Streaming a DST in Fantasy Without Knowing Anything About Football

The unspoken corollary, then, is that you might not be able to lose […]

Every year, a few hundred new players enter the NFL, either through the draft or as a free agent afterward. And understandably, the new crop of players get the big attention from NFL and fantasy football fans alike.

It’s true that rookies are the shiny new toy in fantasy football, the piece that can be just about anything. But even though we’ve watched last year’s rookies for (in many cases) a year now, that doesn’t mean we have seen all they are or will ever be. That’s where the Second-Year Scouting Reports come […]

The majority of fantasy football advice looks at the macro: Is a player a good investment, a mediocre investment, a bad investment? Does a running back belong in the early rounds, the late rounds, or not at all? It’s obviously the most important part of this whole thing, figuring out who fits in what general […]
