Nobody can win Fantasy Football It’s hard to win on draft day, but learning to invest in the right teams and players will definitely give you an edge when you start.
Anyone can look at last year’s stats and name players they expect to perform similarly, but smart fantasy managers understand how the right coach can turn even the most basic players into future stars.
If you are one of the people who continues to ignore Alvin Kamara in the draft, you are making a big mistake.
The Saints implemented a new offensive strategy for the first time since 2009.
Sean Payton and Joe Lombardi are in Denver, and offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael has finally joined them.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen, a defensive-minded coach, currently has the offense in the capable hands of Klint Kubiak, one of the NFL’s elite young players.
For years, we’ve watched Clint’s father, Gary Kubiak, team up with offensive line guru Rick Denison to create one of the most aggressive rushing attacks in football.
Together they created an outside zone blocking scheme in which linemen move laterally and push rushing attacks forward up the field past the tackles.
Its success has been incredible, and those involved in fantasy gaming who understood its value have benefited greatly.
When Kubiak and Dennison were together in Denver around the turn of the century, they transformed some of the most random running backs into 1,000-yard rushers.
Players like Orlandis Gary, Mike Anderson and Ruben Drowns have emerged from complete obscurity to lead people to fantasy championships.
Once they moved to Houston, Steve Slaton and Arian Foster became household names and helped propel Dalvin Cook to the top of the charts in 2019.
Do you bet on the NFL?
We know Clint will be doing things his own way in New Orleans, but he hired Denison as a special offensive assistant and together the two have completely rebuilt the Saints rushing attack.
We’ve seen Kamara as a pass-catching player for so many years, we’d forgotten just how explosive a runner he can be, especially when passing to the outside.
His yards per carry average may have dipped over the past three seasons, but with the right blocking strategies and an improved offensive line, he could regain his previous form in 2020.
If you’re concerned about Kamara’s age or injuries, you can — and should — compare him to Kendre Miller and Jamaal Williams.
Again, this is about investing in the system. Miller and Williams may not be household names, but Google Orlandis Gary and then talk to me.
