Welcome to the first episode of the Fantasy Football Elite Podcast series for the 2019 NFL season! Today Jeff Mans is joined by Armando Marsal from FantasyGuru.com

Structural advantages were something we discussed a while ago, and it will be the main focus of this piece for the next couple of weeks. There’s a few very important concepts I use as building blocks, that once explained, will make the success probability charts easier to apply strategy-wise. Dynasty leagues have a plethora of concepts and ideas […]

It’s no secret that the league is starting to gain more and more athletic quarterbacks. This is here to stay. With how today’s quarterbacks are raised from the different systems they play in, to the different coaches they learn under, we’re seeing a common thread among recent successful quarterbacks. If you want to make it […]

At this time it may be a bit too early for season-long league fantasy drafts, but it’s only a matter of time before they get going. It’s one of my favorite times of the year. You get together with your buddies, throw some food on the grill or order in, crack open a couple of […]

Prop bets are one of my favorite ways of beating oddsmakers. Some people have immense success betting spreads or hitting over/unders — just check out how red-hot our Elite Sports Betting site is right now with baseball — but my most successful betting has been through prop bets.
