Q&A

  • What are some of the key factors to consider when evaluating breakout players?

    Look for players with favorable situations, such as a new offensive coordinator or a quarterback upgrade. Also, consider players with strong talent and potential who have yet to break out.

  • How important is opening schedule in fantasy football?

    Opening schedule can be a significant factor, especially when choosing between two similar players. Players with favorable matchups against weaker opponents can get off to a strong start and provide a valuable advantage.

  • What are some of the risks associated with drafting rookie tight ends?

    Rookie tight ends often take time to develop and may not have a significant impact in their first season. They can also be prone to injuries and may not be reliable week-to-week.

  • How do you approach the trade market in fantasy football?

    It's important to be patient and wait for the right opportunity. Look for players who are undervalued or in situations that could improve. Be willing to give up assets to acquire players with high upside.

  • What are some of the key takeaways from the preseason?

    The preseason provides valuable insights into player development, offensive schemes, and potential breakout candidates. It's also a good time to identify players who may be overvalued or undervalued in fantasy drafts.
