Injuries hurt more for actual NFL teams than they do for our fantasy teams, but when you have to fill the open spot left by an absent star, it can feel like a personal assault that your star isn't on the field. How dare they break bones or tear ligaments when we're counting on them!
Bryce Young started his career looking like a bust; there are no two ways about it. He averaged less than 6.0 yards per pass attempt over his first three seasons, essentially a full yard below average. Even when taking out his abysmal rookie year, that number only rises to 6.3.
When in doubt in fantasy football, it's often best to go with the matchups. Going based on gut feeling isn't a science; it's a 50/50 proposition that somehow always ends up the wrong way. The numbers won't always play out the right way, but you can make yourself feel much better losing with the right process.
Star fantasy backs are sparse; that's why I like loading up on RBs in the draft. When you're loaded, though, it's about playing matchups, and that's what we are looking to do here today.
Major injuries don't just affect the players who go down or the guys who step into the vacated roles. There's a trickle-down effect that takes away from those who rely on the injured star for their own positive performance.
With four days left in the MLB regular season, the postseason picture is starting to take shape. Four divisions have been decided, and the three current wild cards in both leagues have at least three games between them and any team outside the playoff picture. It'll take something crazy for one of those teams to sneak into the field, but it's not impossible; there could still be some excitement on the final day.
Last week, we had an absolute smorgasbord of fantasy options in the Thursday night game. The Bills and Lions faced off and didn't disappoint, combining for 72 points and a ton of fantasy points; remember when the Thursday night game always used to be, like, the Jaguars vs. the Titans?
Hey folks. We're bringing Goalie Gab back, and this time we're talking about one of the most volatile parts of fantasy hockey: goalie tandems. Goaltending can be incredibly difficult to predict from one season to the next, and when two goalies are competing for playing time, figuring out who will actually provide fantasy value becomes even tougher.
We have more information to go off after two weeks of football, but that's still not enough to really make educated calls. The small sample problem rears its ugly head in every sport, but at least in the others, we get 80-plus games to figure things out. With so few games in the NFL, we have to start deciding right away what we think is for real.
Every team is in their second-to-last series currently, bringing the light that much closer to the end of the tunnel. For some franchises, that's a welcomed end to a long season (for both fans and players), but for others, it's a sign that postseason baseball is about to start, and every game will really start to matter soon.
