Dynasty Analysis
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.
Every year, multiple rookie running backs are fantasy viable. Here we’ll look at the consensus top three running backs coming into the 2020 NFL Draft. Each of these players is likely to have a massive role in 2020 and will most certainly be redraft relevant.
This piece will cover the dynasty impact of the recent trade of Nick Foles from the Jaguars to the Bears. Let’s jump right in. The Trade After deciding to go forward with Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback, the Jaguars were looking to trade former starter Nick Foles. After searching for a few weeks, […]
Being patient, the Titans sat back, let the market set itself and then went after their target. The player that they chose was outside linebacker Vic Beasley, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons.
This followup piece serves to address how each receiving corps is impacted by the DeAndre Hopkins trade to Arizona. The previous article on DFF was a quick reaction to the transaction. It mainly focused on the immediate fantasy impact for Hopkins and Arizona’s quarterback Kyler Murray.
What a crazy first day of the legal tampering period, where teams can work deals with free agents, but they can’t become official until Wednesday. One of the best free agents signing in my opinion so far is the Philadelphia Eagles offer to defensive tackle Javon Hargrave. They will sign him to a three year, $39 million deal when free agency officially opens on Wednesday.
Every year we seem to have a handful of players that amaze us with there athletic awesomeness. Even when we expect great results from certain players, we still get wowed. This year was no exception, as there was once again some standout take notice performances. Here we take a look at a few of the next group of stars to be.
The first team to make waves was the Baltimore Ravens. They were aggressive out the gate and made a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, for twelve-year veteran defensive end Calais Campbell. The Ravens would only give up a 2020 fifth round pick to acquire Campbell.
Welcome to the kickoff of a new series of articles I will be starting that will delve deeper into certain debates that are popular within the dynasty community. The purpose of these debates is not to convince you which side of the argument is correct but rather to shed light on a particular player and lay out a convincing counter-argument to their current narrative. Here we will discuss Josh Jacobs, running back for the Las Vegas Raiders.

This article is about newer formats that are now starting to appear in redraft leagues. While certain league types are common in dynasty circles, many redraft players may not be familiar with the strategy or even the rules. Unless otherwise stated, strategy advice is for a 12 team PPR league with an equal number of running back and wide receiver starters.
Coming into 2020, Burrow will have a plethora of weapons. The Bengals locked up Tyler Boyd to a long-term deal and will use the franchise tag to retain A.J. Green. They also have speedster John Ross and promising third-year receiver Auden Tate on their roster. Running back Joe Mixon will also take some of the initial pressure off Burrow, providing a solid anchor for the Bengals’ rushing attack.
This article aims to identify three wide receivers to buy low on before they break out in 2020. The chart above plots Air Yards on the X-axis and 2019 PPR Fantasy Points on the Y-axis. 18 players in the NFL finished with over 1,400 Air Yards on the season. Of those 18, only three failed to finish with more than 200 fantasy points on the year: Mike Williams, Curtis Samuel, and Robby Anderson.
Aaron Parker checks a lot of boxes. First and foremost, Aaron has impressive age-adjusted college production. He broke out during his true freshman season at age 18 for the Rhody Rams. The Gwynn Park High School product was URI’s primary receiving option. He also had a 34.7% dominator rating (average market share of receiving yards and touchdowns) in his first season. Parker continued to produce at an elite level for Rhode Island. He earned over 35% of their receiving production in each of his final three seasons. He did so with his cousin and fellow NFL Combine invitee, Isaiah Coulter, playing opposite him as well. Parker leaves Rhode Island second all-time in team history with 3,460 career receiving yards and third all-time in touchdowns with 30.
