NFL Offseason Winners and Losers: Offensive Line
The NFL offseason has finally slowed down as teams shift their focus to improving through the draft. From a fantasy perspective, one of the most important positions that receive very little attention is the offensive line group.

Best Ball Fades for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season
In fantasy football, the best teams are usually carried by 2-3 players vastly outperforming their average draft position. The same is true in best ball. I doubt those who drafted Cooper Kupp in the fourth round last year were far “better” drafters than average, yet teams with Cooper Kupp advanced at three times the average […]
