2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Running Back Tiered Rankings

Earlier, I began my tiered analysis of prospective NFL rookies with a look at the quarterback draft class. In this space, I will break down each tier of my rookie rankings by position, continuing with running backs. With a class a deep as this, tier breakdowns are critical for identifying value in dynasty drafts. But... Read More

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Wide Receivers (Part 2)

Part one of my 2018 NFL Draft Wide Receivers preview featured six of the wide receivers projected to be drafted early, however much of the excitement for this draft class is in the depth. Once again, we'll be primarily using the regression tree created by Kevin Cole to examine the production of the prospects with success being... Read More

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Running Backs (Part 2)

In Part One for RBs, I highlighted six running backs (actually seven, but Bryce Love decided to pull a surprise return to school) who have the potential to be drafted highly in the upcoming NFL Draft, but my general takeaway from this class is the depth. This class goes about 16 to 20 deep with players who could... Read More

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Quarterbacks (Part 2)

Part one of my 2018 NFL Draft quarterbacks preview featured the five most exciting quarterbacks from this upcoming NFL draft, but this class does have a bit of depth so this is part two of my QB breakdowns.

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Tight Ends

Today we'll continue to evaluate the 2018 NFL draft class by taking a look at the tight end position. Typically, tight ends take a little extra time to develop into contributing members of the offense, but 2017 proved that some can make an immediate impact. While this class has some high-caliber talent, the expectation should... Read More

#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review

I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade.... Read More

Week 17 Dynasty Mailbag Q&A

For most fantasy leagues, Week 16 is championship week so for those that were victorious, congratulations. For those that did not win their dynasty league’s championship, this is a great time to evaluate your own roster heading into the offseason. Determining your roster’s own strengths and weaknesses is a must for dynasty teams as the... Read More

Week 16 Dynasty Matchup Analysis

Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I... Read More

Futures Market - Dynasty League Quarterbacks

This year was extraordinarily brutal for quarterbacks in the NFL. Andrew Luck never played a snap. Ryan Tannehill was lost in the preseason. Sam Bradford was gone after Week 1. Almost every week, it seemed like a starting quarterback with significant fantasy value was lost. Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer, Deshaun Watson all were put on... Read More

Futures Market - Dynasty League Wide Receivers

Last week, we looked at running backs in dynasty leagues. This time around, we try and decipher the wide receiver position. Unlike those in the backfield, those on the outside can rise and fade quickly like the tides. Two years ago, Randall Cobb had a third-round ADP and was a keeper for many fantasy owners. This...

#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 15

As an owner in a dynasty fantasy football league, one of the most difficult things to gauge is a player’s status with their team. In dynasty leagues, you are investing in a player long term without any say in where they may be playing during that time. Especially with how injuries continue to become a... Read More

Don't You Forget About Me - Dynasty Injury Targets

If you’ve watched “The Breakfast Club” you know how the final scene goes. The day is over, the kids get in their cars and drive off.

Futures Market - Dynasty League Running Backs

While many make preparations for the fantasy football playoffs, there is a much more complicated process going on in the minds of many fantasy players--who to designate as keepers in dynasty leagues. Some will attempt to formulate some sort of algorithm including age, stats, family medical history and diet while cross-referencing their Madden ratings. Others will... Read More

#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 14

I would like to take a second and welcome you to the all tight end edition of #TrendingNow. If your name isn’t Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce or Zach Ertz, you can sometimes be overlooked at the position. Most fantasy football owners don’t play TE premium leagues (leagues in which TEs score more than other players)... Read More

Arizona Cardinals - A Team to Buy Into for Dynasty Leagues?

If you play fantasy football and owned David Johnson at the beginning of this season, you were very disappointed when he went down with a season-ending injury (COME ON ARIZONA DO NOT ACTUALLY RISK PLAYING HIM AT THE END OF THIS YEAR!). Ditto for when Carson Palmer went down. The Arizona Cardinals were a team... Read More

Dynasty League Buy, Sell - Rookie Round Up for Week 11

Each week, I'll take a look at how NFL rookies are performing from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. Last week, I ran through the rookies and made a buy or sell recommendation for each.
