I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a recommendation for Chris Godwin as a Week 10 streamer: "You know, Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't terrible...  *ducks under desk Disgruntled Jets fans have cast him aside long ago, but for a backup QB h[...]

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. I did decently in Week 1, scoring 29th out of ~130 experts, but if I'm going to beat my 9th place finish from '17 then I've got work to do! I'll be examining my own ranks against the ECR on a position-by-position basis, as the overall and flex tabs can simply get insane with every position folded in with [...]

After spending months, weeks, and days subtracting the amount of time that remained until the regular season, we have now shifted focus toward adding numbers instead. This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they are collecting. Each week, this article will examine these specific categories, along with any other noteworthy changes in usage that signal an increase or regressi[...]

As is tradition, Week 1 provided the usual head-scratching performances we've grown accustomed to start the year. Matthew Stafford looked discombobulated, the Amari Cooper rebound year did not get off to a good start, and LeSean McCoy looks hopeless in Buffalo. All these disappointments aside, we did end up with some positive takeaways. Here you'll find your weekly dose of deeper PPR sleepers who are worth a look on the waiver wire. They won't all be winners, but we'll learn more about thes[...]

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall was thought to be over the hill by the majority of the NFL, but it looks like Seattle intends on getting plenty of mileage out of the 34-year-old. Marshall led the team in targets in Week 1 with six, and his three catches included a critical touchdown grab on a long third down scramble drill. [...]

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. If this is your first time reading me, then hi! Why should you care about me?

I'm out here trying to hang with the Sean Koerners and Jake Cielys of the world, and you'll have a [...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide reciever Quincy Enunwa could be listed as a WR/TE hybrid and we are not sure anyone would be able to mount a counterargument. The six-foot-two, 225-pound Enunwa has breakaway speed and the power to shake off arm tackles, but is forgotten after a neck injury suffered in training camp last season took away his 2017. We would happily let Robby Anderson handle the outside while Enunwa eats up interi[...]
