The 2022 Raiders Backfield Breakdown is part of an offseason series in which I take a deep dive into one NFL team’s backfield and examine the respective rushing performances of the players in it. In doing so, I hope to gain insights into key players from a talent evaluation standpoint, and using that evaluation as a baseline, from a dynasty valuation standpoint. The first installments in the series can be found here.

They say life is better in Miami. It sure seems that way for Dolphins fans. In comes a new head coach, a re-built back field, and an upgraded offensive line. Plus, the addition of the now highest paid wide receiver in football, Tyreek Hill.

One of the more popular approaches to team building in fantasy football is the Hero RB strategy. Some may call it “modified zero RB,” others may call it “anchor RB,” and others may call it what it used to be known as “punting RB2.”

For the second year in a row, the Dolphins were led on the ground by Myles Gaskin. Behind him, a committee of ancillary players all saw significant work. These players included Duke Johnson, Salvon Ahmed, Phillip Lindsay, and Malcolm Brown. Each of these players had at least 33 carries. For good measure, Patrick Laird added one rushing attempt.

Do the Minnesota Vikings have what it takes to dethrone Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers this year? The Vikings certainly have a talented roster, but as with all rosters a lot depends on the play of the quarterback, and no quarterback has been maligned as much by their respective fan base as Kirk Cousins.

The 2022 Jets Backfield Breakdown is part of an offseason series in which I take a deep dive into one NFL team’s backfield and examine the respective rushing performances of the players in it. In doing so, I hope to gain insights into key players from a talent evaluation standpoint and use that evaluation as a baseline from a dynasty valuation standpoint.

We build dominant fantasy rosters by amassing arsenals of elite individual players. Some individual talents succeed no matter their team situation, but year after year, fantasy gamers gain a leg up by simply gathering the assets from the most potent NFL offenses.

Jalen Hurts was the QB2 overall during Weeks 1-12 only behind Josh Allen which showed a glimpse of his massive potential and upside. During Weeks 1-6, Mike Williams was the WR4 in PPR formats and went for 30+ fantasy points in two of the six games.

This article recaps a high stakes fantasy football team I drafted in THE FOOTBALLGUYS PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP! The entry fee was 350 dollars. The rosters consist of 20 players with 10 starters including QB-RB-RB-WR-WR-TE-FLEX-FLEX-K-DEF. The scoring settings are standard PPR scoring with a 1.5 PPR for the tight end position.

It’s already concerning Olave wasn’t an early declare, but beyond that, he ranked third among Ohio State pass-catchers in receptions, yards, and yards-per-reception – in his SENIOR SEASON. Obviously, his competition for targets were no slouches (Wilson and Smith-Njigba), but it’s hard to brush that tidbit of data off.
Williams can presumably win downfield, but much of his production came from his elite YAC prowess. He is a dangerous return man and an electric athlete in space – the polar opposite of Olave.
