Ronnie Hillman and Denard Robinson seem to be separated at birth. Hillman and Robinson are small, fast running who have thrived in starring roles as workhorse backs but continue to be unfairly perceived as mere change of pace specialists.

Ronnie Hillman and Denard Robinson are the two closest comparable running backs on PlayerProfiler.com.

Kirk Cousins was named Washington’s starting quarterback after surviving for years in the Robert Griffin III controversy crucible. While Cousins has looked like a generic game manager against above-average pass defenses, he possesses the necessary arm talent and head space to shred bad defenses, particularly at home.

As a featured all-purpose weapon for a suddenly high octane 2015 Jaguars offense, Denard Robinson has a 10-point floor and a tantalizing 30-point, volume-fueled ceiling.

Kirk Cousins, Denard Robinson, Tyler Lockett, and Michael Floyd are noteworthy value plays on DraftKings in week 15.

David Johnson’s impending breakout and Darren McFadden’s surprising success both can be strongly correlated to their athleticism.

Athletically, Johnson checks all the boxes, and McFadden looks like a legitimate predecessor to DeMarco Murray.

In a year in which Chris Johnson was rejuvenated, James Jones was efficient, Ted Ginn posted career highs, and Gary Barnidge joined the elite tight end ranks, would it shock anyone if a 31-year old journeyman tight end from University of Nebraska at Omaha ascended to fantasy TE1 status overnight?

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Jones, Dorial Green-Beckham, and Zach Miller are noteworthy value plays on DraftKings in week 14.

Jay Cutler, David Johnson, DeVante Parker, Vance McDonald are noteworthy value plays who could either serve as the cornerstones of an optimal cash lineup and/or add upside variance to a GPP/tournament roster in week 13.

DeVante Parker is a speed-size phenomenon owning a 109.5 (87th-percentile) Height-adjusted Speed Score (HaSS) and a resume of production evidenced by his 46.3-percent College Dominator Rating at the University of Louisville.

Perhaps you have heard of these new one-week fantasy games over on DraftKings? They are incredible! Just pick new players every week, and get this, there is no season-long commitment!

If you give this DFS thing a try, play Jameis Winston, Doug Martin, Javorius Allen, and Vincent Jackson on DraftKings in week 12.

Pro tip: stack Buccaneers this week.

When looking at Willie Snead’s athletic profile and workout metrics, it’s easy to see how he went overlooked in both 2015 fantasy drafts and the 2014 NFL Draft.

Willie Snead’s week 10 lull provides fantasy gamers with an excellent acquisition opportunity.

Snead is making a strong case to be fantasy football’s WR waiver wire hero in 2015.

The failures of Bishop Sankey and Coby Fleener are shocking, and our first glance at their athletic profiles makes it appear nonsensical. However, top athletes at running back and tight end have not historically translated to impressive NFL success.

The cliché rings true: Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard. Athleticism isn’t a skeleton key. No matter how alluring a blistering 40 time may be, don’t become so blinded by metrics that you miss the big picture. A holistic evaluation will hopefully help you avoid the next Christine Michael.

Danny Amendola is not nearly as athletic as Julian Edelman, but playing the high volume Wes Welker slot role will nonetheless ensure that Amendola receives 10-plus targets per game moving forward.

Lamar Miller has been thrust into an all-purpose role just as Jay Ajayi re-entered the backfield and rekindled fears of a running back committee in Miami.

A wake up call on Nate Washington, the most underrated wide receiver in fantasy football.

Nate Washington has the volume and efficiency to be a high-end WR2 this year and no one is paying attention.
