Dynasty Analysis
Every so often a player comes along who could have played a few decades ago, old school as it were; that guy is former Bama backer Reggie Ragland. His physical, no-nonsense style translates to the modern-day smash mouth defense that the Ryan brother like to run. I reviewed his 2015 performances against Wisconsin, Georgia, Texas A&M, […]

On the eve of the NFL draft, I tweeted my thoughts on several players set to be drafted over the next couple of days. In that series of tweets, I mentioned four running backs. In one tweet, I stated that Derrick Henry would be just fine in the NFL. With his size, defenses will have […]
As we’ve begun to move through startup season in dynasty leagues, I’d like to hit on a topic that is near and dear to me: Tanking. This piece is specific to startups who use snake drafts; I will have follow up pieces to this on startups with salary caps, as well as for owners who decide […]
With OTA’s in full swing across the league, it’s an excellent time to check in with a team that has been uber-busy this off-season acquiring new shiny toys for the fantasy community to debate over. Let’s get down to it. Quarterback: Brock Osweiler (Sell) Built more like a small forward than a starting NFL QB […]
Hi My Name Is… Eric Rogers has seemingly gone unnoticed for most of his football life and by extension, has been under well the radar. He did not go to a Division I school, instead having played at Division III California Lutheran University. He went undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft after drawing 11 different […]
Every player, from pee-wee up to college, dreams of making it into the NFL. It’s that dream and focus which drives these young players towards achieving personal and professional greatness. Those that have the skill make the leap from high school to college and that dream becomes even bigger and more within reach. Of course, it’s still a […]
Rashard Higgins only played three seasons at Colorado State, but he owns every single school receiving record…and he’s proud of it. After the 2015 Arizona Bowl, where he broke the last of David Anderson’s school records, he told the Reporter-Herald, “It’s a huge accomplishment that I set out for, and I’m glad I got it.” […]
Let’s kick this segment off with a few quick questions. Did you have a man crush on Deone Bucannon and you didn’t get to draft him? As a result, you were stuck watching him blowup this past year as a box safety/hybrid middle linebacker right? Same can be said somewhat for Mark Barron. Did you almost […]
In recent news, the injury to Sammy Watkins (surgery to mend his broken foot) has begun to diminish the expected production for his 2016 season. It makes sense, right? The third-year budding star will likely miss all of the off-season workouts, which logically might lead us (his fantasy owners) to believe he will be more […]

Right off the bat I still cannot believe that this player, in my next Player Profile, only received four scholarship offers coming out of high school and NONE coming from the touted SEC. I’ll let that sink in for you for a second. Coming out of the University of Pittsburgh and being selected by the […]
You just completed your dynasty league rookie draft. Optimism is in the air, for every team, as all are blessed with hope. This is even more true if you are coming off a previously rough season. After the rookie draft, you have some new players, but now the draft and perhaps the excitement it brings […]
Connor Cook was a three-year starter at Michigan State and was arguably one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2016 NFL rookie draft class. At one point, Cook was projected as one of the first four quarterbacks off the board. In fact, some even projected him as a first-round selection. The Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns, […]
With the NFL Draft over, dynasty owners are combing for lesser known playmakers, especially on the defensive line. Look no further than former Louisville Cardinal, now New Orleans Saint defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. One of the reasons to further explore Rankins is that he plays the free defensive tackle spot that lines head up on the […]
With the 2016 NFL Draft in the books and dynasty owners now preparing for their rookie drafts and plotting free agency moves, to fill out their rosters, it is now that time of year when searching for sleepers and promising UDFA’s becomes one of our favorite pastimes. Though the training camp battles and roster cuts […]
So, a better offense will help the Cowboy’s defense by scoring more in the first half of games, giving the defense the opportunity to play with the lead (and forcing the other team’s offense to play from behind). While it may be true that defenses with a halftime lead at the half fair better than […]
The key to building a long-term, successful, dynasty fantasy football team is being able to select enough solid rookies, year in and year out to keep your team competitive as older players disappear from your roster. Therefore, as years pass by and you get further and further from your initial startup draft, your ability to […]
In the off-season there are always a few once promising and productive veterans that land one-year deals with a team in need of depth. This year, Donald Brown is one such player. Brown now joins a crowded New England backfield with his best days already behind him rushing for an average of less than 4 […]

In this weekly offering, Dynasty Football Factory’s resident Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Rajiv Rajani will offer his insights on topics presented to him from you, our followers and our DFF team. Enjoy! Does position played […]
When you endeavor to make a dynasty trade it’s of utmost importance you undertake this task with a varied and strong base of knowledge, or more succinctly, “Knowledge is Power,” as Sir Francis Bacon once stated. Admittedly, Sir Bacon was most likely not referring to dynasty fantasy football, but I’ll go ahead and co-opt his […]

One of the biggest surprises in the 1st round of the 2016 NFL Draft was the Atlanta Falcons selection of former Florida safety, Keanu Neal. It’s not that he isn’t a talented playmaker, but that the safety is more of a thumper who enjoys hitting people. I reviewed his 2015 games against Michigan, Alabama and Florida State to […]
This is an amazing time for dynasty fantasy football. We are beginning to get some rookie practice reports; all kinds of fantasy football drafts are underway which gives everyone a chance to put their money where their mouth is in respect to player evaluation and strategy. I joined a start-up league run by my buddy […]
