We're steaming ahead toward the end of draft season, so for the most part it feels like the dye has been cast on how players are being perceived. And there are always some where you wonder why you're on an island in your eval - and some islands are bigger than others. Doesn't mean that you're...

I think we’re at a bit of an inflection point at the position. Run game production is still critically important for team success, but front offices have found a way to game the system to get that production incredibly cheap. Exactly what they should be doing. The only thing I could potentially...

If you look at Melvin Gordon's situation...he turned down a $10M/year contract.  In holding out...we've seen Austin Eckler emerge as a fine every down replacement.  Originally, the thought was that Eckler would share RB duties in somewhat of a timeshare with Justin Jackson.  But Eckler is on...

Once upon a time...someone invented Fantasy Football.  And when they invented it, they had to figure out how players accrued value.  And so they came up with a scoring system.  And for the most part, scoring systems in FFC haven’t changed since save for maybe using fractional scoring.  But...

The Esquire American Boy Article... So - article in the February edition.  February is Black History Month.  Seems like this has quite a few folk up in arms.   This comes on the heels of a colleague showing me a t-shirt ‘White, Male, Straight, Republican - How else can I piss you off today?’...

When we talk QB’s, particularly ones who started their careers in the 21st century, the notion of comparing them to their 20th century counterparts from a production standpoint is almost fruitless.  The game has changes so much in the last 20-25 years, that the idea of saying ‘Ben Roethlisberger...

I know there is a lot of negative perception around him with regard to his persona and how he left/retired from the Giants to pursue a media career.  Obviously his criticism of Eli Manning to start of his media career blew up in his face when Eli and the Giants went on to win the SB the year...

This could be a third rail topic that could be placed here, FFA or the politics forum.  So if it needs to be moved, no worries. But the last week has been a pretty interesting time in terms of NFL economy developments: - Two of the leagues premier players withheld services and got market...

Since the average demographic in this place seems to be middle aged men...last night fell victim to my first one of these. Whoo boy...not fun.  Felt like being kicked in the nuts but all the time.  And because your lower back feels left out, it was like ‘hold my beer’. So for those who’ve had...

And if so, how much? Davonte Adams and Devonta Freeman are two recent examples of players with high upside, but also having suffered two concussions in 2017.

In an effort to find the severely undervalued player, I present to you Greg Jennings. Let's just get straight to the point. Matt Cassel started 6 games for the Vikings last year during Christian Ponder's crash and burn. In another game against Bears, Cassel came in at halftime led the Vikes...

I almost feel as if the 2012 season still gets held against him when he wound up breaking both collarbones. But all Mathews has done during his last 3 seasons in the NFL, which included the aforementioned 2012 season is put up an average of 94 YFS/game with 14 TD's. I get that his TD...

:shrug: <sniff> ************************** Joe Edit: Just to let folks know - the Footballguys Player Spotlights are on as normal this year. Just like last year. We'll be posting "official" threads in the Shark Pool for players and asking for your comments. Look for something soon on...

Anyone fielding/making offers on him? Has anyone traded him? If so, what have you gotten in return? Obviously, track record is real short, but his numbers are starting to look quite legit even if from an eye test POV, he doesn't jump out at you... Anyway, would be good to know how market is...

Seems awfully tardy. What's that background here?

...which part of their defense do you feel is more significantly compromised? Run Defense or Pass defense? I'd love to hear reasoning if possible as to why you think so rather than 2 word responses.

No doubt, they got the juicy match-up in Week 1 against a ridiculously overmatched JAX offense. However, this is not a team devoid of talent on that side of the ball. Houston, Hali, Berry, Flowers, Sean Smith, Poe, Johnson would appear on paper to be an extremely solid contingent of defenisve...

Just pondering this question. 1 million? 10 million? 20 million? When you take into account people who play multiple leagues, different types of fantasy football contests (like the subscriber one here - that would count in my book). I've got to think that someone/some firm has calcuated...

And when I say worrisome, I don't necessarily mean for Cam per se, because he can make up passing production on the ground. That said, he may simply be out of the prolific Tier 1 QB's at this output. This is an offense that from a first look, and admittedly from a distance, has drastically...

Every year, patterns/players emerge or regress in terms of their ADP value or general perception(s). With draft season now over and our rosters for the most part loaded, the last two months had some interesting developments that you could term...unexpected. Adrian Peterson - I expected once TC...
