Dynasty Analysis
This article will be a quick stock up/stock down reactions piece for the dynasty value of everyone on the Panthers after they signed Robby Anderson. I’ll run through each of the fantasy-relevant players, starting with Anderson himself and them moving on to how his arrival affects everyone else.
When it comes to Lamar Jackson, despite his eye-popping 1,200+ yards rushing, a 66% completion percentage, and 36 touchdown passes vs. only 6 interceptions, some people still aren’t convinced he’s worthy of a first round pick in redraft.
Quarterbacks in most cases do not win you championships in traditional fantasy football leagues. However, getting a solid starter can give you an edge for many years. Here we highlight three young quarterbacks that are poised for not only a breakout in the NFL but your trust at the helm of your dynasty team.
Once again, these players are not worthless, but they have consistently failed to pay off on their draft price, and I will not have them on my redraft teams anymore. Now, let’s dive into one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Why is Aaron Rodgers now “dead to me” for fantasy football purposes?
Have you ever had that feeling of frustration that you can’t shake? These two players make me feel that way. I will never deal with these players again in redraft formats. They’ve both burned me multiple times, and I want no part of them in 2020. I’m not saying that these players are worthless, but I will look for any way to pick someone else in redraft. All ranks are for a PPR format.
It seems like decades ago that the Green Bay Packers were known as the team that sits out free agency. My how things have changed since Ted Thompson stepped aside for Brian Gutekunst. This year, the Packers have brought back some smaller, but important pieces on both sides of the ball this offseason. These re-signings are signals that they may value some of their current offensive talents more than we think. Let’s take a look at the Packers skill positions from a dynasty lens.
With no sports going on, right now is the perfect time to join a new dynasty league. This article offers advice on different strategies you can use to approach your draft providing you an edge over your competition. These tips are geared toward a traditional fantasy dynasty format with no special rules such as Superflex or TE Premium.
The most significant move the Cowboys made was to re-sign Cooper to a 5-year, $100 million contract extension. While the extension seems massive, the contract actually represents a 2-year, $40 million deal. Cooper’s signing bonus, 2020, and 2021 salaries are guaranteed, but everything after that is not.
Linebackers are the core of any IDP league. No position is as reliable and consistent as the LB group. A lot of the time with linebackers, we know who the studs are going to be right from the draft and usually, a highly touted LB can start and produce from day one. These highly-regarded linebackers can be tough to get your hands on as any savvy IDP player will snag them up early in rookie drafts. But just like all positions, there are players that are out of the spotlight you should be targeting.
Time to take a close look at the Browns. Once again, they’re making big offseason moves, but will it work out? Let’s find out.
Amidst a total sports shutdown, bettors everywhere are embracing whatever they can get their hands on to keep them entertained during these times. Fortunately, the NFL’s offseason has whetted many sports fans’ appetites. Meanwhile, the NFL Draft is still slated to proceed as planned on April 23; not only is it a blast to see the culmination of these young men’s journeys, but it’s an exciting opportunity to place some fun prop bets as well.
Some dynasty owners have raised concerns about Kyler Murray’s ability to succeed at the NFL level. He ranked 27th in touchdown rate (3.7%) and threw 12 interceptions to 20 touchdowns. While he finished as the fantasy QB7, he had one of the lowest FPPG (18.82 ppg) out of the top 10 quarterbacks. Murray owners know how inconsistent he was last year, …

After 20 years of terrorizing the AFC East, Tom Brady is taking his talents south to Tampa Bay. Brady in anything other than a Patriots’ jersey is going to take a while to get used to. While everyone else is still adjusting, let’s take a look at the fantasy implications of his move.
Part 1 of this article series focused on the incoming rookie quarterbacks. Then, part 2 and part 3 covered running backs and the top two wide receivers. In this fourth and final part, I will cover four more incoming rookie wide receivers. All of these players come with question marks, but I believe each of them at least has a shot to provide fantasy value in 2020.
Everyone is touting “Their Guys” and making bold predictions for the Combine. I love taking in this information, as it gives me a better idea of how the community views the perceived athleticism and value of the upcoming rookies. We all want our favorite players to do well at the NFL Combine, but does their Combine performance matter?
Stefon Diggs, formerly part of the third-best WR duo with Adam Thielen and owner of the NFL’s second-best Twitter account (ranking only behind the self-proclaimed Lizard King, Sammy Watkins), has recently been traded. Anyone who watched Vikings games last season could see the frustration that Diggs and Thielen had with Cousins under center in the …

This trade has the star power, the first round pick involved and was a bit of surprise to a lot of us. The San Francisco 49ers traded star stud defensive tackle, DeForest Buckner, and in return, they would receive the Colts’ 2020 first round pick (13th overall). A big trade for both, with both getting impact pieces for their teams.
Without a doubt, the most surprising, perplexing and possibly season altering move was the Texans sending DeAndre Hopkins and a 2020 4th round pick to Arizona for David Johnson, a 2020 2nd round pick and a 4th round pick in 2021. The Texans also agreed to take on all of DJ’s bloated salary, which isn’t much less than Hopkins’.
The Bills’ trade for Stefon Diggs from the Vikings has massive ripple effects on both franchises for almost all of their fantasy assets. I’ll give a stock up or stock down for each affected asset or asset class based on this trade.
The Atlanta Falcons signed Todd Gurley to a one-year, $6 million deal less than a day after being cut by the Rams. He ends up back in Georgia where he went to college. Could a return to where it all started get his career back on track?
At Oklahoma, Lamb found wild success. He played three years with a series of star college quarterbacks: Baker Mayfield in 2017, Kyler Murray in 2018, and Jalen Hurts in 2019. In total, Lamb had 173 catches for 3,292 yards and 32 touchdowns. His 2019 performance solidified his status as the WR1 in this class, as he had 62 receptions for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Part Three of my series investigates the two NFC defenses with new coordinators from the Belichick coaching tree: Patrick Graham of the Giants and in Detroit, Head Coach Matt Patricia and his new defensive coordinator, Cory Undlin.
The quarterback position is somewhat similar to tight ends in that you’re usually fine with any landing spot affording you a shot at a legitimate and immediately productive fantasy asset. Drafting a starting quarterback is great but ask the Dwayne Haskins or Sam Darnold owners how they feel about it so far. Some teams are not equipped to support or develop a high-level quarterback. These are those organizations.
We all know the first rule of dynasty strategy. Successful owners find continued success because they are able to thread the needle of turning aging talent into young players and/or rookie picks. Julian Edelman is certainly a name owners are looking to sell as he enters his last year under contract, and possibly the end of his career. If you’re a team in contention, should the first rule apply, or should you be digging for Jules?
One team that addressed a need was the Los Angeles Chargers, who looked to upgrade and improve their cornerback group, signing Chris Harris Jr. They have veteran Casey Hayward on one side and super talented Swiss army knife, Desmond King covering the slot, but they need to improve their third corner of the group.
