Bust TE Candidates for 2022 Fantasy Football
After taking an early look at some potential 2022 sleepers at the tight end position, we now shift our attention to some bust candidates.

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Every Game of 250+ Receiving Yards
Wednesday’s quiz, on every game with 250 or more rushing yards in NFL history, featured only 14 entries, and most of them (though not all) were stars and fairly famous. Today’s, on every game with 250 or more receiving yards in NFL history, features 25 entries, and it’s only that short because I limited this […]

As the NFL Draft draws near, rookie fever is starting to set in for fantasy football managers, and the dynasty community has begun to sink its teeth into the 2022 class.

Bust WR Candidates for 2022 Fantasy Football
Outside of QBs, wideouts are usually the most predictable in fantasy football from year-to-year. Volume drives everything, and targets are fairly predictable and stable. All the other fantasy-relevant stats follow suit. That’s why it hurts double when a WR flops. (I still have nightmares from drafting Allen Robinson in Round 3 last year.) Let’s take […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Every Season with 40+ Passing Touchdowns
After a tough run of quizzes lately, today we’re tossing up a relative softball: Can you name every quarterback who has a season with 40-plus passing touchdowns? There have been 18 such seasons in NFL history, but only 10 quarterbacks have done it, and there are no real interlopers on the list, so this shouldn’t […]

The Biggest Pre-/Post-Bye Changes in Fantasy Football 2021
Whenever you hear about a team making significant halftime adjustments, you get a former player tut-tutting about how there really isn’t that much time, and really it’s just about taping you up and getting back out there, and any real adjustments are minor. In a sense, adjustments over an NFL team’s bye week are the […]

Fantasy Football’s One-Game Wonders of 2021
In fantasy football, your end-of-season total is your end-of-season total. If one player puts up 16 points per game over 17 games and another puts up 34 per game but only plays in eight games, well, they had the same total for the season. (Shout out the Tweet Of Great Debate.) But we don’t play […]
