Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree is primed for a significant role in the red zone with Breshad Perriman being cut on Saturday. The team's tight end corps took a blow early in the preseason with a foot injury to first-round rookie Hayden Hurst, and while his replacement Mark Andrews showed well to finish out the preseason, it's a safe bet that Crabtree will be the primary beneficiary in the red zone. Look for Crabtree to finish the season in the eight to 10 touchdown range in an of[...]

As we approach the final stretch of fantasy football drafts before the start of the season, average draft positions (ADPs) are changing on a daily basis. My job is to make sure you are up to date and not reaching on certain players, so I have tracked all of the significant risers and fallers since exactly one week ago. Here is a position-by-position breakdown of the top movers in terms of draft position just before the season begins. All ADP data is taken from Fantasy Football Calculator. [...]

Next up to bat, stepping up the plate... wait, wrong sport. I've been all in on football for the past month or so between drafts, mocks, rankings, and stalking Josh Gordon's Twitter feed, but I am a baseball junkie too (and football and hockey and soccer and table tennis and rugby and anything that resembles a sport with a ball other than golf which isn't really a sport but I digress). Just as with my fearless and highly questionable predictions for the baseball season (Lewis Brinson, you fai[...]

In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored one yet, even though I know my claim is absurd. It's kind of my gimmick. It is only fitting that I convert my ridiculous claims into actual bold takes posted on the internet for the world to see. [...]

You are confronted by multiple challenges when determining which tight ends to select for your rosters. The hefty investment that is necessary in order to secure one of the highly productive options guarantees that an enticing collection of running backs and wide receivers will elude you during a critical early round. But you are also at risk of squandering your chance to remain competitive at the position if you exercise too much patience, as the result of an excruciating positional run that si[...]

As teams have now played two exhibition games, things are starting to get more clear. You'll hear a lot of overreaction from other sites, but we're here to tell you what really matters this early in the exhibition season. There are two things that really matter this early in the preseason: injuries and player roles. Ignore noise like big-splash plays, or long runs against third stringers, and look deeper to see how the coaching staff appears to view players in accordance with the depth chart.[...]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: ~140 ANALYSIS: Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson provides everything from an aesthetics perspective that we could desire in a big play wide receiver, and while expectations were high heading into last season, Doctson did not completely disappoint amassing six touchdown receptions on just 35 receptions.  While the receptions number leaves much to be desired, Doctson was extremely efficient on both Comeback routes and ‘Go' routes, rank[...]

Newly-acquired Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree hauled in his only target from quarterback Joe Flacco in Monday night's preseason match-up with the Colts. The connection was good for a 29-yard gain along the sidelines. Both Crabtree and new teammate John Brown, who was also a free agent signing, have shown early chemistry with their new quarterback thus far. This chemistry should translate to the regular season and boosts the fantasy stock of both Flacco and his new receivers. Cra[...]

Often times, what draws spectators and fantasy enthusiasts to a wide receiver is their size, their speed, their ability to reach over defenders and snatch balls out of the air, and their ability to score touchdowns. That's all well and good, but rarely do we look at what makes a wide receiver truly special -; their ability to run routes.   Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney once said the wide receiver position is one of the worst-coached in football because you just can't teach efficiency, [...]
