We got off to a decent start streaming defenses in 2016 with a solid Week 1 thanks to a solid performance by the Eagles and a 49ers shutout of the Rams.[1]For the scoring system used, see the Week 1 article. Unfortunately, the Titans offense handed the Vikings two scores and in turn ruined their defense’s chances of providing a solid fantasy outing. With Week 1…...

The NFL season is finally upon us and it’s time to crush our fantasy leagues! Like many managers, I stream my defenses on a weekly basis and for the next 17 weeks we’re going to be evaluating our best options….

Last week we looked at supply and demand and learned how to use basic economics to approach auction drafts. Our discussion had a couple of major takeaways, one of which was that it is often best to consider positional tiers when determining the prices that we would be willing to pay for players. This is due to the laws of supply and demand and the non-linear…...

Source: Film breakdown: Eagles should run their offense through their tight ends | Philly Voice: Troughout training camp, Doug Pederson has shown a heavy dose of multiple tight end sets, occasionally putting three (sometimes even four) tight ends on the field….

Robert Woods is essentially free and I plan on taking advantage of this in fantasy drafts. As of July 28, he is being drafted in PPR leagues as the 217th  player off the board and the 76th  wide receiver. A number of these players could outscore him but there are few that could inherit the number of targets that he will if Sammy Watkins misses substantial time in 2016. Target Potential Though…...

The Green Bay Packers were a major disappointment for fantasy drafters in 2015. Aaron Rodgers played a full season but was unable to crack the top five of quarterback rankings. Eddie Lacy got outscored by James Starks. Randall Cobb struggled as the leader of the receiving corps and DaVante Adams, who was being drafted in the fourth round of drafts, barely eclipsed 100 PPR points. With Jordy Nelson…...

The Steelers offense has produced some epic fantasy performances over the last couple of seasons and all signs point to it doing so again in 2016. Using our staff Projection Machine, I pulled together what I believe to be likely outcomes for Ben Roethlisberger and the rest of the Pittsburgh offense. As you are likely aware, the Projection Machine employs a top-down approach and works…...

After the disaster that was Eddie Lacy’s 2015 season, it’s hard to believe that the rotund running back is going off the board in the second round of 2016 drafts as RB9. Though the majority of drafters are expecting a bounce back season, prudent owners should really think long and hard before investing significant draft capital into the fourth year back. A SQUANDERED OPPORTUNITY The…...

As Ben Gretch recently noted, Zero RB is an uncomfortable strategy to fully commit to. For this reason, it comes as no surprise that the approach is still facing a level of resistance in the fantasy community. Anthony Amico has explained why the running back position could make a comeback in 2016, and there’s no denying that 2015 was a great year to be a…...

During the 2015 fantasy football season, I’d occasionally tune into my local sports radio station. It ran a fifteen-minute fantasy segment every Thursday, in which the hosts of the afternoon show dished out DFS advice, hot takes, and plenty of narrative-driven analysis. Pretty much every segment left me shaking my head, but for some reason I felt compelled to listen. If I had a dollar…...

In the months leading up to the fantasy football season we spend a great deal of time discussing value. It makes sense; we all want to get the biggest bang for our buck and spend as little as possible. Whether we’re dropping a couple of dollars on a sandwich or buying a new car we want to get the best deal that we can. The…...
