Devy Analysis
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 […]
Background: Tyler Vaughns hails from Pasanda, California and attended Bishop Amat High School. Vaughns graduated from high school in 2016 making him draft eligible in the 2019 class. Rated the second overall wide receiver by the 247.com composite rankings and the 30th overall player. Vaughns picked USC over the likes of Texas A&M, Alabama, and Oklahoma. […]
I took a look at more than 70 RBs from this incoming true freshman class. I chose to use numerical rankings, but several of the players would be interchangeable within the same tier. This is my own version of the Elite 11. 11. Mychale Salahuddin, Undecided, 5’10” 193 (ESPN RB33) Mychale Salahuddin, a one-time USC […]
After watching a good majority of the wide receivers for the 2018 signing class, a few conclusions were met. This class is full of big-bodied wide receivers who can move, a ton of skilled route runners, some true number one types, and a crop of raw players who have the ability to surpass their peers […]
I took a look at more than 40 QBs from this incoming true freshman class. I chose to use numerical rankings, but several of the players would be interchangeable within the same tier. This is my own version of the Elite 11. 11. Quincy Patterson, Virginia Tech, 6’3” 232 (ESPN Athlete 22) Quincy Patterson is […]
I know, I know, it’s way too early for this. I’m fully aware that the Senior Bowl just ended and the combine is still more than three weeks away. I’m a huge proponent of landing spot over talent, and the draft won’t even be finished until late April, but you have to start somewhere, right? […]
It’s that time of year where everything draft hopefuls do, is considered as an audition of some sort. Between Bowl games, all-star games, pro days, private workouts and the combine, players will be scrutinized and run through a gamut of tests, interviews, and drills. So let’s take a look at how some IDPs did at […]
The seventh annual NFLPA Collegiate Bowl took place Saturday and showcased over 100 NFL prospects from all levels of college football. The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl has built a history of sending participants to the NFL. Last year’s game saw 62 players earn an NFL roster spot, of which, 23 were selected during the NFL Draft. […]
In 1935, the 38th President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford played in the 10th East-West Shrine game. Now 2018, the 93rd Shrine game didn’t present a highly regarded player such as a former president, but it did bestow a few talented prospects that could hear their name called during the 2018 NFL Draft. […]
In most annual 2-5 round Devy drafts that are relatively depleted, there aren’t typically a lot of sure-fire choices with great college production in the first round or two. Sometimes there will be a player who wasn’t overly hyped and slipped through the cracks the year before who makes for the obvious first selection. That […]
What better way to kick off 2018 than with an early Devy superflex mock draft? Here are 10 rounds of Devy picks courtesy of the DFF Devy team, Nick Schleter, and Andy Ferris. If you play Devy fantasy football, be sure to give these guys a follow on Twitter. The player’s class is based on […]
The 2nd annual HBCU Spirit of America Bowl treated us to an exciting game over the weekend. The game ended in a wild sequence of possessions that contained a fumble out of the end zone for a touchback, a fumble deep in one team’s own territory and jump ball INT in the end zone to […]
The Sun Belt Conference isn’t exactly known for producing top-end NFL talent, but New Mexico State has a wide receiver that has the size NFL teams dream about. Making national headlines from an insane one-handed touchdown grab against Arizona State, Jaleel Scott has quickly garnered the attention of college football fans and NFL Draft enthusiasts. […]
This past Thursday we were treated to the 11th Annual Under Armour High School All-America Game. This game brings together 100 of the top high school players in the country and, this year, from overseas. As always this year’s crop had a healthy dose of 4 and 5-star recruits. The teams were coached by Steve […]
Every year, I seem to have a “guy” when it comes to the NFL Draft. A prospect who maybe isn’t necessarily the top player, but he excites with enthusiasm, special traits, and a love for the game. A few years ago, this “guy” was Jared Goff. Last year, Jamal Adams. This year’s candidate may just […]
Fred Warner LB BYU / 6’3” / 230 Games Watched: 2016: Arizona, UCLA, Utah 2017: UNLV, Wisconsin The Skinny: Warner is an athletic nuisance for any offense he faces. He has the range to cover players in the slot and drop back into zone coverage. His anticipation skills should transfer for all LB positions and […]
The “Granddaddy of Them All” is back in the College Football Playoff and it has the most interesting matchup of the bowl season. The Oklahoma Sooners from the Big 12 will take on the Georgia Bulldogs from the SEC. This is familiar territory for the Sooners and their star QB, Baker Mayfield. Mayfield previously led […]
The ACC and the SEC collide in a Power 5 matchup at the TaxSlayer Bowl. Louisville, from the ACC, ended the year 4-1 over their final five games to finish the season with an 8-4 record. Their final stretch included wins over three bowl teams in Florida St, Virginia, and Kentucky. They will face off […]
Yesterday we brought you Round 1 of our Superflex rookie mock draft. Today we’ll wrap it up with rounds 2 and 3. 2.01 Auden Tate, WR, Florida State (@FF_EvilEmpire) At 2.01, I couldn’t let Tate slide any further. The 6’5”, 220 lb. Junior is only 20 years old coming out of Florida State. The young […]
