Two weeks to go before the NFL season begins. Training camp coming to a close and position battles and injuries shaping the landscape. There are a few changes we need to pay attention to. Here are my updated LB rankings for your IDP drafts.  

Stock up

TJ Watt moves up from 11 to 8 as a lot of IDP leagues are starting to adjust their scoring systems and I think this helps Watt.  Look for Watt to dominate again this season and compete for the top spot in defensive player leagues.

2020 Shadow Coverage Report: Seattle Seahawks

August 30, 2020 | Fantasy Football Strategy |

by:

Last season D.K. Metcalf’s rookie success started catching the eye of defensive coordinators as teams began to target him with their top corners over the final weeks of 2019. Weeks 14-16 Metcalf faced tier 1 shadow corners Jalen Ramsey (6-78), James Bradberry (2-36-1) and Patrick Peterson (0-0). Can Metcalf improve enough in his second season to overcome these tough match-ups. His early season success vs. shadow coverage will dictate whether he can be trusted vs. a tough mid-season corner-back schedule in 2020.

TnP Player Prop: Brandin Cooks Receiving Yards

August 29, 2020 | NFL Gambling |

by:

The 1840s began the American Gold Rush, and one place gold-seekers stopped at on their way to fortune was Stockon, California. Captain Charles Maria Weber sold all the supplies you needed to discover a nugget of your own in the fields of the Golden State. The town went by many names before honoring Commodore Robert F. Stockton in 1849, including Fat City, Mudville, and Tuleberg. One hundred sixty years later, on a different type of Californian field, another piece of Stockton gold was uncovered-Brandin Cooks.

Cooks led Lincoln High School in receiving notching 66 catches and 1125 yards, cementing his status as a top recruit for Oregon State, where Brandin won the Biletnikoff Award for the most outstanding wide receiver in the nation. In 2014, the golden boy from Stockton was selected 20th overall by the New Orleans Saints in the NFL Draft. Fitting, he would wear the Old gold and black on his helmet while making his league debut.

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 Andy Behrens, Nando Di Fino and Jeff Erickson to discuss D’Andre Swift, Jordan Howard and Marquise Brown:

Where’s The Helium For Preston Williams?

August 27, 2020 | Fantasy Football Strategy, Fantasy Football Targets |

by:

Undrafted. Slow. Not Agile. His PlayerProfiler page has him under the 50th percentile in 40-yard dash, speed, burst, agility, and catch radius. More specifically, he’s in the 7th percentile for burst and 13th for 40-yard time. Yuck. To compound things, he suffered a torn ACL in Week 9 of last year. So, why do I think Preston Williams of the Miami Dolphins is a value as the 54th wide receiver and 137th overall player off the board, according to NFFC ADP from 8/1 to 8/23?

Wide Receiver Dice Rolls

We talk about it time and time again here at Razzball. Most recently, Al_FF_Red AKA The BOOF brought this up on the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast. Are you ready? It is okay to miss in your drafts on players. It is okay to miss A LOT. How many waiver wire acquisitions are you making per year? Probably anywhere in between 15 and 40 per team from personal experience. You are going to drop guys that don’t do a lick for 3 straight weeks for a wide receiver that Aaron Rodgers bought coffee for because a beat writer tweeted about it. What is important is that one or two players that you take outside of the top 8 rounds explodes. There are only two wide receivers on this list that are being drafted inside of the top 50 wide receivers. Here are some high upside slivers of hope for the last few rounds of your drafts.

Fantasy Football Podcast: Running Back Rankings Part 2

August 26, 2020 | Razzball Podcast |

by:

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are back for running back rankings for 2020 fantasy football part deux. We discuss some NFL news off the top including: the David Montgomery injury, Parris Campbell, Damien Harris, and continue to profess our love for Preston Williams. Then, we follow up with a podcast announcement before getting into the rest of DT’s RB ranks.

We start with some rookie RB back and forth where we differ on how we see the veterans and incumbents fitting into the offenses. We look at the Bills backfield with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss both coming in pretty low. B_Don defends Ronald Jones and Jordan Howard, and we take a look at how the Titans offense may look if anything were to happen to Derrick Henry.

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are back to discuss DT’s redraft RB rankings, top 10 and top 20. We start at the top with some tier talk among the elite RBs. Then, we get into where DT’s ranks diverge from the consensus with Austin Ekeler, Kenyan Drake, and Miles Sanders. We’re both higher on Leonard Fournette, and DT explains why he’s so high on Le’veon Bell. We wrap up with some Derrick Henry and David Johnson discussion where B_Don tries to talk DT into Henry and out of DJ.

Training Camp News and Notes: The Bears Would Be Foles To Ignore Nick

August 26, 2020 | Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 2 Comments

by:

There are a few theories to why the Bears brought Nick Foles into the quarterback room in Chicago. My guess was that it was to light a fire under two and a half year starter Mitch Trubisky. You know, make him realize that there is a possibility that he wouldn’t be the starter and it would be a motivator. It appears that the Bears are willing to do what it takes to win right now just one year removed from a playoff appearance. They still have a pretty good defense and Allen Robinson in his prime. 

Reports suggest that Nick Foles has a slight edge in the pursuit of the starting job over Mitch Trubisky. The Rotoworld blurb continued by saying Mitch is making a bunch of mistakes and struggling with accuracy while Nick has been steady but not spectacular. From a fantasy perspective, Nick Foles is what Anthony Miller and Allen Robinson enthusiasts like myself want to see. While Nick Foles’ ceiling height is that of an upstairs attic in a horror movie, he will at least be able to get the ball to Miller and Robinson without too much of an issue.

Top 200 for 2020 Fantasy Football

Training camp is now in full gear, and if you’ve watched any of Hard Knocks then you know the NFL is taking COVID-19 very seriously, allocating more resources to team health and safety than I allocate to searching the internet for shirtless pictures of my favorite players; that’s a lot of resources. And you also know that Jalen Ramsey is touring some very creepy L.A. homes and Sean McVay’s transformation into a Jon Gruden clone grows stronger by the day. But most importantly, how great does Austin Ekeler look without a shirt on?
