Free Agency Predictions: Quarterbacks

By |2020-10-21T18:08:51-04:00March 1st, 2020|On Air, Podcast|

2020 NFL Free Agent Predictions: Quarterbacks  Drew Brees (41):  Brees is one of the easier free agent targets to predict in the quarterback position. I don't see any scenario where he leaves New Orleans, despite the team's high praise of super utility quarterback Taysom Hill. While Taysom Hill may also be a priority re-signing of the Saints, look for Brees to sign a one or two-year deal [...]

Handcuff Report

By |2020-10-21T18:09:10-04:00August 22nd, 2019|tools|

We are approaching the biggest fantasy draft weekends of season, so it is important to stay up to date with each team's handcuff in the event you draft the starting running back. I get it, not every team has a featured back, and not everyone likes to follow the handcuff strategy. Those that don't, are usually the ones throwing a temper tantrum when their starting running back gets hurt, [...]

Exceeding Expectations: Players To Outperform their ADP

By |2020-10-21T18:09:32-04:00August 13th, 2019|archive|

Anyone can draft in rounds 1,2 and 3, but leagues are won with those later picks that hit. The ones that give you value way beyond where you drafted them. Finding those players isn't as easy, and even if you know who you they are, having them land to you at a particular round takes a bit of luck too. Are these guys "sleepers"? I suppose you can look [...]

Naive? Maybe..Maybe Not: KC Chiefs

By |2020-10-21T18:09:50-04:00August 3rd, 2019|archive|

The Madden 20 cover boy, is the darling of the NFL right now...And rightfully so. Completing 66% of his passes for over 5,000 yards and 50, yes FIFTY touchdowns is nothing short of remarkable. 2018 was Mahome's first season as the Chief's starter, and he added to those gaudy numbers by rushing for an additional 270 yards and two more touchdowns. That type of performance unsurprisingly [...]

Player Tiers

By |2020-10-21T18:11:19-04:00July 26th, 2019|Content, tools|

Player tiers is a way to group players at the same position with similar fantasy production. Putting players into tiers could be one of the most useful techniques used when drafting your team. Tiers give you a sense of how many players are available for a particular position, and at what level. While the traditional cheat sheets are nice to have too, we recommend you show up for your draft [...]

Fantasy Impact: Rookie Wide Recievers

By |2021-02-13T18:20:57-05:00July 15th, 2019|archive, Fantasy Impact|

Rookie Fantasy Impact Wide Receivers Rookie wide receivers generally have less of a fantasy impact than that of the running backs, and rightfully so. Receivers have the tough task of knowing the routes for the entire playbook, and getting on the same page as the quarterback. Over the years, you will see many fantasy outlets, ourselves included, that publishes an article based on 3rd year wide receivers. The general [...]

ALSO AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD/PRINT A handcuff is the insurance policy for the star running back on your fantasy team. Usually, but not always,  it is the player that is #2 on teams depth chart. Owning your running back’s handcuff has been the thing “to do” in fantasy football as fantasy football as evolved over the years. Injuries are evident. It’s just that type of game. However, not everyone is [...]
