Fantasy Football Draft Strategy: 2022’s ‘Golden Zone’ for WRs
The ADP range of Rounds 4 and 5 (37-60 overall) is typically a bevy of fantasy goodness when it comes to wide receivers. It’s the area I like to call The Golden Zone. It’s essentially the range where one was be able to draft last season’s overall WR1 (Cooper Kupp) and the previous season’s overall […]

Fantasy Football 2022: Bold Predictions for Every Tier
Not all fantasy football bold predictions are made equal. It would be a little bold to predict that, say, Najee Harris will be the top-scoring fantasy player in 2022. It would be a lot bold to say Benny Snell will. You have to decide how bold you want to be.   So I offer bold […]

The Biggest Gaps Between Real-Life and Fantasy Football Value
Is this the real life?

Fantasy Football Secondhand Sleepers for 2022: RB
Receivers are the easier secondhand sleeper bets in fantasy football. They need accurate passes to make their catches, produce their yards, and score their touchdowns. But running backs rely on their quarterback efficiency in subtler ways. Better passers create more opportunities for carries with more first-down conversions and more leads that incentivize second-half carries to […]

Fantasy Football Secondhand Sleepers for 2022: WR/TE
In camps and in the preseason, everyone in fantasy football is excited by the new.
