Editors’ Picks

Have you had enough of touching grass? Ready to watch more than a couple drives with starters? Us too. While we’re waiting a few more Sundays for the real deal, our Fantasy Life Draft Guide, rankings and projections will help with draft prep. And ICYMI, enjoy these articles.

Introducing Receiver Score

If a pass catcher draws on average 18% of targets, what happens to the remaining 82%? That begs a good question, because receivers very well could have gotten open on a good chunk of those routes, just for whatever reason the QB went elsewhere, got sacked or scrambled out of the pocket for a running play. Zain Dhanani aimed to measure those routes to determine a player’s ability. So was born Receiver Score.

Zain then breaks down four WRs to see what their score says about their talent and offensive environment. Keep an eye out for more, because during the season this will become a weekly feature at Fantasy Life. ⤵️

Waiting Game When Drafting From The 1.10

Tom Petty once sang, “the waiting is the hardest part.” True, but it can be worth it. Chris Allen compared drafting from the 1.10 to a long wait where he can either chat up fellow people in line or catch up on an audiobook. You’re not feeling impatient, because something good is coming. That’s the 1.10.

One of the best WRs in the NFL—we could be talking about Justin Jefferson—may just be waiting for you toward the end of Round 1. That’s a pretty good consolation after the RB run we expect earlier. So does this set up for a Zero-RB build? See what Chris has to say in the continuation of his series. ⬇️
