Blair Andrews May 11, 2023

In Part 1, Blair Andrews argued that Jahmyr Gibbs is undervalued in best ball, even at his current valuation, right at the Round 3/4 turn. Rookie running backs drafted in the first 100 reality picks — especially those who are young — have a better chance than most other RBs to put up big scores in the fantasy playoffs. But an obvious question remains: can…...

The Lions Dump D’Andre Swift in Philadelphia and Launch Multiple Fantasy Running Backs

Shawn Siegele April 29, 2023

The Lions traded D’Andre Swift to the Philadelphia Eagles for a meaningless move in Round 7 and a fourth-round pick a million years from now (or 2025). Even for a one-year rental that feels a bit . . . light. At one point late last season, Jerry Jones was criticizing the Eagles for going all-in on the 2022 season. This was one of the weirder…...

Shawn Siegele April 29, 2023

Israel Abanikanda goes to the New York Jets with the 143rd pick in the 2023 NFL draft. Even if the Breece Hall injury provides a small window at the beginning of the season, this is a disaster for Abanikanda. Well, this one hurts.
