Think back with me now, as you get ready for your 1997 Fantasy draft, and you’re looking over your 1997 Fantasy Football rankings from whichever magazine you grabbed that month. Think back with me about when you were wondering what the NFL was going to be like with no team in Cleveland or Houston for …
These 2017 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings consist of some big guys. I’m a big guy, so I like this! Plus, some of them are getting up there in age. I’m getting up there in age! So I like this more! Of the top 15 tight ends from 2016, six of them were over the …
We’re just at the beginning of summer, so our links to these eight stories on Fantasy rebound candidates and deep sleepers should help you wile away the summer heat until football season arrives! Summer is a time for kids to recharge before the drudgery of another school year falls upon them, and in that spirit, …
A Fantasy Football auction can get your blood flowing and they are much more intense than regular straight drafts. If you haven’t tried one — or if you haven’t done one in a while — get on it! Now, they even have auctions on Fantasy sites like ESPN, MyFantasyLeague.com and CBSSports.com, which we’ll get into. …
The 2016 Fantasy Tight End rankings may have taken a bigger shift in the past six months than any other position in Fantasy. Several players swapped teams, but that doesn’t change the fact that this remains a very deep position. I’m a big fan of tight ends in the NFL because they’re an underappreciated group …
We’ve already covered the entrees on the Fantasy Football menu, sharing my 2015 Fantasy Football rankings for quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers, and now it’s time to dig into some of the side dishes, like the 2015 Tight End rankings! First, we’re going to take a quick look back at last season’s numbers at …
It is sad, but exciting at the same time. The fantasy championships are among us, and some of your leagues are already finished. It has been an exciting season, and if you’re in the championship, a successful one for you. However, there is one more week, and that causes for you to finish the job, …
If you’re reading these Week 14 Fantasy Football rankings, there’s likely only two reasons for it: 1. You beat out half of your league for one of a few coveted playoff spots. 2. You’re in a league that doesn’t have a championship game until Week 17 and you’re sick of people mocking your league because …
I think we can all agree to one conclusion after Week 12’s action: Odell Beckham Jr. is a beast. We witnessed him make the best catch I’ve personally ever seen. He grabbed the ball out of mid-air with just three fingers, and hauled it in for a TD, all while being interfered with; on his …
Good grief. The running backs corps is becoming very weak in Fantasy, and once again we continue to be blindsided by sleepers having outstanding performances. Luckily, this is the last week for bye weeks, so we’ll be able to play our starters down the Fantasy stretch. But I just hope you survived this long stretch …
Last week by in large was a successful week for Discount Diving. Although the lineup I posted only won in one contest, I did do well in all of my other contests, using many of the same discount players. The big hitters were Justin Forsett, Roddy White, and Jason Witten performing as I projected. Jeremy Hill …
So many. Yes, I am referring to the teams on bye-weeks the last two weeks. Hopefully, you survived. However, if not, like me, there’s still hope, but it puts you in a must-win situation this week, and it makes for a very stressful upcoming week. Unfortunately, the NFL season has flown by, and we’re very …
There might be no other Fantasy position that offers as much talent on the waiver wire from one week to the next as wide receivers. Our Week 11 WR rankings show how truly deep the position is, and we’re going to help you plan the future a bit. With just three weeks left in the …
The Week 11 TE rankings are as important as ever, but if you are an astute Fantasy owners smart enough to still be reading articles in Week 11, then you’re probably headed toward the Fantasy playoffs. That means we need to help you start preparing for that, so this week, we’ve been sharing some players …
It certainly felt great to get back in the win column on FanDuel in a big way last week after a successful sample lineup, and discount diving post. Hitting on Ryan Tannehill, Jeremy Hill, and getting a decent performance from Rueben Randle helped lead three entries with this lineup to payout and scoring 131 points. …
The Week 10 TE rankings are going to be without Fantasy Football studs like Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Gates, along with steady Dwayne Allen and oft-injured-but-talented Jordan Reed. So I thought I’d take a quick look back before we take a short look forward. Rather than just churn out the rankings each week, I usually …
Last week was very exciting. I saw my main team put up an astounding 141 Fantasy points, in a standard league, and still almost lost! My opponent was a mere nine points short of me; thus showing what a big Fantasy week it was. Hopefully, we can repeat that Fantasy success this week. I hate …
With six teams on byes this week – the Week 9 Fantasy Football rankings are a little thinner than usual. There are plenty of interesting matchups, as well, including Peyton Manning and Tom Brady going at it again. I was on the road this past week in Atlanta to see family, so time became an …
What an exciting Sunday, I would say. There were many outstanding performances, including guys like Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Rob Gronkowski, and Arian Foster having monster games. However, there were some duds and also some injuries, which makes the Week 9 Waiver Wire extra important. Doug Martin continues to struggle, while he also injured his …
The tight ends position hasn’t quite been as exciting this season as in past years, considering the absence of Aaron Hernandez, the retirement of Tony Gonzalez and the injuries to Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski. Julius Thomas, Martellus Bennett and Greg Olsen have been great news from the past couple seasons, but the up-and-down efforts …
Sometimes in the middle of the Fantasy season, I like to look back to see which tight ends have popped up out of nowhere to find themselves relevant in our game. These Week 7 TE rankings will have several players that we didn’t care about this past summer. But now, whether it’s due to injury …
Time for the waiver wire! Yes, chances are you’re still licking your wounds from a Week 6 Fantasy loss, or you may be still celebrating a win whether against a stranger, a co-worker, a friend or even your boss. I hate to be the negative one here, but it’s time to move on. It’s time …
The good news for Jimmy Graham’s Fantasy owners is that you weren’t going to be able to use him this week in your lineups anyway, since the Saints are on a bye week. So these Week 6 TE rankings don’t change much because of his shoulder injury. However, there is some movement in these rankings, …
With four weeks in the books, things are getting complicated. It’s still early, but crucial games are arriving that could end up being the difference in the end for your fantasy team. Luckily, the Dolphins and Raiders are the only teams on bye-weeks this week, and neither of those teams have outstanding fantasy playmakers. Last …
Another few days of Football is upon us, and with it another chance to get some winning Daily Fantasy Football lineups. After missing a post last week (I do apologize, and hope I helped those who asked on Twitter) I am back and hoping to help you all find a few of those discounted value …
The quarterback and tight end positions always seem so full of talent, there are difficult decisions made each week when we do these Week 5 TE Rankings. Who do we leave outside of the top 12? We’re basically saying they’re not start-worthy. That’s not true, of course, because there are tons of different Fantasy formats …
It's that time of the week again! Bye weeks are in full swing, and some of your key players will be missing. That makes you turn toward the Week 5 waiver wire. Which players should you pick up? This is my advice on which players to snag this week off waivers. Of course, you'll want …
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 …
With six NFL teams on byes this week, the Week 4 WR rankings look much more shallow than in the first three weeks of the season. But in reality, this might be one of the deepest 26-team set of wide receiver rankings in Fantasy Football history. Passing is down a little bit in the NFL, …
Who doesn’t love a great tight end? The Week 4 TE rankings are mixed up just a bit compared to previous weeks, as we have injuries to keep an eye out for and six teams on by weeks. That tends to change the Fantasy tight ends landscape, fo’ sho’. Two players that continue to skyrocket …
First off, I'd like to say that I am honored that I will be writing my weekly Fantasy Football articles here, and I am more than excited to get started and contribute my Fantasy Football knowledge, starting with the Week 4 Waiver Wire. This week, we had many new names contributing to their respective teams, …
So far, the tight ends position has worked out pretty much the way we all thought it would have. You have a couple studs near the top that are always scoring, and we do have a couple tight ends we thought were middle-of-the-road in Fantasy, who have skyrocketed upwards. We also have a few no-names …
When it comes to Daily Fantasy Football each and every week is dramatically different. Players will disappoint in the biggest way (I'm looking at you Jamaal Charles) or exceed all expectations like Allen Hurns (110 yards and 2 touchdowns). Although I owned Hurns in my deep dynasty league and had to play him, I wasn't …
Tight ends, as we’ve mentioned before, are similar to the quarterback position in that there are a lot of pretty good ones. These Week 2 TE rankings will prove that out, too, as you’ll likely see some good ones fall into the 20s one week after the opener. The way tight ends are different than …
If there’s one thing we all learned during our 2014 Fantasy Football drafts this summer, it’s that the tight ends position is deeper than ever. If you didn’t draft one of the studs, you likely found yourself picking through some very good tight ends, wondering which one will serve you best. In our Week 1 …
Are you willing to use a first-round pick on tight end Jimmy Graham? My 2014 Tight End rankings indicate there are several tough questions like this you’ll have to answer. More tough questions include, “Are you willing to use a second- or third-round pick on Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski, who missed time last season with …

So I'm delivering to you -- my fully updated 2014 Fantasy Football Overall Player Rankings!

The draft continues, and this will be part two of the Draft Strategy series. In case you missed the first two parts of the series check them out here: Prepping for the prep and Draft Strategy Part 1. This time we will be plowing through the fifth to twelfth rounds. These rounds are more of …
Over the past couple months, I asked many of my Fantasy friends to help me write a book filled with great Fantasy Football Tips. Fifty Fantasy writers from dozens of websites wrote one tip each, and I mixed them in with 51 of my own Fantasy tips to create an awesome PDF. I’m proud to …
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 …
Time to take a look at some players that might be gathering dust on your roster, but this may be the week to clean 'em off and get them in the lineup. We're going to talk Week 3 sleepers! Last week my readers benefited from reasonable performances by my Week 2 Sleepers. Almost all of …
As we look down our rosters every week, sometimes we wind up with more questions than answers when we're trying to decide who to start. There are certainly no-brainers every week, but often we will be looking at a position on our roster that is weak. We draft players every year that we hope to …
Fantasy owners in PPR leagues don’t normally change their opinions, too much when they look at 2013 Fantasy Football Tight End PPR Rankings. Or at least, they don’t change their standard rankings as much as PPR Running Back Rankings or PPR Wide Receiver Rankings. Basically, when adjusting your standard rankings to PPR rankings for tight …
The 2013 Fantasy Tight End Rankings are full of questions and potential and possible disappointment. You have incredible amounts of talent near the top, mixed with plenty of pitfalls and opportunities for busts. NFL offenses have become more prolific in the air than ever before, with 16 different quarterbacks throwing 500 or more pass attempts …
You can only take in so many pieces of advice when preparing for your draft, so I thought I'd come up with some last-second Fantasy tips to confuse your mind further. Actually, did you know that during a speech, orators are told that listeners generally remember THREE things during that talk, so they try to …
To most they're simply Sleeper Picks, but I prefer the Super Sexy Secret Sleeper Pick phrase. So when you add a few 2013 Fantasy Football Sleepers to your roster feel free to add a few extra S words. Believe me, it feels good. Speaking of 2013 Fantasy Football Sleepers, who was in the know on …
The Quarterback position is DEEP! But, is rolling with a Quarterback by Committee a realistic fantasy option? But I digressing. I went wild Saturday night. My wife was bartending, I was home with the kids and splurged. I entered an APEX Fantasy Money League. The draft was at 6pm my time, which meant it was …
I listen to a lot of podcasts. I listen to these podcasts to pass the time and fill my head with information while I go through the monotony of everyday tasks: cooking, cleaning, driving, and doing the dishes. For me listening to podcasts is a passive activity, which allows me to gain the mental stimulation one …
Nearly every year, we end up hearing a lot of hype surrounding some rookie tight end. This year, however, the 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie Tight End rankings are topped off by a player that is joining a team with a pretty good pass-catching tight end already. More on him in a bit! Last year, we …
The key component to any NFL franchise these days is the quarterback. Look at all of the past 10 Super Bowl champions; they all had Super Bowl-caliber quarterbacks. The teams I’ll be discussing are not Super Bowl-caliber teams. However, these quarterbacks are crucial for Fantasy production for numerous other players. I hope to clear up …
Most Fantasy Strength of Schedule (SOS) rankings utilize data points from the previous seasons defensive fantasy points allowed to determine who will have the easy or hard schedule in the upcoming season. This gives you a decent baseline, but obviously you need to apply some human intervention to the purely stat-based rankings to come up …
Over the past few weeks, we've taken a closer look at some of the different injuries Fantasy owners should be aware of as the Fantasy Football draft season approaches. We talked about injured quarterbacks, injured running backs and injured wide receivers in recent weeks. And today, we're wrapping up this series with a look at …
Once again, we know how important it is to keep up to date on injured running backs, especially since many of these guys will be picked in the earlier rounds. Never fear, as we check out the medical charts on a couple dozen injured running backs. You should also understand that you don’t always have …
Injured quarterbacks are just one of the many news items you have to track during the Fantasy Football offseason. You have to know who goes where in free agency, and figure out which veterans have new competition breathing down their necks after the NFL Draft. So it's easy to understand when we miss out on …
In the NFL, talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. More so than comments by front office members, coaches, and team officials, the NFL Draft gives a true indication of what a team thinks of veteran players currently on their roster. This is a two-part article that will look at last week's draft …
It wasn’t long ago that the tight end position was considered super-deep with stars aplenty. But here we are, looking at the 2013 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings, and we realize that many of the stars have faded quite a bit. Does that mean you can still invest a high draft pick in a tight …
Sunday night, I was invited by FantasyTrade411.com invited me into a mock draft for their 2013 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide (COMING SOON!). A few rounds into the draft, I decided to bite on Indians C/1B Carlos Santana. And as I was looking at my lineup, it suddenly dawned on me that this is one of …
[Editor's Note: Once a week, we're going to be exposed to the inner workings of the Mind of a Yeti. 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. Week 1 is nearly complete, and you probably …
What an amazing season turned in by Saints TE Jimmy Graham!?! He caught a position-high 99 passes for 1,310 yards, with 11 touchdowns, and an incredible 197 points! He scored more Fantasy points than any other tight end in NFL history, and he has to rank as the best at his position in the 2012 …
The passing game has taken over the Fantasy Football world, and the 2012 Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings should show it. But here’s the thing – it still shouldn’t change much in how you should approach your Fantasy draft. While quarterbacks are blowing up, throwing for more yardage and more touchdown passes, the wide receiver position …
As the preseason comes to a close, we believe we’re learning what the future holds for our 2012 Fantasy Football season. But are we taking the hints seriously, and adjusting our thinking, or are we keeping our minds made up, no matter what? Then again, if we do change our thinking, are we overreacting to …
