One-Man Backfields to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts - Running Back Workehorses

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team.

The Deepest Dive - Wide Receiver Sleepers in 16+ Team Fantasy Football Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. Can you think of their average structure?

Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairs to Target

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Competitive Receiving Corps to Fade in 2022 Fantasy Drafts

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team.

Running Back Committees Not to Avoid in 2022

Nobody likes a running back committee. Until you have to do so just out of pure logic. If we're offered the chance of drafting a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019, we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends up being. Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2022

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups.
