Auction Draft Cheat Sheet – Fantasy Football 2021
So much fantasy football advice is geared toward snake drafts and its ilk. Today though, I’m looking at auction, or salary cap, leagues and how I would approach them. Auctions can be so different depending on the room, so this is more about players to target and players I would not overpay for.  Quarterback I […]

The Double Dip: Fantasy baseball 2-start pitchers for the week
We’re back again for this week’s fantasy baseball Double Dip — highlighting pitchers making two starts in a week. Some of the plays may be obvious — you don’t need a 1,000-word soliloquy highlighting why it’s a good idea to start Jacob deGrom twice. You just do it.  But volume is key, especially two-start-pitcher volume. […]

3 Best Breakout Candidates at TE – Fantasy Football 2021
Every season, we’re told how deep the tight end position is, or can be, for fantasy football. But we haven’t really heard that this year. And I think it’s because all of this year’s top breakout candidates are, for the most part, the same as last year’s. It forces us to admit that they didn’t […]

Fantasy Football Sleepers for 2021
There may not be a hotter commodity during the fantasy football season than sleepers. The definition of a sleeper, however, varies from person to person. Simply put, the players you see buzzing in every fantasy football article, every Twitter post, and every show are not sleepers. The buzz defeats the purpose and inflates ADP. Sure, […]

How to approach the turn in fantasy football 2021
Fantasy football draft order value changes every year, but one thing does not ever change: People either love or hate drafting at the “turn” — the 1.12 position.  One the one hand, it’s nice because you get to double-dip. This lets you create stacks or ensure you get the player you really want, even if […]

Drafters best ball strategy – Stacks to target
Stacking is one of the first fantasy football concepts usually mentioned when discussing best ball, and for very good reason. Especially if you’re entering into large-field tournaments against thousands of other people, the aim is to capture weekly upside and the lion’s share of production from a top-flight offense. The same theory is deployed in […]
