In the past I’ve written separate pieces on a per position basis for this article. However, QB and TE end up being so sparse that I thought I could just combine all of the articles for this year. Below are the players that I am looking at in each round of the draft in order to fill out my teams. I’ve tried to note the players that I’m especially…...

Last week we looked at supply and demand and learned how to use basic economics to approach auction drafts. Our discussion had a couple of major takeaways, one of which was that it is often best to consider positional tiers when determining the prices that we would be willing to pay for players. This is due to the laws of supply and demand and the non-linear…...

We often hear that late season performance is more important than early season performance, but one trait of elite high stakes players is an emphasis on starting fast.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing fantasy footballers that efficiency is useful. Unless you are talking about quarterbacks, I can’t really think of a good efficiency metric. When you test them to see if they predict anything, you always find that they come crashing back to the mean the next season like a garbage meteorite. But maybe that is about to change….

The August 25 Rotoworld Football Podcast included an interesting discussion of running quarterbacks and pass-catching running backs. Specifically, Josh Norris and Evan Silva noted that, compared to all QBs, running QBs are more likely to scramble and less likely to check down to RBs. This hypothesis makes sense, but so do many things that end up not being true, so I threw some numbers at it…. Membership Required...

From Matthew Stafford Looking Good: Now, though, Detroit has been in the no-huddle 62 percent of their plays during the preseason. That’s up from just 7 percent in the regular season last year… “The faster you can push the tempo, when you want to, really, it just makes it more stressful on the defense,” Stafford said….

If you weren’t paying attention, and judging by recent ADP you weren’t, Brandon Coleman started in the slot for the Saints during their second preseason game. He proceeded to see two targets from Drew Brees, while seeing six targets in the first half of the game. For the record, I know it’s easy to wildly overreact to what goes on in the preseason, so I’m not…...
