Dynasty Analysis
The Big Bad Ohio Wolf(e) As I share with you my 3rd player profile, I’d like to point out that this man is a native Ohioan, like myself. So, expect there to be a bit of bias. Now, let’s get to the good stuff! Humble Beginnings Wolfe grew up near the Ohio/Pennsylvania border in the […]
Is Russell Wilson…”The One”? Remember at the end of the first Matrix movie (The one before my brain melted trying to figure out what in the world was going on)? Towards the end, Neo is desperately trying to escape Agent Smith and remove himself from the Matrix. He winds up on the upper level of an […]
Finding good fantasy commissioners can be a tough task. I have found my share of gems, along with many warts throughout my 20+ years of playing the game. This is more important than many think. When it comes to fantasy football commissioners, even more so with dynasty ones they need to be dutiful, accountable and […]
The Chargers took Hunter Henry, the former Arkansas Razorback, with the fourth pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. They chose the 6’5″, 250lbs. tight end for a multitude of good reasons. First, the Chargers current star TE, Antonio Gates, is well into the twilight of his career. Second, the organization recently let […]
A popular saying in fantasy football is talent…trumps all. In fact, I am one of the biggest proponents of that argument. In most cases, a talented player will rise to the top of the depth chart and show what he can do relatively quickly, and obviously some quicker than others. In other cases, wide receivers […]
This segment is designed to help educate the fantasy football masses on one of our greatest fears as fantasy football owners, injuries. 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! How do […]
The 2016 NFL Draft was undoubtedly a tragic storyline for former Notre Dame, now current Dallas Cowboy linebacker Jaylon Smith. The backer appeared to have all but secured himself a sure top ten selection with his tremendous athleticism and collegiate production; however, in the last game of his college career, during in a bowl game against […]
Identifying sleepers or unexpected performers is one of the best ways to gain a competitive advantage against your competition. This is one of the reasons why, if you do a search for “fantasy sleepers” at the end of July or early August, you will find countless articles telling you who you need to stash. While, […]
One of, if not THE single most important facets of dynasty league fantasy football is using trades to build your roster and/or stockpile draft picks. Once your league’s start-up draft is in the rear-view mirror, unless your hitting on every single rookie pick year-in and year-out (which you’re not), there is no other way to […]
Is it better to be the only game in town, or to be in a town filled with game? This is a question that has been pondered for years, and not just in fantasy football. We’re going to find out how option one pans out when Corey Coleman takes the field for the eternally-disappointing Cleveland […]
There is a lot to get excited about in Tampa Bay with second year quarterback Jameis Winston, along with some young playmakers like Kenny Bell, who missed his entire rookie season with a hamstring injury. Its key to remember that the former fifth round pick had a promising college career in the Big Ten before […]
Yes! They took him! Eat, Drink and be Merry! Oh, sorry about that, I was just reliving my feelings from April 29th, 2016. That night in Chicago when Jerry Reese and the front office of my hometown Giants made the majority of their fans jump for joy with one of their decisions. That decision, of […]
Let me preface this by saying that I’m a huge fan of what the Jaguars started building two seasons ago. Their record didn’t show it last year, but they made strides offensively, even if it was mostly in garbage time. Compared to the year before, the offense finally looked like it belonged in the NFL. […]
Do you ever tire of the same old ways to decide your fantasy football draft order? Picking names out of a hat was great in the 90’s and letting your league software randomly pick is so 2000’s. How about make it an event in and of itself! What if you could have fun picking your […]
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 […]
