If you're not in the RazzBowl, then you'll still get a lot of value out of this article, like how to draft to win against a large and competitive field of fantasy football heroes, or how to quickly make yourself a fantasy zero.

Great Scott!

July 23, 2020 | Fantasy Football Strategy, Fantasy Football Targets |

by: Son

Since the Rona entered my life, I've had to entertain some thought-provoking questions: If I click one more dollar on a random eBay item, will I get stuck with it? More importantly, what's the over/under on the anger level of my wife if I get stuck with said random eBay item? Yes, I like to live on the edge. But when I saw the DeLorean up for bid, fear was no mas, as it was eradicated by the trance-like mental state I entered. Ooohhhmmmm. Ooohhhhmmmmmm. Then I was falling, falling, falling from the sky. Remember that dream while asleep in class? And the subsequent stomping of the feet before the hysterical laughs from classmates? Yeah. So I heard the Vrooom Vrooom outside and saw my future self delivering my precious DeLorean. What a glorious day indeed. The first order of business was to thank future Son. Or was it past Son? Maybe it was both? Regardless, thanks Son. Second thing on the itinerary was to punch in DEC 29 2019 and watch Boston Scott score 3 touchdowns against the New York Giants. Why? Because after doing due diligence on him, Great Scott! was the only expression that could be heard echoing through the hallways of Son Manor. Well, only after the "You idiot!"

Five Guys Who Will EAT in 2020

July 22, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football | 2 Comments

by: Aaron Pags

Five Guys Burgers and Fries and is an American fast-food chain serving...well...hamburgers and fries. They were founded in Virginia by former 1982 NFL MVP (albeit strike-shortened), Mark Moseley, a placekicker for the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Oilers, Washington NFL Franchise, and Cleveland Browns. Moseley is one of just three non-offensive players in league history to capture the NFL's Most Valuable Player award. He was one of those straight-on kickers you see in the old films, the last since Dirk Borgognone in 1995 to defy the instep kicking movement.

Mark Moseley earned his MVP by converting 20 of 21 attempts in the '82 season, a seasonal accuracy record, however, it wasn't all roses for Moseley. He bounced around the league in his first two seasons, eventually heading back to Texas to install septic systems while practicing his kicking trade with his wife. He worked hard, returned to the league, won that MVP, and is still the Washington NFL franchise leader in points. Not to mention, he nailed it with the burger joint after his career ended. I mean, buckets of peanuts while you wait is just as American vintage as that straight kick.

Top 60 Wide Receivers for 2020 Fantasy Football

July 22, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings |

As I scrolled thru my Twitter feed Sunday night I noticed a trending hashtag (#WeWantToPlay) led by a host NFL players. Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, J.J. Watt and dozens of other big names took to social media voicing their concerns about the NFL's "unacceptable" COVID guidelines. Now I'm all for player safety, and I'm not one to side with the billionaire elites, but I've also seen reports of NFL players ignoring the NFLPA's social distancing guidelines for months now. Russell Wilson and D.K. Metcalf—two of the many stars who tweeted Sunday—posted a workout video together just three weeks ago. Brady, LJax and Cam have all been seen gathering with teammates recently as well. And then there's guys like Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott hosting a pandemic party back in April. This all reminds me of when I used to go to McDonald's to eat my daily four Big Mac, six large fry lunch. Then I'd have my Jenny Craig beet and kale salad for dinner. On the verge of my fourth heart attack, I took to social media complaining that Jenny Craig didn't protect me. Why don't you care about my poor heart Jenny, WHYYYY!? Anyway, I'm sure there's players out there actually following the social distancing guidelines, and they're the real losers here. Them and us middle aged 600 pound men cursing Jenny Craig from our mother's basement while praying for a 2020 football season. But forward we march under the assumption of a pandemic football season; the 2020 fantasy football rankings show must go on! Last week I gave you my top 40 wide receivers for 2020 fantasy football (which I've since tweaked), now on to the top 60 wide receivers for 2020 PPR fantasy football:

Fantasy Football Podcast: Roster Construction With Mike Beers

July 21, 2020 | Fantasy Football Podcast |

by: B_Don

Mike Beers, reigning RazzBowl champion, Co-Owner, VP NFL Data & Analytics at RotoViz, visits with B_Don and Donkey Teeth to talk about his recent roster construction findings. The Razzball guys ask Mike to explain how his approach works and how it might differ depending on format.

We move on to examine how his approach drafted two very different teams in his RB heavy 2019 winning RazzBowl squad to his 0 RB 2020 Scott Fish Bowl X team. B_Don asks Mike to help him figure out the early weeks with 0 RB strategy.

Then, the guys ask Mike about some of his players that were on both rosters in Kyler Murray and Kenny Golladay. We move on to a couple of his other receivers in Michael Gallup and JuJu. Finally, we ask if he plans on actually using his FAAB this year or if he'll just beat us all via the draft again.

Is Tyler Johnson Tom Brady’s New Edelman? Not So Fast!

July 21, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football | 3 Comments

by: JB Barry

The Twitterverse is going crazy already anointing Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie WR Tyler Johnson as the next Julian Edelman. “Tyler Johnson plays the slot. Julian Edelman played the slot. Tom Brady loved Julian Edelman, Tom Brady is going to love Tyler Johnson!” I know you’ve seen it; it reminds me of the old High School math logic proofs. But in this case, “if P than Q” does not mean it is true in THIS truth table! Pump the brakes a little bit people!

IDP Bargain Hunting

July 20, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Targets, IDP Report | 2 Comments

by: GasDoc

Zigging when you’re supposed to zag. More than one way to skin a cat. I have to say that admitting there is another way to do something is tough. I have preached that you should take defensive linemen first in your IDP draft because it’s a shallow position and that the more productive linebackers are plentiful. As we begin getting clarification on some ADP trends for IDP leagues, (and it’s not so easy to find because there are too many who don’t play yet), some potential bargains are emerging. These bargains may allow you to draft those reliable point producing linebackers first and go against my commandment.

Razzball Football Podcast: Bearing Down With Andy Behrens

July 20, 2020 | Fantasy Football Podcast |

by: B_Don

Andy Behrens of Yahoo joins B_Don and Donkey Teeth on the most recent episode. We ask Andy about some of the NFL news, the Washington football team changing their name, Devonta Freeman's agent is out, and the Raheem Mostert trade demand.

We then move on to Andy's #SFBX (Scott Fish Bowl 10) team. Andy is a drafting legend after this one, bringing in a 0.0 draft time for 22 rounds. We ask him about his RB duo of Josh Jacobs and D'Andre Swift, along with his QBs in Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady, and Phillip Rivers.

The guys continue the industry league talk with some #RazzBowl 2 talk. Andy talks about his misses in the inaugural season, and how he will approach it differently this year. We ask him about his FAAB strategy and how he plans to handle COVID/byes/injuries in the year that is 2020. We wrap up by asking Andy whether he has a Howie Kendrick in football.

I have spend the spring and summer months pondering how we got here and worrying about where we go from here. But in between the worrying about the state of the world and the people that inhabit it I've been writing a lot of fantasy football profiles! I can't just have a bunch of fantasy football profiles and never put out any rankings.

Why a G.O.A.T Might Buc DraftKings Sportsbook Super Bowl Odds

by: Sam Shefrin

Living in a world virtually devoid of all team sports has been excruciating for most of us. If you're like the majority of ardent sports' fans, you're looking forward to the upcoming NFL season with an excitement level akin to a four-year-old Christmas Eve. Football bettors will be salivating as well, as without regular ballgames on the schedule, the betting options have virtually dried up. Heading into every new season, there is a lot of anticipation for who has the best shot at winning the upcoming Super Bowl.

David Montgomery Outlook for 2020 Fantasy Football

July 18, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Strategy | 8 Comments

How many Bears fans do we have here at Razzball? Judging by our SFBX drafts, we're really more of a Washington "Thorough Reviews" stan site. Did you see that awesome article by Pags about Kelvin Harmon that ran for 8 hours before the world found out that the 6th rounder from Monrovia tore his ACL? I sent Pags my tax return and I'm hoping he'll make it disappear just as easily. But if you've been watching the Fantasy Football Malpractice show, you'll see that Razzball has more than a few Bears fans hibernating in the woods while the NFL team stumbles into mediocrity. As a Vikings fan myself, you can trust me to bite hard on the Bears--rawr!--when I'm reviewing them for fantasy purposes. So, let's take a look at one of the most divisive running backs in the 2020 draft, David Montgomery.

Top 40 Wide Receivers for 2020 Fantasy Football

I'm sure by now you've been clued in on the biggest news of an otherwise uneventful year: the Washington Redskins will no longer be called the "Redskins". I've seen a lot of new potential nicknames being thrown around in recent days. The two leading candidates are the Washington Foreskins or the Washington Loaded Potato Skins. I read an interesting article about a guy who's trademarked a few names recently with hopes of selling those rights to the Washington football franchise. One second, I'll be right back. Sorry about that, had to get my Washington Foreskins trademark locked up. Anyway, I went over Foreskins' young wide out Terry McLaurin in my top 20 wide receiver rankings last time. Now we're on to the top 40 wide receivers to 2020 PPR fantasy football:
