Dynasty Strategy: Youth vs. Veterans

by

One of the biggest debates in dynasty leagues is, and has always been, how to appropriately weigh the age and experience of assets on a dynasty roster. Both sides of the coin have redeeming qualities and negatives, but there are some truths that ring true. There are a few bases (four in this piece!) that

Draft Pockets

by

Anyone can read an ADP list, even though most folks don’t use those correctly (How to Use ADP Properly). Nuance though, like as reading the draft room, is likely even more important than the same old list. That said, there’s still another way to use an ADP list to your advantage that was listed in

Best WR Prospects Since 2010

by

Sometimes, it’s good to keep things in perspective. As each year (and draft class) rolls along, there’s an ever growing database of prospects that builds. While it’s helpful to evaluate players class-to-class, another very important factor is taking a step back and seeing where these prospects land in the big picture. WR prospects like Anquan

RB Yards Per Attempt and Future Fantasy Performance

by

In 2018, the two most-highly drafted RBs of the most recent drafts put up very different rushing yards per attempt.  Saquon Barkley ran for 5.0 yards per attempt.  Leonard Fournette only managed 3.3 YPA.  Does either number tell us anything about their likely fantasy production in 2019? There is a lot of research to show

Running Backs and the NFL Draft

by

I recently published an article about Saquon Barkley, Leonard Fournette, and what their widely disparate yards per carry (5.0 and 3.3, respectively) might mean for their 2019 fantasy prospects.  As often happens, this took me down a couple of other rat-holes – including how many RBs have been drafted in the first round since 1988.

From the Gut: Draft Slot Strategies

by

Here we goooo! With the regular season just around the corner, most of us are in heavy draft mode. Some of us who play NFBC (and even many folks who play elsewhere – Fantrax, RT, ESPN, CBS, etc.) usually find out our draft spots well ahead of the actual draft. Whether you’re in a 10,

Managing FAAB: Free Agent Acquisition Budget

by

The majority of fantasy baseball leagues have thankfully joined modern times where picking up free agents is no longer a first-come, first-serve experience. For those who still employee this format, please consider running a league vote to switch to FAAB. No matter how you pronounce it, FAAB stands for Free Agent Acquisition Budget but the

Fantasy Defense Scoring: The History of This Year’s Coaches

by

A quick review of my methods:  I’m studying from 2002 to the present and only looking at Tm Defensive (Tm D) fantasy scoring, NOT defense AND special teams (D/ST) scoring.  Here’s the scoring system I’m using: Interceptions = 2 FP Fumble Recoveries by the Defense = 2 FP Sacks = 1 FP Safeties = 2

Overall Rankings Are Useless

I wasn’t planning on writing this article this season. I thought that, after years of explaining why Overall Rankings lists are a waste of time, that people would stop asking for it. I was wrong. Since it’s still a question that I regularly receive, ‘Ray, where I can see the rankings but where is the
