As a consistent points factory under Sean Payton and Drew Brees, the Saints are always among the NFL’s most fantasy relevant team each year.

Every season huge fantasy values emerge because an entire offense takes a massive leap forward -- look no further than the 2017 Rams, who went from last in scoring all the way to first. Todd Gurley became a fantasy MVP in the process, while Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp were undrafted WRs who became quality season-long starters. After tons of exciting play-caller movement, 2018 is littered with tea...

As  explored last week , 12 new HC's or OC's calling plays in 2018.  As  Todd Gurley 's additional 881 yards and 13 TDs on just 22 more touches under  Sean McVay  ​​​​show, proper usage can be all the difference in fantasy. Most often, this boils down to the coaching scheme.  Unfortunately, very few -- if any -- fantasy football sites analyze these coaching changes, at least not with the depth of...

With 12 new HC's or OC's calling plays in 2018, the Coaching Carousel has been spinning at record speed this offseason.

Unfortunately, very few -- if any -- fantasy football si...

In Episode 19, we reveal our secret sauce. Simple yet incredibly in-depth, th...
