With that in mind, here are six […]

Fantasy Football Breakouts in 2021
Last week, I published a series on my favorite upside quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for 2021 fantasy football. And now I ask myself the question: What’s the real difference between a breakout player and an upside player? Here’s my answer: The term “breakout player” might have a different kind of SEO juice.

Red-zone rushing — The risers and fallers for 2021
Touchdowns are maybe the hardest stat to predict in fantasy football. Yearly we chase volume at each position, hoping that the workload for the players we love can outkick variance.
