Rookie kickers

4 Jul , 2023
Since I started playing fantasy football, 14 kickers have been selected in the first three rounds of drafts...
Jake Moody Chad Ryland Anders Carlson

Mac Jones

4 Jul , 2023
Certainly Jones' struggles last season can be blamed at least partly on the team's offensive coordinator vacancy, with a weird combination of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge running things...

Efficient receivers

2 Jul , 2023
Treylon Burks, Rashid Shaheed, Darius Slayton and Terrace Marshall also fit this profile. None caught a ton of passes last year, but they mixed in a healthy number of impact plays...

Garrett Wilson

2 Jul , 2023
Rodgers is 39 years old, but it's debatable whether he's lost much. He's just a year removed from an MVP season. New York, meanwhile, had to do something...

Mike Evans

1 Jul , 2023
Evans has gone over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first nine seasons, and he admits he’d love to do it twice more, tying Jerry Rice’s all-time record. “I think about it ,” Evans said in an ...

Touchdown passes

1 Jul , 2023
So I looked at the history of teams throwing less than 15 touchdown passes since 2002 -- the start of the 32-team era...

Jacksonville Jaguars

29 Jun , 2023
In the 32-team era, only 23 teams (about one per year) have improved by over 200 points, and they’re shown below. The Jaguars scored 151 more points, while also allowing 107 fewer...

George Pickens

29 Jun , 2023
One that leaps out is touchdowns: Pickens caught 5, Johnson didn't catch any. But what was especially remarkable was that Pickens' 801 yards came on just 84 targets...

Sophomore QBs

27 Jun , 2023
In the case of Ridder, a third-round pick a year ago, the Falcons have used top-10 picks the last three years on skill-position guys: Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Bijan Robinson...
Sam Howell Desmond Ridder

Sophomore Slump? (Wide receivers)

27 Jun , 2023
With running backs, the numbers were inconclusive. About half of the solid rookies put up similar or better numbers in Year 2, about half declined by a decent amount...
Chris Olave Garrett Wilson George Pickens Drake London

Dameon Pierce

26 Jun , 2023
The Texans ranked next-to-last in rushing last year, down at 87 yards per game. They also scored only 7 rushing touchdowns all year (also next-to-last)...

Sophomore Slump?

26 Jun , 2023
There's no definitive threshold for what constitutes rookie year success, but I went with running backs who rushed for over 800 yards in their first seasons...
Isiah Pacheco Kenneth Walker Tyler Allgeier Dameon Pierce

Zach Charbonnet

25 Jun , 2023
I don’t believe the selection of Charbonnet is an indictment of Walker. Instead, I think they’re just looking to bolster the position...

Alabama running backs

24 Jun , 2023
Gibbs ran a 4.36 at the combine, and teams are always going to want to get that kind of speed on the field. He's a little undersized (5-9, 199), so it makes sense for Detroit to also use Montgomery...
Jahmyr Gibbs

Slower running backs

23 Jun , 2023
It might not. For this table, I took a look at all the running backs drafted in the first three rounds the last 10 years...
