Giovani Bernard has a lot of potential, but as of now, that’s all — just potential. Bernard is a rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals competing for carries with BenJarvus Green-Ellis. Bernard, as a rookie, is somewhat unknown, but as a third or fourth running back in fantasy, that can be a positive. Bernard has shown a [...]
Marques Colston is Undervalued in Standard Fantasy Football Drafts
Marques Colston has always been solid, but somehow that has not gotten him fantasy respect. Players drafting in fantasy always want the sexy new player about to have a big year that no one will see coming. Colston certainly is not that, so he gets passed over like other “boring picks“. Colston has casually had [...]
Mike Wallace is Undervalued in Standard Fantasy Drafts
Mike Wallace is a good receiver with some upside, but is going too early in many fantasy drafts. Wallace had an off 2012, getting less than 1,000 yards in 15 games. He wasn’t bad, but he fell outside of the top 20 receivers, something that should not happen to someone of his talent. Wallace then [...]
Dez Bryant is Overvalued In Standard Fantasy Football Drafts
Dez Bryant had a crazy year last year, but don’t expect a repeat performance. Bryant will probably go in the second round, maybe before hidden studs like Matt Forte and Stevan Ridley. Not only will those guys almost certainly get more fantasy points than Bryant, but there is more depth at wide receiver. He would have [...]
Michael Vick is Undervalued in Standard Fantasy Drafts
Michael Vick has a complicated history with many fantasy owners. Many believed heavily in his upside, and were burned badly when he failed to achieve his potential or when he went down with an injury. There are few things worse than having a star player with so much potential destroy your fantasy season, and after [...]
Matt Forte is Undervalued in Standard Fantasy Football Drafts
Matt Forte is a boring pick, but a good one. Forte’s draft position has the opposite problem of some overvalued stars; last year he scored fewer touchdowns than one would expect. Because of this he is undervalued this year. Forte only scored five touchdowns last year, tied for last in the top 15 running backs. [...]
Kyle Rudolph is Overvalued in Standard Fantasy Football Drafts
Kyle Rudolph is the product of randomness. In fantasy, two major factors go into points: yards and touchdowns. Yards are fairly consistent, touchdowns are not. So yes, Kyle Rudolph was a top-10 tight end last year, but guess what, he was 25th in yards, and second in touchdowns — that screams randomness. Rudolph has the same [...]
Colin Kaepernick is Overvalued in Standard Fantasy Football Drafts
Colin Kaepernick is extremely talented, but is still overrated in fantasy. Kaepernick took over last year for Alex Smith as quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, and took the league by storm. His legs and arm helped the 49ers get to the Super Bowl. He must be a fantasy stud, right? Well, not exactly. First [...]
