We should all know by now the Eagles’ defense is funneled toward protecting the run and not the pass. The Eagles have already shown us that the number one receiver each week is allowed to go off for insane production as part of their defensive philosophy.

There is not much to say for the Jets’ passing situation as everything should reset once Sam Darnold is back this week. For those playing DFS this week, the Jets defense is criminally cheap and allows thousands of dollars in savings compared to others.

The Rams of old are slowly making an appearance again with Todd Gurley increasing his snaps each game and the Rams supporting multiple pass catchers. It is good news for Gurley that he saw 15 of the team’s 18 carries and Malcolm Brown is no longer a factor.

Christian McCaffrey leads the NFL for rushing attempts with 86 and is having 10 target games almost on a regular basis, which makes him the consensus No. 1.

Austin Ekeler and Mark Ingram are showing to be the steals of the draft so far, as both are one-of-four players averaging more than 20 points (PPR) for running backs.

Marlon Mack is leading the NFL in rushing attempts so far with 45.. Dalvin Cook is the next best with 41 attempts for 265 yards. Le’Veon Bell, Sony Michel and Ezekiel Elliott round out the Top-5 for rushing attempts with 36 each.

The landscape for defensive rankings so far have proven to be a far cry from last year. Eventually, the expected teams such as Jacksonville and Philadelphia will progress towards their normal means instead of being below average as they have ...

There is no reason to believe Austin Ekeler will not have positive game scripts with a passable offensive line and more targets with the departure of Tyrell Williams. He could be a solid RB2, RB3 or flex on your team right away if you load up on wide receiver early.

Many experts have been high on Nick Chubb as a player for the upcoming year -- despite some glaring red flags. Others see the red flags at the cost of picking Nick Chubb at the start of the second round of drafts.

Playing more in the preseason is usually evidence of distrust of a player especially in the first game. Here are some mid-to-late round players with signs pointing for optimism based on injuries and playing time.

With the recent emergence of best-ball popularity among fantasy professionals and more casual players, everyone needs differentiation between players good for regular leagues and those who will win best-ball leagues. With best-ball leagues starting on Yahoo! for the first time ...

Jimmy G is a lot more talented than Trubisky (another steal at ADP) with the fastest release and best looks in the NFL meaning he should outperform his ADP. His schedule allows him to be at least a late streamer in deep leagues or a good best-ball option at the end of the draft.

Tight end is a heavily weighted position in these leagues as many have 1.5 PPR rules for tight ends only. I have seen Kelce go in the first round of multiple drafts because his production over the next available player is that much higher.

Dak Prescott has been a sleeper each year in fantasy football and has ended up a "top-half" fantasy quarterback each and every season. He may not be the typical player you think of when you think #11 fantasy quarterback in 2018 but he was.

This position group has the largest drop-off in production. Besides the obvious Rob Gronkowski flop of last year, drafting a top-tier tight end last year proved to be sound strategy.

Having a monopoly over the Seattle backfield is equal to a first round running back this year... Rashaad Penny has a real chance to take volume from Chris Carson (and maybe even the starting role eventually) but the current ADP of both players allows massive upside especially when drafted together.
