High Upside Dart Throw: Van Jefferson

All Access / By /

Van Jefferson is not on anyone’s fantasy radar coming into drafts this season. Quietly selected in the second round of the 2020 draft, Jefferson walks into his rookie season with one of the best offensive schemes in the NFL. Other highly drafted prospects like Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Pittman are getting the majority of the attention from the fantasy community. However, I believe Van Jefferson may be the most underrated and unheralded rookie of the 2020 class, and someone that could bring you sneaky value this upcoming fantasy season.

Tight End Spotlight: Mike Gesicki

Dynasty / By /

In fantasy football, the tight end position is somewhat of an enigma. Most leagues require you to start at least one, which is hard enough by itself. Other leagues, for whatever reason (all kidding aside), require you to start two. While the elite tight ends are usually pretty easy to identify, they require significant draft capital to acquire and cost you valuable depth at other positions on your roster.

RB Theorem | Chpt. IV: Mr. Under-Appreciated

Dynasty / By /

As a kid one my best friends was NFL films. I have revealed this countless times on various podcasts. This was not because I was a total booger eating loser. It was simply by choice.

The success rate on first-round receivers in recent years has been low.
