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. The running back position is an oft-injured position that has teams splitting times between as many as […]

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 […]
