Winning at fantasy football is about having weekly consistency. The goal of your draft is to determine which players can be counted on for low variance weeks. A detailed study of Weekly Volatility by the RotoUnderworld Team shows why A.J. Green is a risk as your WR1.

A.J. Green is thought to be one of the more consistent wide receivers in football. That is a fallacy. Green is best deployed in best ball leagues that reward volatility.

A lot has changed over the past twenty years, and running backs are no exception. The bell cow back is a rare thing in today’s NFL, and if the trend continues, there will be a year very soon where no running back totes the rock over 300 times.

Who should be the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy football drafts in 2016? There have been plenty of debates over the last few months about this subject.

In the spirit of the upcoming United States presidential election, we’re going to take a look at the top candidates for this year’s No.1 selection in fantasy drafts. By the end of this debate, I’m hoping to convince you that the best choice is Odell Beckham based on his analytics, advanced stats & metrics player profile.

With Zero RB all the rage around the water cooler these days, it is crucial to identify the late round running back that can lead your fantasy football team to the promised land. It is rare to find a high ceiling, high floor player with Charles Sims’ profile in the middle rounds of a fantasy draft.

Charles Sims’ fantasy football advanced stats & metrics illuminate an ideal Zero RB target with standalone PPR value and league winning upside.

Now 37-years old, concerns have arisen about Drew Brees fantasy projections for 2016, particularly a belief that he only plays well in dome conditions.
