Dynasty Analysis
Dynasty owners who have sold out for the 2020 class have been quite fortunate in the past few weeks. Almost every prospect we wanted to declare did declare. The decision could have gone differently for the talented trio from Alabama. After a disappointing season—anything other than a title is a disappointment for them—it wouldn’t have been inconceivable for the Tua Tagovailoa, Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy to return for another shot. After all, they didn’t win the titles for two consecutive seasons. Thankfully, dynasty owners wouldn’t have to wait until 2021 for them. On January 4th, Jerry Jeudy became the first to announce his declaration for the 2020 NFL Draft.
In part one of this article, I chose five players from the top 50 in ADP that I considered to be busts in 2019. In part two, I will select five players from ADP between 51-150. When choosing my busts, I will try to avoid players that missed a few games but were otherwise successful when they played, so you haven’t and won’t see Saquon Barkley or Alvin Kamara type players on the list. Injuries are hard to predict, so it’s better to look at guys who flopped even when they were on the field. Similar to the values section, the individual players are important, but general trends and strategy advice will also be included below. As in part one, Yahoo’s final half PPR ADP is the source for the below ADP numbers.
I’ve been a Hooper fan for a couple of years now. He’s improved every season and 2018 proved to me that he’d broken out. Austin Hooper’s appeal during the draft season was where he was being drafted. Hooper had around 10 ADP which made him the 11th TE taken on average. This was crazy to me considering he finished the 2018 season as the TE6 securing 71 receptions on 81 targets for 660 yards and four touchdowns. Well, he sure didn’t disappoint, Hooper once again finished as the TE6. He caught 75 of 97 targets 787 yards and six touchdowns while starting just 10 games due to a knee injury.
I am going to touch on a few players that I think you should make moves on, either trading away or trading for, before the NFL Draft. These are players who I believe will have significant value changes once their team completes the draft. Looking ahead and capitalizing on values in the offseason can set your team up for success come next fall.
In my previous two-part article, I looked at the 10 best draft values from the 2019 redraft season and how much they impacted fantasy teams. Also, I predicted the future and examined whether those players would live up to the same performance in 2020 and whether they would return good value in 2020. However, as most fantasy owners know, identifying busts is just as crucial to success and failure in fantasy football as picking players on the rise. In this two-part article, I will name the 10 biggest busts from the 2019 redraft season. In part one, I will choose five players from the top 50 in ADP, and in part two, I will select five players from ADP between 51-150.
The 2020 WR class is the most talked-about class since the legendary 2014 WR class. The depth is highly impressive. Dynasty owners will be able to find contributors at the wide receiver position in the third round and later of their rookie drafts. While the depth is exciting, I’m more excited about the talent at the top. One of the most talented WR prospects in recent years recently declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. If you haven’t already, familiarize yourself with CeeDee Lamb.
While watching film it is easy to see the speed and burst that Ruggs has, but it is another thing to also hear the announcers say “the fastest man on the field” and “the fastest guy on the Alabama team.” This big-play-potential wide receiver has decided to forgo his senior season at Alabama and make a name for himself in the big leagues. Let’s dive into it.
In this two-part article, I’m taking a look at the 10 best draft values from the 2019 redraft season. I started by choosing five players from the top 50 in ADP in part one, found here, and now I’ll pick five players from the rest of the draft in part two. As in part one, I will be using Yahoo’s final half PPR ADP. In addition to revisiting how these players performed in 2019, I will also briefly touch on what I expect going forward into 2020. I’ll limit eligible players to the top 150 and might examine the best waiver wire wonders in a future piece.
Josh Allen ends the season as your fantasy QB6 but he only averaged 18.6 FPPG. That’s only significant because you can find quarterbacks later in your drafts who could produce more this year. The good news is he threw for 1,000 more yards than his rookie year and doubled his touchdowns from 10 to 20 this year. He also decreased his interception percentage from 3.8 to 2.0. Allen is only in his second year and has plenty of room for improvement.
With college bowl season in full swing and I continue to dig deep into my draft prep, I thought I would take the time to go over some of the potential prospects at the linebacker position. Keep in mind, this is just who I have watched to this point so far. As I watch more game film and prospects, I will update this list accordingly.
After an excellent second half of the 2019 fantasy football season is 2020 – the year in which Joe Mixon wins you your fantasy football leagues? @FF_DownUnder says yes and explains why in this article.
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.
Is D’Andre Swift the RB1 of the 2020 NFL Draft Class? What makes Swift a unique talent that could be the 1.01 in your upcoming rookie drafts?@DFF_Steven breaks down Swift’s attributes and what type of player he will be in the NFL.
In this two-part article, I’ll take a look at the 10 best draft values from the 2019 redraft season. I’ll start by choosing five players from the top 50 in ADP in part one and then pick five players from the rest of the draft in part two.
The NFL news of the New Year is the arrival of former Panthers’ Head Coach Ron Rivera in Washington. He’ll take the same position for the Redskins and has hired former Raiders’ and Jaguars’ Head Coach Jack Del Rio with him to coordinate the defense. IDP Fantasy Twitter is downright giddy that another franchise will […]
My excitement around the 2020 class hype derives from the talent that lies at the top of this class. Following a close loss to Clemson, Ohio State running back J’Kaylin Dobbins took no time considering his next step. On December 30th, 2019, JK Dobbins officially declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. Dobbins enters the pre-draft process as one of the most talented offensive players in the draft and my personal RB3.
On the eve of Wild Card Weekend, I’ll provide a quick break down of all the players I think you can consider in your DraftKings lineups for the full four-game slate. You can also use it accordingly for the two-game slates if you’re playing those as well. On a slate like this, build yourself a […]
It’s always fun to look back over your old teams to determine what went right and what went wrong. In this article, you can see the results of a zero-RB team from beginning to end.
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.
Meet Hamler This speedy receiver has had all heads turning this season as he has proven to the fans and scouts that his big-play ability is worthy of a roster spot in the NFL. Hamler only has a two-year sample size for teams to look at for scouting. But in that small sample size is […]
To help you win the Non-Scoring season we’re going to look back at those players that turned it on late. Are they “for real” or is the scoring an oasis that will disappear like a mirage?
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.
Twelve writers and editors from Dynasty Football Factory played in a redraft league together this year. There was no money on the line, just an opportunity to give our readers some more content and advice. The season is over, and now is the best time to reflect on the strategies to improve for next year.
In the wise words of Hannah Montana, “nobody’s perfect.” That includes the analysts that work for major networks. So, that’s who I’m talking about in this article. I was inspired to start creating content because of several YouTubers. How about an old fashioned top-10 list?
This series will attempt to bring clarity to the goings-on both on and off the field within each NFL Division so that dynasty owners can make the important roster decisions during the NFL season to help them build toward their championships. Our writers will be grinding the tape and keeping up with the media buzz surrounding players, coaches, and front office decision making so that they can keep you equipped with the “nuggets” you need to succeed.
