RB Theorem: Benny Friedman’s 40

By Joshua Johnson | July 16, 2019 | Comments Off on RB Theorem: Benny Friedman’s 40

Author Note: Recently, I received an email from stathead (a mailer from the great sports statistics website sports-reference.com). The email detailed the NFL statistical leaders of the 1920s. I took notice that Benny Friedman threw a league-leading 40 touchdown passes during the decade. From my past research, I knew that was a lot for the …

Tackling Machines

By Darrell Winstead | July 10, 2019 | Comments Off on Tackling Machines

In the history of the NFL, there have only been seven players that have recorded back to back seasons of 135+ tackle seasons, in their first two years in the league. This upcoming season, we could add two more to the list. Before we get to them, let’s look at some historical happenings of this occurrence. As I mentioned, we could add two more after this season, but there have been three previous instances of having multiple players accomplish this in the same season. What’s interesting is that every time this feat has happened, there has always been multiple players in the same season. Never has there only been one player at a time to accomplish this.

Every year in the NFL, dozens of star players go down with injuries that impact fantasy football. Last year was no exception, as 536 players were placed on IR in 2018.

First-Year Failings: The Struggles of Rookie Wide Receivers

By Lewis Glover | July 4, 2019 | Comments Off on First-Year Failings: The Struggles of Rookie Wide Receivers

I won’t draft a single rookie wide receiver this redraft season. It’s nothing personal against the likes of Hollywood Brown or Andy Isabella.  I just don’t expect them to produce, and I have evidence to support this belief. The odds are stacked against them, and if they do manage to buck the trend and outperform their ADP, I will sleep soundly knowing that I trusted the process over results. Read on to find out why.Playing wide receiver in the National Football League is hard. Like really hard. Shocking, I know. Some incredibly gifted talents at the position flame out in the pros, despite dominating their peers in college. Others make an impact in their rookie season, but those that do usually have a combination of both generational talent and immediate opportunity. But sometimes, receivers just need some time to get used to playing in the NFL. One of the commonly quoted theories in fantasy football is that wide receivers take up to three years to break out. Working off the assumption that this is generally true, then drafting rookie wide receivers in redraft leagues would be, by and large, a waste of draft picks. So are rookie wideouts worth drafting? I decided to find out.The hypothesis was simple – rookie wide receivers rarely match or exceed their positional ADP.While this may seem like a relatively logical, and inoffensive statement, I wanted to check the data to see if my suspicions were correct
