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...

Rookie receivers

4 May , 2022

NFL draft

28 Apr , 2022
The advantage, the theory goes, is that by selecting a quarterback in the first round, it comes with the advantage of the cost-controlled fifth-year option...

Jameson Williams

27 Apr , 2022
Williams tore his ACL in January, so I don’t know that you’re getting much premium play out of him in 2022. He may start the year on the PUP list...

NFL draft

26 Apr , 2022
In this arena, I think of the Bears, Ravens and Bucs. All in previous drafts not only had multiple first-round picks but were able to parlay them into multiple Hall of Famers...
Zach Wilson

Russell Wilson

25 Apr , 2022
The Broncos have some capable pass catchers. Courtland Sutton is big, and with the ability to get downfield...

James Conner had a good season for them last year, with 18 touchdowns in 15 games...

First-round wideouts

24 Apr , 2022
While there have been a lot of success stories, NFL teams still get it wrong about as often as they get it right. For every Jefferson selected in the first round, there's a Jalen Reagor...

LA Rams

23 Apr , 2022
If we look at just wide receivers, the Rams led the league last year in every receiving category – catches, yards and touchdowns. It helps having Cooper Kupp, of course, but the Rams got to almost...

Malik Willis

22 Apr , 2022
Whether any team can get him coached up to the point where he can be put on a field in 2022, I have no idea...

Dallas Cowboys

21 Apr , 2022
The career numbers are pretty telling, with him diminishing before our eyes...
Ezekiel Elliott Tony Pollard

Dallas Goedert

20 Apr , 2022
Only four times in the last 40 years, in fact, has a tight end finished with an even better number (at least among those with at least 50 passes thrown their way)...
Dallas Goedert

Marquez Valdes-Scantling

19 Apr , 2022
Valdes-Scantling signed a three-year, $30 million contract, and while that’s not the top dollar some wideouts are getting these days, it’s a lot for a pretty marginal player...
