Dynasty Analysis
Ownership percentage is a big factor to take in when considering picking a player. It does not take a genius to play Julio against TB when he is projected to be over 20% owned. You can use people playing chalk to your advantage. Example being TJ Yeldon, who is projected to be 23% owned this […]
In The Scrapheap Challenge, I will be sifting my way through the players left in free agency in at least 60% of leagues, after waivers have processed, to put together a line-up that could win a matchup each game week. According to fantasyoutliers.com, in a 12 team PPR league (QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, WR/RB Flex, […]
Streaming. If you play fantasy sports, you’ve probably occasionally heard the term thrown around. Fantasywired.com provides a great definition: “In short, streaming is the strategy of plucking a player at a specific position (usually QB, DEF, K, or TE) off the waiver wire ahead of a favorable matchup the following week.” Many people criticize the […]
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. But are these play calls a sign of season-long tendencies, or just a flash in the pan? I’ll attempt to determine the fantasy implications of a unique play […]
Last year when this series debuted, I wanted to help shed light on one of my favorite tricks in Fantasy Football, Waiver Wire Sniping. The strategy is simple. Without compromising your roster (of course), look to see if you have an available roster spot or a player that you were holding as a possible fill-in […]
Well, the new season is in full swing. NFL teams and fantasy owners are getting a feel for their rosters. Lots of questions have now been answered, and things have become more clear. With those answers in place, we can now look at whose stock went up or down and what this means for your […]
This week I will again be focusing on GPP (Guaranteed Prize Pool) tournament plays for Week 6 of the NFL main slate on Draftkings. I’ll go through multiple picks at each position at varying salaries, so that no matter how you are constructing a line-up this week one of these guys will slot right in. […]
What to Look For Oh, the old AFC East, i.e. [profiler]Tom Brady[/profiler] Town. The Patriots own this division like Chef Bobby Flay owns meat, period–you’ve never had a perfect steak if you haven’t had a Bobby steak. With wins by Buffalo and the Jets last week, the race for last place has just gotten a […]
As we approach the halfway point of the season, let’s look at how each team’s first-round selection has graded out so far. Browns – Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma A The Browns have built a roster full of talent and the only thing missing was a QB to go along with it. After passing on several high-level […]
The NFC South has been more similar to the “Wild West” than it has the “Deep South” this year. The Falcons are 1-4. Calvin Ridley is outscoring Julio Jones in Fantasy. Jameis Winston is being challenged for the starting job by Ryan Fitzpatrick… It’s a weird little division. That’s why I’m here to bring you […]
In this weekly article, @LowOwnedWR brings you his budget plays for the FanDuel main slate, using AirYards Data from airyards.com. AirYards are the total number of yards the ball travels through the air before being caught or incomplete. It is awesome for seeing the volume pass catchers are getting. Hypothetical example being Kamara has 3 […]

What to Watch For: Will any team in this division finish with a winning record? I think it’s a wait-and-see but…probably not. As bad as this division looked this week with all the teams taking a loss, it seems like an 8-8 record will win the division. With Josh Norman getting benched at halftime because […]

Let’s take a look at how last week’s IDP recommendations panned out in week 5: Starts: DeForest Buckner (4 TT) Solomon Thomas (1 Tackle) Mason Foster (10 TT) Tahir Whitehead (9 TT) Reshad Jones (8 TT) Verdict: A solid week for under the radar projections, lead by Foster and Whitehead at linebacker. While Buckner didn’t record a sack, he still had a decent week for a lineman: 4/5 […]
One of the tools long known to the daily fantasy sports (DFS) community, but not often used by the season-long fantasy sports player, is how to use the Las Vegas gambling lines for fantasy. The point spread, or “line,” on sporting events can help you as a fantasy owner when it’s time to build a […]
Snap counts are essential for IDP. Tackles, sacks, and interceptions are really hard to get when you’re standing on the sidelines. Watching snap counts rise and fall is the first step in finding sleepers who are about to break out and players who are on the decline. Baltimore Ravens [profiler]CJ Mosley[/profiler] and [profiler]Eric Weddle[/profiler] both […]

Back in August, I wrote a piece looking at what opportunities are likely to present themselves to the rookie QB’s from this year’s draft. Now we are a good way into the season with week five in the books I thought I would look back to that article to see where I went right/wrong. I […]
Deep within the relevance of a quality offense, a rookie named Addai emerged as the perfect cog to the Peyton Manning machine. This Rookie Stunner Series is based around first round RBs (from 2005-2014) who reached (or clawed) at the 1,200 yards from scrimmage plateau. Also for Dynasty and illustration purposes, I break down how […]
A weird Week 5 comes to a close, and the waiver wire is pretty bare. Regardless, we’re here to give you and your fantasy team some names to help you fill in for bye weeks or injuries. This week the Saints and Lions go on bye, so… well, there aren’t many IDP guys you need […]
