Underrated: I Bet You’ve Got A Lot Of Nice Ties, Ty

Green Bay Packers starting running back Ty Montgomery, a converted slot-receiver selected in the 3rd round of the 2015 NFL Draft, certainly doesn’t have the body-type, resume, and hype of a NFL workhorse running back. However, Montgomery's rare blend of elite rushing vision and smooth receiving abilities make him the perfect running back in Green Bay's offense, a scheme centered around short, high-percentage passes that serve as a proxy running game. Montgomery punctuated his breakout campaign with 121 combined touches for 805 yards and 3 touchdowns after he took the reigns as the starting running back for injured Eddie Lacy in Week 6 of 2016.

2017 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide Receivers (Standard, Half-PPR, PPR)

2017 Rankings: Top 200 (Standard, Half-PPR, PPR) | QB | RB (Standard, Half-PPR, PPR) | WR (Standard, Half-PPR, PPR) | TE (Standard, Half-PPR, PPR) | K | DST

IDP Rankings: Top 100 | DL | LB | DB

Dynasty Rankings: Top 200 | QB | RB | WR | TE | Top-50 Rookies

2016 Accuracy	Rank	QB	RB	WR	TE	K	DST
Weekly Rankings	9	31	5	27	40	9	4
Draft Rankings	3	66	10	7	23	66	112

Even though I'm not one to pat myself on the back (actually, I am), Razzball has been on an upward curve, bringing some sort of conglomerate synergistic metamorphosis (as they say in the corporate world), providing you an ever-improving ranking accuracy year after year. How do we do it? No clue. It could be dark wizardry. It could be indigestion. It could even be your mother. But I have to admit, this year is going to be daunting, if only because the expectations we've placed on ourselves here at Razzball Football are at an all time high (just like my college years). Going from 31st overall to 22nd in Weekly Fantasy Football accuracy is one thing. But going from 22nd to the top-10 in the entire nation last season is quite another. And then on top of that, to finish third overall in our Draft Rankings last year... well, it'd be folly to try and say "Yes, we're going to try even more, (more better if you believe in remedial English)", but yeah, I'm going to say it... We're going to do more better. (My English teacher just placed a bounty on me.) With that said, and my parentheses key broken, here are your 2017 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver (Standard, Half-PPR, and PPR) Rankings...

RazzBlitz Podcast: Ladies and Gettleman, Clear Out Your Desk

Welcome back! The NFL had a hell of a day on Monday... Zach and I are here to give you our thoughts on Ezekiel Elliott, as well as the Dave Gettleman firing. That's not all, we talk about Kirk Cousins, David Johnson vs. Le'Veon Bell, along with Mike Glennon's fantasy potential. Also, I found out that Zach plays basketball with old dudes and we argue about Christian McCaffery again.

Overrated: Don’t Digg Yourself Into a Hole

Wide receiver is a tough position to draft outside of the top 15. Within the next 35 players of the preseason top 50, there are 10 guys who are going to outplay their ADP, maybe by a lot. There are also 10 other receivers getting hype, who just don’t live up to it, whether they are a complete bust or just somebody who frustrates you to put into your lineup every week. I’ve been there, I drafted Kelvin Benjamin and Sammy Watkins on the same team last season. This league is a two-keeper league and my keepers were ho-hum going into the draft, and I knew that I had to make a splash. Doug Martin and Brandin Cooks were career hit or miss guys so I went high upside with my first couple of picks...

Overrated: The Christian Right

Hello everyone, and welcome to the start of my player analysis series (you can find MB's first post here) where I take a look at a crap-ton of NFL players and sort them into three categories: Underrated, Overrated, and Sleepers. So let's get started talking about a rookie player who I believe has the greatest chance of anyone this year to become a player that started with all hype, but might have little production on the field during his rookie campaign. I am of course talking about Christian McCaffrey. Let's get right to it!

Underrated: Why the Hill Not?

Our word of the day is gambling. I love gambling, most of the time in small amounts unless I’m at the black jack table at 3 A.M. after my second trip to the ATM, but that’s a story for another time. Plus, I was much younger then (if you consider two years ago a long increment of time). When not gambling after consuming a bunch of whiskey, it’s usually a few bucks here and there on March Madness, NBA playoffs, or the reason why you’re reading this, the NFL. When I’m making money gambling on sports, 75 percent of the time it’s because I’m betting against the public. Fantasy football isn’t much different...

2017 Fantasy Football NFC South Preview

After two straight Superbowl appearances, the NFC South is coming up faster than that lady from The Leftovers and this past season of Fargo. Yes, I know her name is Carrie Coon, I didn’t have to google it, and she’s become my favorite actress. Some of you already know that I think that the Leftovers is the best show ever made, but I’m also impressed that Fargo was able to pull off another good season for the third straight year. Fargo has a built-in setting, but coming up with a different cast, story line, and ending every year and doing it well blows my mind. To put it in perspective it only took a second season for True Detective to suck at the same format. Well, I guess it didn’t “suck”, the acting was awesome. I’m one of the few who bought into Vince Vaughn in his role. The story was a snoozer, I can’t defend that part. Before we get into our second division preview, be sure to check out Zach’s preview of the AFC East. Zach will be covering the AFC while I cover the NFC. Also, we must rejoice that Jay has returned to give you his rankings and predictions for the 2017 season. Zach and I are going to try and record a podcast every week to get you ready for the football season. We plan on having a few surprise guests, but most of it will just be us two talking shop.

Hello everyone, and welcome to Razzball's Fantasy Football 2017 Division Previews. On this piece, we'll take a look at this year's AFC East. In past offseasons, we've seen many versions of the same headline: "Watch Out Patriots, Dolphins/Bills/Jets Are The New Team To Beat". And while we haven't seen that storyline yet, this is a division that moved in the right direction as a whole. It's good to see that just for football in general. There are a lot of fantasy storylines and scenarios to dive into, so let's get right to it...
