Ultimate Zero RB Watch List – Week 5

Ultimate Zero RB Watch List – Week 4

Advanced WR Stats and Rest of Season Rankings

I hope everyone enjoyed the first weekend as much as I did. From 10 AM Sunday morning to 2:30 AM that night, I watched 14 hours of football, did eight miles on the treadmill, and consumed more than enough wings and ice cream to still be at a calorie surplus.((The miles, wings, and ice cream all occurred simultaneously with the football watching. The missing hours represent a break for a…...

The Ultimate Zero RB Watch List – Week 2

Last week I detailed the RB depth chart for every NFL team, including those backs stashed on various practice squads. This week we’ll use the Snap Report app to look at workloads for Game 1. Outside of Chris Ivory‘s illness, running backs escaped the first week unscathed…....

Baltimore WRs Are the Opposite of Detroit WRs: Buy Them All

It was one highlight in a training camp filled with them between Flacco and Wallace. Over the course of three weeks, Flacco has connected with Wallace over the middle for first downs and in the red zone for scores. “Mike is awesome,” Flacco said. “I think he is going to be a really big hit for us.” – Jamison Hensley, ESPN…...

The Zero RB Target List Expands to 20 for Draft Weekend

Philip Rivers and 4 Other QBs to Draft for a Fast Start

Mark Ingram and 4 Other RBs Who Should Get Off to Blazing Starts

The End is Near: WR Craziness and the Apex Experts Recap

Last week we had the Third Annual Apex Experts League draft with a Who’s Who of the top minds in fantasy football analysis, and it was crazy. Drafters were desperate not to be left behind at the wide receiver position. Due to the unexpected turn of events, it provided a great lens through which to examine a couple of the more common criticisms from Zero…...

Fantasy Owners Are Targeting the Wrong WRs in Detroit

Targets are the lifeblood of fantasy scoring, but many of our predictions about volume are fragile. It’s difficult to argue with Jacob Rickrode’s thesis that The Same WRs Finish Top 24 Every Single Year…....
