Can We Defeat Betteridge’s Law of Headlines? Is Brock Bowers Already the Best Tight End Ever?
Blair Andrews
October 17, 2024
A few weeks ago I asked whether Brock Bowers was already the TE1 in both redraft and dynasty. That was perhaps somewhat premature after Week 2, but the answer to both questions has since become obvious. I’m sensitive to Betteridge’s law of headlines, but at the very least my previous Bowers article provides a counterexample. After six weeks of 2024, Bowers is the TE1 in…...

Week 7 is a tricky one. The best matchups aren’t without their red flags, and most of the best plays have their upside thoroughly baked in in daily fantasy. But all isn’t lost!

I’ve never cheered for the Patriots a day in my life. I honestly couldn’t care less about the success of the franchise one way or another. I’m not against them, but I’m neutral. At the peak of their powers, I grew jealous, sure. I resented their success for a while because it wasn’t my own. Years after that, I even came full circle, marveling at…...

After starting his rookie season receiving the inconsistent opportunity that would be expected for a fourth-round (112th pick overall) wide receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown exploded down the stretch to deliver fantasy championships in 2021. Since then he has not looked back. Working primarily out of the slot, St. Brown has solidified himself as one of the league’s most consistent and productive WRs. Over each consecutive…...

Scoring the most fantasy points in the fantasy playoffs seems obvious and straightforward, yet it can be tempting to get Week 1 brain with the NFL season rapidly approaching. While the 14-week fantasy football regular season accounts for 82% of the games played, all weeks are not created equal, as Weeks 16 and 17 matter more than the first 14 weeks combined.

Jalen Tolbert Has a Huge Opportunity in Front of Him While Brandin Cooks is on IR

Heading into the season, Jalen Tolbert was getting plenty of steam as a breakout candidate in the Cowboys’ offense. #Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy on the biggest improvement he’s seen in Jalen Tolbert: “Everything. I think he’s just really completed his game… I think JT’s taken a big, big step.” pic.twitter.com/3RSOu8Lg9f — The Coachspeak Index (@CoachspeakIndex) August 2, 2024 #Cowboys OC Brian Schottenheimer on Jalen Tolbert:
Kenneth Walker III is Piling Up A Lot of Receptions for a Player Who Supposedly Can’t Catch
Kevin Szafraniec
October 12, 2024
When Kenneth Walker III was entering the NFL, the biggest wart on his profile was his lack of involvement in the passing game. Walker never earned more than a 3% receiving yards market share in any college season, and it looked like perhaps NFL scouts were right to question Walker’s ability as a receiver after two different programs seemed to go out of their way
Can Alec Pierce Continue to Come Up Big for the Colts While Michael Pittman Jr. is Out?

October 11, 2024
After the Colts selected Alec Pierce with the 53rd overall pick in the 2022 draft, he has seen plenty of opportunities on the field, but has not done much with them. In his first season, Pierce’s 446 routes ranked 37th among wide receivers. In his second year, Pierce’s routes run jumped to 556, which ranked 11th among all WRs. But all of that time on

Zero RB, Antifragility, and the Myth of Value-Based Drafting
Shawn Siegele
November 2, 2013
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan, has a new book out, and, if anything, it’s probably even more potent (if also self-contradictory in many places). The book is called Antifragile and this is his definition of the term: Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure. Yet in spite of the…...
