Is This Dolphins RB the Next Phillip Lindsay? Fantasy Deep Sleepers

Most fantasy analysis is devoted to sorting the order of players likely to have an immediate impact, but every year there are a handful of overlooked deep sleepers who emerge to fill a starting role in redraft. Last year, it was guys like Phillip Lindsay and James Conner at running back. Deep sleepers at WR are a little harder to find, but we did tell…...

3 Non-Power-5 Devy Wide Receivers to Target

In devy leagues, Power-5 schools produce many of the top assets, and generally that makes perfect sense. Top high school prospects traditionally pick major programs to play out their college careers in hopes of improved draft stock and the chance at a national championship. But there are always a few gems at the small schools. Whether they were late-bloomers or were forced to transfer, non-Power-5-conference…...

Who Will Be the 2019 Chicago Bears? A Coaching Change Will Unleash This Absolutely Loaded Offense

The Rams hired Sean McVay in 2017, and Los Angeles more than doubled their point output from 224 to 478, a worst-to-first turnaround that set the stage for 2018’s league-wide offensive revival. Meanwhile, Doug Pederson, Andy Reid disciple and second-year head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, led his team to a 41-33 Super Bowl victory over the Patriots. They were the third-highest scoring team in…...

Modern Fantasy RB1s and RB2s Look Nothing Alike: Redraft Strategy for the Passing Revolution, Part 3

Welcome to my NFL Passing Revolution series, where I examine how the NFL’s shift towards efficient pass-heavy offenses has affected the landscape of fantasy football. In Part 2 of this series, I investigated how fantasy RB1s have changed over the last 17 years — most notably over the last two. Beginning in 2017, we observed an unprecedented improvement in receiving production that has re-defined the…...

The Fantasy RB1 Revival: Redraft Strategy for the Passing Revolution, Part 2

In Part 1 of this series, I investigated the NFL’s passing revolution through the prism of global statistical trends. I noted that last season marked a pivotal uptick in overall efficiency (rather than pass/run ratio), which also substantially lifted running backs’ yards per carry average across the league. I also highlighted how fantasy RB1s have recently made a resurgence in receiving production. In this installment,…...

Why Buy Dante Pettis When This WR is Cheaper?

I’m a dented can kind of man — if I can get the same product for cheaper and spend the savings elsewhere, I’m in. That’s the concept behind our “Why Buy?” series, which is inspired by Fantasy Douche’s Getting Something for Nothing article penned back in 2013. Whatever you want to call it — arbitrage, discount shopping, or simply fading overpriced players — there’s no…...

Boom or Bust: Why D’Onta Foreman Has Become A Zero RB Target

When using the Zero RB strategy, owners target wide receivers and tight ends in the early rounds. Even if an early running back is drafted, teams using this strategy generally are weaker at the running back position. If a Zero RB team can hit on running backs who have value later on in the draft, they are set up very well to succeed. This year…...

How the NFL’s Passing Revolution Affects Fantasy Redraft Strategy

Last Season Was Historic The 2018-19 NFL season may be best-remembered as the dawn of the so-called “passing revolution.” Sure, we’ve witnessed the NFL’s gradual shift towards efficient passing offenses over the last two decades, but last season was on another level. Patrick Mahomes took the league by storm en route to NFL MVP honors. He posted a ludicrous 5,097-50-12 passing line, which ranks eighth…...

There are certain people who, when they tweet something, it should be noted well. Jeremy Hardt, the former host of the RotoViz Mailbag show, is in my honest opinion, one such person.

When The Devy Breaks: 2019 Big Ten Opportunity Report

Opportunity is the most important factor to consider when analyzing fantasy football. Whether it’s at the NFL level or in college, the more pass attempts, carries, and targets that a player gets, the better. It’s far from an exact science. But last year’s opportunity reports highlighted the likes of Eno Benjamin, Jalen Reagor, Hakeem Butler, and Miles Sanders as targets in devy leagues set to…...

Third-Year Breakout WRs: 8 Stats You Need to Know and Why 2019 Is Loaded With Candidates

From 2001 to 2013, fantasy owners watched as 19 third-year wide receivers hit 200 points for the first time. Over the following four years, only Davante Adams managed the feat, and buzz over the third-year WR breakout disappeared. Even during the earlier era, second-year receivers still held a sizable edge. They’ve now widened that lead considerably as NFL offenses scheme to unleash their highly-drafted stars…...

2 Mid-Round Tight Ends That Will Supercharge Your Best Ball Teams

It’s here. Dread it. Run from it. It still arrives. Of course, I am talking about the Tight End Renaissance (as some have called it). For years, the tight end position has been dominated by one or two names at the top. Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, the like. That changed last year. George Kittle broke the wall, finishing as the TE3 in PPR…...

Fantasy’s 8 Most Explosive ‘Breather’ Backs and How to Exploit Their Crazy ADPs

Shawn Siegele looks at the eight most explosive NFL “breather” backs and explains how to exploit their sometimes silly, occasionally ridiculous, and always crazy 2019 ADPs. I have an admission to make. I love the small backs, and I love the freakish athletes. I love run to daylight and have little interest in three yards and a cloud of dust. But, even more than how…...

A Historical Perspective On SFB9 Scoring

We are less than a week from the kickoff of the 2019 Scott Fish Bowl (#SFB9). The scoring format is largely unchanged from last year and it still includes a points-per-first-down scoring component and a points-per-reception component. Given the video games theme for #SFB9, Scott Fish has incorporated a bonus scoring component. The added five points for every 50 yards threshold a player crosses will…...
