Year in, year out we get overly hyped for the new crop of rookies coming into the league. We completely immerse ourselves in the process that is the NFL Draft. There is just something about an incoming rookie class that gets our juices flowing. We get so intoxicated by the newness, the boundless potential, and […]

I’m no fan of the Cleveland Browns. From their awful-color uniforms to their lackluster announcement of a uniform change a few years ago when they went from orange-orange to orange-red, to their horrid draft decisions over the last decade or so, I’m just never going to be able to get behind the Dawg Pound. That

[profiler]Austin Seferian-Jenkins[/profiler] (ASJ) has a new home. The talented, but troubled TE has signed a two-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars worth $10 million. ASJ has a well-documented past with substance abuse and off the field concerns. I am confident the former 2nd round draft pick has turned a corner both in his personal life and

I’ve been told that Rashaad Penny is the second best running back in this draft class. While I disagree with that statement, after watching his game clips, I came away impressed with the talented running back. Measurements 5’11”, 220-pounds Body Mass Index: 30.7 (57TH-percentile) Arms: 31 ¼” Hands: 9 ¼” Posting a stellar 4.46 40-Yard

New GM Brian Gutekunst wasted no time making his mark on the Packers roster. Signing FA Tight end [profiler]Jimmy Graham[/profiler] to a three year $30 million deal is a move that signals a sea change for the historically conservative Packers. To facilitate this deal, they also parted ways with long-time Aaron Rodgers favorite [profiler]Jordy Nelson[/profiler].

After giving you a couple of days to digest our first two rounds, it’s now time to share the final two rounds with you. Part of what makes Superflex leagues so much fun is that the additional QB you should be starting helps push talent later into the drafts, both startup, and rookie. Let’s take

With the NFL Scouting Combine in the books and the NFL Draft on its way, the fantasy buzz around NFL prospects and upcoming rookie drafts is reaching its annual high. As good dynasty owners (which you probably are since you are reading articles in the offseason) we should be looking to identify value opportunities. It’s

When it comes to the NFL free agency, most fantasy football players take notice when a starting quarterback like Kirk Cousins changes teams or a wide receiver like Allen Robinson is on the move. That’s great for most fantasy players, but you want to better than most. To do that, you’ll need to find out

It’s hard to not get excited about the signing of [profiler]Allen Robinson[/profiler]; this is huge for the Bears. They’ve given Allen Robinson forty-two million reasons to be a part of this young nucleus. Chicago is a young offensive team. I don’t see any reason this wouldn’t help second-year Mitch Trubisky take the next step in
Allen Robinson and Trey Burton to the Bears, Oh my! Read More »
One of the most intriguing prospects in the 2018 running back draft class is Kalen Ballage out of Arizona State University (ASU). Many have compared his ceiling to David Johnson and others see his floor as David Cobb. While watching his clips and jotting down my thoughts, I think it’s more likely the latter. Measurements

The Crow flies to New York! Heading into the 2017 season, Crowell was possibly the most hyped ‘under the radar RB1’ in the league, so much so that he found his ADP rise to the 2-3 turn. Anyone who paid this price for Crowell was left severely disappointed after he trundled his way to an

With the NFL combine behind us, another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. We now have combine results to partner with tape and college production to help hone our outlooks on the incoming rookie class. With combine data in tow, DFF decided it was a good time to mock yet again. So that’s

On a day of Free Agency such as this, the move that the Cardinals made for Sam Bradford flew under the radar. This is probably for good reason. [profiler]Sam Bradford[/profiler] has once again cashed in by coming away with a one-year, $20 million deal ($15 million of which is guaranteed). It is abundantly clear that the

With Allen Robinson to the Bears and Sammy Watkins to the Chiefs, all the interest has focused on the Bears and Chiefs. Bye, Bye Sammy You would think losing Sammy Watkins would leave an impact with a crater-like hole to fill. We all know Watkins had a down year, so there is not much to

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

The fourth overall pick in 2014, wide receiver [profiler]Sammy Watkins[/profiler] is now on his third team over the course of his five-year career. Despite his impressive play during his first two seasons, the Bills decided to move on last year, trading Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately, he failed to make a significant impact

Yesterday, the news broke that Jimmy Graham is joining Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. My phone immediately blew up, between friends discussing it in group chats and our group DM for the Redraft Team here at DFF. There’s a wide-range of reactions from a fantasy perspective, so I figured I’d do a little digging. Where

The DFF Degenerates Roundtable (@DFF_Degenerates) talk candidly about the good and bad results of the 2018 NFL Combine. Risers: Were there

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
