From a Historical Perspective: What Is Going On with Tight End Scoring?
Blair Andrews
October 2, 2024
After Monday night, Jared Goff has more receiving touchdowns on the year than Sam LaPorta. I don’t need to remind anyone who drafted LaPorta in the first round of FFPC leagues how disappointing he’s been. But it’s not only LaPorta who’s disappointed. Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Kyle Pitts, and Travis Kelce have all failed to live up to expectations. Indeed, the perception is that tight…...

From a Historical Perspective: Just How Good Is This Rookie Wide Receiver Class?
Blair Andrews
September 24, 2024
Rome Odunze was the last top-10 wide receiver draft pick who still needed to have a breakout game in 2024. Now that he, Marvin Harrison, and Malik Nabers have all finished near the top of the WR ranks in at least one of the first three weeks, it’s worth asking how the current class stacks up against past classes. Listen as Hasan, Kevin, and I…...

From a Historical Perspective: How Worried Should We Be About Marvin Harrison’s Debut?
Blair Andrews
September 9, 2024
Marvin Harrison Jr. was the first wide receiver selected in the 2024 draft, going to the Arizona Cardinals with the fourth pick. That’s the earliest a WR has been taken since 2015, when Amari Cooper was the Raiders’ fourth overall pick. No receiver had been taken earlier since 2007 (Calvin Johnson). Given the draft capital spent on him, it would be reasonable to expect him…...

Blair Andrews breaks down Chiefs/Ravens and Eagles/Packers and explains what it all means for FFPC high stakes drafts on Saturday.
