ROUNDS 6-8 POSTED TODAY! -- We're opening up our Analysis Mock Draft season with a number of analysis drafts from our staff in various formats. To open, we're starting traditional with a standard 12-teamer, full point PPR with a Flex.

After Ben Roethlisberger was lost for the season, the Steelers’ entire passing game became as unappealing as anchovies on a fudge sundae. The sky is still the limit for Smith-Schuster..

In Episode 2 of the Fantasy Sharks Weekly Podcast, John Lanfranca will reveal ten important stats to know, each correlating to a player he is bullish on for the 2020 season. What do these stats really tell us? And do ...

For several years, there’s been a movement among some in the Individual Defensive Player (IDP) community to create an “edge-rusher” position that lumps together 4-3 defensive ends and 3-4 linebackers. The main reason behind this is to give rush linebackers like ...

A new podcast that will cover all the bases of your football needs from Fantasy Football to Sports Betting, Daily Fantasy Sports and everything in between. Long-time Fantasy Sharks writer John Lanfranca hosts this weekly podcast that will be available ...

The Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA) awarded their 2019 writing awards back in February. Our very own Gary Davenport was awarded the top prize,  Football Writer Of The Year – 2019. Gary is a nine-time FSWA Award finalist and three-time ...

The biggest fantasy personnel move of the 2020 offseason was no doubt the trade that sent superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals. But there was a flip side to that move — as part of their compensation, ...

In each of the past two seasons, a second-year quarterback has taken the NFL (and fantasy football) by storm. Is Kyler Murray the Next Second-Year Fantasy Sensation at QB? That is the question.

I had a good time Tuesday night drafting with some industry veterans like Paul Charchian, David Dodds, Mike Nease, David Dorey, Lenny Pappano, Mike Nazarek just to name a few, some true heavyweights in that group of guys.

Two years ago, the Indianapolis Colts used the 36th overall pick in the NFL draft on an athletic young linebacker from South Carolina State named Darius Leonard. Leonard wasn’t the first off-ball linebacker drafted that year — that was Georgia’s ...

This is our current list of rookies and our player ranking for your upcoming dynasty league rookie drafts. We list them in projected career order but also weight positions by overall position scarcity. For example, while we actually have Joe ...

The 2020 NFL Draft has come and gone. It was an odd affair hosted from Roger Goodell’s basement that contained a number of puzzling picks and moments — chief among them whatever the heck was going on at Tennessee Titans ...

It's been a few days since I've posted here. I got bogged down with the NFL Draft and all that means after the fact. We've been busy updating player databases, depth charts, assigning players further sub-positions (like making a DB a CB, FS or SS) and generally getting the player universe all tidied up for the launch of the 2020 fantasy season.

It’s a long ways off but we’ve run some numbers and wanted to share an overview of where the best position is to be this year in a standard fantasy 12-team snake-draft. We’ve done analysis in the past on season ...

We’ll follow up with the all-important rookies for dynasty leagues list, but for redraft leagues we’ve put this together for you. Each player is assigned a value that we calculate using our evaluation algorithm, which produces a players expected fantasy ...

In a move that shocked no one, the Bengals got their franchise QB. While it is not enough to immediately make A.J. Green & Joe Mixon first round picks in fantasy drafts, their value has gone up a bit. As far as Andy Dalton's future, he should only be drafted by people who also got Burrow, just in case Burrow gets hurt.

The Bengals got their guy on the offensive side of the ball and now they can make out like bandits and get one of the best O-Line prospects in the draft to help protect him. Isaiah Wilson can immediately slide in to replace Cody Glenn and will be just as good as Glenn was.

While I do not have to sit in an airport to get to the NFL draft this year, I did still sketch out two rounds, here is Round 1. Keep in mind, these are picks based on rumors, where players have made visits and other general information based on team needs. Enjoy!

The economy in the United States has ground to a halt. Hospitals from coast to coast are jam-packed and running low on supplies. And while it seems trivial compared to matters as serious as those, the sports world has just about completely frozen in place.

Hello? Is there anybody out there? Things are crazy in the world right now. As much as we’d love to see the return of all things sports related, it’s worth noting that every decision that has been made so far ...

In many respects, this is the most scrutinized free agent period in recent memory. With most of the sports world on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the globe, the NFL is the only major sport still in operation. ...

I thought that I'd give this a go. In the year of the pandemic, distractions like fantasy football can sometimes be welcome. Well wishes to anyone struggling with Covid-19, there's an entire species (primarily) attempting to do their part.

The Kansas City Chiefs – Super Bowl LIV Champions.

It is my last article of the year. Super Bowl LIV is here. The term Super Bowl is credited to the Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt. But a deep-dive investigation into the veracity of this naming results in opinion ...

Welcome my fantasy brethren to another edition of The Prognosticator, may it be a satisfying end game. Thanks once again to all of you for stopping by this year. If you’re still here, you’re hardcore, and I thank you for ...

In order to help you in the final quest for a fantasy championship (and a few laughs), I’ll be publishing IDP rankings each week during the NFL playoffs here at Fantasy Sharks. These rankings assume a league format where teams start two defensive linemen, two linebackers, two defensive backs and a “flex” spot or two.

We are at the penultimate week of the 100th season of the NFL and the only thing we know is that there will be two new participants in the Super Bowl this year.

Can the Titans stay hot and cool off Patrick Mahomes and the rolling Chiefs offense? Can Aaron Rodgers bounce back from a brutal Week 12 performance against the 49ers and lead the Packers back to the Super Bowl? David Grey ...

While Tennessee will be able to run Derrick Henry incessantly they won't have an answer for Patrick Mahomes who will run, scramble and pass his way into a Super Bowl.

Next up are the Tennessee Titans and Derrick Henry traveling to Baltimore Ravens and to deal with their talented QB Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson has to prove he can win in the playoffs and I say he struggles. Upset alert as the Titans run all over Baltimore.

The Wild Card Round has come and gone. And for the second season in a row, it was wild indeed. Three of the four road teams (the Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans) emerged with victories. The No. 3 ...

Mark Andrews, was a relative unknown playing in an offense that we knew very little about. He went from being an unknown commodity to a Top-4 selection at his position next season as 852 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns will do that for a guy.

Can the Ravens slow down Derrick Henry and the Titans or will Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have the last laugh? Can the two Aarons (Rodgers and Jones) keep the Packers alive or will Beast Mode live to see another ...

I know many that are skeptical of Green Bay but they shouldn't be. Seattle just isn't the same team without Chris Carson and while Russell Wilson is most certainly a dangerous foe, Green Bay will be able to run all day on Seattle which will keep Wilson on the bench, right where he can't do much damage.

Welcome my fantasy brethren to another edition of The Prognosticator, may it cause you pause. The playoffs are here and are we as excited as ever for what should be an action filled fun run through the NFL post season ...

The thing is, all hope is not lost, intrepid fantasy football freaks. You can still stave off the offseason blues for a while longer--by participating in a fantasy playoff Individual Defensive Player (IDP) league.
