I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to test my belief that pass-catching backs are significantly more important to fantasy football today than just a few years ago…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

Most years, an SEC receiver who broke out at age 18 and had a SPARQ[1]a composite metric that expresses overall athleticism score in the 70th percentile of all NFL wideouts would be a darling of the draft community. This year, Malcolm Mitchell has flown largely under the radar, despite being exactly the player I just described. So, what gives? Let’s dive into the career and athleticism…...

I love rookie running backs. Every year it seems that I find one (or seven) to tie myself to for both re-draft and dynasty. Rookie RBs are usually cheap relative to similarly talented veterans, and opportunity cost matters a ton in re-draft leagues….

With Alshon Jeffery being franchise tagged, most believe this year’s free agent wide receiver class to be pretty underwhelming. Travis Benjamin, Marvin Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Rueben Randle, and Anquan Boldin are the biggest name free agents to hit the market, but none of them are actually the best receiver available. Dolphins receiver Rishard Matthews quietly had one of the most efficient seasons in the league…...

What if I told you that one of the most athletic running backs in the draft could also be acquired for a late round pick and is perfectly suited for today’s NFL, is that something you might be interested in? We’ve spilled a decent number of words covering combine phenom Tyler Ervin over the past week including this piece by Shawn Siegele and this piece…...

Free agency begins March 15th, and the league’s overall 1.01 is clear: King Lamar Miller. As Ben Gretch explained, getting re-signed by Miami to stay and play for Adam Gase would be just fine, but if Miller moves on, where would he be best for fantasy purposes? I mean, damn near anywhere, but some cities are more attractive than others. DALLAS This one is obvious…....

This week NASCAR heads to it’s second consecutive 1.5 mile oval as teams make their way to Sin City to race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Sunday’s race will be 100 miles shorter than last week’s race at Atlanta, resulting in only 267 laps instead of 325. This means it’s only slightly less important than Atlanta to roster the drivers that will dominate the race. But…...

The top two running backs in this draft class are almost unanimously believed to be Ezekiel Elliott and Derrick Henry. But who is the third-best RB? May I suggest combine stud Daniel Lasco? He’s my current RB3. Here’s why I like Lasco, and more critically why I prefer him to backs like Kenneth Dixon, C.J. Prosise, and others. Why Lasco? Kevin Cole recently ran a regression tree analysis to find…...

From Twitter: The Patriots have released Brandon LaFell and Scott Chandler. — Tom E. Curran (@tomecurran) March 2, 2016 It’s not like the Patriots ever have a wide receiver corps full of thoroughbreds or anything, but the release of LaFell leaves them pretty bare even by Patriots standards. They have Julian Edelman, but beyond that things get pretty fucking sad. But it’s not like they have…...

Before the 2016 NFL combine, we made a wish list of eight things we wanted to happen. Did we get what we wanted? And what do the actual results mean? Let’s check in. 1) We Didn’t Want Laquon Treadwell to Run the Forty …And he didn’t. The reasoning was that there had been a lot of talk about Treadwell having poor athleticism and opting out…...

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a two-year contract with quarterback Sam Bradford, keeping Bradford off the free-agent market without using the franchise tag. The deal is worth $36 million, with $26 million of that guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. – ESPN… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?

Rob Gronkowski and Jordan Reed had remarkably similar 2015 seasons. Both had 11 touchdowns and they had similar yardage and reception totals, with Reed having more receptions and Gronk having more yards. But even despite that, you’d probably be surprised to see how similar their 2016 seasons are projected to be. So what should you do about it in redraft and dynasty given their dramatically different prices? The…...

Last weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway featured great racing all through the pack. The combination of tire wear, sunny weather, and a low downforce aerodynamic package all contributed to race cars that were tough to handle. Yet the drivers performed admirably, with only three total cautions coming out. Only two of these were for driver incidents, both within the last two green…...

Four quick post-NFL combine observations. Three running backs to take note of, one wide receiver to be cautious of. Josh Doctson I noticed some Rotoworld blurbs over the weekend comparing Josh Doctson to DeAndre Hopkins. On the surface, that’s a good comp. Except for one small detail. Josh Doctson will be 23.1 years old at the end of his final college season-year. Hopkins was just 20.5 years…...
