Dynasty Analysis
Here it is, the final installment of the 2019 IDP wrap up. In this series, we analyze trends, identify risers and fallers, and project sleepers for each IDP position group next season. Today, we focus on the safety position. So, without further ado, let’s wrap up the 2019 NFL Regular Season at safety.
Even though he has only been in the NFL for two seasons, I’ve already lost my patience with Sony Michel. Let’s see why he has me saying, “never again.”
While we fantasy gamers rub our hands together in anticipation of a loaded class of prospects, let’s contemplate the whole picture of the draft goals of each team. Equally important, do these teams have the draft picks necessary to bring in impact players to immediately push incumbents?
Here’s a quick-hit reaction to Breshad Perriman signing with the Jets. In my last offseason reactions piece, I looked at Robby Anderson signing with the Panthers. Perriman signed with the Jets on a 1-year, $8 million contract to replace Anderson in the deep-threat role in the Jets’ offense. Since this move has the most significant effect on Perriman himself, let’s take a short dive into Perriman’s career up to this point.
Is Blake Jarwin the next breakout fantasy tight end? I know plenty of fantasy owners who would like to know the answer to that question. You can never truly know if a young player will become a consistent fantasy producer but we can look to a few indicators that help us project Jarwin’s future outlook.
Devin Funchess recently signed with the Packers in free agency to a 1-year, $2.5 million contract. His contract also contains $3.75 million in incentives, making Funchess’ maximum salary $6.25 million. Therefore, if Funchess performs well, he has the opportunity to earn a significant amount of extra money. Before going into Funchess’ future outlook, let’s look back at how he arrived at this point in his career.
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’.
