Training Camp News & Notes: Some Unfourtunette News

With just 8 days to go until kickoff, the NFL is packing our lives with all sorts of drama. I’m also binge watching Friday Night Lights for the first time and I’m in the middle of season 3. Every hour of the day is now an emotional roller coaster. 8 days! 8 days! Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose. Unless you’re Leonard Fournette.

On Monday morning the Jaguars let Leonard Fournette go and created a twitter frenzy over what was quite frankly, a lateral move. I’m sorry guys and gals, I’ve just never been a fan! There isn’t anything that sticks out about his game to me. If you were drafting Leonard, you were drafting a guy who was going to get a lot of volume on a team that probably isn’t going to move the ball a ton. If your team isn’t moving the ball, your 3rd round RB isn’t going to find pay dirt.

After every season there are disappointing names who failed to live up to the hype. This can create a negative cloud over their name, which is reflected in fantasy football rankings and their ADP. Players might have failed to adjust to a new system, battled injuries, or just flat out stunk. A new year is their opportunity can turn things around, and there are quite a few names that fit the bill for 2020.

QB Pockets: Where To Draft Your Quarterback

September 1, 2020 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 9 Comments

by: JB Barry

Football season is right around the corner and leagues everywhere are scrambling to set up their fantasy drafts. Things may be a bit different this year for some leagues. Leagues that have previously gathered in bars, living rooms, backyards and office conference rooms may be moving from live drafts to online drafts this season due to Covid-19. Some leagues are incorporating Zoom meetings into their drafts so the smack talking can continue. Whichever way you’re doing your draft this season, you need to get ready and have a plan and that’s what were here for!

Today’s article is going to help you prepare for your draft and help you plan when and how to draft your quarterbacks. The most common leagues are 10 or 12 team redraft leagues where you start 1 QB each week, so in those leagues, you want to have 2 solid quarterbacks when you walk out of the draft room. Whether you’re playing against your brother-in-law Doug or Chad from Accounting, its important for you to go into a draft with a road map to success and that’s what I’m going to break down for you here in this article, specifically where to target drafting your quarterbacks.

The Patriots Bring Back an Oldie but Goodie

August 31, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football | 11 Comments

Unless you purchased a certain car with a flux capacitor, that permeates time and space after accelerating to 88 mile per hour, off of Craigslist, reliving the past is not an option. But there are ways to recreate aspects of it. Press play on that special jam, and your past and present bodies, minds, and souls gyrate in unison. That old flame? You will never find the exact replica, but sometimes you can find someone eerily similar. When in a rut, often going back to the tried and true techniques brings clarity to a situation. That seems to be what Bill Belichick is doing in Patriots Land, as he drafted Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene in the 2020 NFL Draft, replicating the 2010 draft when he landed Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski. Can Asiasi and Keene be fantasy viable?

From a physical standpoint, there are tons of similarities.

Top 50 Linebacker IDP Rankings Update

August 31, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings, IDP Rankings | 14 Comments

by: GasDoc

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: Bobby LaMarco

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: Aaron Pags

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: Son

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?
