A diligent dynasty manager should constantly be mindful of the ever-changing NFL landscape and how it affects players that have yet to fully break out. Being knowledgeable about team contracts and where players stand on their respective depth charts can provide clues that reveal increased or decreased pathways to opportunity, the number one driver of fantasy scoring. This knowledge, coupled with a familiarity of player athletic and talent profiles should be used to identify those post-hype players that can be cheaply…

Mark Twain once said, “Honesty is the best policy – when there’s money in it.” That truth applies no less today than it did over 100 years ago in March 1901 when Twain uttered those words. NFL teams certainly agree. It has often been said that teams are only honest with the public at the draft and in free agency. If that is true, then as a dynasty manager walking the tightrope of staying on top of player value we should use any cue we get to give ourselves an edge. Why? Well knowing how tied to a player a team is on the…

It’s all over. A season’s worth of diving into matchups, offensive schemes, defensive strategies, and coaching tendencies. It is now Week 16 and Fantasy’s Promised land is ripe for the taking. If you managed to survive the treacherous first two weeks of the playoffs these are the guys that will help you take that title home. No fluff, zero frills… It’s time to learn about some on the fence players that can win you the 2018 season’s Fantasy Football Title. (This column will exclude Saturday games) Week 16 Start ‘em Sit ‘em…

Context is King. With so much data available to sports analysts and fans willing to put in the effort to find it we, as a fantasy community, have come to the point of information overload. As fantasy football gamers begin to lean less and less on the eye test (with good reason), the new question becomes: which numbers matter? And why? In reasoning what numbers stand out as signal versus what to tune out as noise my answer might seem ambivalent but stick with me. They all do. The trick to using them correctly is to…

It's crunch time as most fantasy football leagues enter their semi-finals. You're supposed to dance with the ones that got you there, but what happens when those players are not on the dance floor this week? You're going to need to make a lot of smart decisions to make it to championship week. Hopefully my Week 15 Starts and Sits can help you make it that one more week.

They said we wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. We laughed. They said the Jaguars were a quality defense. We agreed. They said Dion Lewis graded out as a better running back than Derrick Henry. That may still be true. Regardless Henry absolutely smashed Thursday night and burned down the benches of thousands of fantasy teams. If you played against him, my condolences. If you started him, congratulations. You made an incredibly -EV decision that had almost every plausible statistical consideration going against Henry’s…

Sit OBJ and Tom Brady? What is Etan Mozia thinking?

The Thursday games were an interesting trio that highlighted a few things we already know about some of the Thanksgiving participants and have other things we as a fantasy community have yet to fully grasp. Before we get to the Week 12 Starts and Sits let's count some things we can be thankful for.#1 -  We are thankful for a truly dominant defense. It’s a rare sight in the modern high scoring era to see a team that can win game in game out with a defensive focus the rest of the league cannot match. The Bears are on…

One game away from away from the completion of Week 11 is the perfect time to talk about what comes next for your dynasty squad. Barring major injuries, we know what roles players are locked into and have seen some level of turnover at the more unstable jobs around the league (Jones/Williams, Edwards/Collins, Cobb/MVS). We’re now into the stretch run and only two weeks away from the fantasy playoffs. As a dynasty owners it's important to never be content and to never… EVER sit still. Let's talk about some actionable dynasty…
