Fantasy Football for Winners

A couple weeks ago I wondered on this podcast how good Joe Flacco could be in Cincinnati, because he was now throwing to the best receiver he's ever thrown to. That question was answered loudly and clearly during last night's game.

With Kenneth Gainwell now firmly in the picture, how much can we trust Jaylen Warren tonight and the rest of the season?

If your gut is telling you to draft a high-priced RB, but there’s a 75% chance he’ll be a bust, should you follow your gut or the percentages?

DJ Moore was the Bears' #1 WR entering the season. Some believe Rome Odunze is the new #1. But maybe there's no #1 at all, and that would be bad news for fantasy managers.

In the span of eight days, Rico Dowdle has racked up 473 offensive yards on 60 touches. We all know that's not sustainable. The more interesting angle is why Dowdle's value will plummet in the second half of the season, whether or not Chuba Hubbard is in the picture.

The Raiders’ top fantasy playmakers need a “good“ Geno Smith under center. But each passing week seems to bring us closer to a Kenny-Pickett-led passing attack that could lower everyone’s ceilings.

With Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin sidelined, who’s the Buccaneers' best Week 6 flex streamer?

Historical data pointed to a meaningful regression for Saquon Barkley this season, and frequently overlooked data pointed to a strong per-game season for Dallas Goedert.

Joe Flacco has never thrown to a wideout as talented as Ja’Marr Chase. Will this be a good pairing for fantasy managers?

Why Patrick Mahomes’ 2023 and 2024 “struggles“ might have been due partly to receiver turnover, and why greater stability in 2025 has helped return him to elite form.

Adding historical context for why TreVeyon Henderson isn’t getting more run despite Rhamondre Stevenson’s seven turnovers in his last 21 games.

Last week's lineup faltered when Malik Nabers was knocked out for the year. Let’s see if Jets-Cowboys will be as high-scoring as I think.

Most rookie RBs coming off high-touch college seasons significantly underperform and/or are eased into the starting lineup. Here’s why Ashton Jeanty has to be uniquely productive to do what so many before him have not.

At age 37, Matthew Stafford is on pace for his best fantasy season since 2011. Is it sustainable?

An analysis of Christian McCaffrey’s history playing back-to-back on Sunday-Thursday, and what it tells us about his outlook tonight against the Rams.

It’s human nature for fantasy managers to add players who just came up big. but it doesn’t always work. Here’s how to make sense of some of the most popular Week 5 adds.

Justin Fields is outperforming preseason expectations, and Breece Hall is falling short. What should we expect the rest of the season?

Darius Slayton arguably has been the most consistently effective “next man up” fantasy WR of the past decade.

If Jaxson Dart is the real deal, then this DFS lineup could be the real deal.

Kyler Murray’s per-game fantasy production has pretty steadily declined since 2020. What are the warning signs heading into the Cardinals’ Thursday Night Football matchup against the Seahawks?

Why is Dylan Sampson rostered in nearly 5x more leagues than Blake Corum, and why is Elic Ayomanor a better investment than Rashod Bateman?
