3 Best Breakout Candidates at TE – Fantasy Football 2021
Every season, we’re told how deep the tight end position is, or can be, for fantasy football. But we haven’t really heard that this year. And I think it’s because all of this year’s top breakout candidates are, for the most part, the same as last year’s. It forces us to admit that they didn’t […]

Fantasy Football Sleepers for 2021
There may not be a hotter commodity during the fantasy football season than sleepers. The definition of a sleeper, however, varies from person to person. Simply put, the players you see buzzing in every fantasy football article, every Twitter post, and every show are not sleepers. The buzz defeats the purpose and inflates ADP. Sure, […]

6 players to draft outside the top 100 in fantasy football
Recently, FTN content czar Josh Collacchi asked me to write a piece highlighting six players to select in fantasy football drafts outside of the top 100. This is that piece. Naturally, I have some questions. First of all, why six? Is that a magic SEO number? Why not five? Or 10? Secondly, what’s the difference […]

How to approach the turn in fantasy football 2021
Fantasy football draft order value changes every year, but one thing does not ever change: People either love or hate drafting at the “turn” — the 1.12 position.  One the one hand, it’s nice because you get to double-dip. This lets you create stacks or ensure you get the player you really want, even if […]

Fantasy football strategy – What does a zero-RB draft look like?

Red-zone receiving — The TE risers and fallers for 2021
Touchdowns are among the hardest stats to predict in fantasy football. Yearly we chase volume at each position, hoping that the workload for the players we love can outkick variance. Sadly, this isn’t the case, and when we also factor in injuries and personnel changes, the equation can quickly go sideways. As we stand at […]

Fantasy Football Sleepers – 5 players you didn’t know you need in 2021

RB landmines to avoid in fantasy football 2021
The bell cow back is one of fantasy football’s great cheat codes, so much so that fantasy players year after year chase backs, pushing timeshare backs up the board in hopes they can catch lightning in a bottle.

WR handcuffs who could win your fantasy football league in 2021
Late last week, I highlighted seven total running backs in fantasy football who have league-winning upside if the running back ahead of them on the depth chart goes down (handcuffs). While the approach of handcuffing is most popular with running backs, there’s a way to go about it similarly with the wide receiver position. (Take […]

When to draft in fantasy football: Tight ends
We’re wrapping up the When to Draft with tight ends. Typically, people view tight ends as “pick the elite guys or punt.” There’s plenty of evidence to support going after elite tight ends.
