Fantasy Football: Old Faces, New Places: Running Backs More than a dozen running backs will put on a new NFL jersey this season, and that's not including the future talent that will be drafted next week. There are still a couple of impactful running backs available on the free agent market, such as DeMarco Murray and the recently released C.J. Anderson to keep an eye on. Some who signed landed in better fantasy football environments, while others are likely to provide a fantasy hit to their stock or new teammates.The…

Free agency is officially upon us, and the moves have been fast and furious. Many teams are eager to get in on the action and take the first steps toward improving their rosters. There has been a flurry of activity thus far, with many moves having both real life and fantasy implications. Here is a recap of some of the activity with an eye on the fantasy impact these moves will likely have as we officially enter the 2018 NFL league year. QUARTERBACKS The biggest free agent domino to fall was quarterback Kirk Cousins heading…

To illustrate just how quickly things can change in fantasy football, one just needs to view the current running back landscape compared to a few short weeks ago.

Another NFC rookie currently ranks as…

Last week I came right out of the gate in midseason form when I suggested fantasy owners should sit Kareem Hunt based on a difficult matchup.

Aside from Hunt having one of the best games we’ve ever seen from a running back in fantasy, there were several other notable takeaways from Week 1. David Johnson, fantasy’s consensus No. 1 pick, is out 2-3 months as he will be having surgery to repair a dislocated wrist. His absence and the emergence of Tarik Cohen and…

As a general rule of thumb, you don’t make friends with Cleveland Browns receivers.Just quickly, when did fantasy owners become so snobby? In case you haven't already figured it out, repeat after me: running backs in the first two rounds, receivers, then quarterbacks. It's so simple!Or, maybe not.There’s a lot to be said about all the wide receivers who will slip through the cracks. Outside of your Top 30 guys, you could make a case that pretty much anyone is a sleeper, but if there’s a name that deserves to head…
