Blair Andrews breaks down a recent FFPC FantasyPros Championship draft, revealing how to navigate WR cliffs and overeager TE drafters to build a roster with explosive upside. Last week I highlighted some of the best values in the FFPC FantasyPros Championship format. That contest features the same top payout as the Main Event, but costs only $350 to enter. The lower buy-in likely leads to…...
“Did I pee on your rug? Did I urinate on your rug? So every time I, just want to understand this, sir, every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I have to compensate the-” Even drafting a large number of teams in a wide variety of formats, it’s easy to get tunnel vision. Sometimes it’s necessary to micturate rain on your…...
In 2017, James Conner was drafted by the Steelers at the tail end of the third round to add depth behind superstar running back Le’Veon Bell. In the three seasons prior, Bell never finished lower than fourth among RBs in PPR points per game, scoring as the overall PPR RB1 and RB3 in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Conner concluded his four-year career at the University…...
Safe. Consistent. Dependable. These are adjectives that are often linked to some of the best-case scenarios for aging running backs. Inefficient. Declining. Boring. A few adjectives that may be used more frequently than we would like describing elite athletes in their mid-20s, but it does not make them any less true. As many NFL running backs enter their age-24 season, they are nearing the end…...
Dave Caban shares his baseline 2024 projection for the Miami Dolphins while also considering the impacts of increases/decreases to market shares and team play volume. Every offseason, I undertake the process of creating projections for every team. In previous years, this involved developing a projection that I believed would represent the average performance of all relevant players if a given season were played out thousands…...
Shawn Siegele breaks down his 2024 redraft plan and discusses the benefits of mixing humility and optimism through the “upside tiers.” Earlier this season, I wrote about the tier-based philosophy that will help you crush best ball leagues. As we’re about to reach peak redraft season, we can apply a tweaked approach to defeating your co-workers, besting your in-laws and cousins, embarrassing your college friends,…...
Kevin Szafraniec reminds you just how powerful Elijah Mitchell was in his rookie year and locates a 2024 rookie who might be on the same trajectory. In 2021, Elijah Mitchell came out of obscurity as a sixth-round pick to claim the lead role in the San Francisco backfield after injuries decimated the 49ers’ running back depth chart. While Mitchell himself was also limited to 11…...
In recent weeks, I’ve gone through some of the most meaningful underlying WR stats, searching for players who might be overlooked relative to cost. If you have time, go back and see what I uncovered analyzing players with strong outputs in Air Yards and Yards per Route Run (YPRR). This week, I’ll put Target Market Share (reTRGMS) under the microscope. Target Market Share is a…...
Shawn Siegele reveals his favorite 2024 late-round pick and explains why a forgotten-yet-buzzy WR allows you to check four boxes at once. When it comes to volume, I generally have only one rule: don’t make the same volume play as everyone else. If you’re making the same volume bet as the community, then that bet is going to get pricey even if it doesn’t seem…...

Every offseason, I undertake the process of creating projections for every team.

While the FFPC Main Event gets most of the attention during redraft season — and rightly so, as the biggest high-stakes fantasy contest around — we shouldn’t forget about FFPC’s sister tournament that features just as big a grand prize and an even bigger prize pool. The FantasyPros Championship features a $350 buy-in and a $1 million top prize. It also offers a slightly flatter…...

Last time, we looked at small gap running backs on two teams with a dominant veteran and potential breakouts to identify undervalued players based on their ADP. Today we’ll cover two more small gap running backs, including a veteran and a younger option. The idea of small gap and big gap RBs comes from Jack Miller’s research on the win and hit rates for big or small gap backs,…...

A Reminder From the Introduction If you have never participated in an auction draft or have spent little…...
In my last article I highlighted one of ESPN Analytics Receiver Tracking Metrics: YAC Score. Deebo Samuel has been among the best in the league at YAC Score since his rookie season. And at least one Year 2 breakout candidate looks like he might be on a similar trajectory. But YAC Score isn’t the only metric ESPN tracks. In fact, one could say it’s not…...

Since 2016, I have published a series of articles on auction drafts each summer to help readers prepare…...
Shawn Siegele explains why Josh Jacobs is a 2024 fantasy football trap play and helps you find his doppelganger at a multi-round discount. In 2022 Josh Jacobs was an absolute world burner from the Dead Zone, scoring 330 points and finishing as the RB3. Unfortunately, he returned to his previous levels of performance in 2023, missed a few games with injury, and left fantasy managers…...
