Dynasty Analysis
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
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, […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Most of us dynasty diehards are in the middle of 2016 rookie drafts or we have just completed them. This is the final installment of a weekly three-part series article about the trends that are occurring on myfantasyleague.com fantasy football rookie drafts. I decided to make it only a three-part series, because most leagues complete their rookie […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
