An annual fruitful exercise, finding where teams have lost targets from the year prior can be the skeleton key to finding fantasy value in the upcoming season. Outside of major coaching changes in offensive philosophy, most of these targets stay intact with the team. They’re just simply redistributed to new additions or to the incumbents. […]
Superflex Dynasty Mock Draft Recap
I recently participated in an industry Superflex dynasty mock draft with several drafters at 4for4 and Fantrax. Mock drafts are a useful exercise to help prepare you for the real thing. You can get a sense of ADP, practice different strategies, and learn what to do (and more importantly what not to do) when faced […]
NFC Minicamp Review – Week 1
Last week saw the first round of minicamps come to a close. While these practices are without pads, this first glimpse can provide some valuable information in terms of which players are standing out, who needs additional work, and where we could see some depth chart shuffling. We’ve already taken a look at how the […]
AFC Minicamp Review – Week 1
Last week saw the first round of minicamps come to a close. These mandatory practices are one of the first glimpses we get to see of how each team’s offseason additions and subtractions have paid off. While these practices are without pads, this first glimpse can provide some valuable information in terms of which players […]
Tyler’s Thoughts – Tearing Down the Tier 2 Tight Ends
This week’s “Tyler’s Thoughts” analyzes a new topic on a subject that I feel strongly about, yet drafters don’t seem to share similar confidence. That immediately made me want to start writing about why my conviction is so high in my early rankings. I’m talking about breaking down the second tier of tight ends. While some […]
Friday Fantasy Focus – Curtis Samuel
Welcome to the inaugural installment of the #FridayFantasyFocus! Each week I plan on zooming in on a particular player that has caught my interest for any number of reasons. Perhaps they’ve seen a sharp spike in ADP. Maybe they’re entering a new offensive system? Or possibly they’re just a player I’m eager to learn more […]
Fantasy’s Cheapest Feature Backs
Diving a little bit into the early ADP pools, it’s never too early to start finding this year’s value plays. While OTA’s and minicamps are underway, there aren’t any other significant milestones left on the NFL calendar until training camp. Rosters are fairly set until we get a chance to see some actual competition for […]
Futures Bet: Which Receiver will Lead the League in Receiving Yards?
I’m a value seeker when looking for futures. I’ll take a few of the most obvious bets on the board, but I’m also out there looking for the rare +500 bets and above to throw a few bones at and hope it skyrockets into a large sum. One of my favorite futures I found while […]
Reviewing Red Zone Efficiency of Running Backs in 2018
I’m a staunch believer in targets and touches being the priority for everything we should be focusing on when forecasting future fantasy production. Volume drives fantasy production. We’ve seen plenty of inefficient players bumble their way to a top fantasy finish due to volume, but it’s rare that efficiency can top volume. Last year’s prime […]
Bestball Late Round Targets
Following ADP can help you get started in the early rounds, but sometimes it’s the late-round dart throws that you take that can help differentiate your roster from the competition. These are generally players that have a couple question marks surrounding them — playing time, role, depth chart, target volume, etc. — but can often […]
