You can’t move forward without knowing something about the past, or something like that. Part of our preseason package includes that look back to the 2018 NFL campaign, with individual articles about the Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver and the Tight End position (no one gives a crap about kickers, and defenses can change greatly […]

Friday Fantasy Focus – Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Welcome back for another installment of the #FridayFantasyFocus! Last week’s segment on Rashaad Penny provided a ton of clarity in how I’ll be approaching Penny in redraft, bestball, and dynasty leagues this summer. Hope you took notes.

Mind Of Marsal: My Thoughts On Sammy Watkins In 2019
Happy Friday Fantasy Guru fam! Hope everyone had an awesome week and is ready to unwind this weekend. I am currently listening to some “Zac Brown – Toes” at home and sipping on some coffee (yes — it was a tad too early for a beer), getting pumped for this article. If you have not […]
NFL RBs & College Workload
Our commander in chief, Jeff Mans, threw out a list of about 300 article ideas (ok, really about 75, but still) for the summer, and I thought this was a great topic to tackle when I saw it. Today you get a peek inside my process as a researcher, and something I do for fun […]
Targeting Third Down Running Backs in Fantasy Drafts
When people talk about third down running backs, what typically comes to mind? The PPR catch-specialists, right?

Unsurprisingly, these backs don’t […]

The quarterback position in a single-quarterback setting is so replaceable that it really doesn’t matter where you pick your quarterback. Adding a second roster spot to flex an […]
Filling the Void: Oakland Raiders Receiving Options
It seems every offseason there becomes more and more player movement in the NFL. Between free agency, trades, the draft and players getting released, there’s an immense amount of fluctuation surrounding target-shares and how teams will distribute targets. The goal of this article is to evaluate what teams looked like in 2018 and what changes […]
Fantasy Takeaways from 2018 Catch Rates
I’m still in the first month working here at FG. One goal I had for each article that I was going to write was to have some actionable content for you, the reader, to apply to your fantasy leagues or upcoming drafts. I may have finally met my match with a statistic that doesn’t really […]
League Format: 14-Team PPR
How’s it going my Fantasy Guru fam! We have been getting asked a decent amount of questions in our chat room about 14-team leagues. So I have decided to go ahead and dig into this format at this time. This is very similar to a 12-team PPR format which I’ve already covered. If you haven’t […]
