From a fantasy perspective, the Minnesota Vikings are projected to be, well, perfect! But in this forum, I will explain why it is smart to lower expectations for the reigning NFC North champions. Projections for the Vikings offense for 2018 are optimistic, but let's analyze just how optimistic. At the quarterback position, we have Kirk Cousins, who without having played a regular season snap in purple and gold, is being drafted as the 7th quarterback off the board. At the wide receiver position, we have Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, being drafted as the 11th and 14th wide receivers respectively. In the backfield, we have Dalvin Cook as the 11th back taken off the board. And to top it all off, Kyle Rudolph is being drafted as the 8th overall tight end. But before I just flat out tell you that it is highly improbable for this to all come to fruition, I will back up my arguments with multiple years of statistics. I'm going to go back 4 years, and see if even the best offenses ...

Rookies are amongst the hardest players to predict during the preseason. These Freshman have never played a snap in the NFL, making it very difficult for analysts to make projections for the regular season. This means that deciding when to select these rookies depends on your assessment of the risk versus the reward. In this forum I will give a analysis of each of the rookie running backs that I believe have a clear path to being fantasy relevant this upcoming season. Saquon Barkley [Can't Trend Any Higher] - The number 2 overall pick out of Penn State has immense potential for opportunity with the New York Giants. The Giants have a revamped offensive line with the additions of Nate Solder, Patrick Omameh, and Will Hernandez. They have a deep passing attack with superstar Odell Beckham flanked by Sterling Shepherd and Evan Engram, and they have a competent quarterback in Eli Manning. Barkley possesses the pass-catching ability that you love to see in a workhorse back; someone wh...

While the first three rounds of your fantasy draft contain the players that will end up scoring the majority of the fantasy points for your team, the most important part of the draft actually occurs after round 8. These late round picks will separate the great teams from the good ones, the teams with upside from the teams that won't score above 100 points all season, and the balanced teams from the unbalanced ones. In today's post, I will detail 2 players that are a great value at their current ADP (average draft position). Both of these players are currently being drafted after the 8th round and should be late round targets in your draft . Kelvin Benjamin (WR - Buffalo Bills) [10.11] Kelvin Benjamin is a former first round draft pick with insane physical ability. Even at 6'5", he still ran a 4.61 second 40 yard dash, proving that he clearly has the physical tools to be successful in the NFL. In his rookie year he put up a solid stat line of 73 receptions for 1...
