The 2019 NFL draft is now in the books, and that means that the months of speculation can begin! It's also time when we see the biggest changes to a roster, outside of the opening of free agency, so fantasy owners will have a multitude of questions after the draft. In this article, I'm going […]

Which Rookie Wide Receivers Are Worth Our Attention?

With the NFL Draft now come and gone, we go from scouting incoming players for the draft to now determining their values in fantasy football. The crop of receivers in the 2019 class was an intriguing one. With many experts having varying opinions on how to rank this group. If you follow me on Twitter […]

Rookie Spotlight - D.K. Metcalf

The Seahawks appeared to pull off a very nifty move in the 2019 NFL Draft when they traded up to the 64th pick to nab Mississippi WR D.K. Metcalf. Widely regarded as one of the top wideouts available, there was much speculation he would be picked in the first round. When he started to drop […]

Matt Ryan Will Be Better Protected

The Atlanta Falcons made it a priority to get quarterback Matt Ryan some more protection on the offensive line in last week's draft, selecting two offensive linemen in the first round last Thursday after Ryan was sacked 42 times in 2018, the second highest total of his career. Guard Chris Lindstrom was the 14th overall […]

Dynasty Price Check - Marvin Jones

The next edition of Dynasty Price Check moves to Detroit. Kenny Golladay's stock keeps shooting up in dynasty leagues but what about lesser-hyped wideout Marvin Jones? A lost second half due to injury could provide a buy-low opportunity but a sluggish Lions offense may not inspire greater numbers than he has already produced in the […]

Atlanta Takes Kaleb Mcgary At No. 31

The Atlanta Falcons traded up with the Rams and selected Washington offensive tackle Kaleb Mcgary with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Mcgary doesn't have great length but is physical and is just a solid athlete overall. The Falcons really put an emphasis on their offensive line in the first round, […]

Chris Lindstrom Goes To Falcons 14th Overall

The Atlanta Falcons selected Boston College offensive guard Chris Lindstrom with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Lindstrom was extremely durable in college and should bring stability to a Falcons offensive line that has been pretty solid in its own right in the last few years. He played some tackle in […]

Falcons Willing To Trade Up In First Round

The Atlanta Falcons have shown a willingness to trade up into the top 10 picks of the first round on Thursday. The Falcons currently own the No. 14 overall pick in the first round, but they are expected to use one or more of their nine draft picks this year to move up, most likely […]

Early 2019 Breakout Candidates - Wide Receiver

The most dormant weeks of the offseason have passed (thankfully) and the free agency process has produced a steady stream of breaking news and player movement that has altered the fantasy landscape. As the weeks unfold, more changes in destinations and expectations will repeatedly impact the decision-making of owners who manage rosters in Dynasty leagues […]

Keanu Neal Working Out With Teammates

Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal (knee) has been lifting weights with his teammates during the offseason program, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter. There is no timetable for his return from a torn ACL in his knee last year, but he is expected to be ready for Week 1. The Falcons also plan […]

Dynasty Breakouts for 2019 – Running Back

Fantasy football players should never give up on running backs, especially if those backs did not amount to much during their rookie campaigns the year prior. 2018 was the coming out party for three running backs --- Pittsburgh’s James Conner, Seattle’s Chris Carson and Indianapolis’ Marlon Mack. All three were drafted in 2017 but did […]

Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?

This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (April 2019)

All of a sudden, the tight end has become cool in fantasy football. Maybe not all of them, but the position that used to be largely ignored until the middle rounds is now a priority for some. If you managed to nab one of the top three TEs last year, you had a clear advantage […]

If you are a veteran of the Best-Ball format, you know that every possible advantage helps in these early draft days. The NFL Draft is still a week away, so it's important to get an idea of how to value rookies before we know their landing spots if you are in the midst of a […]

Grady Jarrett Not At Offseason Workouts

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett wasn't present for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday. Jarrett had the $15.2 million franchise tag placed on him this offseason, and he's hoping to land a long-term contract extension by the deadline on July 15. Owner Arthur Blank has said that Jarrett will be a […]

Julio Jones Sitting Out Offseason Workouts

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not in attendance for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday, according to a source.

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Carolina Panthers

The 2018 season was a lost one for the Carolina Panthers. It was apparent that Cam Newton was playing hurt towards the end of the season, likely costing this team a shot at the playoffs. The overall numbers were respectable for Newton (3,395 yards and 28 total TD) but during the fantasy playoffs, he disappeared […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Atlanta Falcons

The 2018 Atlanta Falcons were a Jekyll and Hyde team. On offense, they were among the league's best in moving the ball (sixth in total yards) but on defense, they could not stop anyone (25th in 26.4 PPG allowed). Matt Ryan rebounded in a big way from a poor 2017 (4,923 yards with 38 total […]

Julio Jones Not Worried About Contract Situation

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones isn't concerned about his contract situation and isn't publicly lobbying to become the league's highest-paid player at his position. The six-time Pro Bowler doesn't seem pressured to get anything done for the time being, as he has two years and $21.026 million left on the five-year, $71.25 million extension […]
