2023 NFL Draft Wish List: AFC West
The AFC West continues to run through Kansas City and a Chiefs team that is still celebrating last year’s Super Bowl title. It seemed like last year could be the year the Chargers, Broncos and Raiders really challenged the Chiefs, but that didn’t come to fruition. If those teams are going to have any chance […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (TE)
Tight ends are more difficult to project by their college efficiencies and combine measurements than either running backs or wide receivers. Most tight end prospects are similarly massive in order to handle the blocking requirements of the position. And none of the combine drills cleanly tips how often a tight end will block or run […]

Over the Hill: Beware the Over-30 Fantasy Football Option
The Ravens revived the buzz of free agent season this week by signing Odell Beckham, probably the top remaining free agent receiver remaining. That’s the exciting part. The less exciting part? Odell Beckham hasn’t played in a year, is coming off his second torn ACL, and when he was “flashing” in his last season active, […]

2023 NFL Draft Wish List: AFC South
Seemingly everyone got the AFC South wrong last season.

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (WR)
A decade ago, you could count on the NFL Draft to put wide receiver prospects in order of their likely long-term fantasy potentials.

Fantasy Football’s One-Game Wonders of 2022
Every game counts, and basically every game counts the same. At the end of the fantasy football season, your fantasy point total is real. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t also kind of a mirage.

The NFL Draft does a decent job of sorting prospects by their fantasy potentials. But it is hardly a perfect proxy.
