Identifying good players in fantasy football is only half the battle. In order to truly gain an edge against your opposition you need to understand how to find value.

Boring-But-Worth-It Draft Picks for 2022 Fantasy Football
When you make a pick in your fantasy football draft, what you want to hear is your leaguemates being angry, frustrated that you took the player they wanted. Also acceptable is the “ooooh” of being impressed, when they think you made a savvy call they didn’t think of. But no reaction is also a reaction. […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: The Top-Scoring Tall Guys
Height is a help in football … until it isn’t. There have only been three running backs listed at 6-foot-4 or taller to reach 1,000 career PPR points, none at 6-5 or more. There have been plenty of wide receivers at 6-5, but once you get to 6-6, the list falls off a cliff. Basically, […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Best Postseason Passer Rating, Active QBs
Passer rating is of course an imperfect measure, but it’s a decent shorthand. If you put up a high number, odds are you performed well; if you put up a low number, odds are you didn’t. When the stakes are highest, that’s just as true. So for today’s Quiz of the Day, let’s look […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Longest Active Streaks of at least 1 Passing TD
In theory, a quarterback passing for at least a single passing touchdown in a game isn’t that remarkable. Guys do it all the time. In practice … they fail to do so more often than you’d expect.

Plugging the Hole: How to Fix the Tight End Position in Dynasty
Tight end is quite possibly the most frustrating position in fantasy football.

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: The Best Fantasy Season in Each Team’s History
Obviously, the “best” season in a team’s history is subject to interpretation – context, position, team success, etc. But one way (decidedly not the only way, perhaps not the best way, but a way) to measure such a thing is simple fantasy points.

Anyone can score a long touchdown (well, not anyone-anyone, but you know what I mean).
