Does Offensive Line Strength Impact Fantasy RB Production?
Antonio Losada
February 24, 2020
One of the topics of discussion during 2019 fantasy drafts had to do with Joe Mixon’s ADP. If you remember those early days of September just before the start of the season, Mixon’s ADP was 20.6 overall, or RB11. That wasn’t a great deviation from what Mixon had done in 2018 finishing the season as the RB10. The difference is that he finished there while…...
Is It Time to Give Up On Mike Williams?
Antonio Losada
February 19, 2020
A lot of digital ink has been spilled musing about what the deal is with Mike Williams. Just days after he Williams was drafted we were already wondering about the future of Keenan Allen. One year later and after an injury-plagued rookie season, Shawn Siegele kept buying him. Fast-forward to last August and we were giving Williams the highest of potential floors. Just this past…...
Is Allen Lazard Green Bay’s True WR2?
Antonio Losada
February 18, 2020
It’s safe to say no one predicted Allen Lazard’s second season given just what he did as an undrafted rookie in 2018. Lazard played exactly one game — one snap, actually — for the Packers in 2018. He was targeted by DeShone Kizer, caught the pass, and gained 7 yards. That’s some efficiency right there! Jokes aside, Lazard’s “real” debut-season took place in 2019 as…...
Should We Care About Volatility?
Antonio Losada
February 17, 2020
High-variance, volatile football players, the Will Fullers and Amari Coopers of our day, the risky bets — we all know those players, and most of all we all know about what they can do — for good and for bad. When was the last time you trusted Will Fuller or Amari Cooper to go off the charts and they let you down? You probably don’t…...
Which Anthony Miller Should We Expect in 2020?
Antonio Losada
February 14, 2020
Two years in the NFL, two years outside of the top-50 best wide receivers in fantasy football. That’s the quickest of ways I can think of to give you an overly simplified summary of what Anthony Miller’s career has been up to the end of the 2019 season. It’s not pretty and gets less so when you consider he will be playing his third season…...
Will Deebo Samuel Keep Flying High In a Run-Heavy San Francisco Offense?
Antonio Losada
February 13, 2020
I remember the hot days of August. Actually, I miss them. They can’t get back soon enough. This past summer, most fantasy owners were anticipating their drafts while having a very clear name in their minds when it came to the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver position: Dante Pettis. As a second-year player and after finishing his rookie season posting more than 13 PPR in…...
A Slight Increase In Opportunities Might Push Hunter Renfrow Through The Roof
Antonio Losada
February 11, 2020
As much as I love Hunter Renfrow these days (it took time for me to get there, believe me), I can’t lie to you in assessing his rookie season. Renfrow was a good first-year wide receiver, but he was far from a world-beater. In fact, Renfrow (133.5) couldn’t even beat his teammate Tyrell Williams (143.1) for the most PPR points in the season, even playing…...
Is There Anything Left In David Johnson’s Tank?
Antonio Losada
February 10, 2020
There is nothing official — at least at the time of this writing — regarding David Johnson’s future (or lack of it) as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. Johnson, in fact, is in the middle of one of the most lucrative contracts in the NFL after signing a three-year extension to become the face of Arizona back in 2018 in a deal that would…...
Derrick Henry is Awesome. Do Not Draft Derrick Henry
Antonio Losada
February 6, 2020
In the 2019 regular season, Derrick Henry led all running backs in fantasy points over expectation (FPOE) with 82.5. It was the 15th-highest FPOE mark among all RBs since 2000. In 2018, he was 11th among RBs with 37.4. In fact, he’s never had a season with negative FPOE. He carried the underdog Titans past the Patriots and Ravens, rushing for 377 yards on 64…...
Will Dissly Keeps Flying Under The Radar: Is The Breakout Coming?
Antonio Losada
February 5, 2020
With the 2019 season already over I was looking at potential bargains entering the 2020 preseason with my eyes locked on the upcoming draft season. There are plenty of things that can turn a player into a buy-low candidate and put a bargain-tag next to his name: a drop in performance, a new teammate being used more on offense, a set of bad game scripts,…...
Positive Regression is Coming to Minnesota: What to Expect for the Vikings in 2020
Antonio Losada
February 1, 2020
If you’re not weak of memory you’d remember how Minnesota started the 2019 season. It was something bizarre, so strange, in fact, that there were virtually no modern-era comparisons to what Kirk Cousins and the rest of the Vikings put together during the first three to four weeks of the season. For those who have forgotten about it, here is a quick refresher: Through three…...
