Shawn Siegele uses the FFPC Redraft Command Center to keep you up to date after a crazy weekend of player movement. The biggest week of fantasy football drafting is here.

Shawn Siegele
August 23, 2019
With high stakes drafts happening fast and furious, Shawn Siegele uses the FFPC Redraft Dashboard to reverse engineer a roster. As Curtis Patrick and I prepare for our FFPC Main Event draft in a few hours, it’s vital for us to know which players we might select late. If our late-round selections are mostly WRs, we might feel more comfortable deviating from Zero RB in…...

Shawn Siegele
August 23, 2019
Welcome to the 2019 Zero RB target list where we help you find inexpensive RBs to destroy your league. The list isn’t just for Zero RB owners. You can use the list to construct a Zero RB squad, to fill out your 1-Elite-RB roster, or to build Flex upside into a RB-heavy start. With his 2018 picks hitting at a high rate, Shawn won his…...

The Bounceback WR Indicators Give Us Options in Different Tiers – A Strong Buy, 3 Sneaky Selections, and a Deep Sleeper
Shawn Siegele

We’re now up to 57 installments of my favorite fantasy football series: The Wrong Read by Blair Andrews. Today we turn our attention to the statistical indicators in No. 46, The Anatomy of a Bounceback. Five bounceback gems are hiding in plain sight, each of them ready to rise from the fantasy ashes. Everyone has an opinion on the best bounceback candidates, but do those…...

Using the Draft Dashboard to Plot a Fantasy Team Selected Exclusively From Explosive Offenses
Shawn Siegele
August 19, 2019
The Draft Dashboard is a powerful tool to prepare for drafts and to dominate the real thing. Now available in both web and excel versions, it gives you a wealth of information at your fingertips when you’re on the clock, and it’s also a flexible mock draft tool that allows you to work through a variety of scenarios and formats. Today, I’m going to deploy…...
A Surprisingly Simple Way to Identify Breakout RBs and the 5 Players You Should Be Targeting Now
Shawn Siegele
August 16, 2019
A couple of days ago, we discussed a quick hack for finding the top breakout WRs. Yesterday, we noted that some of the biggest FFPC risers are on a collision course with the RB Priority Window. What if we could use these two pieces of information to supercharge our RB breakout picks? Another Metric That Suggests You Will Profit By Selecting Good Players We’ll begin…...
These 4 FFPC Risers Are Moving Into the RB Priority Target Window
Shawn Siegele
August 15, 2019
Injuries, trades, holdouts, and preseason performances are shaking up the average draft positions for key players in FFPC contests. In many cases, these players were wildly undervalued before their rises began, and they still have room to provide value. But to profit, you must draft them before it’s too late. Four of the top-five risers are must-buys at their current prices. The fifth is a…...
This Rookie Receiver Checks All of the Same Boxes Michael Thomas Checked in 2016
Shawn Siegele
August 15, 2019
Frequent readers are familiar with my wide receiver breakout obsession. We know second-year WRs are among the best buys in all of fantasy football, and we also have a quick hack for separating the breakouts from the busts. By contrast, rookie WRs have not been a good play in this regard. FFPC champion and high-stakes expert Monty Phan avoids them in his team constructions, and…...
One Quick Hack Can Have You Drafting the Right Second-Year WR Breakout Candidates By Lunch on the West Coast
Shawn Siegele
August 14, 2019
We spend a lot of time on breakout wide receivers. Selecting the right candidates can launch you into contention for $500,000. By contrast, grabbing members of the all-hype team will cost you a crucial pick in the middle rounds. I recently did a deep dive into the history of second-year WR breakouts, and my look at the second-year WR model will be published next week…....
Your FFPC Safety Net At the Critical TE Position Is Literally Free
Shawn Siegele
August 13, 2019
Tight end premium scoring is one of the best elements of the FFPC. In many other formats, drafters can simply spend the single-digit rounds loading up at running back and wide receiver. The FFPC forces you to consider TE, and consider it early. Travis Kelce currently sits at 6.6 in FFPC drafts, five slots earlier than he’s going in Fanball. George Kittle and Zach Ertz…...
My August Board – Updating the Changes From July and Expanding the Priority Targets to 31
Shawn Siegele
August 12, 2019
Shawn Siegele is putting the finishing touches on his annual Zero RB candidates and Breakout WR lists, and today he offers an updated behind-the-scenes look at the players he’s selecting in 2019 drafts. Last year, his priority targets included advice to do whatever it takes to acquire Christian McCaffrey and to select Tyler Boyd in the last round of every draft. With the preseason upon us, I’m updating the list…...
Miles Sanders and Kenyan Drake Headline the Biggest Movers – 5 Risers and 5 Fallers in the FFPC
Shawn Siegele
August 9, 2019
The superstars may be insulated, but for everyone else, livelihoods rest on the result of each training camp practice. Fantasy owners sit on the edge of their collective seats, waiting for each new highlight, each new beat report, each new coaching interview. Missing a single solitary revelation could be the difference between drafting D’Onta Foreman 15 minutes after he’s been released or waiting too long…...
Sam Darnold May Be The Reason Denny Carter Didn’t Draft A QB In Apex Experts (Again)
Shawn Siegele
August 9, 2019
Denny Carter doesn’t draft quarterbacks in the Apex Experts League, and it doesn’t slow him down. Last year, he won the title. Only 15 QBs were taken during this year’s festivities. Since the experts are playing this out for cash, we can assume they believe it’s the best way to win. Ben Roethlisberger, Kirk Cousins, Mitchell Trubisky, Josh Allen, and Tom Brady weren’t selected. Tom…...
I Own Marquez Valdes-Scantling Everywhere – Time to Sell or Should We Keep Buying the Kenny Golladay Clone?
Shawn Siegele
August 8, 2019
Over the last 100 days, Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the No. 1 riser at the wide receiver position. He’s screamed up 127 picks during that time, continuing to rise since Cort Smith profiled his ascent a month ago. As an older, former small-school receiver with big-time athleticism, Valdes-Scantling shares a lot of attributes with 2018 breakout star Kenny Golladay. But the differences may be crucial. Can…...
Two James White Dopplegangers Have One Key Metric In Their Favor As They Try to Replicate His Breakout
Shawn Siegele
August 8, 2019
Last season James White ranked No. 6 and Tarik Cohen slotted in at No. 5 on our target list of the best Zero RB Candidates. They finished at RB7 and RB11 overall. Both players are going off the board at palatable ADPs again in 2019. But what if we had a quick hack for finding the next breakout receiving backs at an even greater discount? …...
