Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Most Running Back Targets in a Season Since 2000
Thursday’s Quiz of the Day looked at the single-season target leaders around the league since 2000. Unsurprisingly, it was a WR-only list, as they are obviously the ones who dominate targets. But the recent generations of football have seen an explosion in targets for running backs as well, so let’s look at them next. Today’s […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Most Targets in a Season Since 2000
You can’t produce fantasy points if you don’t have opportunities. For running backs, that’s carries and targets, but at receiver, it’s basically targets only, unless your name is Deebo Samuel. Since the turn of the century, there have been 19 seasons where a player has gotten at least 180 targets in a season, peaking with […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Which Teams Have Employed Josh Johnson or Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Some NFL players bounce around. After a decade with the Vikings, Adrian Peterson played for six teams in five seasons from 2017 to 2021. Tyrod Taylor signed with the Giants this offseason, his sixth NFL team. Chase Daniel has played for seven. But perhaps the two most-traveled players going right now are Josh Johnson and […]

Sleepers, Busts & Bets: 2022 Fantasy Football Team-By-Team
It’s summer. The NFL Draft is behind us, and so is (most of) free agency. There are still plenty of roster moves to come, to be sure, but at this point we have a pretty good idea of who will be on what rosters come Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, and that means […]

Offensive Line: Biggest Holes, Best Remaining Free Agents

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: The League Leaders in Interceptions, 2012-2021
Throwing a lot of interceptions doesn’t inherently mean a quarterback has been a disaster. Certainly, you’d rather not throw picks, but in and of itself an interception is not a death knell. Case in point: A certain quarterback who changed teams just last offseason tied for the league lead in interceptions in 2021 en route […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Deep Stashes
We’re at the point of the NFL offseason when things are eerily quiet. The draft and free agency are in the rearview mirror, and rookie mini camps and OTAs don’t typically generate much buzz. It’s unlikely the NFL landscape changes drastically over the coming weeks, but that doesn’t mean May should be considered a dead […]

Worst Offseason Moves for Fantasy Football in 2022
The 2022 NFL offseason has been unlike any we’ve had in recent years. The QB movement alone was arguably the most insane we’ve ever seen — and certainly within the last decade. But not all of it was good. And now that we’ve made it through free agency and the draft, it’s time to […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: The Most Fantasy-Relevant Rosters in 2021
Last year, only three members of the Houston Texans – Davis Mills, Brandin Cooks and Rex Burkhead – reached 100 PPR points on the season. Not coincidentally, the Texans were possibly the least fantasy-relevant team in the NFL in 2021. In other words, it’s not a perfect proxy, but you could argue that the more […]

Worst Fantasy Football Landing Spots in the NFL Draft
At the end of the day, talent should almost always trump landing spot in dynasty fantasy football. But that doesn’t mean landing spots should be viewed as a complete afterthought.
