Carlos Hyde: As Good As It Gets?

Devonta Freeman: Shift to Neutral

Is Dorial Green-Beckham the Next Cordarrelle Patterson?

Looking back at recent NFL Draft classes in the projection model is a hobby of mine. Where were the caution flags? Where did we need to take a stand? One thing about the 2013 wide receiver class was the questionable scores of Tavon Austin, Cordarrelle Patterson, ...

Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin, and Oversized Rookie Receivers

From 1999 to 2014, there are 22 drafted wide receivers in my database that were drafted by the NFL and weighted at least 225 pounds in the pre-draft process. Why 225 Pounds? That weight is the threshold to be in the top-20% of the entire wide receiver ...

The Power of Cascading Dynasty Trades

Sammy Watkins: Living In the Shadows?

Bishop Sankey: Projection Model Second Take

Quincy Enunwa: Prototypical Stash Player
