Justin Carter's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
It's bold prediction SZN and I am ready! This is the space for going out on a limb and making predictions that you're only maybe 10 percent sure will happen, but 100 percent sure that you want to happen. This is where, last year, I confidently proclaimed Patrick Mahomes a top-five fantasy quarterback before, umm,... Read More
Why Zero-RB Still Won't Work in 2019
Zero-RB is a popular strategy that is touted online by several fantasy analysts. The gist of it is basically avoiding the running back position completely throughout the first few rounds of the draft, or taking a first-round workhorse, and then targeting wide receivers and maybe a premium tight end early on. The strategy, if properly... Read More
Analyzing Value in the 2019 Rookie RB Class (Part 1)
Last year was a particularly great year for rookie rushers, and it served as a reminder for how important it is to get familiar with these backs.

Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football
In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored...

Running Back Standard Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
Running backs don’t matter. This may or may not be true in the real NFL but in fantasy, it surely isn’t the case. If it were the case, why are the top four consensus players all at the position? It is always great to have one of the top guys at the position. But if... Read More

Navigating Late-Round Tight Ends
When should I draft a tight end? This is one of the questions in fantasy football that gets the biggest split of answers. There is the clear cut tier of Travis Kelce (who you could argue is in a tier of his own), Zach Ertz and George Kittle, but their ADPs are high. With all... Read More
Around the NFL Pop Quiz: NFC North
In an effort to write these columns before the start of the season, I ask a lot of people their thoughts on everyone under the sun in fantasy. None of these interactions are as rewarding when I ask my wife her thoughts on her favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. They aren't, uh, thorough. Me:... Read More
Indianapolis Colts 2019 Outlook: Out of Luck
The Andrew Luck era is over for Indianapolis. I only have one word to say about how I feel about Luck calling it a career: Respect. No anger. No malice. Just Respect.

How to Approach the Patriots Backfield in 2019
Success for a running back in fantasy football is largely about volume. Workhorse backs who dominate snaps are ideal, committees who rotate depending on the game script are a problem. Less certain backfields start to become much more prevalent in the middle rounds and beyond in fantasy drafts, and deciding how to approach each one... Read More
Top Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters
Zero RB discussion comes and goes every season, it certainly works in theory. Running backs are injured more often than wide receivers, and that means you are better to spend your high draft capital on elite wide receiver talent, then pick up your running backs later (try and pick several to give you more opportunity...

Unorthodox Draft Strategies
One of the biggest factors left out of the draft-day discussion is the makeup of your league.
