Hunter Henry is entering the 2022 fantasy football season with an average draft projection of 130.4. Henry has scored at least 145 fantasy points in his last three seasons. He showed exceptional chemistry with rookie quarterback Mac Jones last season, especially in the redzone. There’s no denying that Henry is being slept on being drafted next to the likes of Cole Kmet and Irv Smith. Personally, I’ve loved seeing Henry falling to the end of mock drafts in the offseason because he’s ended up on several of my rosters. But at the end of the day, I just can’t fathom…

The Denver Broncos are entering a new era of football with the signing of Russell Wilson at the quarterback position. Many fantasy owners are bullish on their offense for good reasoning. Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton have been stealing all the offseason hype at the receiver position. I like both of those receiving options for Wilson, I think they have reasonable average draft projections as well. With all that being said, there is one receiver on the Broncos who I think we need to take a closer look at. Overall, Tim Patrick is being slept on in terms of production…

In case you have been sleeping under a rock for the past 24 hours, the NFL got some major news with quarterback Baker Mayfield being traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Carolina Panthers for a 5th round draft selection in 2024. This sent a shockwave through the fantasy football community yesterday. How much will Mayfield really effect the fantasy football world? Only time can tell. While some would argue there’s a lot to breakdown here, I think the fantasy outlook for the Panthers offensive unit stays about the same. Regardless there’s certainly an argument to be made in either…

Whether you’re looking for late round value that could potentially pay off, or you’re looking to secure a fantasy roster with one or two injury prone running backs, the handcuff role can make a big difference for fantasy rosters. While you can panic on the waiver wires during the regular season, a better plan is to target a handcuff or two during your fantasy draft. The best part is generally speaking handcuff running backs are easily attainable in fantasy drafts. While there are plenty of great running back committees this year, such as the Cowboys, Packers, or Broncos, a true…

Taking a late round quarterback in fantasy football can seem like a genius idea or just a giant risk. You can land a consistent quarterback in late rounds of fantasy drafts without a doubt. While this doesn’t give you a massive edge at the position it can allow for upside at other roster spots. Today we’ll look at one of the most criminally under rated quarterbacks in fantasy football. Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings has finished as quarterback 11 the last two fantasy seasons. Year after year his name gets forgotten about and I believe he could be a…

The tight end position can be frustrating to evaluate as the fantasy season begins to approach us. If you don’t spend an early draft selection on Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews, you may feel out of luck. Luckily heading into the 2022 season there are plenty of later round options that present high value and upside. Let’s look at one of my favorite players at the position at this point in the offseason, Dawson Knox of the Buffalo Bills. How did Knox perform last season? Knox had a fantastic season in one the best offenses in the league. He showed…

As the 2022 fantasy season approaches, beginning to evaluate the later rounds of fantasy drafts is more important than ever. It’s no mystery that the wide receiver position offers a ton of value throughout the draft. The overall depth at the position often makes it easy to overlook players who will be in store for a plethora of targets and red zone opportunities. With most fantasy leagues looking for players with value in PPR scoring formats, later round wide receivers are more valuable than ever. In today’s article we’ll break down two underrated wide receivers heading into the 2022 fantasy season.…

Why are Fantasy Managers Sleeping on James Conner? Heading into the 2022 fantasy football season one of the most overlooked names at the running back position is James Conner. Conner who finished on average as running back 5 in both PPR and standard scoring formats is currently coming in at an average draft projection of 35. This projection makes Conner an absolute steal in mock drafts at this point in the offseason. Conner should be considered a top 10 running back heading into next season, and his fantasy value at his current average draft projection is through the roof. Let’s…

Wide receiver Russell Gage signed a three-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers worth $30 million this offseason. Gage came into fantasy relevance last season during the second half of the year, being the primary receiver for the Atlanta Falcons. Gage filled in nicely for wide receiver Calvin Ridley, and alongside rookie tight end Kyle Pitts. He offered a huge boost at the flex position as well as a boost for any fantasy managers in need of a wide receiver at the end of the fantasy season.  Tom Brady has already praised Gage in the offseason.  All signs point to…

The Dallas Cowboys held one of the most anticipated offensive units going into the 2021 fantasy football season. Fantasy managers had no qualms with quarterback Dak Prescott coming off of a major injury, were intrigued by wide receiver CeeDee Lamb’s potential sophomore leap, and were impressed with running back Ezekiel Elliott’s offseason shape. All of that anticipation was met with HBO’s series Hard Knocks following the Cowboys through the month of August, which helped their offensive starters sky rocket even more in draft value. By the end of the 2021 fantasy football season they would have an offensive starter finish…
