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. In practice, only 30 quarterbacks entered the offseason on streaks of even two games with at least one […]

Plugging the Hole: How to Fix the Tight End Position in Dynasty
Tight end is quite possibly the most frustrating position in fantasy football. You can use one hand to count the number of reliable players at the position, and if you don’t have one of these guys you’re desperately trying to find one. That goes doubly true in dynasty, where managers are reluctant to ever part […]

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. Who had the most PPR points in a season in each team’s […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Longest Active Streaks of 1 Rush, 1 Reception
Getting a single carry and a single reception in a game isn’t a sign of a dominant fantasy player, obviously, but it is a sign of a player who at least has a role in the offense. Doing it over and over and over just solidifies that. There were 12 players who entered the offseason […]

Beware the Cliff: 2022 Fantasy Football
With the dynasty offseason in full swing, many managers are making trades to remold their rosters. Upon doing this, they have to decide who are the players to move on from and the ones to acquire. The best managers have the ability to predict the production drop known as “The Cliff”, before it happens. […]

Fantasy Quiz of the Day: Longest Average Touchdown Length of 2021
Anyone can score a long touchdown (well, not anyone-anyone, but you know what I mean). One break in coverage and suddenly a 5-yard play become an 80-yard catch-and-score and makes that week’s highlight reel. But the players who can go for big yardage over and over are the ones who break the game. Last year, […]

Be A Year Early: Dynasty Options to Sell Before the Decline Phase
“You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain” — a statement that relates to fantasy football more than you would think. In dynasty fantasy football, as in real football, keeping a player one year too long can be what ends a run of excellence. It’s hard to know when […]

Fantasy Crossroads: The Biggest Draft-Day Conundrums of 2022
The majority of fantasy football advice looks at the macro: Is a player a good investment, a mediocre investment, a bad investment? Does a running back belong in the early rounds, the late rounds, or not at all? It’s obviously the most important part of this whole thing, figuring out who fits in what general […]

NFL Schedule Release: The Worst Bye Weeks of 2022

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: 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 […]

Worst Offseason Moves for Fantasy Football in 2022
