ECR stands for “Expert Consensus Ranking,” which means the average rankings of the fantasy football industry and is typically similar to ADP (which differs from site-to-site). This ongoing positional series will highlight some big differences between ECR and my own ranks. Go here for quarterbacks.  Running Backs I like more than consensus Breece Hall, New York Jets (ECR = RB3 …

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta did something truly amazing last season: he became a star fantasy tight end in his rookie year. That is no small feat at that position. Ten touchdowns and 120 targets for a rookie tight end? Seems like a thing only dreams are made of, but LaPorta got it done. How will he follow his …

It’s June. No one has nor does anyone need “the answers to the test” yet — to use a silly analogy that somehow makes the very unserious pursuit of understanding and projecting NFL teams and players seem like some profound quest.

Mock drafts of course have an even greater level of ridiculousness, because no one involved actually has to live with the …

The Los Angeles Rams have plenty of time before their regular season opener. It’s 34 days from Monday, to be exact.

Players retire, leaguemates bail but one thing never goes away … ADP.

Patrick Everson FOX Sports Betting Analyst Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is no doubt a lightning rod for attention. In fact, the son of Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders — also no stranger to the spotlight — would already be in the NFL, had he chosen to enter the 2024 NFL Draft.
