Shawn Siegele discusses the players he wants to own in all fantasy leagues, regardless of format. Last weekend I had the chance to draft a $100,000 FFPC best ball tournament team with Zachary Krueger on his show, Roster Locked. In the question-and-answer session, I mentioned that I don’t diversify my rosters quite as much as some fantasy players. I’m willing to own a high concentration…...

There was great excitement within the Las Vegas Raiders after taking Henry Ruggs III with the 12th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. Ruggs had blazed a 4.27 forty-yard dash time in the pre-draft process, and the feeling was that the Raiders had found their own version of Tyreek Hill. This would give them an offensive piece to use as they attempted to go…...

Wide receiver is a position that the Philadelphia Eagles have struggled to get production from in recent years. You have to go back to 2014 for the last time an Eagles wideout — Jeremy Maclin — crested 1,000 receiving yards. But they have certainly tried to find playmakers at the WR spot over the years. A year after re-acquiring DeSean Jackson and drafting J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, neither of…...

Going into the 2020 NFL season, the Denver Broncos offense had the hallmarks of a unit that could surprise the league. While not 100% sure that Drew Lock was the answer at quarterback, the Broncos were going to give him a chance to succeed. They already had Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant, but in the first round of the draft, they added Alabama wide receiver…...

Back in March 2020, a revered and much-respected writer for RotoViz[1]This writer looks a bit like me, and even lives in my house. wrote that Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could be the Deebo Samuel of the 2020 NFL Draft. As if to amplify this comparison, the same team that drafted Samuel in 2019, the San Francisco 49ers, took the plunge and spent the…...

Before the 2020 NFL Draft, many NFL analysts, pundits, and prognosticators believed the Philadelphia Eagles would spend their first-round pick on a wide receiver. A large chunk of this group also believed that the player they would choose would be LSU WR Justin Jefferson. The Minnesota Vikings were also sure of this, as evidenced by their joy when the Eagles instead selected TCU speedster, Jalen…...

One of the goals of the fantasy manager is to obtain players who form part of potent offenses. So when the Kansas City Chiefs spent a first-round draft pick on LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire last year, hopes were understandably high that the player would be an asset to fantasy managers as early as his rookie season. While he had his moments, there seemed to…...

When the NFL’s most prolific rushing attack adds an explosive rookie running back with an early-round draft pick, people have the right to get excited. This was certainly the case in 2020 when the Baltimore Ravens selected J.K. Dobbins in the second round of the NFL Draft. Dobbins had his moments in his first season. But just how good a year was it? Dobbins is…...
