We can learn a lot about what might happen in the future, if we’re smart enough to look back to see where we’ve come. Average Draft Picks (ADP) is the perfect lens to use to look back on “what we thought,” and that will help us understand “what we should think” going forward.
The Fantasy playoffs are less than one month away – can you believe it? These Week 11 RB Rankings will hopefully get you one step closer to getting into those playoffs. And once you get into the playoffs – well, anything can happen! But if you’re already kicking butt and you’re ready to look ahead …
It’s no secret that running backs are the lifeblood of most Fantasy Football teams, and those that went the Zero-Running Back Theory can argue all they want. Our Week 10 RB rankings are the most important rankings, once again, as we enter a six-team bye week. “But the Zero-RB Theory is brilliant,” some may say, …
Before we get into the Week 8 Waiver Wire, let's take a quick look back. The only word I could think of to express Week 7 is "Wow." We saw outstanding Fantasy performances from Golden Tate, Sammy Watkins, Ronnie Hillman, and many others. However, there were many brutal injuries, including Bills RB C.J. Spiller, who unfortunately …
In this upcoming crucial Fantasy week, I share advice on which guys you should start, and who to sit come Sunday. Enjoy the Week 4 start 'em sit 'em! Quarterbacks Start ‘Em: Matthew Stafford at New York Jets Projected Fantasy Points: 27 Stafford is coming off of a horrific performance last week, in which he …
Six teams on bye weeks in the very first week of bye weeks? That’s ripping the Band-Aid off with one quick pull! Our Week 4 RB Rankings will definitely show how thin the position is, and how several teams in your league will be scraping the barrel for running backs this week – especially if …
Every draft season, this is one of the most popular pages on my site. The 2014 Fantasy Running Back rankings shouldn’t be any different, as most people believe that running backs are the lifeblood of any championship squad. Sure, you’ll hear arguments that in this day and age, with the NFL leaning more and more …
All Star week is nearly over and with it another Interrogate the Industry. This week I was able to get Nick Raducanu (@projectroto) to answer some questions. It is hard to believe that this is the eighth one already, but with so many fantastic options in the industry to interview there could be countless more. …
With the NFL Draft finally here, I thought it would be a good idea to look at the top 60 Fantasy Football players before we have an influx of the Class of 2014 onto the rosters. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of rookies that will find their way into the first five rounds …
Last year, Fantasy Baseball owners were thoroughly disappointed by the production they got from the recently acquired B.J. Upton. With the letdown and the hole that B.J. Upton left in the lineup with his lackluster performance, other players emerged and broke on to the scene. Evan Gattis and Chris Johnson had career years and both …
Is it ever too early to look at a 2014 Fantasy Football mock draft!?! We're into the new year, and we're ready to put the 2013 season behind us. Whether you won last season, finished in the playoffs or carried home your league's Toilet Bowl trophy as the worst team in the league – we're …
If you're still reading our Week 15 Fantasy Start or Sit column, this is good news for your Fantasy season! It's do or die time for Fantasy Football owners right now. Will you be back reading this column next week!?! One bad move and you could be looking forward to August of 2014, and I …
Is This The End? There comes a time in every Fantasy Owners season when they realize everything comes to an end, and it's time to say goodbye to their beloved fake teams. For some, this moment can't come soon enough. For example, the owner with the fifth pick in 2013 may have been giddy after …
With the NFL bye weeks finished for this season, the need for players that are flying under the radar has diminished a bit. However, many of our rosters are suffering from injuries and plain old under performance. I'm going to hone in on four Week 13 sleepers that I feel can be game changers this …
Before we get right into the Week 9 Waiver Wire Adds, I'd like to note; Marvin Jones should have been included in this column already. The reason he wasn't is simple. Personal attachment to Mohamed Sanu. After watching his nifty three-week stretch last season, where he scored 4 times and was pegged as a Sleeper …
For the purpose of player evaluation, trade candidates, and rest of season rankings, I thought I would look at the team rest-of-season strength of schedule. For this article in particular, we will focus on running backs, but I will post more articles in the near future about other positions. How did I do it? Easy: …
I write Daily Fantasy Football strategy columns for DFSEdge.com each week, and that means I usually play on several different Daily Fantasy sites each week. And in my FanDuel column on Saturday, I thought it interesting how many crazy running back situations there are this week, due to injuries and the Trent Richardson trade. So …
Do the 2013 Fantasy Running Back Rankings even matter anymore? I mean, we've beaten you over the head recently with quotes on passing statistics, and how the NFL had a record 11 quarterbacks with over 4,000 passing yards last season. So obviously, running backs are about as useful as a Fantasy writer and skinny jeans. …
One of the biggest questions on Fantasy owners' minds this year is, "Will Adrian Peterson come close to another 2,000 yards this year?" Let's take a deep breath and realize that only seven players in the history of the NFL have rushed for 2,000 yards in a season. And no one has ever done it …
Some argue whether a Fantasy Football mock draft will help multiple people figure out what to expect in their upcoming drafts, but I don’t think anyone will argue how helpful doing a mock draft yourself really is. It’s one of the only exercises in the world that people just flat out enjoy. If only mock …
There are all kinds of strategies to assembling a Fantasy Football team, but an approach I seem to find myself sticking to across all Fantasy Sports is ensuring to balance my high risk picks with what I consider safe and reliable options. And that's why I started writing my 2013 Fantasy Football All-Risk Team. For …
Who are the top 2013 running back handcuffs? A great question indeed, but with all the running back committees in the league, perhaps the real question is who exactly is a true handcuff these days? You know, the type Michael Turner was in his Lightning Bolt days, or Maurice Morris was behind Shaun Alexander before …
Tuesday, we broke out the first round of The Usual Suspects 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft and today it is on to Round 2! Last season, the top 2 rounds were filled with teams that likely got mixed up in back-to-back picks as notorious as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. That's right, 'Dumb and Dumber' and I'm …
I love looking back at NFL Draft history, especially as it relates to Fantasy Football. So I thought I'd look back at rookie quarterbacks and rookie running backs to see what recent seasons have produced, as well as NFL history. And hopefully, this information can help us out as we look at the 2013 NFL …
You can consider the 2013 Fantasy Baseball Third Base Rankings as Miguel Cabrera and everyone else. Miggy is considered a top-three pick in all Fantasy formats, coming off the first Triple Crown season in over 40 years. The former third baseman-turned-first baseman moved back across the diamond to make room for Prince Fielder, and he …
The 2012 Fantasy Football season is officially over, but that doesn't mean we should ignore next season. Heck, it means most of us can go ahead and ignore the rest of THIS season. Earlier this week, I updated the first round of the 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft, and there were minor changes. I also posted my …
Nearly every Fantasy Football season, there are at least a couple of rookie running backs that have fortified a Fantasy team’s run into the playoffs. But this Class of 2012 Rookie Running Backs is finishing up the season as one of the best. Two of these running backs are guaranteed to be drafted in the …
Heading either into the second round of your playoffs, or into the first week of your playoffs (still doing the Week 17 championship thing, eh?), these are the days that Fantasy Football owners begin to wish they drafted a stud running back in the first round. Many of them still pepper the upper tier of …
The most important weeks of your Fantasy Football lives are happening right now! ... Am I overselling this? From here on out, it's a do or die! It's one and done! It's win or go home! Sooo what I'm getting at is -- we're ready for the playoffs! Running backs are settling down, at least …

Normally, his blog is found at FifthPeriodLunch.com, but he has such a love for Fantasy Football, he agreed to post some of his ramblings here on Mondays.

We'll also be tweeting analysis about each of our picks, and the analysis will be posted here for readers to follow along with. Here are the …
Just like that – the NFL Draft is behind us and we are left with reshaped rosters and the start of the 2012 Fantasy Football Draft season. But before you draft, consider doing a mock draft, and consider the following update as Fantasy Football rankings for the first two rounds. This actually gets updated throughout …
