TE Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons

By Andy Miley | May 28, 2016 | Comments Off on TE Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons

The 2016 NFL Draft suffered yet another huge drought from the tight end position. For every Rob Gronkowski in the league, there are ten Vance McDonalds. In this player profile, former Stanford Cardinal and current Atlanta Falcon Austin Hooper is somewhere between my Gronk-McDonald comparison. He wasn’t a featured target with only 74 career receptions in two years […]

A Matter of Age

By Aaron Murnan | May 26, 2016 | Comments Off on A Matter of Age

All dynasty owners have considered this at some point, does the age of the rookie prospect really matter? We know age matters, when evaluating players for dynasty, because these players are on our teams until they retire, should we so choose. However, the relevance of rookie age, when a player is drafted, is a hotly […]

WR Daniel Braverman, Chicago Bears

By Andy Miley | May 24, 2016 | Comments Off on WR Daniel Braverman, Chicago Bears

The 2016 NFL Draft has its share of talented, yet niche players. One of the smallest wildcards is former Western Michigan, now current Chicago Bear wide out Daniel Braverman. When I say, smallest I’m talking about his size and not his talent. Being a former Mid-American Conference alumni (Bowling Green graduate), I have a special […]

LB Scooby Wright III, Cleveland Browns

By Andy Miley | May 22, 2016 | Comments Off on LB Scooby Wright III, Cleveland Browns

Your dynasty rookie drafts are usually filled with tremendous athletes, but sometimes an old-fashioned throwback player gets drafted. The Browns selected one of those linebackers in former Arizona Scooby Wright III. He had an outstanding 2014 season winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Award and Chuck Bednarik Award. In that amazing season, the backer […]

Draft Etiquette 101

By Andy Miley | May 22, 2016 | Comments Off on Draft Etiquette 101

It’s now late May and for many of us we find ourselves smack dab in the middle or perhaps tail end of rookie fantasy football draft season. I have been fortunate enough to be in a few rookie drafts that took a day or two to complete, but then others have taken weeks to finish. […]

TE Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams

By Andy Miley | May 21, 2016 | Comments Off on TE Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams

Right before the NFL draft can be quite a stressful time, especially, for the potential draftees who are under a lot of pressure and scrutiny.  One of the first to crack was former Western Kentucky and now current LA Ram, tight end, Tyler Higbee. Higbee got arrested on April 10th and charged with second degree assault, […]

Rookie Stock Report: WR Edition

By Rich Torres | May 21, 2016 | Comments Off on Rookie Stock Report: WR Edition

Rookies and rookie draft picks are without a doubt the most fluid currency in dynasty football. Some value them like gold, selling their most coveted veteran assets to get a piece of them, while others avoid them like the plague. These trends are extremely discrepant due to one reason: the unknown. Those who target rookies […]

S/LB Su’a Cravens, Washington Redskins

By Andy Miley | May 20, 2016 | Comments Off on S/LB Su’a Cravens, Washington Redskins

NFL defensive schemes and roles are changing to accommodate more versatile, explosive players like Arizona’s hybrid Deone Bucannon and LA’s Mark Barron. Washington decided to add an exciting playmaker with NFL bloodlines (related to Jordan Cameron, Manti Te’o and former Bengals great David Fulcher) whom has some similarities to those hybrid players, former Trojan defender […]

RB Wendell Smallwood, Philadelphia Eagles

By Andy Miley | May 19, 2016 | Comments Off on RB Wendell Smallwood, Philadelphia Eagles

With the 2016 NFL Draft behind us, dynasty owners are now trying to find value wherever they can. One of those less talked about rookie picks is former Mountaineer runner, Wendell Smallwood, who was drafted by the Eagles. Definably, Smallwood has a good opportunity to see immediate playing time in year one, playing behind Ryan […]

QB Jimmy Garoppolo, New England Patriots

By Josh Cosner | May 18, 2016 | Comments Off on QB Jimmy Garoppolo, New England Patriots

Before the 2016 NFL Draft anyone in New England could have told you that Jimmy Garoppolo was the highest drafted quarterback by the Patriots (62nd overall pick) since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 and was clearly Tom’s heir apparent. However, with the selection of Jacoby Brissett, in the 3rd round this year, some were left scratching […]

DT Geno Atkins, Cincinnati Bengals

By John Orr | May 17, 2016 | Comments Off on DT Geno Atkins, Cincinnati Bengals

Special talents are extremely difficult to find and even harder to be put in the right situations to succeed. It’s rare to find a player who can do multiple tasks at a high level. Some would suggest teams in the NFL need some luck to hit on an elite playmaker. To their credit, the Cincinnati […]

Hue Jackson: RBBC Whisperer

By dffactory | May 17, 2016 | Comments Off on Hue Jackson: RBBC Whisperer

The Chinese Giant Salamander, the Rafflesia Flower, a pub with a great club sandwich… Due to the many repercussions of a “modern” and rapidly “advancing” world, there will soon only be normal sized salamanders, as well as, average sized flowers that don’t give off a corpse-like stench and artisanal chicken sandwiches with pickled red onion […]

RB Aaron Green, Los Angeles Rams

By Andy Miley | May 16, 2016 | Comments Off on RB Aaron Green, Los Angeles Rams

As dynasty fantasy owners prepare for their rookie drafts, there are always a few players that crash and burn; while others climb in the collective rankings. Today, we will discuss former Horned Frog rusher and current L.A. Ram, Aaron Green (who resembles the fiery explosion). Although, he was not invited to the NFL Combine, the […]

LB Kentrell Brothers, Minnesota Vikings

By Andy Miley | May 15, 2016 | Comments Off on LB Kentrell Brothers, Minnesota Vikings

The beauty of playing in IDP leagues is that preparation meets opportunity more often than not. What I mean by that is, if you understand the strengths and weaknesses of a player and how that defender fits in the system in which he was drafted, the informed fantasy owner can make better choices. The Vikings […]

By Andy Miley | May 14, 2016 | Comments Off on RB Kelvin Taylor, San Francisco 49ers

The NFL is filled with family tradition, just look at Archie Manning with his sons Eli and Peyton or former defensive guru Buddy Ryan with his sons Rex and Rob. Will Kelvin Taylor, the son of former Jacksonville all-pro Fred Taylor have the same sort of success as his dad? Dynasty fantasy owners are asking […]

3-4 or 4-3…What’s the Difference?

By Andy Miley | May 13, 2016 | Comments Off on 3-4 or 4-3…What’s the Difference?

The world of IDP fantasy football can be a hard choice if you don’t completely immerse yourself in it. First, I understand why, as most of our childhoods get filled with memories of amazing, toe-tapping catches or several broken tackles that lead to long touchdown runs that seal the games. We have been taught to […]

QB Teddy Bridgewater, Minnesota Vikings

By Shaun Crandall | May 12, 2016 | Comments Off on QB Teddy Bridgewater, Minnesota Vikings

First things first, Teddy Bridgewater is in need of another wide receiver playmate. Outside of rookie sensation Stefon Diggs, the wide receiver group vastly disappointed for the sophomore QB in 2015. Charles Johnson was thought to continue his solid 2014 season and build upon it for 2015. Unfortunately, that never happened and Bridgewater was left […]
