Dynasty Bargain Bin: Cameron Brate

Dynasty / By /

Cameron Brate isn’t an exciting player. Cameron Brate isn’t even a starter. He’s like the Toyota Camry of fantasy football players. He isn’t flashy, he isn’t a prized possession, he looks like a lot of other players, and is easily forgotten or mistaken for others. They are typically older, have some miles on them, and aren’t someone’s first choice. No one will ever celebrate getting a Camry. It’s a practical buy for practical people. But just like a Camry, Brate can be reliable.

Pumping The Breaks On Stefon Diggs

Dynasty / By /

Stefon Diggs, formerly part of the third-best WR duo with Adam Thielen and owner of the NFL’s second-best Twitter account (ranking only behind the self-proclaimed Lizard King, Sammy Watkins), has recently been traded. Anyone who watched Vikings games last season could see the frustration that Diggs and Thielen had with Cousins under center in the first few weeks of the season. Sideline blowouts were routine as Cousins checked-down, overthrew, underthrew, or gave himself up. While they seemed to turn it around mid-season, apparently Diggs was determined to still work his way out of town. So he’s packing his bags, moving from a quarterback he saw as unreliable and an offense that was too focused on the run last season, for the Buffalo Bills…? Queue record scratch effect, puzzled looks, cartoon question marks over our collective heads. To me (and most of Twitter), it seems that Diggs could have made out a lot better here. A Victim of Philosophy Diggs was pretty publicly advocating for the Vikings to pass more, utilizing him and Thielen as focal points of the offense. Rightfully so, they are two phenomenal athletes and talents, but so is Dalvin Cook. Zimmer and the Vikings held firm, running the ball 51% of the time. Now on the Bills, Diggs will easily be the WR1, but they are a team that also ran the ball 48% of the time last season. They have an ascending running back in Devin Singletary. They are also widely speculated to either sign a running back or draft one to pair with Singletary. Should

Texans Offense: Gaping Holes and Glaring Opportunity

Dynasty / By /

Without a doubt, the most surprising, perplexing and possibly season altering move was the Texans sending DeAndre Hopkins and a 2020 4th round pick to Arizona for David Johnson, a 2020 2nd round pick and a 4th round pick in 2021. The Texans also agreed to take on all of DJ’s bloated salary, which isn’t much less than Hopkins’.

Digging for Jules: Is Julian Edelman worth a dynasty buy?

Dynasty / By /

We all know the first rule of dynasty strategy. Successful owners find continued success because they are able to thread the needle of turning aging talent into young players and/or rookie picks. Julian Edelman is certainly a name owners are looking to sell as he enters his last year under contract, and possibly the end of his career. If you’re a team in contention, should the first rule apply, or should you be digging for Jules?
