Buying Into Golden Tate and His Exceptionally High Floor

Yesterday we turned on our Draft Optimizer for 2015 using staff projections that are regularly being updated. The Draft Optimizer is a great way to get ideas for your fantasy draft without wasting any of the short time you’re here on earth in a mock draft lobby.

Streaming Defenses in My Fantasy League MFL10s

Chances are you’re probably familiar with the concept of streaming defenses. This is a common strategy for the savvy weekly fantasy league owner. The idea of streaming a team defense in a best ball, draft only league format like My Fantasy League MFL10s allows you to opportunistically draft a player like Rueben Randle instead of the Seattle Defense in the 12th round or Alex Smith as your QB2 instead of…...
