The 2014 rookie running back class was the calm before the storm. Just one Pro Bowler was drafted (Devonta Freeman, fourth round) prior to the onslaught of All-Pros Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott, Christian McCaffery, and Alvin Kamara in the succeeding years. Toss in Saquon Barkley, Melvin Gordon, and Jordan Howard (among others) with Pro Bowl […]

Fantasy football enthusiasts have long called for the abolishment of kickers and D/STs. In 2018 the top kicker and 12th-highest-scoring kicker were separated by a meager 3.0 points per game. The second to 12th best D/STs scored just 2.3 PPG differently (the Bears were in a league of their own, averaging 2.7 points more than

…And on the seventh day, Patrick Mahomes rested. That’s how the legend goes, right? As grateful as I am to have my 12th round pick (and preseason breakout prediction) carrying my fantasy team to the playoffs, I am still hesitant to crown Mahomes as the greatest quarterback since, well, ever. Something about his performance makes

In this era of the Philly Special and record-breaking touchdown passes from defenders, it seems like a team is coming with a wacky new play every game.

Each year, fantasy gems slip through draft season undetected, eventually landing on the waiver wire for anyone in the league to claim. I figured it would be an interesting exercise to see if a decent fantasy team could be assembled using only waiver wire players. Will this team win a championship for me? Probably not.

The 2018 NFL Draft was not flush with wide receiver talent. Just two receivers went in the first round, the lowest total since 2010. NFL.com graded only one wide receiver prospect higher than a 6.0 this year. On the site’s ten-point scale, that grade indicates a player who should become an instant starter. In all,

Alvin Kamara burst onto the scene last season. He finished as just the second-ever rookie to have 700 rushing yards and 800 receiving yards in a season. In fact, Todd Gurley was the only other player in the league to amass those same totals in 2017, and just three total players accomplished the feat between

Four years removed from a 2013 season where he finished first in wide receiver PPR fantasy points, Demaryius Thomas posted his worst stats since 2010 and trailed fifteen other receivers in fantasy scoring. The 2017 season marked the end of a five-year streak of 90-catch, 1,000-yard seasons. Thomas failed to make the Pro Bowl for

Football is a fickle sport; every year, there are seemingly dozens of no-namers who breakout and lead fantasy squads to victory over teams of all-stars who had terrible seasons. Predicting just who the next Jared Goff or Adam Thielen is not as easy as it sounds. But numbers don’t usually lie, so I looked to

Two hundred and ninety-two days. That’s the amount of time that has elapsed from the time Ryan Tannehill tore his ACL in practice to when he ran onto the practice field, brace-free, for the Miami Dolphins’ first OTA in 2018. The number 8 overall pick in 2012 sat on the bench while his team stumbled

I’ve obsessed over Lamar Jackson since before he won the Heisman Trophy in 2016, and I want nothing more than for him to have a long, illustrious NFL career. That all depends, however, on how he first gets introduced to the league, and if the Baltimore Ravens, who traded up to select him, are willing

Dak Prescott burst onto the scene as a fourth-round pick in 2016. He then ended up taking over for an injured Tony Romo. The freshman phenom started all 16 games his rookie season but underachieved in his sophomore year. Coming off of a down year, expectations are not high for Prescott, but I believe he
