NFL

The NFL is built upon what college football provides. Every year, there’s a focus on incoming rookies and players who are going to make impacts for their new teams, but where did those players come from? What did they look like as underclassmen in college? How productive were they? The goal of this article is […]

A quick review of my methods:  I’m studying from 2002 to the present and only looking at Tm Defensive (Tm D) fantasy scoring, NOT defense AND special teams (D/ST) scoring.  Here’s the scoring system I’m using: Interceptions = 2 FP Fumble Recoveries by the Defense = 2 FP Sacks = 1 FP Safeties = 2 […]

Patrick Mahomes exploded into America’s football consciousness in 2018, not just with over 5000 passing yards and 50+ TD throws, but with left-handed tosses, no-look passes, Tarkenton-like scrambles culminating in passes for scores, side-arm flicks, a pre-season bomb almost 70 yards in the air, etc. etc.  Given his amazing stats, and relatively low draft position, […]

This mock is based on how I would draft them and doesn’t reflect the current […]

The NFL season NEVER ends and here on Fantasy Guru football is LIFE. The 2019 NFL year begins on Monday March 11th and with that a plethora of players will become free agents in search of a new team.  Our motto here at Fantasy Guru is simple: Put It On Tape. We don’t believe in […]

Believe it or not, we are entering the midway point of the AAF regular season. It’s been a pretty wild ride so far with some big ups and equally depressing downs. We’ve built an entire fantasy sport around a brand-new league within a matter of weeks. I’m pretty damn proud of the work we’ve put […]

Now that the combine is finished, and athletic testing is official, a real order can begin to form for rookie rankings. Nothing can be finalized until after the draft but considering all the information gained within the last week, the mold has begun to form on which prospects have the best odds at future success.
