Buy, Sell, or Hold: Rookie Running Back Edition
Buy: Anthony McFarland
When a 4-star running back comes into college with 20+ offers, he definitely does not go unnoticed, but due to the laughing stock that was this Maryland football team in 2019, Anthony McFarland seems to be forgotten. McFarland’s data does not pop off the page as he only had two years of experience, but while watching the film he looks to be one of the best backs in this class.

Quarterbacks: Rightfully Untouched by the BMI Hysteria
Historically, there has been a strong narrative in the football community about QB size despite players like Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray balling out on Sundays. The QB size debate begins with how tall a QB is and if it affects their ability to make reads of the defense on passing plays. There has been a lot of discussion around QB hand size and its correlation to QB performance in cold-weather games. Analysts have even studied QB weight and how it translates to their durability in the NFL. So I decided to use my newly released college prospect database and explore BMI and QB performance. Before going any further, there needs to be a brief overview of BMI. BMI compares an individual’s weight to their height and it’s used to describe their level of body fat or thickness. The index was derived from the works of the Belgian thinker, Adolphe Quetelet.

Sophomore Breakout Series: WR
While most look towards the incoming rookie classes, I like to look at players that are already showing signs of production in the league. We’ve all had those rookies that didn’t pan out, and maybe you cut bait on them a little early, only to see them become a valuable asset later on. This series will attempt to identify those players.

2019 Fake Outs
In this piece, I’ll walk you through three “fake-outs.” These are players that broke out or had strong seasons in 2019 that I do not expect to maintain that level of performance going forward. Therefore, you could call each of these guys a dynasty “sell-high.”

Restricted Free Agents: WR Dynasty Sleepers
Free Agency is fun but often the RFA’s are overlooked, not only by NFL teams but by fantasy owners as these situations are fluid and could change the overall perspective and value on these players in a second. The free agent class is very top-heavy and drops off steadily however there is some value in the RFA pool this year that fantasy owners should look to acquire or pickup before their situations get even better.

Best RB Landing Spots
Here, we’re going to look at landing spots. Specifically, what are the best landing spots for a running back in the 2020 NFL Draft, or perhaps for a free agent running back? I’ll be focusing on each team’s current running backs, cap space, and NFL Draft capital.

Worst Landing Spots: WR 2020 NFL Draft
The Bears were the epitome of average in 2019, finishing the season a mediocre 8-8. They had a lot of issues but wide receivers weren’t one of them., As a matter of fact, their issues were more so on the quarterback. Mitch Trubisky is not very good, but his receivers are. Chicago already has plenty of talented young pass-catchers in Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller, and adequate receivers in Taylor Gabriel and Javon Wims.

Connor’s Fantasy Awards
Cornerback is usually the worst defensive position in fantasy football, yet Ryan was the highest-scoring non-linebacker in 2019. As the 8th ranked IDP player according to FantasyPros, Ryan was the only non-linebacker in the top-10. Ryan is also one of only three non-linebackers in the top-20 IDP players this season, both of the others being safeties. If you want to go down to where Humphrey is, you’d have to go all the way down to 51st. In other words, when it comes to cornerbacks, Ryan was in a class of his own this season.

QBs/RBs/TEs To Watch During The Senior Bowl
Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
Yet another example of why players should leave once they have favorable draft capital. At this point last year, Herbert was considered in contention for the first overall pick of the NFL Draft. This year, Herbert’s draft capital is more questionable to an extent, he’s simply not falling outside of the first round. Much like Daniel Jones last year, Herbert is given the opportunity to make a team fall in love with him so much that it vaults his draft capital.

Wide Receivers To Watch During The Senior Bowl
Senior Bowl week is one of the most exciting times of the year. Every year, players take advantage of the opportunity to impress coaches, vaulting themselves up draft boards. Last year, Daniel Jones received rave reviews during the Senior Bowl and David Gettlemen was quoted saying that this was where they really fell in love with him. He was drafted fifth overall.

2020 WR Sleepers
While creating my 2020 WR Model, I found a few under the radar players not getting much love currently, but I believe these players 100% deserve your attention leading up to and after the NFL draft. These players all have elements that both analytic nuts and film grinders should be able to appreciate. They all “broke-out” their sophomore year, and have good traits seen on film. When a player checks both of those boxes, I am officially intrigued. Keep reading to see my breakdowns of these potential sleepers.

The Value of a WR2
My goal for this piece is to lay out my personal experience with building depth at the wide receiver position over the last few seasons. I have come to find that targeting wide receivers who are the second options on certain teams have allowed me to bank up significant depth and afforded me opportunities to make moves for other positions.

Don’t You Forget About Me
In this article, I’m going to walk you through three players that had a down season in 2019, but who I expect to either bounce back or breakout in 2020. For variety’s sake, I’ve decided to look at a running back, wide receiver, and tight end. Also, I’ve picked three very different types of players to explore the different ways to buy at this time in the offseason.

Tee Higgins Declares For The 2020 NFL Draft
Heading into the 2020 National Championship game, many of the players we wanted to declare did so already. We were just waiting on Chuba Hubbard, Najee Harris, and the guys who were playing in the title game. The 2020 class took major blows when Chuba announced his return to school and reports came out about Najee returning. It recovered in a big way when Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins announced his declaration for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Players To Watch In The Shrine Bowl
This is one of my favorite times of the year for football season. Seeing which prospects will make the jump from college to the pros is always exciting. There are a few all-star games that highlight these events. The biggest of them all is the Senior Bowl. The second biggest is the East-West Shrine Bowl. While this game doesn’t feature a lot of players who become major contributors for our dynasty teams, there have been a few. John Brown, Robby Anderson, and Emmanuel Sanders all appeared in this game. There are a few prospects I will be keeping my eye on this weekend.
