Three Players that Arsenal should SIGN this Summer

by Pranav Mohan, May 3, 2022

Victor Osimhen is a clinical striker and an inside-the-box threat, and he is still only 23 years old. Besides being a good goal scorer, he is also a great ball carrier. He can carry the ball into dangerous locations, and his speed helps him evade defenders. His ball-carrying ability sets him apart from the other attackers in his age category. A striker with excellent physical attributes and goal-scoring ability is what the current Arsenal team is lacking. Osimhen will help them fill that void.

Tino Livramento is just 19 years of age and has already shown signs of being a world-class full-back. The 19-year-old excels in both defending and ball progression. The Englishman is excellent at carrying the ball forward. Besides being good at progressing the ball, he is also good at defending. Any team in the world would be lucky to have him. Arsenal should definitely make a move for him this summer. He will provide them with some much-needed creativity and a high defensive read of the game.

AFC East Divisional Dive

by Jason Allwine, May 2, 2022

With Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley leaving the team, Gabriel Davis will be the only other WR besides Stefon Diggs that was a starter on the offense in 2021. He has a connection with Josh Allen, and it makes sense for the Bills to use him more often than they did last year. He only had a 10.9-percent (No. 87 among qualified wide receivers) Target Share, so that will definitely go up even with the new targets coming to town.

The New York Jets drafted so well that any single weapon will probably have a hard time breaking out next season unless there is an injury. But that is excellent news for Zach Wilson. He will be able to throw to Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, and Denzel Mims. Wilson will also have some pressure taken off of him by a solid run game provided by Breece Hall and Michael Carter. If his potential is truly tapped into, then he will be a very valuable fantasy QB.

2022 NFL Draft Winners

by Shervon Fakhimi, May 2, 2022

Kenny Pickett ultimately got the draft capital and landing spot anybody would’ve wanted from this pedestrian quarterback class. He may not be a fantasy superstar. But he’s going to be the Steelers quarterback of the future, will start games sooner than later, and has a superb cast of weapons. He’s going to be fantasy relevant soon. Even if it’s without as juicy a ceiling as most other first-round quarterback prospects.

Rashod Bateman gave a glimpse of his brilliance during his rookie season, and it was enough for the Ravens to not only trade Hollywood Brown, but NOT bring in another receiver during the draft. Bateman was as stellar a draft prospect as anybody in last year’s stacked class and now has the chance to show it. There might not have been a bigger winner from the draft weekend.

2022 Fantasy Football Free Agency Impact Guide (Updated 5/2/22)

by Jonathan Lange, May 2, 2022

It’s officially March Madness, NFL Style! On March 14th, we saw a two-day window open where teams could contact players. And we instantly saw fireworks with monumental contracts firing off left and right. We wanted to take a closer look at the free agency acquisitions that affect fantasy football the most, and what they mean for your best ball, redraft, and dynasty teams in the future! So without further adieu, here is the 2022 Fantasy Football Free Agency Impact Guide.

The Miami Dolphins broke the ice on the running back market, signing Chase Edmonds. Schematically, it has all the look of a smash selection. And even if they sign or draft another RB, his 13.8-percent (No. 8 among qualified running backs) Target Share proves he’s among the premier pass catching backs in the NFL. Edmonds remains a great RB to target in fantasy drafts.

2022 NFL Draft – Pre-Draft Dynasty Landmines

by Theo Gremminger, April 28, 2022

Devin Singletary played the best football of his career down the stretch and into the playoffs as Buffalo made their run to the AFC title game. But this offseason, they attempted to sign J.D. McKissic. They did add Duke Johnson. But as it stands, Singletary is the primary back in one of the NFL’s better offenses. The Bills have been linked to the draft’s top RB, Breece Hall, with their No. 25 overall pick. This would crush Singletary’s value. The Bills also have picks No. 56 and No. 89, but those two could be less threatening, with Hall and Kenneth Walker most likely off the board.

Rashaad Penny, a former first-round draft pick, played the best football of his injury-plagued career to finish last season. He’s now in a great spot to see a ton of volume in 2022. The offense could struggle. A LOT. But Penny will see all the carries he can handle, especially with Chris Carson’s injury concerns. If he survives the draft, he should rise up redraft ranks and be a cheap source of RB production in dynasty. This could all change if Seattle drafts one of the draft’s top RB prospects at No. 38 or No. 39.

Rookie Draft Strategy – The RB Rounds

by Paul Patterson, April 27, 2022

You’ll likely find yourself on the clock in the third, fourth, and sometimes fifth round of your rookie draft with very few attractive options. Whether it’s bad draft capital, poor athleticism, or uninspiring production, the players here have more red flags than Ron Swanson’s ex-wives. But that doesn’t make the selection pointless. On the contrary, navigating these later rounds (the RB rounds) properly can give you a significant edge over your leaguemates.

Forget trying to find the next Darnell Mooney needle in a haystack of future supermarket employees. Instead, once Round 3 rolls around, just toggle off the other positions and queue up any RB capable of latching onto an NFL depth chart. Remember, your odds of finding the next WR1 or RB1 at the 3.09, 4.05, or 5.11 are exceptionally low, and that’s okay. If you can squeeze three or four games of RB2 production out of a pick that late, you’re doing just fine.

Top 3 Young Premier League Breakout Stars

by Suraj Shivshankar, April 27, 2022

While Jacob Ramsey has a lot of upsides, he can be a little reckless too with his passing. Due to the sheer volume of passes he attempts, he invariably ends up dispossessing often. Overall, he is a wonderful player and you can look forward to more of him next season. It also isn’t long before some top clubs come knocking on Villa’s door inquiring about his availability.

Crystal Palace have a gem of a player in Michael Olise, and under the able guidance of Patrick Vieira, he is will only get better. While a number of top clubs will be interested in his services, Arsenal look to be leading that list. With a release clause of just £35 million, he will be a bargain for the Gunners.

Top 5 Biggest TE Surprises in 2021 – Can They Repeat?

by Jason Allwine, April 26, 2022

Hunter Henry should still finish as a top 10 TE, but did only average 9.7 (No. 15 among qualified tight ends) Fantasy Points Per Game last season. This shows that he will probably be boom or bust, and also TD dependent. But it is Mac Jones second year, and they had a solid connection. So it really depends more on what the Patriots offense looks like next season.

Dalton Schultz is now the clear No. 2 target in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb. Even Ezekiel Elliott is regressing, which should lead to more pass attempts. Schultz already had 104 targets in a year with at least five other receiving threats, so it stands to reason that he should get at least 100 targets again. The Cowboys had the second-most passing yards in the league last season, which is a good sign. As long as the passing attack stays dangerous, Schultz should have another fantastic season.

Allen Lazard: Brick Stacking Alpha

by Justin Richardson, April 25, 2022

The Davante Adams trade rightfully triggered a tsunami of fantasy takes and analysis. Much discussion was centered around Derek Carr and his inability to support Adams at the production-clip we’ve become accustomed to. There was little focus on the fact that Lazard is the heir to the Adams role in the Green Bay offense. You may ask, “What makes you so sure Lazard will be Green Bay’s No. 1 receiving option in 2022?” The addition of Sammy Watkins and lingering likelihood of another WR add via the draft make this a valid question. The simple answer: history, plus the fact that he fits the GB WR1 prototype.

The pre-requisites to become Aaron Rodgers’ top target are straightforward: alpha size, plus-athleticism, and proven NFL-level dependability. Barring a big-time trade for a veteran, the only player that will meet these criteria on the Packers roster in 2022 will be Allen Lazard. The glaring dissimilarity between Jordy Nelson/Davante Adams and Lazard is draft capital. Both were selected in the second round while Lazard went undrafted. Lazard’s closest comp., Marques Colston, proves it’s possible to overcome low draft capital with a similar profile and skillset.
