2021 NFL Fantasy Football Targets
Last week in this space, I gave you my fade list for 2021 high-stakes fantasy football. Identifying the players to steer clear of in drafts is important, but just as important is knowing who to target.

The NFL preseason has come to an end, and no matter what you think of the exercise, it was amazing to have it, especially after it was missing from our lives this time last year.

How to draft in ESPN leagues using FTN fantasy football rankings
One of the challenges of fantasy football today is that information is everywhere and even your average league mate probably isn’t that bad on draft day. But this is where you can use a hack to gain an advantage. If many of your leaguemates are going to use the generic built-in ADP data to form […]

Using Underdog ADP Discrepancies in the Big Dog Tournament – RB
Whenever we have access to “high-stakes” fantasy football data, it’s an interesting exercise to go through and see how drafts are going. Underdog has its ADP split by Big Dog contests (which is their $250 buy-in tourney) and “regular” contests (which is every other 12-team league on the site). It’s a dangerous thing to say […]

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

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.

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 […]
