The best thing about still being involved in fantasy baseball is that it means I am in the playoffs. While I am in many leagues, there are three which I consider the important leagues. I define “important” to mean there is a reasonable buy-in accompanied with it and an even more reasonable first place prize.

IDP is becoming a big part of what we do at Razzball, especially in our new RCL IDP leagues. Background knowledge of players to draft can set you apart and become a deciding factor in weekly wins and losses. I’ve already written a general strategy piece about how and when to draft IDP spots. Also the article emphasized recognizing how your league scores your IDP scoring, that is the most important part of all. But, we haven’t really expressed what individual players to target. If your IDP spots aren’t position specific, I’ll give you a few linebacker names that I really like. If your IDP leagues are position specific, we will dive into a few defensive line and defensive back names as well.

5 NFL Players That Won The Preseason
The preseason is a breeding ground for speculation, but some trends are worth noticing. Some young players looked great and won the preseason by impressing their coaches. This article will discuss the players whose outlooks have changed the most due to their preseason performance. Moving up due to injury will not be covered here.
DeShone Kizer CLE
Kizer has made some rookie mistakes because he is a rookie. At the same time he is the most promising young quarterback to don a Browns jersey in a long time. Kizer shows poise and the ability to make every throw. He has earned the right to start week 1 for the Browns. He is not in the starting discussion for fantasy right now. That could change quickly though, as Kizer is a dual threat. I would go so far as to say a late pick is in order rather than just the watch list.
Just when it seemed like the hype could not get bigger for McCaffrey, it did. He has been making big plays all preseason and defenders have no answer for his moves. In very limited action, McCaffrey has racked up 138 total yards and a touchdown. The Panthers finally have another dynamic threat on offense. This should free up Benjamin, Olsen and Cam to make plays as well. More importantly, McCaffrey himself should be a beast in PPR leagues this season. Standard league owners should be a bit more cautious about his ADP.
Chris Carson SEA
This offseason has been a rollercoaster for the Seahawks backfield. It looked like Eddie Lacy was coming to take a lead role, but then he was fat and slow. Then it seemed like Rawls might grab the lead, but he tailed off as well. Out of nowhere, Chris Carson has looked like a starting running back though. Carson was drafted in the seventh round (pick 249) but has outplayed the veterans. This could be because he was the only one in danger of being cut, but that hunger translates to the field. He has run for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns while catching 4 passes for 64 yards. His big plays won the preseason for Carson and secured him a roster spot. It will still probably take an injury for Carson to see extended playing time, but remember the name.
Preseason Week 3 Fantasy Impact
DeVante Parker MIA
For the last two seasons experts and fans have been predicting a DeVante Parker breakout. He has had some very big games, but no sustained success. This year it looks like the Dolphins are committed to utilizing their big deep threat. New quarterback Jay Cutler loves to fling it down field and loves big receivers. These facts play to the strength of Parker, as they have demonstrated this preseason. Now there is talk that the Dolphins are looking to trade Jarvis Landry as well. Parker’s ADP has come up by about two full rounds and he could be poised for his big breakout.
Cooper Kupp LAR
The Rams have greatly improved their receiving corps this offseason. They acquired stud wideout Sammy Watkins from the Bills and also drafted a budding star in Kupp. In two preseason games, Kupp was often the first read for Jared Goff. He caught 8 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown and secured the starting slot receiver spot. A minor groin injury has caused the Rams to hold Kupp out until the regular season starts. Still, he looks like a PPR stud right away. He is going to see a lot of open looks playing opposite Watkins. If Goff can get him the ball it will be a solid rookie year for Kupp.

We feel we are the best in-season fantasy baseball subscription service for both season-long and DFS. It is possible that our ethos of ‘We give advice for free, avoid massive cost outlays for fancy software, and ensure our collective investment (our time, your money) goes towards creating/maintaining the best projections and powerful but simple tools’ is not for everyone. So be it.
Getting to where we are in MLB was not easy, it did not happen overnight, and it never would have happened without the feedback and support of everyone at Razzball Nation (I know that sounds like standard BS but loyal readers know Streamonator was a commenter idea – I just executed and iterated on it.).
It was about 15 months ago that Grey and I decided to invest in building the best fantasy football subscription service. We knew it would be a massive learning curve and that there are some great, established players in this space. While I imagine we will be even better 12 months from now than we are today, I highly suggest jumping on board for 2017 because things are looking really good and we need the support to justify continued investment.

| 2016 Accuracy | Rank | QB | RB | WR | TE | K | DST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Rankings | 9 | 31 | 5 | 27 | 40 | 9 | 4 |
| Draft Rankings | 3 | 66 | 10 | 7 | 23 | 66 | 112 |
Readers have already started clamoring for Week 1 Rankings, and I understand. While I generally choose this week/weekend to do the bulk of my drafting (spots are still open in our free-to-play RCL League!), just because I haven’t drafted much yet doesn’t mean you haven’t… And plus, clamoring has the word “clam” in it and I love clam chowder. You can take that two ways, and I’m pretty sure both of them are sexual. So there. And yeah, in case anyone was wondering, our Draft Rankings are pretty legit (L-E-G-I-T, because you need to spell it for extra legitimacy) as you can see above, but so are our Weekly Rankings.
I’ll be releasing an updated Week 1 Rankings post during my normal slot (hehe, slot) next week on Thursday, however, I do recognize that there are those of you out there ready to get their Week 1 lineups up and running. So for those of you already in season-mode, here are my Way-too-Early Week 1 Rankings for the 2017 Fantasy Football Season!

I’d give the skin off my balls for 20 minutes of slumber, but you know what, upsetting sweet Jay by not having a post submitted today would latch a gonorrhea burn to my soul for the remainder of my days on planet earth, and that’s something I’d prefer not to live with. Let’s proceed, shall we, aaaaaahkay!

Hey guys, we are only a few weeks away from real football! Football that actually counts! Holy moly! I’ve been a bit tied up these past few weeks, and haven’t been able to finish my division previews (thanks a lot Sammy Watkins, Ezekeiel Elliot, Julian Edelman and Spencer Ware). So let’s do that, with the final two coming in the AFC West and South. So for today, let’s look at the AFC South!
