Week three is in the books. We are gaining clarity on how NFL offenses are going to perform, which gives us fantasy owners more confidence in how to handle our roster going forward. However, there are still some situations that remain unclear. In this article, I will cover some currently murky player situations to enable you to not only act appropriately, but with confidence.

This past football Sunday is one that truly tests your talent and team evaluation skills as a fantasy owner. Week 2 was headlined by a Browns receiver in the top 5, a veteran’s fantasy value re-emergence, and a second year star on the rise. Should we expect these surprise performances to become the new norm, or is it simply a blip on the radar? Travis Benjamin –…...

Week 1 is in the books. With the limited sample size, fantasy owners have to evaluate good and bad performances with a keen eye to ensure they are buying into players expected to provide season long value and sell guys that appear to simply be a “blip on the radar.” Luckily, I’m here to help you out with some guys that had surprise performances in Week 1…...

Fantasy football is a game of variable analysis. Every week, we are attempting to optimize our lineup depending on our various players’ match-ups in order to maximize point scoring potential. However, as point differential typically makes no difference in the outcome,[1]aka defeating our opponent by one point as opposed to 31 points is the same outcome should we also be evaluating our opponent’s lineup and its potential range…...

Early in the offseason, many analysts in the fantasy football community predicted Nick Toon would win the open competition in the Saints’ training camp for the third wide receiver position. Recent reports from New Orleans’ beat writers appear to be proving these initial predictions incorrect. The beneficiary of this recent development is a 23 year old undrafted wide receiver from Rutgers. That man’s name is Brandon Coleman and…...

With upper echelon fantasy tight ends becoming increasingly more scarce, the strategy of utilizing late round TE squads is growing ever more popular. To summarize the concept for those unfamiliar, the concept is to pair a high floor TE with a high upside TE to aim for high point scoring potential at a relatively cheap price while providing your team with a decent baseline TE in case of emergency. In this article,…...

Jordan Matthews has been a prominent topic of discussion leading up to drafts in 2015. As of today, his ADP is in the mid fourth round at wide receiver 17 overall. Some in the fantasy football community are quite pessimistic on his outlook, feeling he may be significantly overvalued given his image as a “big slot receiver” that is a tier below other second year players. However, I feel he is a prime…...

There are several running back competition and committee situations going into the 2015 NFL season. One of the less discussed instances is the situation in Oakland. With a new head coach in Jack Del Rio and a new offensive coordinator in Bill Musgrave, the pair are looking to significantly improve upon the team’s basement level rushing rank of #32 last season. Leading the way thus far are…...

One of the more fantasy relevant transactions in this year’s free agency period was the signing of Julius Thomas to Jacksonville. Appearing almost out of nowhere in 2013, JT seemed poised to make a jump into the elite Rob Gronkowski/Jimmy Graham tier in fantasy, only to be hampered by knee and ankle issues for the majority of his final season in Denver. However, we have a…...

  The excitement for the third year Arizona wide receiver entering 2014 was immense. Many analysts predicted he’d take the next step in his career and develop into a WR1 in fantasy football. Sadly, this did not occur. There were many surface issues that appeared to contribute, such as the emergence of John Brown and the carousel of quarterbacks throwing the football for the Cardinals. Was…...

  In this article, I discuss the issue of whether Justin Forsett was the beneficiary of a lucky situation in Baltimore or a man who had seized an opportunity he has long been competing for. There are many doubters, with some reaching a legitimate conclusion considering we are speaking of a 5’8”, 197-pound running back that will turn 30 in October. Bounced Around, But Always Effective In his…...
