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.
The 2022 Chiefs 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.
I will discuss the evolution of strategic levers in best ball tournaments, and outline the principles undergirding my 2022 draft plan. To be clear, this is not a guide in which I tell you what the best construction is, who the best players are, or any other definitive solution to unknowable question befitting a ‘Here’s How’ thread. I wish to discuss an inexhausutive variety of strategic levers you may wish to pull with different force than I will, and build a broader, humility-based strategy applicable to nearly every structure of team or player stance.
This article will cover running backs who look nice but in actuality are masquerading uninvited to the RB1 party. These are RB fool’s gold candidates. They are either declining in production, or they don’t come close to meeting the requirements of a running back who has exceeded expectations according to their current ADP.
The 2022 Panthers 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.
From 2016 to 2021, receivers from these ambiguous situations hit as top-24 WRs 53.8-percent of the time. To gain an even greater edge, let’s home in on some specific receivers who are best positioned to ascend from ambiguity in 2022.
The 2022 Vikings 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.
The tight end spot is one of the more polarizing and less predictable positions in fantasy football. Some fantasy players target elite TEs and make them the centerpiece of the draft plan. Others use the early or late rule- either taking a top-three tight end or waiting for whatever arbitrary number they choose to follow for their contingency plan (such as TE18 or below). Some punt the position and draft a late option.
