Devy Analysis
The Linebacker position is the meat and bones of IDP leagues. It’s the position that is a must to keep our teams loaded up year-in and year-out to stay competitive. One way to keep that talent full is hitting on your draft picks. Personally, I like my top 10 a ton! All of them are […]
The Next Great Georgia Running Back? The University of Georgia running back position is seemingly a revolving door of five-star talent. The pool is deep and to quote my buddy @FranchiseKF “You gotta be elite, and Holyfield hasn’t been that yet.” The quote was in reference to why freshman DeAndre Swift saw nearly twice […]
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 […]
Harold Landry | EDGE | 6’3” | 252 | Boston College Intro The 2016 tape of Landry was really something special. You almost want drop a Lawrence Taylor comparison but the words would not quite form in your mouth. Some more realistic comps have surfaced. Bruce Irvin & Tamba Hali seem to be fair especially […]
Ah, the NFL rookie hype train. It is now making its annual journey, chugging through tweets, posts, and podcasts, drumming up discussion and prognostication of eventual superstars and super-flops. Each year before the draft we argue and fight for our guy. Our difference maker, our shining star to hang our wishes on. We shovel the […]
I like this class of cornerbacks. We have some speed guys who can play the game. I have never been one to target this position early as most go in the last round of our rookie drafts. With most leagues that I play in requiring at least two starters and giving more points for tackles, […]
Rookie fever is in full swing, especially in the days and weeks following the NFL combine. Rookie receivers, in particular, have been the focus of dynasty buzz in the past week or so. Some of them significantly supplanted themselves in the discussion for the best receiver in this draft class, while others seemed to hurt […]
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 […]
After every college football season, many players are looking for a change of scenery as they want to transfer out of their current situations. Transferring has become as important to college football as recruiting players out of high school. Except this time, there isn’t a National Signing Day or even a website ranking the top […]
I have a thing for Notre Dame running backs, what can I say? Josh Adams is one of the many gifted running backs in the abundantly talented 2018 draft class that looks to reload fantasy rosters and the NFL with young fresh talent. He was seven yards from setting the single-season rushing record for the […]
Welcome back to the DFF Mock Draft. Rounds 1 and 2 are complete, so let’s move right along with Round 3. 65.Cleveland Browns (James Koutoulas – @DFF_Thebrain) – MJ Stewart, CB, North Carolina- At 6’0 205 pounds, Stewart has good enough size to play either outside or in the slot. With a stout build, Stewart […]
Welcome back to the DFF NFL Mock Draft. With round 1 in the books let’s move on to round 2. Round 2 33. Cleveland Browns(James Koutoulas – @DFF_Thebrain) – Arden Key, Edge, LSU Key has an elite skill set for a pass rusher. Key performed at his best in big games (1.5 sacks and 8 […]
It’s that time of year again, the time where we officially start our preparations as dynasty owners for a new season. The NFL combine brings new faces and shiny new toys that we hope to add to our rosters. It’s an event that most of us will pay close attention to so that we will […]
Fred Warner Linebacker BYU Background Warner is a 6’3″ 227 lb OLB who moves with the speed of a corner! He was a 4-star recruit entering his college career. In 2016 he was “1st team all-Independent status”. This honor was earned for his tough approach to the game which brought him 86 tackles, 10 of […]
Round 1 1. Cleveland Browns (@DFF_Thebrain) – Sam Darnold QB USC- All signs point to the Cleveland Browns taking a signal caller at number 1. Which one is the question? Darnold has high upside, a good attitude and will represent the franchise well. I think these are all things new GM John Dorsey will value. […]
Josey Jewell #43 Iowa 6’2” 236 lbs Senior, Linebacker Introduction If you’re looking for a flashy, big swag type linebacker, then Jewell is not for you. He is a throwback type who just lines ups, reads and goes to make the play. Josey is not going to be one that wows at the combine, but […]
Somewhere in the Multiverse exists a reality where on October 10TH 2015, Nick Chubb cuts it out to the left sideline and his knee doesn’t hyperextend in one of the most gruesome knee injuries you’ll ever see. Chubb’s streak of 14 consecutive games over 100 rushing yards then continues into the future(in contrast, the Kalen […]
With the 2018 college football season fast approaching, it seems like a great time to look for the players that could explode onto the scene and put together monster fantasy seasons. These players all seem to have two qualities in common that often lead to fantasy success: talent and opportunity. For your viewing pleasure, here […]
The success rate on first-round receivers in recent years has been low. Guys like Tavon Austin and Laquon Treadwell, who many believed would become stars, turned out to be massive duds at the next level. I don’t see that same fate for Washington’s Dante Pettis. In a class loaded at the receiver position, Pettis stands […]
I like this class of corners. We have some speed guys who can play the game. I have never been one to target this position early; I typically wait for the last round in my rookie drafts. Most leagues that I play in require at least two defensive back starters and give most points for […]
Top 50 filled with Player Comparisons and Quick-snap Scouting reports…. It’s that time of year again! The playoffs have come and gone which means it is officially draft season. What better way to kick it off then with a Big Board featuring some of your favorite prospects in this class! Minkah Fitzpatrick DB Alabama NFL […]
National Signing Day just passed and we couldn’t think of a better way to deliver you the top incoming freshmen than with a superflex mock draft. Several members of the @DFF_Devy team went 3 rounds, 12 true freshmen per round, to help introduce you to the players who are about to take over college football. […]
As a keen follower of FCS football, I’m a strong believer in the strength of players at this level. Last year I was high on Tarik Cohen (RB @ North Carolina A&T), Cooper Kupp (WR @ Eastern Washington) and Lorenzo Jerome (FS @ St Francis). Each of them made it to the NFL, but Jerome has […]
It’s day four of our National Signing Day Coverage, and today, I’ll cover my top five incoming freshmen tight ends plus one who I think is rated too low. In case you missed it, we’ve already covered QBs, RBs, and WRs this week, and tomorrow, we’ll drop a three-round mock draft consisting of only incoming […]
