Shawn Siegele looks at two running back prospects who will battle to be the next Aaron Jones. One enters the NFL as a trendy pick who looks overrated by the RB Prospect Lab. The other has more production but will have to craft his own underdog story. Jones entered the league as the 182nd pick in the 2017 draft. Despite one of the most explosive…...

Now that the heart of free agency is behind us, and the calendar has turned to April, all eyes are looking towards the upcoming NFL Draft. Most high-profile free agents found new teams, and fantasy owners are adjusting rankings and tweaking projections. While not every move made a big splash, a few intriguing names either resigned with current teams or found new ones. Let’s take…...

Salvon Ahmed spent three seasons at Washington after entering the program as a 4-star recruit. He ranks outside of the top-15 in the 2020 RB RSI  and will hope to become a Day 3 selection. Ahmed’s profile, from a scouting perspective, includes a number of holes and questions his vision, feel for blocks, and elusiveness. However, Ahmed was involved in his three seasons as a…...

Shawn Siegele continues to unveil his 2020 Dynasty Top 150 and breaks down the key tier for supercharging your rebuild. This deep tier is loaded with the young wide receiver firepower necessary to build a true dynasty. The top tiers in my Superflex/TE Premium rankings were comprised mostly of running backs and quarterbacks, a mild surprise when we consider that dynasty is the receiver’s province…....

D.J. Chark was drafted outside the top 200 picks last season. He finished with 218 total points and the highest win rate among WRs in BestBall10s. Rookies disappoint every year. That’s just a fact of football, both real and fantasy. Players with strong draft capital and elite athleticism who seem like great fantasy assets fall short in their first season. The fantasy community tends to…...

Tee Higgins appears to be the forgotten man in the WR class of 2020. Whether it’s Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs from the film community or the analytics darling, Jalen Reagor, Higgins is among the least discussed prospects of the year. But he still appears to be an early-round draft selection with a strong pedigree. Maybe it will be the forgotten man that becomes the star player…...

The 2020 wide receiver class is famous for its glut of elite prospects, with seven different receivers expected to be first rounders, according to Grinding the Mocks. One of those outside the first round is Jalen Reagor. Yet many aspects of Reagor’s profile make him look like he deserves to be at the top of the rankings. Is it possible to be sleeping on a player…...

A common discussion in the dynasty community revolves around the ages of players. It’s nice to have a foundation of youth to keep your team competitive each year, but you still need those veteran players with solidified roles to put up consistent points on Sundays. Despite the debate surrounding “age cliffs” for specific players, there are players each year who both surprise and disappoint us…....

The fantasy community yearns for consistency and predictability. We like knowing our players have defined roles on their respective teams. The running backs are locked in for three-down roles, the wide receivers accrue a large weekly target share, and the tight ends are more than just run blockers. Unpredictability is another issue altogether. This is where fantasy owners are with Keenan Allen. For the first…...

Trading away good players is hard enough. It’s nearly impossible to trade away a player who returned such value on investment that he was being considered a league-winner. Enter Darren Waller. Turn back the clock a year, and Waller was coming off of his fourth straight underwhelming year in the league. Through those four years, he totaled 29 targets, 18 receptions, 178 yards, and two…...

Scouting reports are a quick way to get a sense of a player’s characteristics, what he does well, where he struggles, and the things that NFL teams are likely to assume he needs to work on. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everything we read in a scouting report is accurate. There are certain traits, such as route running ability, that are hard to quantify…...

Initially, I was going to take the seemingly annual run at identifying whether or not Will Fuller was worth the risk this coming season considering his prolific injury history. Then, free agency happened. When the Houston Texans traded away DeAndre Hopkins and his 150 targets from 2019 to the Arizona Cardinals, the entire fantasy football community was shaken to its core. While there will likely…...
