The DFF Devy Manual: Part 1
Devy leagues by nature are dynasty leagues. A dynasty league is defined as rosters being constant year over year, with an annual draft for incoming rookies. While a devy league will have annual drafts, once you have a devy player, they are automatically transferred to your roster. This excludes them from the annual draft.

Devy Profile: Kenneth Gainwell
The Memphis Tigers have produced some very dynamic players over the last three years. Darrell Henderson, Tony Pollard, and Antonio Gibson are in the NFL with the potential to be home-run threats for their teams at the running back position. The most potential impactful player at the next level from Memphis is eligible for the NFL Draft after the 2021 season. His name is Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell is 5’11” 191 and a former three-star recruit. Gainwell was a wildcat quarterback in high school and rushed for 4,730 yards on 501 attempts. He was recruited by Arkansas State, Idaho, Ole Miss, and Tulane. Ultimately, Gainwell decided to play for the Memphis Tigers. He started his career at Memphis with a few carries but was ultimately red-shirted as a freshman.

Future Star: Jaylen Waddle
One receiver that is not always mentioned but has the potential to be a first-round talent when he declares is Jaylen Waddle. Below will show why he should be highly valued in devy drafts and why he can be a valued asset when he makes it to the NFL. A four-star recruit from Episcopal in Bellaire, Texas. Waddle stands at 5’10 183 pounds. Waddle has two years of production going into his Junior year. He has appeared in 28 games, racking up 78 receptions for 1408 yards and 13 touchdowns.

ACC Devy Spotlight: Javian Hawkins
In the next few years, some very talented running backs will be declaring for the NFL Draft. When they declare, it is anyone’s guess with everything up in the air during the worldwide pandemic. While players like Chubba Hubbard, Travis Etienne, and others get the spotlight because of their talents, other talented running backs remain under the radar. This ACC Devy Spotlight will turn the focus on Louisville running back Javian Hawkins.

Big 12 Spotlight: Pooka Williams Jr.
Pooka’s ability to create yards after the catch will be why he continues to rise up the rankings. Don’t sleep on this kid to be an early to mid-round pick in the NFL Draft when he decides to declare. Williams could prove to be worth rostering in devy and dynasty leagues because of the electric plays he can create. With a loaded 2021 running back class, Williams should be considered a sleeper if he declares. If he chooses to stay one more year, Pooka Williams could have a bigger spotlight in the 2022 NFL Draft and is someone to keep an eye on as his career continues.

Devy Prospects: Big Shoes to Fill on Campus
Every year top college players graduate, move to the NFL, and transfer. In their wake, they leave a spot behind on their former team for new players to step in and shine. So, here are some players to watch for the (potential at this point) 2020 college football season. The four guys mentioned below have a gift-wrapped opportunity to increase their draft stock and devy prospects.

2020 College Football Transfer Portal
D’Eriq King accounted for a combined 50 TDs in 2018. In his last full season in Houston, he also threw only six INTs: only 1.7% of his total attempts. King shut his season down after Houston started 1-3 which made him eligible immediately in the 2020 transfer portal. Standing at 5’11” and 195 lbs. King has a build that will make NFL teams hesitant to draft him as a franchise quarterback. However, a strong season in Miami could sway his value significantly at the next level. King also has the athleticism to play in an offensive threat position this year at Miami and progress as a slot receiver or running back at the NFL level like Randall Cobb or Antwaan Randle El.

A First Look: 2023 Running Backs Part 2
In the first part of this first look at the 2023 running backs, I briefly broke down my top five running backs in the incoming freshman class. Depending on the number of devy prospects owned in your league, there’s a great chance that all five of those backs will be selected in your drafts. This next group of five will likely only be taken in deeper leagues, if at all.

With devy drafts coming up, we are going to explore the players with the highest ceilings, floors, and some dark horses who could make a difference on dynasty fantasy teams in the upcoming years. Whether you are in rebuild mode or a strong contender, if you plan on using your devy draft picks then your strategy is relatively the same. Always take the best player available, always take a sure thing over a wildcard, and always stay up to date with the DFF Devy Team.

A First Look: 2023 Running Backs Part 1
Drafting a freshman running back is a mixed bag, but when they hit, it can position a team very nicely for the future (see 2017 recruiting class). The incoming freshman class has a few guys who I’m willing to take a chance on.

IDP Devy Rankings Top 25
#1 JR, LB, Micah Parsons, Penn State
Parsons led the team in tackles as a true freshman (82) and wasn’t a full-time starter. A year later he was that starter and led the team again (109) while becoming a complete impact linebacker.

Buy Low Devy Quarterbacks
The science of drafting QBs by NFL teams is suspect at best, thus identifying successful QB prospects has even more difficulties. Even the art of selecting and developing quarterback prospects are questionable to the naked eye. Here we will try to identify quarterback prospects who have gigantic potential returns that are still readily available, across devy fantasy leagues.

The Best Wide Receiver in College Football Today
There are a lot of great wide receivers in college football right now, despite losing what has been said as the deepest wide receiver class in recent history this year. Ja’Marr Chase had the best statistical season in 2019, and I don’t think it would be wise to argue that. However, there is someone else who can be a generational talent both in college football and the NFL.

Dynamic Ducks
The Oregon Ducks have one of the best up and coming defenses in college football. Even losing such a high caliber player such as senior linebacker Troy Dye to the NFL Draft, the cupboard is far from bare in Eugene. The Ducks have some super talented young pieces that they will build around and keep them in the hunt, for not only a PAC-12 Championship each year but a BCS Playoff spot as well. Let’s take a look at the stars that will carry this team over the next two to three years.

A First Look: 2023 Quarterbacks
Every year, recruits enter the college game and our devy radar. While it is risky to select a player before seeing them on a college field, it’s super satisfying owning someone as a freshman, then watching that player score points for you on Sundays. Other positions are different, but when I see “it” in a high school quarterback, I don’t hesitate to select said player in my devy drafts. Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, two of the highest-rated recruits in 24/7 history, still fell in devy drafts due to their age despite showing “it”.

Travis Etienne Prospect Deep Dive
One of the biggest surprises of this past January in the devy community was Travis Etienne’s decision to return to school. It is obviously a shock to many that a running back as accomplished as Etienne would make the announcement that he was returning to Clemson for his senior year. With this decision, however, Travis Etienne re-enters the devy pool and is definitely someone we should all be intimately familiar with by the time the 2021 NFL Draft rolls around next April.
