We are living at the peak of a war. Two sides have divided, and plenty of blood has been shed. One world will never be the same. That world, of course, is the world of fantasy football. Dynasty Fantasy Football, to be exact. The two sides in the endless pursuit of proving their superiority are

For football degenerates, the offseason is way too long. From the morning after the Super Bowl, to the month before the draft, to OTAs, training camps and the preseason, we are dying for any kind of pigskin content to fill our fix. NFL team reporters, a.k.a. beat writers, are football-loving humans just like we are,

Football is one of the most physical and violent activities on planet Earth. What we all know is nearly (sorry, Jarvis Landry) every one of these players are in the top-1 percent of athletes in the world and they all can ball. Somehow, though, the top-1 percent of the top-1 percent of athletes are sometimes

If you have ever researched Fantasy Football, you’ve probably heard the saying, “You can’t win your league early on, but you can lose it.” In most cases, that proves to be true, but fantasy analysts are completely missing the opposite end of spectrum. In the late rounds of your fantasy draft and even in the

You’ve probably heard this line before, but it’s definitely worth repeating: everyone makes mistakes. Some more than others; some worse than others. Some mistakes can offset a project, a relationship, or even a potential career. Whenever you run into that old friend at the bar or diner and you start to reminisce, those mistakes

The NFL GM The job of general managers in professional sports involve loads of projecting. The name of the game is not acquiring talent who have performed well, but talent who will perform well in the future. Specifically, in football, “NFL” can also stand for “Not For Long”, as one good year doesn’t guarantee a

One of my favorite ways to get my football fix in, especially during the off-season, is by playing Madden. The game only gets more life-like with every new edition that is released, but it can be just as enjoyable than a football arcade game due to the vast details you can manage. A top option,

As humans, our impulses always draw us to the new and shiny things. From the day we were given that shiny new toy car at the age of 2, we were always looking for the flashier, fresher object. Even as adults, our focus does not deter away from the newest and most recent items to

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably played backyard football with your buddies at least a few times. There’s also a pretty good chance you were a team captain on a few occasions. For me, it was always a struggle to pick between the bigger and more athletic friend versus the smaller, less athletic friend that

We all have our own personal “that guy” in sports. The one that we put so much trust into, and the same one who blew up in our faces. This is especially true in fantasy football. Coming into last year, I was fairly high on then-sophomore rusher, Jeremy Hill. In his inaugural NFL season, Hill

When you see a rather unknown player break out from the middle of the pack and become a quality contributor, some questions may surface in your head. Multiple things could have sparked that breakout, whether it be a new coaching scheme, philosophy, more playing time, or a newly discovered commitment by the player. On the

Human beings love to see rivalries. Strength versus Strength. Skill versus Skill. Mono y Mono. Organizations, such as the NFL, love these as well – it’s all about the money, and every ounce of hype will result in that many more dollars for them in the end. Before the 2016 NFL Draft, neither Jared Goff

A popular saying in fantasy football is talent…trumps all. In fact, I am one of the biggest proponents of that argument. In most cases, a talented player will rise to the top of the depth chart and show what he can do relatively quickly, and obviously some quicker than others. In other cases, wide receivers

Is it better to be the only game in town, or to be in a town filled with game? This is a question that has been pondered for years, and not just in fantasy football. We’re going to find out how option one pans out when Corey Coleman takes the field for the eternally-disappointing Cleveland

Yes! They took him! Eat, Drink and be Merry! Oh, sorry about that, I was just reliving my feelings from April 29th, 2016. That night in Chicago when Jerry Reese and the front office of my hometown Giants made the majority of their fans jump for joy with one of their decisions. That decision, of

Rookies and rookie draft picks are without a doubt the most fluid currency in dynasty football. Some value them like gold, selling their most coveted veteran assets to get a piece of them, while others avoid them like the plague. These trends are extremely discrepant due to one reason: the unknown. Those who target rookies

It goes without saying that the NFL is an extremely exciting organization. Millions upon millions of fans spend countless hours focusing on the league, their players, etc., whether games are being played or not. In my opinion, this can be directly attributed to their efficiency and execution of proper planning and structural organization. The organizers

As you may know, the quarterback helms the most important position on a football field. This is due, in part, because he is the man touching the ball the most–by far. If there is a game where one team snaps the ball for 60 plays, a single running back might touch the ball only a
