IDP Devy Rankings Top 30

By Darrell Winstead | May 5, 2020 | Comments Off on IDP Devy Rankings Top 30

Once again here are my monthly rankings for IDP devy fantasy leagues. This is my overall composite rankings for college only, Campus to Canton, redraft and devy limited leagues. These rankings are put together for fantasy football and are my current assessments. They will change as I watch more film and games. Hopefully, this list can help guide you to a championship(s) and better prepare you for your NFL leagues.

Dead to Me: Marlon Mack

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 4, 2020 | Comments Off on Dead to Me: Marlon Mack

I’ve loved the “Dead to Me” series of articles. It’s provided an excellent way to create redraft content throughout the offseason and take a closer look at the week-to-week effectiveness of one or two players at a time. By going in-depth and zooming in, we can discover how these players have been hurting your fantasy redraft teams for multiple years. After the 2020 NFL Draft, there are a bunch of new players that are now dead to me in redraft. Even though this is low-hanging fruit, I have to begin with Marlon Mack.

Tyler Lockett: Lockdown Value

By Lewis Glover | May 3, 2020 | Comments Off on Tyler Lockett: Lockdown Value

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been doing plenty of drafting during this extended period of isolation and lockdown. What else am I supposed to do? One player who seems to be consistently undervalued be it either in a season-long best ball or dynasty start-up draft is Tyler Lockett. I’d be willing to wager he will be undervalued in redraft leagues come August as well.

Post Draft Superflex Rookie Mock

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 2, 2020 | Comments Off on Post Draft Superflex Rookie Mock

The DFF team recently did a post-draft superflex rookie mock. In this piece, I’m going to focus solely on my draft from the #9 slot. I want to dive into the four players I picked and concentrate on the value of those selections in the superflex dynasty format.

The Magnificent Seven: The 2020 Dallas Cowboys

By Lewis Glover | May 2, 2020 | Comments Off on The Magnificent Seven: The 2020 Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are poised to become one of the league’s most explosive offenses in the 2020 NFL season. You might even say their offense will be magnificent (I will see myself out). Despite their middling .500 record, Dallas was one of the best offenses in the NFL last year. It finished 2nd in offensive Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA), 4th in weighted DVOA per Football Outsiders, and 5th in points per game.

2020 NFL Draft Winners/Losers

By Billy Beaman | May 2, 2020 | Comments Off on 2020 NFL Draft Winners/Losers

The NFL Draft is all about improving a team and injecting youth into a roster. The 2020 NFL Draft specifically has been highly touted as one of the best classes in years and comes at a time when people need something to take their minds off of our real-world problems. Much like years past, things haven’t gone as expected and front offices have made some head-scratching selections.

A Look Back: Rookie Avoids

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 1, 2020 | Comments Off on A Look Back: Rookie Avoids

Continuing my “A Look Back” series, I wanted to go back even further than the 2019 regular season and reference some of my 2019 pre-draft content. I already covered the rookie targets in my last piece, so now let’s look at the three guys I said to avoid.

Marquise Goodwin to the Eagles

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 1, 2020 | Comments Off on Marquise Goodwin to the Eagles

Recently, the Eagles have made a bunch of transactions to overhaul their wide receiver room, including a trade for Marquise Goodwin. While I might cover the 49ers’ receiver situation in another piece, I think that most dynasty owners had already assumed that Goodwin was on his way out there. Therefore, there should be little to no change in the dynasty value of the receivers there. With that said, let’s jump into it.

Marqise Lee and the Patriots WRs

By Tyler Justin Karp | April 30, 2020 | Comments Off on Marqise Lee and the Patriots WRs

In my previous offseason reaction articles, I’ve looked at a variety of offseason moves and how they relate to dynasty formats. The full list of links is at the bottom of the article. While this move isn’t the most exciting or flashy transaction, it’s still important to look at the Patriots’ WR depth chart and see how their offseason signings, including Marqise Lee, impact it.

DeAndre Washington’s Impact on KC

By Billy Beaman | April 30, 2020 | Comments Off on DeAndre Washington’s Impact on KC

DeAndre Washington recently signed a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s admittedly a fantasy afterthought who doesn’t provide consistent fantasy production on a week-to-week basis, but dynasty leagues are about more than just the weekly impact or value of a player.

Matt Breida to the Dolphins

By Tyler Justin Karp | April 30, 2020 | Comments Off on Matt Breida to the Dolphins

I’m taking a deep dive into Matt Breida and how his recent trade to the Dolphins affects their backfield. Also, I’ll take a quick look back at the 49ers’ backfield and what’s left behind after Breida’s departure.

NFL Draft Rounds 4-7: Redraft Reaction

By Tyler Justin Karp | April 29, 2020 | Comments Off on NFL Draft Rounds 4-7: Redraft Reaction

In this article, I’ll give rapid-fire takes on any skill players in Rounds 4-7 of the NFL Draft that I believe might be redraft viable. On Thursday, I wrote up the first round, on Friday, I did articles on the second and third round. Those links are at the bottom of this article. For these last four rounds, I’ll only pick out a few notable players that I expect to make an impact in redraft potentially. With each player, I’ll note their path to redraft relevance. It is important to note that any player listed below is, by definition, a long-shot. Very few late-round rookies hit in redraft. 

RB Age Cliff: The RB1’s

By Tyler Justin Karp | April 29, 2020 | Comments Off on RB Age Cliff: The RB1’s

n this article, I’m going to take a look at the running back age cliff. In dynasty formats, player value and performance tends to decline after a player hits a certain age. RBs tend to decline faster than other positions and peak earlier in their careers. The question is: when is the top of the cliff, and when should you consider selling RBs in dynasty?

A Look Back: Rookie Targets

By Tyler Justin Karp | April 28, 2020 | Comments Off on A Look Back: Rookie Targets

Continuing my “A Look Back” series, I wanted to go back even further than the 2019 regular season and reference some of my 2019 pre-draft content. In this two-part article, I’m going to take a look at two articles I published in mid-to-late August 2019 about rookies in redraft. Let’s start with the three targets.

2020 NFL Draft Round 1 IDP Fantasy Preview

By Darrell Winstead | April 28, 2020 | Comments Off on 2020 NFL Draft Round 1 IDP Fantasy Preview

Now that the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft has concluded, I want to look at the values of all the defensive players, their landing spots, and what that could mean for us fantasy owners. How do they fit the team that drafted them? What kind of talent do they have around them? Will they make an impact right away or will they need time to find their role on the team? I’ll break all this down for you and get you ready for your fantasy drafts.

A Look Back: Tight End Avoids

By Tyler Justin Karp | April 27, 2020 | Comments Off on A Look Back: Tight End Avoids

To continue my “A Look Back” series, I wanted to go back even further than the 2019 regular season and reference some of my pre-draft content. In the summer of 2019, I did a two-part article, looking at tight end targets and avoids for 2019. I already looked at my suggested targets in part one, so now let’s look back at the three players I said to avoid drafting.
