Devy Analysis
“Only 5 when he left Liberia, Car only remembers what his mother, Oretha, told him. How he ran away from his father, who had custody and lived on the streets for a month before being reunited with his mother. How he, his mother and younger sister, Blessing, lived in tents in an immigration camp as the […]
Last summer I took a look at the 2017 crop of incoming college receivers and attempted to project which of them had the best opportunities to “breakout” as true freshmen. I based my projections primarily on vacated production, offensive situation, and talent. You can view last year’s article here. Of the five freshman breakouts I […]
I have the privilege of studying a lot of prospects with very diverse and unique backgrounds. Very few of them are as interesting to me as Antonio Gandy-Golden is. The junior wide receiver took a very unique route to Liberty University. Originally from Chicago, AGG started learning gymnastics as a four-year-old. By age seven, he […]
How beneficial is it to save auction $ for Devy players rather than using it during the rookie draft? (@dynastyfballer) Since your rookie draft is already depleted by the number of Devy players rostered, I would spend the majority of my auction money on Devy players. Sure, it’s riskier, but that’s part of the fun. […]
Spring ball has wrapped up and we now have more clarity surrounding many teams’ depth charts. As such, we’ve put together these rankings that are for .5 PPR and 4 points for passing TDs. We took very different approaches to predict certain depth charts. While Kyle has intentionally omitted several potential high-value players (Ex: No […]
PROFILE TRAVIS ETIENNE, RB 5’10” 200lbs Sophomore College: Clemson Hometown: Jennings, Louisiana High School: Jennings High School BACKGROUND: It’s hard not to notice the big smile coming from Travis Etienne. Yes, the braces may stand out, but the smile provides a glimpse of who Etienne is off the field, a positive and happy guy. […]
It’s that time of year again, where everybody resets after the Draft is over and begins work for the next year. I’ve spent some time watching the running backs for next year’s draft and while I do not think there are any guys who come into the Saquon Barkley-Derrius Guice level of elite (just yet […]
In 2016, Shea Patterson enrolled at Ole Miss as one of two 5-star QBs in his recruiting class. He sat and watched as Chad Kelly ran the offense. The plan was for Patterson to take a redshirt season, but everything changed when Kelly went down with a torn ACL and lateral meniscus in the ninth […]
PROFILE TAMORRION TERRY, WR 6’4” 196lbs College: FSU Hometown: Ashburn, Ga. High School: Turner County Redshirt Freshman BACKGROUND A four-star WR by 247Sports and ESPN, Tamorrian Terry has caught at least one touchdown pass each practice this spring according to first-year HC Willie Taggart. A product out of Turner County High School in Ashburn, Georgia, Terry posted […]
After months of writing about the most well-known college football players and the NFL’s newest rookies, it was past time to get back to what initially drew me to writing about Devy. Finding the unknown guys. Several months ago, I jotted down a name so I wouldn’t forget it. Alex Thomson. Now that the Devy […]
It’s never too early to look ahead to next year’s draft. The 2018 NFL Draft just finished and the evaluation process for the 2019 NFL Draft is just beginning. A few names have been floated around by the likes of Matt Miller, Mel Kiper, and Adam Schefter but that isn’t enough! Here I will be […]
Throughout last season I did a projected futures piece to help owners better understand the outlook for future classes. For dynasty owners, it is a tool to gauge who they would be trading away or who they would be trading for when dealing future rookie picks. For Devy owners, it is a tool to place […]
From writing mock drafts on a napkin at dinner to emailing my rankings to friends, it doesn’t even matter, I’ve always wanted to share my passion for evaluation and understand it better. The past five years I’ve been attempting to master a new way of ranking NFL Draft prospects and find a way to quantify […]
Pick your flavor. That’s essentially what this WR class has to offer. Full of dynamic slot types, perimeter red-zone targets, and a few core all-around prospects, this pass-catching group is unlike any I have seen. The deepest I’ve scouted, possibly of any position since I started scouting, this squad of wideouts doesn’t have a star […]
The 2018 NFL Draft is coming up fast, but the wait leading up to it seems to drag on for forever. With so many rumors swirling around it’s hard to know what’s going to happen. This my best guess at what we will see unfold in the first two rounds. I project trades and gives […]
The NFL Draft is quickly approaching! The IDP department is breaking down each team, post-free agency and what they should look to address in the draft. Cleveland Browns Draft Needs – CB, DE, & S The Browns addressed defense twice in the 1st round last season with [profiler]Myles Garrett[/profiler] and [profiler]Jabrill Peppers[/profiler]. They need some […]
Quarterback Few positions have been as disappointing as the LSU QBs over the past decade. History tells me to skip this section altogether and get right to the RBs and the defense. Instead of using a bunch of my own words, I’m going to borrow from Billy Gomila from And The Valley Shook: “In the […]
TaQuon Marshall had one of the most impressive season-opening performances in 2017. He ran for 44-249-5 against Tennessee. He had five other games where he had 20+ carries and finished as the overall CFF QB21. The main area where Marshall will need to improve his game is as a passer. Being an effective runner is […]
Welcome to our 2018 NFL Mock Draft! We have joined together with writers from a handful of other fantasy sports websites to preview the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, from the viewpoint of how these picks will affect Fantasy Football owners. The mock draft is a slow draft, and we’ll be updating all […]
Alabama has a QB controversy. Life is funny sometimes. If Tua Tagovailoa wouldn’t have gotten an opportunity in the CFP Final against Georgia, there may not be a controversy. The fact that he came in the game and made a play so incredible that it would have been too far-fetched for movies really opened the […]
Jaelon Acklin may not be on everyone’s radar this draft season, but I am going to do my best to convince you to get him on yours. With a background in basketball, track & field, and obviously football, Jaelon Acklin has earned all-state honors in three different disciplines over three years. He received all-state honors […]
Quarterback Georgia has a pretty good problem on their hands at QB. Which future NFL QB should they start? Similar to [profiler]Nick Chubb[/profiler] or [profiler]Sony Michel[/profiler] debate, this will undoubtedly create some spirited conversations at the barbershop. Jake Fromm took over for an injured Jacob Eason in the opening game, and he never looked back. Fromm completed 62% […]
Joe Moorhead was hired to build on the sturdy foundation that Dan Mullen assembled in Starkville. The offense will look quite different, but many of the current players on the roster should be good fits for the new scheme. Nick Fitzgerald suffered a gruesome ankle injury in last year’s Egg Bowl. He has been limited […]
I have been Raider fan since Marcus Allen “ran” with the night. They were literally my first love. My unwavering allegiance is as sick as it is irrational. I try like hell to not let my heart influence my fantasy brain. Doing an article like is basically just for fun. But it can also be therapeutic. […]
There has been an overhaul of Tennessee football. It seems like ages ago that they were the brunt of every joke for their embarrassing coaching hire process. Overall, I like the hires that they made, but I don’t think they will pay many dividends in 2018. Tyson Helton takes over as offensive coordinator, and […]
