Honored to be part of @FantasyIndex Fantasy Baseball Magazine. First time seeing my writing in print. Thanks to @ToddZola. Pete Crow-Armstrong vs James Wood vs Roman Anthony: Who is your favorite at cost?

Will the Bills change their tune or stay par for the course? Read Ian Allan’s full article 🔗 fantasyindex.com/2026/01/29/aro…

The Bills are going with Joe Brady as their head coach. So take that as a sign that their offense won’t be dramatically different. They’re the only team, in fact, that’s scored more TDs rushing than passing in each of the last two seasons.

Will McDaniel push the Chargers offense forward? Read Ian Allan’s full article 🔗 fantasyindex.com/2026/01/28/aro…

Since 2023, Miami’s running backs (and that position only – no QBs or WRs) have averaged 109 rushing yards per game at 4.8 per carry, with 49 TD runs in those 51 games. Since 2023, only Detroit, Atlanta, and Baltimore have gotten more rushing yards out of the RB position.

One of the decisions the new Falcons braintrust will have to make is on Kyle Pitts. He's frequently been a disappointment since being drafted with the earliest pick ever used on a tight end. But not in 2025. Will the Falcons franchise tag Pitts?

The Seahawks and Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl, and they’ll do so with two of the most improved running games in the league. Only four teams averaged over 35 more rushing yards in the second half of the season, and two of them are these Super Bowl teams.

See how Stafford compares to other 35+ year-old QBs. Read Andy Richardson’s full article 🔗 fantasyindex.com/2026/01/27/fac…

Looking at the league since 1990, and how QBs fared once they'd reached the age of 35. There have been 39 top-12 seasons (1 point for every 20 passing and 10 rushing yards, 4-point TD passes) by QBs aged 35+ in the last 20 years. Matthew Stafford slots in as the 6th best.

If Jaxon Smith-Njigba can come up with 35 yards in Santa Clara, he’ll become just the third receiver ever to go over 2,000 receiving yards in a season (that’s combined regular season and the playoffs). Only 20 receivers have reached 1,800 yards (including postseason games).

In the regular season, 49 running backs carried the ball at least 100 times. Only six of those running backs averaged more yards per attempt than J.K. Dobbins, while only seven averaged fewer yards per carry than RJ Harvey. Dobbins is back. How will he do this weekend?

C.J. Stroud finished the postseason with a passer rating of only 51.8. In the 32-team era, there have been 164 quarterbacks who’ve started at least two games in a postseason. Only two of those guys (Joe Flacco as a rookie and as a 2nd-year QB) finished with lower passer ratings.

Since entering the league, Shaheed has averaged 7.4 yards on running plays. That’s No. 3 among wide receivers with at least 20 carries. Read Ian Allan’s full article 🔗 fantasyindex.com/2026/01/20/aro…

Rashid Shaheed has been useful on end-arounds. He had a 30-yard run on Saturday, and he flipped the earlier Rams game by following up his 58-yard punt return with a 31-yard run on the next play. In 10 games with Seattle, he’s had 3 other runs that have gone for 9-10 yards.
