I’ve heard smart people say, when asked about the 2017 class of prospects, “there’s no Amari Cooper here.”[1]Okay, I’ve only heard one person say that. But I’m pretty sure it was Evan Silva, and he’s smarter than a lot of other fantasy analysts put together. In other words, there’s no can’t-miss prospect who checks every box and is the consensus No. 1 pick in dynasty…...

Robert Davis was drafted with the 209th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins. The Redskins lost DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, but Davis still enters a crowded depth chart, with Washington previously making some big offseason moves.

Jamaal Williams was drafted with the 134th overall pick by the Green Bay Packers as they look for an early-down runner to complement pass-catching back Ty Montgomery.

Williams was a workhorse in college who accounted for more than 40 percent of BYU’s…...

Tarik Cohen was drafted 119th overall by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Bears add to their running back depth behind Jordan Howard, as Cohen will compete for a role with Jeremy Langford, Benny Cunningham, and KaDeem Carey…....

Yes, you’re looking at the right image. Wayne Gallman. And yes, this is the same Wayne Gallman who couldn’t get out of the first round of the RotoViz March Madness RB Bracket against a player who’s not even a true running back…....

Cooper Kupp is arguably the most prolific receiver in NCAA history—certainly in FCS history. He amassed 428 catches for 6,464 yards and 73 TDs during his four seasons at Eastern Washington. Draft analysts project him to go as high as the second round and as low as the fifth round. Considering his production and possible pedigree, we ought to get to know him…....

Before the 2016 season, I made some efficiency-agnostic projections. The idea was to test whether accurate projections could ignore efficiency. Could we make decent projections by assuming league-average efficiency across the board?…...

The 2017 class of running backs is often noted for its depth and star power. But this focus on the stars tends to overlook some possibly valuable assets available later in the draft. This article introduces some of these potential hidden gems at the running back position…....

Attention last-minute drafters! Before you go all late-round QB on your league’s collective asses, it might help you to know exactly which QB you ought to target. More to the point, it would help you to know which offenses are most likely to see some regression in terms of pass tendency. …...
