Usually I would have our undervalued player articles up before this month but because of the lockout situation, and drastic player movement, [...]

It can take time for even the top talents at the quarterback position to arrive at a level of growth in their career that they are ready to be possible starters in fantasy football leagues. Not only does a quarterback need to understand his offense inside and out, but he needs the right peaces around [...]

Just look at last years’ breakout receivers like Brandon Lloyd, Steve Johnson, rookie Mike Williams as reasons to believe that you can find top twenty options at this position, if you do a little ground work to understand who is getting an opportunity to excel.

Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis was finally used as a focal point in the passing game, and became a starter for fantasy owners on a weekly basis. While the tight end position doesn’t produce as many sleeper options as receiver or running back, you can still find a few possible breakout options every year. Below [...]

Finding undervalued sleepers is essential for success in fantasy football, and it can be especially useful in IDP leagues, if you can stay on top of player movement and which positions give way to fantasy success. I’ve found that of the three main IDP positions to draft begin defensive end, linebacker, and defensive back, it [...]

The linebacker position has to be the funnest position to talk about in IDP fantasy football, as players at this spot on the field, tend to be in the mix all over the field. When given an opportunity to shine at the middle linebacker spot, you can find option that may not have been fantasy [...]

Defensive lineman are truly the hardest position in IDP fantasy to find reliable weekly options, and it is recommended that you look to this position as the a spot to lock up at least two starters as possibly your first IDP players off the board on your team. That said, even last year a stud [...]

With Jeremy Maclin gone for who knows how long, DeSean Jackson stands to benefit with more targets from Michael Vick. While Jackson holds a better value in standard scoring leagues, he’s still a worthy option to target as an early No.2 receiver in PPR leagues as he has a respectable chance to nab 75 plus [...]

While Antonio Gates is still the top tight end going in recent mock drafts, it’s hard to believe that he will play a full sixteen games this year. At least Gates found the practice field over the weekend and reportedly had a smile on his face after his workout was complete. For those of you [...]
