The concept is pretty simple: more snaps = more opportunity and more opportunity = more targets which are the mother of all fantasy points for wide receivers. I am going to profile a few players who project to see significant snap and/or target increases in 2019.Albert Wilson (Key Offseason Target Departure: Danny Amendola 5.3/gm)Offensive Snap Share = 25% (limited to seven games)PPR PPG 2018: 12.9There’s nowhere to go but up for Wilson who was only on the field for a quarter of the Dolphins snaps during his abbreviated seven-game season. During that time, he was still able to post the following stat lines:Week Two: 3/37/1 (12.7 pts)Week Three: 2/74/1 (15.4 pts)Week Six: 6/155/2 (33.2 pts)His season was cut short due to a week seven hip injury that ultimately landed him on the IR. If we project out his totals across 16 games (I know), Wilson would have scored 206.4 PPR points which were good enough for a WR22 finish in 2018. Assuming a full return to health, I believe that Wilson carries high-end WR3 upside in 2019. The new coaching staff knows how to maximize a players strengths, and Wilson has mismatch ability in space. With Danny Amendola heading to Detroit, the slot WR role is wide open in Miami and that should come with 100+ target upside. Kenny Stills and Devante Parker are best used as perimeter wide receivers which leaves that coveted slot role to Wilson. This is also assuming that Josh Rosen starts most, if not all, of Miami’s games in 2019 [NOTE: Ryan Fitzpatrick is a gunslinging wildcard at this point who would likely make Devante Parker WR1 overall]Golden Tate (Key Offseason Target Departure: Odell Beckham Jr. 10.3/gm)Offensive Snap Share = New to TeamPPR PPG 2018: 12.1………………………………………….
Kyle RudolphIt’s important that we note the contract he had before. For those who don’t spend a lot of time on Spotrac, he had a $7.625m cap hit with zero dead cap (money still counting towards the team’s cap for the year). Virtually any time a player has zero dead cap in a year, he represents a cut candidate, or what some people may call a “cap casualty”. This fact was especially exacerbated by the fact that the Vikings were up against the salary cap for the year with very little room for flexibility. It’s not uncommon for teams to look at having $7.625m more cap space as being more valuable than a player. In this case, the Vikings found a way to have their cake and eat it too, while also giving Rudolph some short term guarantees………..

Every year in the NFL, dozens of star players go down with injuries that impact fantasy football. Last year was no exception, as 536 players were placed on IR in 2018. One way that smart dynasty owners win titles is by scouring their league(s) for available former IR players to help them solidify their roster. […]

Without taking an NFL snap, we in the fantasy community must make up our minds on how the new crop of RBs will produce in the NFL, as rookies and thereafter. Here, I look at how history might point the way to the career paths of Miles Sanders, Josh Jacobs, and David Montgomery. Miles Sanders […]

IDP Only Rookie Mock Draft: Three rounds of nothing but IDP rookie mock drafting. No offensive players here, it’s all IDP.
We’ve begun our move into the NFC South for our diamond hunting. A lot of interesting prospects here, but buyer beware on the prospects in the South. Some of these prospects have the potential to become future NFL starters and can flourish, but there are some obstacles that they will need to overcome to get there. As with most draft picks past the fourth round, barriers will be in their way for them to even sniff the NFL field or roster.
The best part of fantasy football hands down is drafting. Best ball formats allow the fantasy player to draft a team and then forget it. No weekly conundrums on who to pick off the waiver wire, or who to start. Draft your favorite upside players and sit back and enjoy the show. Another perk of […]
Earlier this offseason, I wrote this article about how to apply the concept of VBD to compare league formats. I didn’t look at this concept in the article, but I looked at something remarkably similar. I looked at the difference between a particularly “beefed up” scoring system for quarterbacks, and 2QB/super flex leagues. What we found was that even in a pretty high scoring setup for quarterbacks, there were still more quarterbacks in the top 30 VBD players in the super flex format than the beefy 1QB scenario. Let’s do something similar for TE-premium.

In a typical 12 team league, championships are won and lost in rounds four through six( picks 37-72). In this range, there are plenty of players that have RB1 or WR1 upside in addition to the top quarterback options and some strong, tight ends. There are also some players being drafted in these three rounds that will not help your fantasy team. I will call out three players that I will not be drafting in redraft leagues this year. I’ll give you each player’s Fantasy Football Calculator half PPR ADP, compared that to my ranking of these players.

If you are reading this article, you probably like to trade. It doesn’t take an avid mentalist to propose that thought, though. The vast majority of dynasty football players love to trade. This is understandable because of how crucial trading is to capture value for your rosters. I’ve compiled a list of trading theory and tips, many of which you probably already know. However, it’s always good to get a refresher on the best practices of trading.
Every year you see fantasy players draft quarterbacks because ‘The team will be passing more’ when the team is losing, but what if I told you this isn’t the way you should be looking at how to draft quarterbacks? Did you know, since the beginning of the 2000 NFL season (606 games), that for each fantasy football point per game scored by a quarterback, their team’s wins for the given season increases by roughly 0.4 wins.

The tight end position has been a turnstile for New England in the short time since Rob Gronkowski retired. The Patriots have been scrambling to find a replacement since he left the NFL. They signed TE Stephen Anderson in January, Matt LaCosse in March, and Austin Seferian-Jenkins in April. Then subsequently they traded Jacob Hollister to Seattle while later signing former Patriot Benjamin Watson in May. If your head isn’t spinning yet, there’s more. Austin Seferian-Jenkins was cut at the beginning of June, and today the Patriots traded a conditional 7th round pick to the Detroit Lions for 2017 fourth round pick Michael Roberts (TE).
They say patience is a virtue. It can be hard showing patience in dynasty football. Holding onto players when they are not producing can make you sweat and cut bait on players not helping you win at the moment. Well, I am going to go in depth on a player worth waiting on. JJ Arcega-Whiteside (JJAW) is an outstanding player that may not produce right away.
