Dictating the Turns
The thought of drafting 100+ teams in a summer would have seemed nuts a couple of years ago. But this year, Team 100 is far in my rearview mirror... and I have plenty of open road ahead. And one of the advantages of drafting frequently is that specific tactics begin
Draft Like You Have a Time Machine
The more I think about it, the more I think the late rounds offer one of the biggest edges in best ball. Granted, any given late-round pick is unlikely to deliver for you. In fact, late-round selections are so tricky to get right that we've frequently seen high
Stacking Keeps You Flexible
It's clear we're going to be talking about Week 17 correlation a lot this summer. You know which side of the argument I'm on. My life-changing lineup included a farcical George Kittle/Hunter Renfrow mini correlation. But I expect the pushback on Week 17
Elite TE is Going Out of Style... but it's Going Out on Top
Fantasy football tends to be a game where whatever worked in the most recent season drives the narrative for the following year's drafts. But at tight end, we're not seeing that dynamic play out. Drafting an elite tight end (which I'm defining as a

Best Ball: Where Should Tony Pollard Go in Drafts?
3/16/23 Somewhere on the Internet, there is a version of this post where I literally begged you to draft Tony Pollard in the 4th round. Unfortunately, you were not aware of the existence of Legendary Upside when that post was published – and for that, I apologize. We now
Don't Question Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Ceiling—Rookie WRs Tiers 1-2
3/15/23 Class Overview The 2023 wide receiver class looks far shallower than recent WR classes. Per my model, the 2020 class had seven WRs rated as 1st-round rookie picks. The 2021 and 2022 classes each had eight. For the 2023 class... I have just three WRs that rate
