Examining Five Teams Using VTP+

In my last post I introduced the concept of VTP+ (“Versus Team Position Plus”), a new stat that makes quick comparisons of players on the same NFL team, within the same position group.

Jeremy Hill, Giovani Bernard, and VTP+

I’ve been playing fantasy football since I started a home league when I was 12 years old.[1]No joke, I drafted Jason Elam in the first round. In college, I found my new group of friends was more into fantasy baseball than pretend pigskin. I was a more casual fan of baseball, but it wasn’t long before I was reading Moneyball and finding myself knee-deep in appreciation for…...

Finding Value Among the Packers Wide Receivers

In the wake of Jordy Nelson’s unfortunate injury, narratives were generated like mad libs, and fantasy football drafts have been affected. Davante Adams saw his stock rise the most, followed initially by Jeff Janis, and then by Ty Montgomery. Then on Saturday night, Randall Cobb was the latest Packers wide receiver to have an injury scare. While that appears to have been relatively minor, there remains an understandable amount of confusion…...

Will Roy Helu be a Difference Maker in 2015?

Roy Helu has always been an interesting name in fantasy football drafts due to his physical tools and fantastic rate stats, but he’s been mired in a secondary role behind Alfred Morris for the last few seasons.

In today’s NFL, there is an ever-increasing emphasis on lessening the workload of starters at skill positions. Three-down backs have given way to more committees and third down specialists.

Why C.J. Spiller is the (Only) Saints Back with Top 10 Upside

One of the biggest storylines heading into 2015 is the New Orleans Saints backfield. After Darren Sproles left for Philadelphia last offseason, fellow mainstay Pierre Thomas is also gone (as well as the less-heralded Travaris Cadet). Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson are still around, and the key addition is C.J. Spiller. Out of that bunch, I believe it’s Spiller that will return a top 10…...
