New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will look to repeat his monster Week 1 performance when the Saints take on the Browns in Week 2. The Browns were bend-but-don't-break against the Steelers in [...]

Week 1 was not a memorable opening week for NFL tight ends. While New England's Rob Gronkowski got off to a great start (123 yards and a TD), other top tight ends were not as fortunate. Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker and David Njoku suffered injuries, Zach Ertz dropped passes like he was Amari Cooper, while Evan Engram and Jimmy Graham combined for four catches for 26 yards. So if you are in the market for a new tight end for your fantasy team, here is a look at a handful that could helpful e[...]

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? Well, my finish as the ninth-most accurate in-season expert on FantasyPros out of ~125 smart cookies last season should suffice. I'm out here trying to hang with the Sean Koerners and Jake Cielys of the world, and you'll have a [...]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will have an excellent matchup when the Saints open up the season at home against the Buccaneers. Thomas is coming off of a season where he caught 104 passes for 1,245 yards and five touchdowns. He will go up against a Buccaneers secondary that allowed the most receiving yards (2,873) to opposing receivers in 2017. In two games against Tampa Bay last season, Thomas racked up 14 receptions for 161 yards. It is hard to get a read on defenses this ea[...]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~180 CURRENT ADP: ~250 ANALYSIS: At 6'2" and 210 lbs., the Saints have a big receiver in Tre'Quan Smith to potentially pair on the opposite side of the field as Michael Thomas. With the running game of Alvin Kamara and eventually Mark Ingram, this combination of offensive weapons could mean a lot of production in Smith's direction for 2018. Coming out of Central Florida, Smith was considered to be a future playmaker in New Orleans. And after his great preseason, it[...]

As fantasy football gets bigger, and access to information comes easier, sometimes you have to zig when everyone else zags. When you combine the depth at running back, and the level of success of the top wide receivers, 2018 is a prime year for the "Zero RB" strategy. They might say you need to take a running back early. They will tell you wait on wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks. Stop The Slander!   Zero RB Gameplan It has long been the accepted strategy to go running[...]

One of the most important decisions fantasy players must make during a draft is when to go after a quarterback. Going after one early usually doesn't make that much sense. There isn't a huge drop off between the top guys like Aaron Rodgers and mid-tier guys listed below, and they come at a much lower cost and with little risk. Inside Injuries predicts the impact of injuries on player performance by using data analytics, medical expertise and statistical modeling. You can read all about them [...]

Halfway through the pre-season and we are one week closer to real football! Well, hopefully, it's real football. Many fans, analysts, and even players have a nervous feeling about the product we will see on the field this season thanks to rule changes and safety precautions. My thoughts? Let's just be thankful we have football to watch. With a collective bargaining agreement that needs to be renegotiated soon, I just want to take a moment to remind all fans (because we are all fans at heart) [...]
