Welcome reader/commenter. If you’re reading this, I have something exciting cooked up for you this season. It’s a vampire league! The concept is fairly straightforward. The vampire, let’s call him Dakula, doesn’t get to draft a team. They must build it via waivers once the other teams complete the draft. The twist is that if you lose a head to head match up to Dakula they get to swap one of your starting players for his. As the vampire’s potential prey, you need to decide which of your players to expose. As the season goes on, Dakula should get stronger. There are a few other wrinkles I have in mind. One of my favorite board games is The Fury Of Dracula. Here are some rules inspired by FoD, as well the other pertinents.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The civilians that don’t live inside a fantasy football bubble 365 days per year are revving up for their draft season so it’s time for a rankings post! We don’t make a draft kit sort of thing, we want you to come see us at the site. Here you are now! Hello. Just because we don’t make a draft kit doesn’t mean I can’t give you draft rankings to read, laugh at, or use as a bad beer coaster if you print them out on regular printer paper.

Target Share Analysis: Where Do Missing Targets Go?
August 13, 2019 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 11 Commentsby: Rudy Gamble
A lot of fantasy football rankings and projecting boils down to how one distributes rush attempts and targets to a team’s RB/WR/TE. There are macro-variables (e.g., how many plays will the team run? what is the rush/pass split?), rate variables (what is the player’s catch rate?, what is their yards per target?) and kinda but not completely fluky TD projecting. But, for the most part, each season’s non-injury based breakouts and disappointments can be tied to a larger rush and/or target percentage than estimated by the consensus.

Boring Bois: Familiar Names That Add Depth
August 12, 2019 | Draft Strategy, Fantasy Football Analysis, Fantasy Football Strategy | 12 Commentsby: MB
Drafting your fantasy football team is all about risk management. You want just as many guys with a good statistical pedigree as you do guys that have big upside. Let’s face it, not every 6th-7th round pick with the explosiveness and opportunity to return profit is going to do so. You’re going to draft a flop every now and then, it’s just how this stupid game that we love so much works. The players that I’m writing about today are most likely going to return value, but they probably won’t jump out at you on a week to week basis. These are just solid contributors that you can’t take out of your lineup and they end up helping you get to your goal of making the playoffs and making a run at the title. This is how you take luck out of fantasy football and it’s also a reminder to myself to enforce risk management in my drafts.

ADP Royal Rumble III: Kupp Vs. Golladay Vs. Jeffery
August 12, 2019 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 13 Commentsby: al_FF_red
A friend and I were recently texting during a mock draft and he kept finding pockets of players with similar ADP and seemingly similar upside. We would go back and forth making points and counterpoints, but in the end it was just a gut call. I realized that may not be the optimal way to make that choice on the fly and ventured to create a “checklist” of sorts to compare similar players alongside each other.

There have been some great inventions by humankind over the course of our existence: architecture, electricity, the Instant Pot, the air fryer, and the internet to name a few. And with the invention of the internet, came the RCL. Perhaps the greatest reader vs. reader vs. contributor fantasy football tournament on the web.

As drafts lag on, many fantasy players are tempted to just log off and auto-pick the scrubs. This is a mistake. If nothing else, hand-selecting potential gold mines late eliminates the need to spend your precious FAAB down the line. With training camps opening there are a handful of forgotten names that seem to be floating to the top of depth charts. As the drumbeat builds, ADPs may rise but you can still obtain these 3 players at the end of 12 team drafts.
