Rookie Roulette - Which WR Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?
With rookie draft season in full swing, you've got some major questions to think about, especially if you're picking early in your league's draft and need to figure out which wide receiver to pick first. The commonly accepted thought on this issue is to take N'Keal Harry first, but D.K. Metcalf s also a player... Read More
Rookie Draft ADP Arbitrage - DK Metcalf vs Mecole Hardman
If you were hoping to grab an elite rookie running back like New York Giants' running back Saquon Barkley last year, there aren't a ton of options. On the flip side, if you're in the market for a wide receiver, there are a number of great young options including D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks... Read More
The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft
We are very used to seeing seasonal one-man mock drafts, which have now been around since the early part of the century. I cannot officially claim to have invented the exercise, but I do not recall anyone else of prominence in our industry issuing them at the time when I published my first one around... Read More

Rookie Roulette - Which TE Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?
Noah Fant, tight end out of Iowa. T.J. Hockenson, tight end out of Iowa. Yes, one of these two former Hawkeyes should be the first tight end taken in rookie drafts this year. While there are some other interesting prospects at the position, your decision if you're in need of a tight end in a... Read More
Gaining the Trust of a Buffalo - Bills Quarterback Josh Allen
Quoting the Montana Bison Association, “You can gain their trust and friendship, but you have not really changed their basic nature----they will always be wild.” No, I’m not calling Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, an animal. I’m figuratively comparing his allure and NFL skills to the nature of this Bovidae. (And for those that say... Read More
Rookie Roulette - Which QB Goes After Kyler Murray in Dynasty Drafts?
Asking the question "which first-year quarterback should go first in rookie drafts" is, basically, a bad question. You don't need to read a 1000 word piece from me about why to pick Kyler Murray over the other quarterbacks in this class. No way. Kyler should be the first quarterback off the board in 100 percent... Read More
Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB is #1 in Rookie Drafts?
This year's rookie class didn't feature an undisputed 1.01 player like 2018 did with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was a unique talent who led to people selling their entire dynasty teams and possibly their firstborn child to draft him. That paid off, but this year doesn't feature someone you should go all... Read More
Let It Go! Players We Need to Finally Drop in Dynasty
If there's one thing I'm guilty of in fantasy football, it's holding onto players in dynasty leagues way, way beyond the point where I should have just dropped them. Sometimes, I'm rewarded by being able to start Wendell Smallwood during a time where the rest of my team is injured, but usually the result is... Read More
Rookie Spotlight - Damien Harris
With the 87th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots took former Alabama running back, Damien Harris. Harris was the second back out of Alabama taken in this year's draft after the Oakland Raiders took Joshua Jacobs in the first round. Harris played all four years and led the team in rushing... Read More
Dynasty Price Check - Mike Gesicki
Last year, the Miami Dolphins spent a second-round pick on Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki. Tight end had long been a rough position for the Dolphins, as the team hasn't had a player at the position hit the 500-yard mark since Charles Clay in 2014, but the move to pick Gesicki seemed like a...

Rookie Spotlight - Devin Singletary
In a rookie class filled with many questionable landing spots, one that has turned out to be fairly exciting is Devin Singletary landing with the Buffalo Bills. In the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Bills selected the electric running back out of FAU. During the off-season, the Bills have put together what... Read More
Damien Williams Is a Must-Draft... and Must-Sell
“You know what? Damien Williams is our starter,” said Chiefs RB coach Eric Bieniemy shortly before fantasy football Twitter burned down. My initial reaction to this: "No kidding, what are your other options?" Regardless, Damien Williams, it's now your turn. I don't just mean it's his chance to earn a starting gig on an NFL...

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Tre'Quan Smith
When it comes to dynasty football leagues you know there is no offseason. Without the in-season worries of lineup setting and setting up waiver wire claims, dynasty league enthusiasts can focus their efforts on making trades to improve their teams and preparing for rookie drafts. Today's column will take a look at New Orleans wide receiver... Read More
Rookie Spotlight - Marquise Brown
With the 25th pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. Brown immediately threatens to be the best wide receiver on the roster. The Ravens' identity has remained unchanged since they started in 1996. They take the ball to the ground to pound you into submission, and... Read More
Dynasty Price Check - Dede Westbrook
Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars were a mess offensively, with the quarterback combination of Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler combining to throw for just 15 touchdowns to go along with 13 interceptions. Bortles, who'd been a guy fantasy owners could count on for solid production in the past, bombed badly enough that the team benched... Read More
Late-Round Dynasty Stashes and Deep Sleepers
One of the most fun parts of being involved in dynasty formats is watching your team evolve year after year. A part of that process is being aware of the landing spots of talented undrafted free agents. Not all the prospects are highly sought after by NFL teams, yet there is still value that tends...

Rookie Spotlight - Juwann Winfree
Denver Broncos GM John Elway certainly doesn’t have the best history of trading up in drafts to get his guy. Just take one look at the now infamous 26th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, where Elway and the Broncos traded up to take the Seahawks’ pick, only to use it on quarterback Paxton... Read More
Dynasty Stock Watch - Tight Ends
The New York Stock Exchange is not the only place where people care a lot about whose stock is skyrocketing and whose is plummeting. The fantasy values of many tight ends have gone up and gone down during this interesting offseason. While nobody’s fantasy stock plunged more than Rob Gronkowski’s after he retired following winning... Read More

Rookie Spotlight - Kelvin Harmon
Prior to the 2019 NFL Draft, wide receiver Kelvin Harmon out of NC State was getting a lot of hype from the dynasty football community. Since falling a fair amount in the draft, the hype has died down some. Harmon even ended up getting drafted after another wide receiver that I like in this year's... Read More

Notable UDFAs to Watch in Dynasty
Last year, no one was talking about Phillip Lindsay even as late as August. With Royce Freeman drafted by the Broncos and dominating a lot of the dynasty rookie draft discussion, Lindsay flew so under the radar that he went undrafted in our staff league's rookie draft. Lindsay went on to rush for 1,000 yards,... Read More
Rookie Spotlight - Mecole Hardman
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman is, perhaps, the most difficult rookie receiver to value right now, because his immediate fantasy potential is almost entirely dependent on whether or not the NFL suspends Tyreek Hill and, if they do, on how long that suspension is. Hardman is an interesting prospect, a speedster who... Read More
Late-Round Rookie RBs to Target in Dynasty Drafts
The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and the preparation for your fantasy football league’s upcoming season should be starting now, not in late August. In standard year-to-year fantasy leagues or keeper leagues where you can only hold onto a minimal amount of players, you are not going to find many late-round rookie running backs on... Read More
Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review
I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after... Read More
Rookie Spotlight - David Montgomery
Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears were limited on the number of draft picks that they had. The team held three picks and while it didn't seem too likely that they would draft a running back, it has been apparent that is a position of need. While Tarik Cohen is an explosive... Read More
