Chris Meaney breaks down red zone targets data so fantasy owners can hit paydirt in the 2018 fantasy football season.

Fantasy Football: Red Zone Touches and Targets - Running Backs The red zone is the area of the field between the 20-yard line and the goal line. It's not generally marked on the field and has no official meaning during play, but that's where the majority of the touchdowns occur. And scoring touchdowns is what it's all about. It's what makes us fantasy players sit on the edge of our seats.It's hard to predict where the touchdowns will come from on a year-to-year basis, but we can get a better understanding when looking…

It's time for everybody's favorite position in fantasy football: the tight end. It's like the catcher position in fantasy baseball. After the first few go off the board on draft day, they are all pretty much the same in terms of production. It's a position I'll never spend an early pick on, nor do I reach to grab one. No pun intended.We've seen fantasy owners in the past spend first- and second-round picks on Rob Gronkowski or Jordan Reed only to be disappointed in the long run, dealing with the headache of wondering if…

Last week we dove into the top 10 fantasy football rookie rankings for 2018. Now it's time to take a look at NFL rookie rankings 11-20. Just like the first version, guys are very likely to hurdle others as battles are won and lost throughout camp and preseason.You'll notice there are more wide receivers in in this range, including a couple tight ends. Keep in mind these are rookie rankings for redraft purposes and most of the wideouts have very little appeal in those types of formats. I've highlighted in the write-ups…

Finally, the dust has settled, and we can start to take an early look at the 2018 fantasy football rookie rankings. Below are the top 10 rookie rankings for redraft purposes in point-per-reception leagues. As we get closer to camp and preseason nears, it's very likely this list changes, so be sure to follow my rankings on FantasyPros, and check back here on Fantrax for updates as we get closer to fantasy football draft season. Also, check back next week, as I'll dive into players 11-20 in the rookie rankings. 1. Saquon…

Fantasy Football: Old Faces, New Places: Wide Receivers Most of the wide receivers below you'll recognize from the 2014 draft class: Sammy Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jordan Matthews, Paul Richardson, Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry, Donte Moncrief, John Brown and Ryan Grant. All of them, including Allen Hurns and Albert Wilson, who were signed in 2014 as undrafted free agents, will put on a new jersey in 2018. For some wide receivers, this will be their third NFL team already due to trades (Watkins, Cooks, and  Matthews).…

Fantasy Football: Old Faces, New Places: Running Backs More than a dozen running backs will put on a new NFL jersey this season, and that's not including the future talent that will be drafted next week. There are still a couple of impactful running backs available on the free agent market, such as DeMarco Murray and the recently released C.J. Anderson to keep an eye on. Some who signed landed in better fantasy football environments, while others are likely to provide a fantasy hit to their stock or new teammates.The…
