Volume receivers
25 May
, 2022
But as I look at previous receivers who’ve caught 120 passes (and there are 14 of them), they did a lot better as a group than I was expecting.
Two of them completely imploded, but injuries were i...
Allen Robinson

, 2022
I'm concerned about the backfield, definitely. Cam Akers came back in record time from a torn Achilles, but he didn't look good while doing so, so he's a question mark...
Rookie receivers
22 May
, 2022
In nine of the last 10 years, multiple receivers have finished with top-40 overall stats. (That’s using PPR scoring)...
Najee Harris

Harris ran the ball 307 times as a rookie, with another 74 touches on receptions...
Packers sans Adams
20 May
, 2022
Green Bay, in fact, has played seven games without Adams in the last three years, and the offense has actually been BETTER in those games, at least by the numbers...
Sophomore QBs
19 May
, 2022
Five years in a row, some of the best draft picks at quarterback have been second-year player who got a lot better.
Back in 2017, you had Carson Wentz, who was on his way to the MVP award before t...
Kenny Pickett

, 2022
When first-round quarterbacks don't start most of their rookie seasons, as was the case with Trey Lance for San Francisco last year, it's increasingly rare -- anomalous, you could say...
Josh Allen
17 May
, 2022
I looked into the numbers some on this, and they confirm what I have suspected. Allen’s success rate hasn’t been as high on those kind of plays.
Consider “and one” rushing plays...
Mark Andrews

But I think I’m still leaning towards Kelce. With him, you know what you’re getting...
Atlanta Falcons
15 May
, 2022
If Mariota doesn’t play well enough, he’ll be pulled at some point...
Jared Goff
15 May
, 2022
But while Goff may not be an elite passer, he has done some good things in his career, especially in fantasy leagues...
Cade York
13 May
, 2022
Of the last 10 kickers selected in the fifth round, for example, none of them have lasted three years with the team that drafted them...
Pocket passers
9 May
, 2022
With rushing production tending to be worth about twice as much in typical fantasy scoring systems, it’s a huge edge to run for 700 yards. That’s statistically equivalent to throwing for 1,400...
Travis Kelce
5 May
, 2022
There were times last year that I thought he had dipped some. During one 10-game stretch, he caught only 53 passes for 586 yards and 2 TDs...
Rookie tight ends
5 May
, 2022
Kyle Pitts went over 1,000 yards a year ago, but that's the exception rather than the rule. Since 2000, only seven rookie tight ends have ranked in the top 12 at the position in PPR scoring...
