Source: Redskins’ coaches happy with Matt Jones’ progress | CSN Mid-Atlantic: “You’re seeing a much more matured player,” offensive coordinator Sean McVay said of the 23-year-old Jones. “I’ve been extremely encouraged with him—his understanding of where he fits in protections, consistency in his tracks.” Head coach Jay Gruden also has been impressed. “We’re obviously happy with his progress,” said Gruden. “We feel good about where…...

Ameer Abdullah, who is reported to be Detroit’s lead running back going into the 2016 season, underwent an arthroscopic repair of a torn shoulder labrum this past January. He is expected to be ready for training camp. I would agree with that, and don’t see this issue as being a significant concern going forward. The labrum is the circular meniscus-like tissue that goes around the…...

In this post I’ll do some quick analysis to both show the functionality of our new Screener app, and also answer a commonly asked question in fantasy circles: is garbage time scoring reliable from year to year? First let me define how I intend to look at that question. I’m just going to call garbage time fantasy scoring any points scored while a team is…...

I like Doug Baldwin. I just don’t like his price for 2016. In this article I’ll explore the reasoning behind my skepticism of his current ADP. In MFL10s from 2013-2015, Baldwin essentially went undrafted. He was not selected often enough to register among the top-60 drafted wide receivers. As of the first week of June, Baldwin is being drafted as the WR26. Quite the jump for a…...

Now that the draft is over we can starting doing some early 2016 fantasy football projections. Today: the Cincinnati Bengals, including why A.J. Green looks like a top six WR.  First things first, using our staff projection machine I set some baseline team-wide assumptions: For average scoring margin, I went with the league-wide 75th percentile mark, as I believe the Bengals to be one of the better…...

If I had to make a list of the running backs in the mix to finish as the overall RB1 in 2017, it would include Le’Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, David Johnson, Todd Gurley, Lamar Miller, Devonta Freeman, and Ezekiel Elliott. That’s about it, except for one name. It would also include Jerick McKinnon. But before we get into that … What about Adrian Peterson? Purple…...

In this post I’ll look at dynasty startup ADP data from our friends at the FFPC. If you aren’t familiar, FFPC recently launched some mid-stakes dynasty leagues where you can enter for $250 (along with a deposit for the following year in case you totally tank your team and bail on the league). FFPC runs fun contests with two flex spots and TE premium scoring so…...

Source: Transcript: Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher Post-OTA Interview – Turf Show Times “Tavon’s just getting better every year. He’s focused in on the offense, the changes in the offense. Once he gets comfortable in the offense, we’ll see a lot of big plays out of him.” “The reason we drafted him, number one, is we didn’t want to have to defend him…....

Source: Rookie RB Derrick Henry Impressive Catching Ball for Titans Henry caught one pass after another in the open field during Thursday’s practice. He considers himself a good route-runner, but acknowledges he is getting better each day.  Coach Mike Mularkey said Henry has been impressive in the 1-on-1 periods, and said he’s a good route runner.  “He’s beaten guys that were cover guys,’’ Mularkey said…....

A lively discussion recently broke out in the RotoViz email chain centered on drafting running back handcuffs. Is it smart or a waste of a pick? Does format impact your answer?… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

It’s possible that Allen Hurns will be worse in 2016 than he was in 2015. That’s okay. He still has a place on both your dynasty and redraft teams. The Bad News… Let’s start with the bad news from the WR Sim App. Here’s how Hurns age, size, and production comparables fared in their N+1 seasons. That’s about as negative a forecast as I could imagine. Ninety-six…...

Source: 5 things to watch: OTAs Week 3  Ameer Abdullah has been held out of OTAs after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier this offseason, which means Theo Riddick has received most of the first-team reps at running back. Players are in helmets and shorts this time of year, so there’s only so much we can glean from these rushing reps, but it does tell us that…...

Every year, there’s a running back in redraft leagues that is a fantasy dud hiding in plain sight. It was Trent Richardson in 2013, Chris Johnson in 2014, and Alfred Morris in 2015. These running backs were coming off seasons marked by highly inefficient play, but with a hefty workload that we assumed would be replicated the following year. This year is no different. Join me,…...
