Dynasty Analysis
One of the biggest stories coming out of the 2016 NFL Draft was the recovery of superstar, UCLA linebacker, Myles Jack, who got selected by the Jaguars in the second round. This athletic freak was a natural force as a running back early on, as well as a linebacker, his entire healthy career for the […]
It’s an exciting time for dynasty football owners with the unknown wide receiver talent, DeAndre Smelter, who missed all of the 2015 season recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in 2014. This ultra-athletic former Georgia Tech player, now 49er receiver, should perhaps be fawned or fretted over. So far, the run-based college is batting […]
In today’s fast paced NFL, the “need for speed” is everywhere and seems to be desired by all. The 2016 NFL Draft had a few speed demons and the one that garnered the most attention was former Notre Dame wide out, Will Fuller, who was selected by the Houston Texans with the 21st pick in […]
Recently, one of my colleagues here at DFF, Andy Miley, put out an excellent piece of what you should be looking for in a Commissioner when you’re looking to join a new league. One of the main points he touched on was the league’s By-Laws. To summarize: 1. Clear-Cut Rules A league’s rules should be straightforward […]
The 2016 rookie running back class was chock full of surprises. One of the biggest stories in the Oakland camp was that former Texas Tech back, DeAndre Washington is getting some first team reps. Some fantasy pundits may discount him due to his size, but this is a talented back who might be poised to […]
Cincinnati Bengals The Bengals have a veteran linebacker crew consisting of Karlos Dansby, Ray Maualuga, Rey Vincent, and Vontaze Burfict to lineup in 2016. However, that didn’t stop Cincinnati from using the 24th pick of the third round on inside linebacker, Nick Vigil. I’ll be interested to see what happens if one of the aforementioned […]
The single most devastating enemy to dynasty leagues is horrible/laissez-faire Commissioners. In the past six years, I have come across three of them. This article gives some examples and concerns of mine as to the mistakes that they make. These horrible Commissioners already know who I’m talking about and I won’t name them here, but […]
What is an Achilles tendon injury? The Achilles tendon is the confluence of three muscles in the lower leg that allows for an individual to generate power in the ankle and leg. Specifically, the Achilles allows the individual to plantar-flex the ankle with significant power. There are other muscles that allow for plantarflexion, but not […]
Utes better get to know him. Devontae Booker has the mold of a workhorse, NFL running back. With measurables of 5-11, 220lbs. he should be able to withstand the physicality of the NFL each week. However, Booker’s college career started slowly. In fact, he didn’t immediately attend a D-I university. Booker actually began his college […]
LB – Blake Martinez, Green Bay Packers College Ball Martinez played his college ball at Stanford. He really began to shine as a junior. The game slowed down for him and it began to showcase his skills when it did. With confidence restored, he managed 102 tackles and seven of those were for a loss! Ultimately, I […]

Every Thursday night, I play softball. It gives me an opportunity to get out of the house, get some exercise, and enjoy the camaraderie with my teammates. I ultimately started playing sports when I was ten or so playing tee ball and was always involved with sports all through high school. However, after I graduated, life […]
Usually when we think about the Cleveland Brown’s quarterbacks we think about a revolving door that shuffles a different starter every other week. That conversation will soon change with new rookie addition, Cody Kessler. In High School, Kessler was ranked as the number 2 pro-style quarterback in the country by Rivals.com, and he was also […]
I was never a big fan of Lamar Miller in Miami, but his recent change of scenery with the Houston Texans has made me a fan. In the interest of full disclosure, he’s still my second favorite Lamar after Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds, but that’s neither here nor there. Miller was always a […]

Therefore, in an effort to help educate the masses on the Super-Flex experience, I’m going to show you how I navigated my most recent startup. The Commish of this league, “Dynasty Ballers Super-Flex League”, and I, play in another league together, he’s a good owner and […]
For the past few seasons, Ohio State has been flush with dominate defensive play makers. When the 2016 NFL Draft came around, most of the Buckeye defense decided to migrate to the NFL along with one of their best players, linebacker Darron Lee (selected by the NY Jets at 20 overall). He reminds most people […]
Allen Hurns is the second best receiver on the Jacksonville Jaguar’s offense, this is a fact. A wise and fictional man named, Ricky Bobby once said, “If you ain’t first, you’re last”. However, the list of 2015 second option wide receivers in fantasy football would beg to differ. Ask anyone who won their weekly match-ups […]
Disclaimer: It pains me to write this ensuing intro as a long time Buffalo Bills fan, but the truth hurts. With that being said…let’s get to it! The Buffalo Bills are the forgotten team of the NFL. When you ask the casual fan to name the professional football teams that play in New York the […]
Let me guess how this went…you saw this link, glanced at the title, and then said “Who?!”. Well, you aren’t alone. Stephen Anderson is at the moment a very hidden commodity, which is exactly why I am telling you about him now before his value blows up. So, let’s get started! Stephen Anderson, Houston Texans […]
When it comes to building an NFL roster, there is no position that is more important to get right than the quarterback position. When a team is able to secure a top end quarterback, they are well ahead of the game. Unfortunately, most teams fail to secure an elite level quarterback and are stuck being […]
B.J. stands at 6’1 and 242 pounds. He is from Lamar, South Carolina, a small town that has a population under a thousand. He played college ball for 4 years. He was limited early on as he played behind some talent. Stephone Anthony blocked him from starting earlier. B.J.’s best friend is his pet, a […]
Every year the internet hype train selects a player or two that might be the next “big sleeper” in fantasy football. Over the years, the results are typically mixed and more often than not the players in question end up not living up to the build-up. One such player, gaining a head of steam this […]
With most early rookie drafts completed, the average draft position usually places wide out Josh Doctson somewhere in the top five usually after Ezekiel Elliott and Laquon Treadwell usually. In this article, former TCU and current Washington receiver, Josh Doctson’s game tape gets reviewed. I watched eight of his 2015 collegian games (unless noted) against […]
