly not without fireworks. But now that the dust has settled, we need…...

The Unbelievable Athleticism of Roman Wilson, and 7 Other Players to Watch at the Combine

Although many of the top prospects in this year’s draft are opting out of participating at the combine, for many under-the-radar draft hopefuls, the annual athletic testing still makes a big difference. Many prospects are in a position to augment their prospect profiles by revealing athleticism that didn’t show up in the box score. Many others will try to confirm that the numbers we rely…...

Always, Always, Always Do This One Simple Thing in Your Dynasty Leagues, but Also, Maybe Not Every Time

In dynasty, each player has two values: a production value — how much that player earns for your lineup this game this season for this championship — and a market value: how much a player could yield in a transaction. Those values don’t always match. Market values weigh potential heavily, and in football, potential exists in the young. Hope exists in the unseen. Excitement looms…...

Bijan Robinson’s Rookie Season Looked a Bit Like Trent Richardson’s, But There Is No Need to Panic Yet

Bijan Robinson came into the NFL heralded as the best running back prospect since Saquon Barkley. His landing with the Atlanta Falcons, and Arthur Smith’s skills in utilizing the ground game in his offense, made mouths water at the prospect of what his first season in the league could be like. It’s fair to say that the early returns were . . . underwhelming. But…...

We’re here. Part five. The end of the road. I’ve now laid out all the calls I’ve made in 2023 that could be construed in any way as an affirmation or declaration. The next step in my process is to go over each one and consider what made the call go right, wrong, or somewhere in between. After passing through them all, I’m left with…...

A 2023 Self-Appraisal: Transparency, Accountability, and the Pursuit of Betterment, Part 4 – Weeks 13-16

“Self-examination, the observation of one’s own experience, is the very root of the intelligence.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti. Using self-examination to accept the person you are could be worthwhile for your mental health, but it can’t generally improve your performance at a craft. Using self-examination to become better requires action. And it begins with an honest evaluation of what you have been doing and what results…...

Did Zero RB Work in 2023? Part 1: A Brief Analysis of Some of the Best Drafts of the Year – The Wrong Read

2023 was a strange season in at least one way. It was the first time that the Win the Flex tool didn’t unapologetically recommend a Zero-RB strategy. As wide receivers got pushed up draft boards and running backs got pushed down, it looked as though value would coalesce around early RBs. In such a season, it may seem that Zero RB is sub-optimal. When it’s…...

The Houston Texans Might Have the Next Andrew Luck at Quarterback in C.J. Stroud

Sometimes, we are successful not because of the decisions we made, but because of the decisions we did not make. And sometimes, we are successful because of the decisions someone else did not make. It is early days, of course, but right now the Houston Texans are the big winners because the Carolina Panthers chose to draft Bryce Young. This left them free to select,…...
