Biggest Running Back Breakouts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review
Biggest Quarterback Breakouts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review
This list was hard to create. Hence why it is a short one. Most of the quarterbacks who were great like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Josh Allen were already stars and therefore not breakouts. Even other stars like Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, and Lamar Jackson took steps backward. This left a minimal number of... Read More
Biggest Wide Receiver Breakouts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review
What is a breakout? In fantasy football, we tend to use so many different adjectives to define players and it's hard to keep track of what they all mean. Fantasy managers often see players "break out." We all remember the Peyton Hillis', Gary Barnidge's, and Robert Tonyan's of the world, am I right? Those aren't... Read More
Biggest Tight End Breakouts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review
There were several tight ends who made their fantasy football general managers very happy during the 2021 season. While Kansas City standout Travis Kelce had another scintillating season, and Atlanta rookie Kyle Pitts showed the football universe why he will be a fantasy force for the next decade, there were many tight ends who had...

Must-Have Players for 2021 Fantasy Football
Winning in fantasy football requires just one simple strategy: pick the best players. Of course, we don't know who those players will be, otherwise it would be too easy. That's where extensive research and opportunistic drafting comes into play. Luckily, I've done the first part for you, the reader. The rest is up to you.... Read More
Must-Have Wide Receivers for 2021 Fantasy Football
So many players, not enough roster spots. That's often the feeling you have after wrapping up a fantasy football draft when your must-have players didn't last until your pick or your favorite sleepers were left undrafted. The solution - join at least 10 leagues and you're almost guaranteed to get them all somewhere! For those... Read More
Must-Have Running Backs for 2021 Fantasy Football
If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes... Read More
Must-Have Backup Running Backs
After a turbulent season in 2020, Week 1 is right around the corner. Historically, most leagues aren't won by who is taken in the first few rounds of fantasy drafts. Instead, it's by who finds those "value" options later on. Also, a majority of the most successful league managers remain committed to searching the waiver... Read More
All-Sleeper Team - 2021 Fantasy Football
Imagine if you had to draft a fantasy football team but could only pick players from the 10th round on. That's the exercise I undertook once again. Last year, I put forth my All-Sleeper Team based on a submission to an expert ranker platform and this will be a reprisal of that column updated for... Read More
Path to RB1: Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Clyde Edwards-Helaire burned a lot of fantasy managers last season. After Damien Williams opted out of the COVID-ridden 2020 NFL season, Edwards-Helaire's Average Draft Position (ADP) skyrocketed. He was being taken as the sixth or seventh running back off the board, and for good reason. He was hand-picked by Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy... Read More
Path to WR1: D.K. Metcalf
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has had one of the more wild rides in the NFL over the last two-and-a-half years. After exploding for one of the best combine performances in recent memory, he proceeded to slide all the way to the end of the second round where the Seahawks snagged him with the... Read More
Path to QB1: Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts heads into training camp as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Unlike years past, there's no quarterback controversy in Philadelphia, giving Hurts an entire training camp and preseason to learn the offense and operate with the starters. With a new coaching regime in place, the repetitions can only help both Hurts and... Read More
Henry Ruggs III - 2021 Breakout Candidate
Henry Ruggs III was the first receiver picked in the 2020 draft to the surprise of many. Although he didn't live up to expectations in his rookie season, there are reasons for optimism when it comes to the speedy Raiders wideout. Going into year two, Ruggs is ready to take on a bigger role, and... Read More
Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Gerald Everett was stuck in a tight end timeshare as part of an offense whose passing attack rarely focused on its tight ends. Not anymore. Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks as soon as he could leave the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. He is now a multimillionaire member of Russell Wilson’s receiving... Read More

Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions - 2021 Fantasy Football
After the chaos of last season, it's hard to categorize any prediction as outrageous or overly bold. The top two picks in fantasy drafts were complete wastes due to injury, UDFA James Robinson was better than Ezekiel Elliott, Jeff Wilson Jr. was a fantasy playoff MVP... and that's just at running back. Given the offseason... Read More

Late-Round QBs That Could Be League Winners
A lot of people take a laissez-faire approach to quarterbacks in fantasy. They'll wait until some predetermined round where they want to get their first QB and then they'll just take whoever is left then. And, I mean, hey -- that's fine. You could win a league that way. But if you manage to make... Read More

Early 2021 Breakouts: Tight End
It is never too early to check a crystal ball to see what the future might hold --- especially in fantasy football. Detroit’s T.J. Hockenson had an injury-marred rookie campaign in 2019 that ruined the title hopes of many fantasy general managers, but the former first-round pick rebounded like Dennis Rodman in his sophomore season....

Early 2021 Breakouts: Quarterback
While it is early yet - no training camp, no OTAs, no pre-draft trades, is it really ever too early for fantasy predictions? Potential moves involving superstars Deshaun Watson or Aaron Rodgers could definitely shake things up. But for now, don't count the following gentlemen out as quarterbacks who could carry your fantasy team. Change... Read More

Early 2021 Breakouts: Running Back
It's never too early to talk about potential breakouts in fantasy football, right? Well, maybe sometimes it is. It's April 2021, so we're not going to discuss 2023 breakouts or anything like that. But 2021 breakouts? Oh yeah, let's go! Here are three running backs who are poised for breakouts in 2021. My criteria: these... Read More
Biggest Breakouts of 2020 - Quarterback
Fantasy football general managers put a lot of stock in young quarterbacks, and their 2020 fantasy seasons were successful if they picked the right quarterbacks to ride. There were some signal-callers fantasy footballers probably thought would have breakout years in 2020. New York’s Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones took steps back, though, while Chicago’s Mitchell...

Second-Year Receivers Ready to Break Out in 2021
There used to be a widely-held belief in the fantasy football community that wide receivers broke out in their third pro season. While the third-year breakout does happen, more and more wide receivers are breaking out in their second season. Others, like Justin Jefferson, don't even wait a year. Finding these wide receivers can potentially... Read More
Cam Akers - League Winner or Fool's Gold?
Rams running back Cam Akers has been highly-touted on many a waiver wire column heading into Week 13 following his season-high 84-yard rushing effort versus San Francisco and second consecutive week with a touchdown. For some fantasy analysts, this author included, it is a ray of hope that he may finally be blossoming into the... Read More
What to Expect from Taysom Hill
New Orleans is the number one seed in the NFC at the moment. They got there despite not having Michael Thomas most of the season. Their defense also struggled early before coming together lately. What did the team have then to make them so solid? Drew Brees. He may not be what he used to... Read More
