July 4th has come and gone, and we are less than a month away from the Hall of Fame Game in Canton. Fantasy drafters are starting to pivot fully to redraft mode, and in high-stakes leagues, the money is already in action. New ADPs are starting to get established. Some players who were best ball values in May are settling into new summer prices.
I do not think expensive ADPs should prohibit you from drafting profiles worth targeting. However, you should be limiting exposure to your preferred players to when they’re available at or near their ADP.
Last season, Ingram had double digit points in three out of four games with Kamara out last season, with a top-8 finish in week eight. He also had 19 targets in those four games without Kamara, almost taking on Kamara’s full role in his absence. Tony Jones and Abram Smith may pose a threat to Ingram’s workload, but Jones could not step forward last season and Smith is a UDFA rookie. Ingram is still the primary beneficiary of a Kamara suspension.
Fantasy analysis most often takes on a micro-perspective. We focus on which wide receiver or running back will finish number one overall at their position or which player will outdo another in a given positional tier. These ranking and tier discussions are helpful starting points, but to develop a robust draft plan we need to zoom out and take on a meta-perspective.
We like Jonathan Taylor because he is an outstanding player with previous success, runs behind one of the best offensive lines in football, and has an improved quarterback. He is a clear value in an extraordinary situation, and we also have previous success in a very similar situation. In this article, I examine what I call fantasy football arbitrage.
The 2022 Ravens Backfield Breakdown is part of an offseason series in which I take a deep dive into one NFL team’s backfield and examine the respective rushing performances of the players in it. In doing so, I hope to gain insights into key players from a talent evaluation standpoint. I want to use that evaluation as a baseline from a dynasty valuation standpoint.
In 2021, people threw darts at tight ends like Dalton Schultz, Dawson Knox, and Zach Ertz and found success. There will be more tight ends that will be draft day or waiver wire steals in 2022. Without further ado, here’s a top five list of values at the tight end position for 2022.
One of the most efficient rookie rushing seasons is only one year removed and it’s as if no one remembers. There is only one running back to average 6.0 yards per carry while amassing 800 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. So, ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce J.K. Dobbins as a fantasy player you must have for 2022.
The 2022 Saints Backfield Breakdown is part of an offseason series in which I take a deep dive into one NFL team’s backfield and examine the respective rushing performances of the players in it. In doing so, I hope to gain insights into key players from a talent evaluation standpoint, and using that evaluation as a baseline, from a dynasty valuation standpoint.
In 2021, people threw darts at wide receivers like Ja’Marr Chase, Mike Williams, and Deebo Samuel and found success. There will be more wide receivers that will be draft day or waiver wire steals in 2022. Without further ado, here’s a list of five values at wide receiver for the 2022 fantasy football season.
