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…...
I love a home league more than any other form of fantasy football on this blue marble. There is something about playing with my friends and family that all the money in the world couldn’t buy.

In 2017, James Conner was drafted by the Steelers at the tail end of the third round to add depth behind superstar running back Le’Veon Bell. In the three seasons prior, Bell never finished lower than fourth among RBs in PPR points per game, scoring as the overall PPR RB1 and RB3 in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
