Bio
My name is Ellis Johnson and I am a Canadian fantasy football writer. I have been writing published fantasy articles for six years. I have finished as the #1 ranker twice in the FantasyPros accuracy contest: Week 2 (2024) and Week 3 (2025). I also held the top QB spot over the first 7 weeks of the 2024 season. I have a Kinesiology degree from the University of British Columbia and completed my Master's of Science at the University of Calgary. My Master's examined the intersection of inclusion and masculinity in sports. I strive to apply my perspective and understanding of the sociocultural aspects of sports in my fantasy analysis, delivering statistically detailed player perspectives. #WhoDeyNation Twitter: @YoitsEllis_FF

 | Often confused with decrease, the word regression gets an unfair stigma in fantasy football. Regressing to the mean is another way to say getting closer to the average. If you are below average, that means you can improve towards average … read more » by in FantasyTue, Jul 15 |
