Whoever opens the 2016 season as the stretch-X receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers will be a player that fantasy owners are going to want to target, provided their ADP doesn’t spike to the third round like Martavis Bryant’s did before he was suspended for the 2016 season. My money is on that player being second year uber-athlete Sammie Coates.

Sammie Coates was a polarizing prospect coming out of Auburn in 2015, but he’s the team’s best option to fill the void left by Martavis Bryant’s suspension. And with a quarterback like Ben Roethlisberger at the controls of the passing attack, that would make him a steal in fantasy drafts if he continues to be overlooked.

Brian Quick’s comparables include Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, and Larry Fitzgerald, and he just signed a 1-year “prove it” deal for $1.5 million guaranteed with the Rams. Brian Quick’s contract may prove to be the biggest steal of free agency in 2016.

At just 26-years old, this might be a make or break year for Brian Quick. He is the cheapest elite-level prospect in fantasy football and he can be acquired at a nominal amount. If you claim to be a member of #TeamBigWR and care about historical comps when compiling a fantasy roster, then Brian Quick must be on your fantasy football team in 2016.

Wide receivers get all the dynasty love in the world. Running backs have been fawned over in redraft for as long as fantasy has been around. Quarterbacks get all the money, accolades, and Papa John’s commercials. Where is all the love for tight ends?

The tight end position represents the greatest market inefficiency in dynasty league football. MyCole Pruitt, Vance McDonald, and Nile Paul are three NFC sleeper tight ends with serious stash appeal.

If fantasy footballers have learned anything from Doug Baldwin and Wes Welker, it’s that sometimes all you need to be a fantasy football dynamo is plus agility, a pass-happy offense, an above-average quarterback and a chance.

Despite the “whelming” nature of the 2016 rookie wide receiver draft class, there are some prospects with strong enough agility metrics to suggest that a season like Doug Baldwin’s 2015 is in their range of possible outcomes in a perfect storm-type of environment.

No one could’ve predicted Doug Baldwin’s breakout before the 2015 NFL season started. But once the perfect storm of opportunity hit and Seattle became a predominantly passing team, Baldwin was able to use his elite agility to score touchdowns from all areas of the field en route to his first Top 10 fantasy wide receiver campaign.

When a wide receiver with great-to-elite agility becomes the focal point of a high-volume NFL passing offense led by a good-to-great quarterback, no matter the receiver’s size, fantasy owners should do everything in their power to acquire that player in all formats. As players like Doug Baldwin and Wes Welker have shown us, sometimes all you need to be a fantasy football difference-maker is plus agility, a pass-happy offense, an above-average quarterback and a chance.

Recently, the RotoUnderworld Team took the site to the next level rolling out a Data Analysis Tool that allows owners to aggregate the stats and metrics that they value most into a sortable spreadsheet. Being able to sort through the data quickly allows owners to identify and group players that fit the mold and preferences they desire.

These advanced data analysis capabilities helped me identify the cornerstone wide receivers of my first MFL10 roster of the season. Whether or not you agree with my picks, or the metrics I chose to build my WR archetype, the Data Analysis Tool helped me cancel out noise and focus on the numbers that I think matter most.

If you are not actively trying to get Jeff Janis on all your dynasty teams, I don’t really think you’re trying to win your league.

25 of the best fantasy football analysts from various sites and services reveal the one inexpensive player that they are most voraciously targeting in dynasty leagues this offseason.

“I didn’t go to Harvard expecting to be an NFL player. I just got good, and then decided, well, I should probably give this a shot. It’s something I love, I’m pretty good at it, so why not?’’

Does it sound like Ben Braunecker is fully committed to being the next Charles Clay? Not to me. Good luck chasing the next “biology” fad, Ben.

Fantasy football running back analysis often revolves around three core physical traits: size, speed, and receiving skills.

Javorius Allen checks these boxes is now the most undervalued running back in across fantasy football formats.

According to my patent-pending mainstream popularity algorithm, a wide receiver equivalent of the anti-Cam Newton who breaks out in story book fashion should be the darling of middle America. The physically imposing, yet pathologically humble small school wide receiver desperate to please his coaches who rises out of a sports world primordial soup should be America’s next can’t-miss football sweetheart. The seventh round draft pick from Tawas City, Michigan that few NFL scouts took seriously who then erupts on the biggest possible stage at the most critical possible time should be waved around as the personification of the America Dream.

Jeff Janis personifies the American Dream, and you hate him for it.
