Dynasty Analysis
Denver Broncos The Broncos lost Danny Trevathan, a key linebacker, to the Chicago Bears this off-season. Therefore, with Von Miller signed to a long term deal and Brandan Marshall entrenched as a starter, the Broncos decided Todd Davis was the guy to replace Trevathan in the middle. *Todd Davis – He is a 24-year old […]
The 2016 NFL Draft was full of talented players, but maybe one of the least discussed is former junior runner, now Chicago Bear, Jordan Howard. Perhaps it’s due to my University of Michigan homer-ism, but I came away impressed with the three games I watched of his namely; Michigan, Florida International, and a 2014 game […]
Dynasty players should always be viewing their team through a 3-year window. If the player can provide viable production in a three-year period, then he is definably valuable from a dynasty perspective. Personally, I view a player as “breaking out” when they eclipse their previous levels of fantasy production and emerge as a starting presence […]
What’s up to all my non-skimmers out there that are reading up on IDP defensive lineman in July!! I COMMEND YOU!! (Oh, “Skimmers” by the way, are those owners out there who only read what the major sports media outlets produce and they never dig any deeper and go “All The Way” like you are […]
Indianapolis Colts The Colts have veterans D’Qwell Jackson and Nate Irving entrenched as the inside linebackers in 2016, but at 32 and 28 years old respectively, neither guy would be considered long term solutions for Indianapolis. Therefore, with those aging stars in mind, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson chose Antonio Morrison in the 4th round […]
One of my favorite ways to get my football fix in, especially during the off-season, is by playing Madden. The game only gets more life-like with every new edition that is released, but it can be just as enjoyable than a football arcade game due to the vast details you can manage. A top option, […]
Who is the true #3 pick in this year’s Dynasty Rookie Draft? This is a question that has plagued dynasty owners all off-season. The consensus names that are thrown out there are Josh Doctson or Corey Coleman, with Sterling Sheppard making a strong push as of late. But I am here to present you with […]
You’ve heard me talk a little about using cap space as a weapon before in my articles, but namely in terms of how you can free up cap space to be able to keep turning over your unwanted/overpriced players and get cheap talent in return. But, really, that’s only half of the battle with using cap space […]
Some things in life just kind of suck the first time around. Then you take some time away from those things, come back to them, and poof, they’re great. Prime example: Beer. I don’t exactly remember trying beer for the first time, but I know at some point, probably around the age of 12, my […]
As humans, our impulses always draw us to the new and shiny things. From the day we were given that shiny new toy car at the age of 2, we were always looking for the flashier, fresher object. Even as adults, our focus does not deter away from the newest and most recent items to […]
In the next installment of my 2016 NFL rookie class review, we will explore the one year running back wonder former Notre Dame golden domer and current Seattle Seahawk rookie, CJ Prosise. This converted wide receiver certainly turned heads in 2015 with a thousand yard rushing season. I reviewed his games against Clemson, Massachusetts, Georgia Tech, […]
Playing fantasy football is not about being the biggest, meanest, or even smartest player out there, it is about being adaptable to changing situations. Injuries, coaching changes and legal issues can all be hazardous to your fantasy team, but being able to think on your feet and adjust to these changes is what will make […]
The 2016 running back class came in all shapes and sizes. The real question we need to ask is, who can they play at the next level? A wise, old Jedi named Yoda once questioned “judge me not by my size, do you?” I ask the same of my readers when considering former Illinois back, now […]
The ACL guys ready for Week 1 Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay Packers Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Caroline Panthers Dion Lewis, RB, New England Patriots Jamaal Charles, RB, Kansas City Chiefs Jordy Nelson Nelson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee during the preseason and spent the entire year watching from the bench. […]
“Patience You Must Have My Young Padawan – Yoda Every year there is criticism to what positions of the NFL Draft are its weakest. As such, the 2016 draft was no different as NFL teams and draft pundits alike were in agreement that this year’s tight end class did not have a first round talent. […]
Rob Gronkowski has been the clear #1 Tight End for general purposes for some time now. However, some fantasy players don’t believe Gronkowski offers an advantage that is worth the cost of acquiring him. This article will investigate exactly what the impact of having the 6’6”, 265lbs tight end has on your dynasty team. Gronkowski […]
With the news this week that Arian Foster has signed with the Miami Dolphins, he has become one of the hottest topics in fantasy football. Should fantasy owners buy or sell? Foster is a hard buy for me with the only exception being a team looking to “win now”. If you want an RB1 hiding […]
We all have our own personal “that guy” in sports. The one that we put so much trust into, and the same one who blew up in our faces. This is especially true in fantasy football. Coming into last year, I was fairly high on then-sophomore rusher, Jeremy Hill. In his inaugural NFL season, Hill […]
The IDP world is always changing and owners need to keep their eyes open for value. Last year the Giants invested a third round pick in former UCLA defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa. He came into the league a bit banged up and ended his rookie season quite early on injured reserve with a foot injury, […]
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably played backyard football with your buddies at least a few times. There’s also a pretty good chance you were a team captain on a few occasions. For me, it was always a struggle to pick between the bigger and more athletic friend versus the smaller, less athletic friend that […]

In this in-depth video analysis Alex takes the production microscope to Seahawks wide receiver, Doug Baldwin. Watch the video and listen to the commentary from DFF’s Video Analyst, Alex Rollins and how he breaks down what made Baldwin special in 2015 […]
When you see a rather unknown player break out from the middle of the pack and become a quality contributor, some questions may surface in your head. Multiple things could have sparked that breakout, whether it be a new coaching scheme, philosophy, more playing time, or a newly discovered commitment by the player. On the […]
Last year proved to be a major disappointment for the once feared Packer offense. A season ending knee injury to Jordy Nelson, AC joint sprain for Randall Cobb, and Eddie Lacy underperforming proved to be a triumvirate that was deadly for the effectiveness of the offense. Fast forward to today, now with a full complement […]
There were hundreds of stories being told about the 2016 NFL Draft class. One the most interesting transformations is about an athletic quarterback turned receiver, Braxton Miller. Recent history tells us that Hines Ward has been the one to have made the most successful transition, so far (yes he played some quarterback and running back […]
For the first time in what seems like eons I am sitting down to write. The circumstances surrounding my ability to put the written word into action is based largely on the fact that we just suffered one of the worst storms in state history today and I’m one of the lucky 110,000 city residents […]
