Offseason Roster Management: Part 2

By Samuel Wallace | January 7, 2020 | Comments Off on Offseason Roster Management: Part 2

Similar to the wide receiver I wrote about in my first piece, Allen is a player I may struggle to move on from this offseason. He’s been a PPR machine his last three years in the league and he’s been a staple of my fantasy rosters, both redraft, and fantasy, for quite a while.

Offseason Roster Management: Part 1

By Samuel Wallace | January 3, 2020 | Comments Off on Offseason Roster Management: Part 1

Some of the toughest roster management decisions that exist in dynasty leagues are knowing the exact moment to move off of an asset before his value drops. This is easier said than done and I would be highly suspect of anyone who claims to have it all figured out. While we can use age as one filtering factor, such as running backs over a certain age or wide receivers over a certain age, it’s not the only variable to consider.

By Shane Manila | January 2, 2020 | Comments Off on The Throw-ins: Part 1

Everyone knows the names of big-name players and why you should target them. These are not those guys. These are the other guys. Players who often end up getting cut by one team when making trades so that they don’t exceed the roster limit. These are players that could amount to nothing come 2020 or players that you can stream during bye weeks.

IDP Rookie Recap Year-End

By Darrell Winstead | December 28, 2019 | Comments Off on IDP Rookie Recap Year-End

Before the season started I pegged Bush as my favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. He started the season like he was shot out of a rocket, but seemed to slow or hit the rookie wall in the second half. He still made this list on a weekly basis and ended up as one of the top rookies for 2019.

It’s Okay to Overpay: D.J. Moore

By Shane Manila | December 27, 2019 | Comments Off on It’s Okay to Overpay: D.J. Moore

Too often when playing dynasty fantasy football we get enamored with being able to buy low on players. Don’t get me wrong. Buying low on a player is a sound strategy. But sometimes players are worth the full cost of their market value. In even rarer cases some players are worth overpaying for. Even overpaying is a relative term. If you overpay today for a player who turns into a perennial WR1/RB1 in the future, did you really overpay? What someone sees as an overpay today could be looked at completely differently next season. I’m a strong proponent of paying up to acquire players when I believe they will be long-term fantasy studs. One such player that fits that definition for me is D.J. Moore.

Can Bad Passing Offenses Provide Fantasy Relevant Wide Receivers? Part 2

By Shane Manila | December 26, 2019 | Comments Off on Can Bad Passing Offenses Provide Fantasy Relevant Wide Receivers? Part 2

During the just completed fantasy season, I thought about the fantasy scoring that stems from bad offenses. Specifically, wide receiver scoring from poor passing offenses. I suspect that the wide receiver from a bad offense who scores the most fantasy points isn’t a particularly good long term fantasy asset. Though that seems intuitive, I wanted to take a look through history to see if this thought is correct. Gathering data is instructive.

Tight End Spotlight: Mike Gesicki

By Samuel Wallace | December 25, 2019 | Comments Off on Tight End Spotlight: Mike Gesicki

In fantasy football, the tight end position is somewhat of an enigma. Most leagues require you to start at least one, which is hard enough by itself. Other leagues, for whatever reason (all kidding aside), require you to start two. While the elite tight ends are usually pretty easy to identify, they require significant draft capital to acquire and cost you valuable depth at other positions on your roster.
