The Patriots receiver corps has been lacking in recent years. In an attempt to bolster it, they’ve traded a 2023 third-round pick in return for DeVante Parker and a 2022 fifth. This makes sense for the Dolphins too after a blockbuster trade for Tyreek Hill gives them some major upside but meant fewer opportunities for Parker. But how much of an upgrade is this for…...

The breakup of Davante Adams and the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers is a seismic shift in the fantasy football landscape with significant reverberations for the outlooks of both the Packers and the Raiders. Michael Hitchcock did a great job teasing out how the move impacts Adams’ value and the pieces around him. In this article, I’ll be talking about how things might shakeout for the Packers…....

The Chiefs have reportedly signed JuJu Smith-Schuster to a one-year, $10.75 million contract. And all is right with the world. The Chiefs have also replaced Tyreek Hill with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, so um, not so much. When the news broke yesterday, I was 2,000 words into a Smith-Schuster piece that waxed philosophic about a 48-year stretch where the Chiefs were 4-16 in the playoffs, including seven…...

The NFL offseason news keeps popping up on our timelines, yet it was possible to miss a few under-the-radar signings by James Washington, Boston Scott, and Ameer Abdullah. Washington joins the Cowboys, while Scott re-joined the Eagles. Meanwhile, the once elite prospect in Abdullah joins his sixth team — the Las Vegas Raiders — entering his fifth season. We’ll dive into the advanced metrics and…...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed Leonard Fournette to a three-year, $21 million contract, and he immediately regains his status as one of the most valuable players in fantasy. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. And sometimes it’s better to be competent than flashy. When you hit on that combo, you don’t want to let it get away from you, and Fournette didn’t. Back…...

Two more tight ends have landed on new teams in the early days of the 2022 NFL league year. Gerald Everett, a long-time favorite of your humble author, and Austin Hooper have signed for the Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans respectively. Everett’s deal is a two-year pact worth $12m, while Hooper will earn half of this in half the time. While these players begin…...

After a slow first couple of days, it’s turned into a wild week in the NFL. Davante Adams is heading to the Raiders after a trade for a first- and second-round pick. With a suddenly impressive group of targets, can Derek Carr deliver an elite fantasy season? Allen Robinson finally has an elite QB and receiver opposite him. Is that enough to rehab his value after being a zero in 2021? Is Russell Gage the new…...

The Indianapolis Colts traded Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders and just acquired Matt Ryan from the Falcons. Although there’s a conditional pick involved, the cumulative impact appears to be moving up in both the second and third rounds of the 2022 draft and gaining an additional 2023 second-rounder. Of course, the biggest win is simply not having Wentz as your QB. Can the move…...

The Atlanta Falcons re-signed Cordarrelle Patterson to a two-year, $10.5 million contract. Michael Hitchcock looks at whether his 2021 was an aberration and if he’ll face more competition for touches. After a slow first couple of days, it’s turned into a wild week in the NFL. Davante Adams is heading to the Raiders after a trade for a first- and second-round pick. With a suddenly…...

Deshaun Watson is accused of sexually assaulting 22 women. Many of the details are disgusting. It feels odd to be writing about him purely through the lens of fantasy football in the face of such allegations. However, we are playing a game of numbers based on NFL outcomes with money on the line. Therefore a thorough understanding of how he impacts the fantasy landscape is…...

The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t wait too long to fill the gap on their roster left by C.J. Uzomah after he signed with the New York Jets. They signed Hayden Hurst, a former first-round draft pick of their AFC North rivals Baltimore Ravens, to a one-year deal after he left the Atlanta Falcons. Going into his fifth NFL season, and on his third team, is Hurst…...

Just when we think things are starting to cool down in the NFL, they get scorching hot. It seemed like until Deshaun Watson decided on his next team, player movement would be at a standstill. We could have not of been more wrong. Davante Adams is being traded to the Raiders and signing a massive contract extension. This obviously has major implications for Adams himself…...

Free Agency is going full steam ahead. This week we saw Christian Kirk sign a massive deal with the Jaguars, but is that the right place for him? Chase Edmonds made his way to Miami, but can he be a true three-down back? James Conner now has top-five upside as the lead back in Arizona. Now we turn our attention to Allen Robinson’s contract with the…...
