The Fantasy Footballers: Waiver Wire Week 4
If you are looking for a WR, the waiver wire isn’t a dead zone yet with plenty of options to choose from like Justin Jefferson, Scotty Miller, or Anthony Miller. However, the TE and RB landscape is not so fortunate.

Rotoworld: 2020 – A Year of Safety and a League for Change
For Week 1 Friday Daily Dose, I look back at our first 2020 TNF game featuring the Texans and defending champs Chiefs.

I also list some injury updates and quick hits from around the league.

Next up in my Players to Remember series is the running back position.

The Fantasy Footballers: Three TEs to Remember in 2020
Identifying late-round gems at any position can be the key to winning your championship.

The Fantasy Footballers: What To Expect From Miles Sanders in 2020
Since the Eagles failed to add a veteran running back to replace Jordan Howard so far in the offseason, there is quite a bit of hype surrounding Miles Sanders’ production and usage in 2020. I explore what we should expect from Sanders this year in a Doug Pederson led offense. Can he be the featured back or is the RBBC the way of the Eagles?
The Fantasy Footballers: Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp – Who To Target in 2020
The choice between Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp never gets easier – both players are too talented. However, are there some changes in the Rams’ offense from 2019 that may give us an idea of their usage and targets for 2020? I explore the burning question between Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp and who should get the nod in 202.
FantasyPros: Are We Sleeping on David Johnson, Todd Gurley, and Le’Veon Bell?
There was a time when these guys were an auto-draft in the 1st Round. They led the league, they won your fantasy leagues and having them incited fear in the hearts of your opponents. Things have changed for all three back, but are we passing on these RBs at our peril? I look at what has changed for each back to find fantasy potential for 2020.

The Fantasy Footballers: What to Expect from Jordan Howard in 2020
It feels like Jordan Howard has been in the league for twenty years, yet he’s only 25 years old and on his third NFL. We saw glimpses of his rise to fantasy greatness during his time in Philadelphia, but it fell short due to a shoulder injury. Now with the Miami Dolphins, does Jordan Howard have the opportunity on the worst offensive in the league to rebound to RB1 territory or will vanish into fantasy irrelevance in 2020.
The Fantasy Footballers: What to Expect from Le’Veon Bell in 2020
Are we sleeping on Le’Veon Bell? If you asked me this question 2 years ago, I would have laughed at you. However, after a holdout year and then a “meh” season in 2019 with the Jets, it’s no surprise his ADP is low and falling. Adding Frank Gore to the RB mix doesn’t help this decline but are we doing ourselves a favor looking over Bell or is it a huge disservice to our roster?
