I Forsee That Olabisi Will Be A Fantasy Reality

August 18, 2020 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 2 Comments

Living in the fantasy world is fun. It is a place where we can fly by swimming, have our cake and eat it, and score touchdowns without being a crash dummy. But it is not all good because sometimes we become so absorbed in that realm that we lose sight of what is right in front of us. Digging into the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver situation, I've uncovered such a situation. Justin Jefferson, the first round pick, is being drafted as the 134th overall player and 52nd wide receiver in NFFC drafts from 7/1 to 8/16. Olabisi Johnson, though, is the 169th wide receiver and 564th overall player being selected. Reality is definitely skewed. Here's why.

2020 Shadow Coverage Report: Detroit Lions

by: Bobby LaMarco

When doing the analysis on Golladay his stats vs. shadow coverage was astonishing. Not just because he had a higher PPG in the 7 contest when he faced shadow coverage, but it was who he did it against that was most impressive. Golladay has succeeded in games vs. notable tier 1 shadow coverage corners including Chris Harris, James Bradberry and Tre’Davious White. In 5 of the 7 games he had at least 14 points in .5 PPR with only 1 terrible game that was under 8 points.

Griffen Good for Jones, Not for You

Jerry Jones is doing everything he can to improve the Cowboys. The signing of Everson Griffen is another step in the right direction. Griffen and Jadeveon Clowney were the best two remaining edge rushers in free agency and Jones saved money by grabbing Griffen. How does the signing with Dallas affect his fantasy value in IDP leagues?

RazzBowl Draft Recap: EverywhereBlair’s Big Test

August 15, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, RazzBowl | 11 Comments

by: everywhereblair

Throughout July, I peppered the site with in-depth analysis of the 2019 RazzBowl and gave you the 2020 RazzBowl Guidebook. So, it's only fitting that I recap my own draft and let you know whether I followed my own advice, or deviated from the script. I'm most of the way through a RazzBowl qualifier draft as well, so I'll drop my notes and advice from that draft as well.

Top 20 Tight Ends for 2020 Fantasy Football

August 15, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings | 2 Comments

by: Donkey Teeth

The NFL COVID opt out deadline passed last week and it was more uneventful than my high school social life. On the offensive side of the ball, we lost a handful of o-linemen and a few dart throw wide receivers, but the only big news was Chiefs running back Damien Williams taking a passing on the 2020 season. This opens the door for first round rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire to take on a much larger workload and jump into the top 10 running backs, which have been updated accordingly. As Rudy Gamble so eloquently put it, the early season CEH overdrafters are sooooo lucky! In other news, Razzball offered me a voucher for a free oil change at Cledus's Auto Salvage if I opt of out of writing this year. Still thinking the deal over as the deadline approaches, but in the meantime, here's my top 20 tight ends for 2020 PPR fantasy football:

Top 80 WR Rankings for 2020 Fantasy Football: Preseason Edition

August 14, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings, Top 80 WR Rankings | 2 Comments

by: al_FF_red

It's still blazing hot outside but fall is around the corner and that means it's fantasy draft time! This is the first iteration of my top 80 wide receivers with all the latest updates to this point.

I plan on updating this list weekly as news comes in and the season approaches then of course each week in-season. This list is not league or format specific, but it is based on 2020 projection only. When thinking through tiers and rankings I asked myself simply - "all things considered who would I rather have on my roster?"

Some players have notes highlighting a format they may be more suited for.

Giddy up! Should you be Galluping into the Sunset?

August 13, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Strategy |

by: JB Barry

"To ride a horse at a gallop; ride at full speed". That is the dictionary.com definition of the word "gallop". So what happens when you change a vowel? What is the dictionary definition of the NAME Gallup? Is it "breakout," "efficient," "underestimated," "regression"? These are the questions that many fantasy football drafters are asking right now when they're staring at Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup in their queue this draft season. Should you hop on and ride at full speed into your championship?

Swinging with the Duke — Duke Johnson Fantasy Outlook

August 12, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football | 1 Comment

by: everywhereblair

In my opinion, your fantasy football success hinges on the success of your running backs this year. Rudy projects about 50 receivers to have over 90 targets, which is enough WR to fill a standard 12-team league almost 5 men deep (for more on this, read my analysis/therapist book, The Man Inside Me). So, there's about 50 WR who will score, on average in a PPR league, about 10 points/game or more. Meanwhile, there are 30 such RBs who are projected to score 10 points/per game in PPR scoring, meaning 2.5 RB per team. The lowest ADP of these running backs is Duke Johnson. I'll tell you why you should take a swing with the Texans' backup back, who could very well be the player who saves your fantasy playoff run in 2020.

Donkey’s Advocate: Terry McLaurin, Jimmy Garoppolo and Allen Robinson

The innovation machine never stops here at Razzball. Except for that one time when I tried to use it to heat up some leftover pizza. What a disaster that was! In the modern world of pandemics, riots and keto diets, we know it can be hard to find time to listen to 30-60 minute fantasy football shows. Oh, there’s a squirrel! Sorry, what was I talking about? Right, we’ve created a short-form video series for those of us with the attention span of a puppy. On Donkey’s Advocate, I’ll be bringing on many of the top fantasy football industry experts to sell me on one of their favorite 2020 fantasy football draft targets while I play devil’s donkey’s advocate. All of this will take place in a two minute rapid fire segment. In this week’s batch I was joined by Rudy Gamble, Dalton Del Don and Adam Ronis to discuss Terry McLaurin, Jimmy Garoppolo and Allen Robinson:

2020 Shadow Coverage Report: Carolina Panthers

August 11, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Strategy | 1 Comment

by: Bobby LaMarco

In 2019 D.J. Moore somehow avoided multiple match-ups vs. shadow corners. In week 3 the Panthers faced the Arizona Cardinals while Patrick Peterson was on suspension. In Week 5 the Panthers played against the Jaguars with no Jalen Ramsey. In week 12 the Saints were without Marshon Lattimore and in Week 17 Lattimore played limited snaps as the Saints had their playoff seed sealed up. Even young cornerback Carlton Davis was yet to be used in shadow coverage as the Panthers faced the Buccaneers both times early in 2019.

Fantasy Football Podcast: QB Rankings For Re-Draft

August 10, 2020 | Fantasy Football Podcast, Razzball Podcast |

by: B_Don

How could the guys top Ryan McDowell, Andy Behrens, Danny Kelly, reigning RazzBowl champion Mike Beers (yes, he insisted that be his title)? Well, we couldn't. So, it's just the OGs. The original guys, that's what that stands for, right? Anyway, B_Don reviewed Donkey Teeth's QB Rankings and came prepared with questions.

We start at the top with Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes debate. Not the way I would've expected each of us to go on this one, but I'm in on Lamar. DT makes his bold call with Kyler coming in at 3, and his love of Josh Allen knows no bounds as the Buffalo QB comes in at 6.

Both of us are down on Dak Prescott after a breakout 2020 season. Of course, Donkey Teeth loves the 'stache, just can't help himself. We wrap by talking about some veteran QBs that DT has pushed behind rookie, Joe Burrow.

There was a time when I thought babies were delivered by storks. Fake news! Cartoons are dangerous man. Then when I "matured", I thought making babies was as simple as wham, bam, welcome to the fam. It ain't that easy, though. When my wife and I decided to start a family, man....talk about an extensive game plan. Ovulation schedules.
