The Resurgence of the Packers Offense, 2016 Projections

The Green Bay Packers were a major disappointment for fantasy drafters in 2015. Aaron Rodgers played a full season but was unable to crack the top five of quarterback rankings. Eddie Lacy got outscored by James Starks. Randall Cobb struggled as the leader of the receiving corps and DaVante Adams, who was being drafted in the fourth round of drafts, barely eclipsed 100 PPR points.

Larry Fitzgerald is Old, But He’s Also a Value

Jason Lewis has been doing some great work talking about age premium and how it is hurting your dynasty rosters. Age is not stigmatized quite as much in redraft as it is in dynasty, but it always seems to give us a value that is exploitable. Larry Fitzgerald is one such player, and you need to be attacking his current ADP with gusto this summer….

Kelvin Benjamin‘s 2014 output is the type of thing you pray for when selecting rookie prospects in redraft leagues.
