Case Keenum and Denver: A Marriage of Convenience?

One of the many breaking free agency news bytes on Tuesday was the Denver Broncos deciding to sign [profiler]Case Keenum[/profiler] after it was apparent Kirk Cousins had no intentions of moving West. A brief perusing of Broncos’ Twitter shows mixed feelings (at best) about the signing. While Keenum wouldn’t have been my first choice at QB if I

Royce Freeman: Late 1st Rookie Steal

Royce Freeman is getting no love this draft season. In DFFs February mock drafts (start 1 QB mocks) Freeman checks in as the 19th player off the board. Even before an excellent combine, I’m shocked that fantasy owners could honestly say there are 18 players they’d rather have in this case before Freeman. Freeman doesn’t

Rosters to Target for Instant Fantasy Impact: AFC West

AFC West Denver Broncos Position looking for instant impact: Tight End Why this Roster? Though the Broncos just added [profiler]Jake Butt[/profiler] to the roster in last year’s NFL draft, not much capital was expended to select him in the 5th round. Coming out of college, Butt was considered a poor blocker, both in the run and pass game

Shining Bright in New Scenery

Just like Motley Crue, I consider myself a dreamer. I often think about the best and worst-case scenarios. The latest topic occupying my thoughts is where some of this year’s free-agents could land and how changes to current rosters could affect the existing players on those rosters. Dynasty football is about constant change. You need to

Predicting Top 24 WR repeats: Hits and Misses Part 1

Dynasty Trading Post: You Got What I Need

Post Hype Buys: Tarik Cohen

  I made an amazing discovery while using the RotoViz Game Splits App. It appears that when [profiler]Tarik Cohen’s[/profiler] usage increases so does his productivity. Wow, mind blown! In games where Cohen had 5 or more receptions, he scored 13.3 fantasy points per game. In games with less than 5 receptions, he only scored 5.56 per game. Wait,
