Don’t Roster Developmental Tight Ends! But If You Must, Here’s How

The average rookie tight end resides in fantasy purgatory longer than the lifespan of the average dynasty league. Developmental tight ends are the ultimate roster cloggers. And why should we expect anything else when even the very best tight ends are flukes — rookies that landed with elite coaching staffs on teams with basically zero NFL-caliber wide receivers. Rob Gronkowski, George Kittle, Travis Kelce. Remember…...

The Most Overlooked Rookie Wide Receiver Is Also One of the Most Athletic

Training camp is in full swing and the narrative engines are roaring to life as football analysts attempt to add context to the 2020 rookie class. Cam Akers had an inept offensive line at Florida State. Jalen Reagor suffered from terrible quarterback play at TCU. Henry Ruggs faced unprecedented wide receiver competition at Alabama. This type of context can be helpful, but the Ruggses and…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 9: Second Half RBs to Target and a Dark Horse Tight End

Robby Anderson is probably a small winner of the trade deadline by staying put. Kenyan Drake most likely puts the kibosh on Chase Edmonds’ momentary stardom. And Josh Gordon to the Seahawks tosses a little cold water on my Jacob Hollister recommendation. But all in all a pretty quiet trade deadline as usual. Let’s take a look at some players that should be trending up…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 8: Tom Brady Adds a WR and the Falcons Vacate Some Targets

There’s an enormous amount of turbulence in the league with the trade deadline approaching on October 29. We’ve already seen a few dominoes fall, but it would be no surprise to see more with the tanking battle including more teams than the Dolphins would’ve hoped for. Miami might even start paying cash for other teams to take their starters. In the midst of the turmoil,…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 7: Risky Business and an Open Runway for the Jets

Injuries have created some intriguing opportunities to either acquire or unload massive amounts of risk in the form of first and second-round running backs and wide receivers. Let’s examine a few ways to exploit these situations based on your team’s needs. QUARTERBACK Buy Philip Rivers As the pre-season QB16, there’s a decent chance that the team with Rivers has a viable alternative and will flip…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 6: Steady Pass-Catching RBs and a WR1 Hiding in Plain Sight

The injuries are hitting fast and furious at this point, and plenty of middle of the pack teams need to be thinking of one-for-two deals to bolster the depth of their starting roster. Let’s take a look at some of the best options to target in what can be win-win trades for both teams. QUARTERBACK Buy Jacoby Brissett Brissett still doesn’t get a ton of respect,…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 5: Waiting for Goff, Man, Plus Two RB2s Every Team Should Target

The bye weeks are hitting in earnest now, and those summer sleepers are getting harder and harder to dedicate roster space to. Now is when the front-runners can leverage those Ws in the bank to fill their benches with the Zero RB darlings who have yet to blossom. Let’s take a look at some Week 5 fantasy trades that can position your team for success…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 4: Eschew the Minshew and Some Counterintuitive RB Moves

With plenty of teams starting 0-3, managers are breaking free from their preseason player values, and some big name trades will be more possible than ever. It’s a good time to get aggressive targeting those big pieces if your best-laid plans of August have left you with dangerous holes in your starting lineup. QUARTERBACK Sell Gardner Minshew People love Minshew and people are also desperate…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 3: He’s Got Legs, Does He Know How To Use Them?

There’s been a nearly overwhelming amount of developing injury news throughout this week. My general advice for the teams with questionable quarterbacking is downgrade everyone on those teams that isn’t a clear cut No. 1 option. But in the midst of so much uncertainty, let’s focus on buying the under-reaction and selling the over-reaction through two weeks. QUARTERBACK With so many teams scrambling to replace…...

Talkin’ Trades Week 2: Big Jock Hock and a Cornucopia of ‘Zona WRs

We’ve got a late edition Talkin’ Trades this week, as John Solis and I spent most of the week trapped in the lab putting together the debut episode of our new podcast The Solis Report.

Talkin’ Trades: Kansas City RBs and the Last Minute Money Moves

Talkin’ Trades back again. Doing a little Week Zero swing. This is a tricky time for trading in most leagues, as there’s not much to react to since our drafts, and most managers are firmly anchored to their draft day valuations. This column is about the change in player values as situations shift, so there will be much more grist for the mill after a…...

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Is Going To Be A Problem and 4 More Takeaways from Thursday Night’s Games

Historically, the third preseason game is the “dress rehearsal” for the regular season that formalizes depth charts and reveals lingering camp battles. Teams seem to be increasingly aggressive about sitting their starters in recent years, which complicates the picture. Oakland, for example, benched basically their entire active game day offense. We’ve never had more information about preseason than we do today, and yet we feel…...

What the Heck Do We Do with Josh Gordon?

I am very much here for the Sixth Coming of our Gord and Savior. But that doesn’t mean I have the faintest inkling of how it will all play out. The Patriots have placed Josh Gordon on the Non-Football Injury list for the time being, but they dropped Dontrelle Inman when Gordon was reinstated, so all signs point to Gordon being a part of this…...

Preseason Week 2 Update: How to Take Advantage of Green Bay’s Cloudy RB Depth Chart

Green Bay presents a peculiar dilemma for drafters. Aaron Jones is slightly overpriced as the lead back in a committee at RB16, which typically opens up value for the secondary back. However, drafters have no real confidence in how the RB2 situation is going to shake out, driving Jamaal Williams’ ADP all the way down to RB66. Add in Williams’ balky hamstring, and plenty of…...

Vaccinate Your Fantasy Team Against an AB Negative Outcome

There are currently head to toe problems with Jon Gruden’s flashy new wide receiver acquisition in Oakland. While it will be an abject disaster for the Raiders if Antonio Brown misses games, who are the fantasy players that stand to benefit? Fortunately, we have a pretty good model for that outcome, since the Raiders ditched their star receiver on purpose last year after Week 6,…...

Finding Phillip Lindsay: 1 Rookie RB Poised for a Massive Depth Chart Climb

We don’t know if a Phillip Lindsay lurks in the 2019 rookie class. But we do know the conditions that cultivated his breakout season. If we can identify that Goldilocks Zone that sustains fantasy life on the deepest of depth charts, maybe we find another. This summer, there is one team whose depth chart bears an intriguing resemblance to the 2018 Broncos–and one player on…...
