Kyle Pitts

17 Jul , 2022
Considering how early Pitts will go in fantasy drafts, he needs to finish with (at worst, I think) top-5 numbers among tight ends to justify where he’ll be taken. The Falcons are starting with Mar...

Jahan Dotson

15 Jul , 2022
He’s a smaller guy; no getting around that. Dotson measured 5-foot-11 and 178 pounds at the combine. But he can play...

Older wide receivers

11 Jul , 2022
With most wide receivers, wear and tear isn’t a big issue. There are a few who play with a physical style (looking at you, Deebo Samuel), making them more prone to wide receivers...

Workhorse running backs

11 Jul , 2022
I took a look at all the other running backs to have at least 300 carries in the last 20 years. There have been 91 other backs, so about 4-5 per year...

Older running backs

10 Jul , 2022
On typical boards, the top 10 at running back is crowded by players who came into the league in 2017...
Leonard Fournette Austin Ekeler Aaron Jones Dalvin Cook Joe Mixon

Jared Goff

10 Jul , 2022
Perhaps he's been lucky to have good coaching staffs and players around him, or maybe merely staying healthy and showing up to work is a large part of it...

Transplant quarterbacks

9 Jul , 2022
While there may be some issues with learning new offenses and adjusting to new teammates, good quarterbacks are good quarterbacks...
Russell Wilson Baker Mayfield Deshaun Watson Matt Ryan

Jonathan Taylor

8 Jul , 2022
It's remarkable considering Taylor opened the 2020 season as a backup, and potentially Indianapolis' 3rd-busiest running back (behind Marlon Mack, who started that game, and Nyheim Hines)...

Goal-line passing

7 Jul , 2022
Other quarterbacks, after all, have received extensions that haven’t aged well, with Jared Goff and Carson Wentz leading the way...
Kyler Murray Kliff Kingsbury DeAndre Hopkins

Cole Kmet

4 Jul , 2022
Kmet caught 60 passes last season, which is something about 8-10 tight ends per season, on average, have been able to do...

Red zone kickers

3 Jul , 2022
In recent years, those offenses have tended to bog down around the goal line. In both of the last two seasons, in fact, they’ve had the most field goal likely offenses in the red zone...

Bottom-feeder offenses

30 Jun , 2022
It’s an issue we were kicking around earlier in the week. Andy posted a chart showing receiving production for the best wide receivers on teams with lousy win-loss records...

Running backs on bad teams

28 Jun , 2022
In my head, I figured the No. 1 wide receivers would do OK, since those losing teams would be passing a lot and piling up late production. And I figured most of the No...

Wide receivers on bad teams

27 Jun , 2022
In my mind, I figure a team that loses a lot would be passing more often, and could potentially have a top fantasy receiver...

Rookie receivers

26 Jun , 2022
Not that any of the first-round receivers look great to me. Drake London is going to an Atlanta team that I think will finish with the worst record in the league...
