News just broke this morning that Le’Veon Bell is facing a four-game suspension for a skipped drug test. Bell plans to appeal.

New head coach Hue Jackson, plus a bevy of new players via the draft, have actually created a bit of optimism in Cleveland. But most of it seems focused on pass catchers. I think we’re overlooking a potentially valuable running back…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

I’ll come right out and admit that I prefer the second half of nearly everything to the first. From movies to sporting events to sex, the second half just completely dominates the first. It’s almost a universal constant for me. Is the same true for running backs?… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

Source: Broncos’ Williams: QB job is Sanchez’s to lose | theScore.com “Right now, they’re giving all three of those guys equal reps, so I don’t think either one of them has created any advantage at this point, because they haven’t consistently been with the ones yet,” Williams told SiriusXM NFL Radio. “But I think, going into the camp, I think coach (Kubiak) kind of let…...

The “quantified self” is mainstream. We count steps. We track our feelings. We count the number of times our partners say “I love you” – well, most of us don’t, but some of us do. Yet when it comes to fantasy football, a hobby that lends itself to tracking, we’re as self aware as a golden retriever. Sure, Adam Harstad keeps a “fantasy journal” that’s more safe for…...

After the disaster that was Eddie Lacy’s 2015 season, it’s hard to believe that the rotund running back is going off the board in the second round of 2016 drafts as RB9. Though the majority of drafters are expecting a bounce back season, prudent owners should really think long and hard before investing significant draft capital into the fourth year back. A SQUANDERED OPPORTUNITY The…...

When I draft my fantasy football teams, I usually follow the best player available (BPA) approach. Frequently, BPA will morph into Zero RB based on the players on the board, but flexibility is the key….

Running Backs have lost some luster in fantasy circles in recent years. “Zero RB Theorem” proponents abound and it is now entirely possible to see fantasy drafts occur in which a running back isn’t even taken in the first round….

Charles Kleinheksel recently wrote about the danger of using partial-season splits to predict future performance. He showed that excluding a subset of games — say, the first half of the season — generally makes our predictions worse. That’s good to know, but it doesn’t answer the question of whether it’s useful to look at partial-season splits. Think of each game as a data point. Kleinheksel presented two…...
