Dynasty Analysis
What should you look for in a dynasty league? The most important part of any dynasty league is leadership. Do you know the Commissioner and is he trustworthy?

The name, Mike Thomas, might cause confusion in this year’s rookie fantasy football drafts. Ohio State produced a top five wide out that got selected by the Saints (Michael Thomas) in the second round of the NFL Draft. While, Southern Mississippi had the smaller version (Mike Thomas) who wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine, but […]
The Kansas City Chief may have the least sexy offensive players in all of professional football and by extension, the entirety of North America. I’m even including CFL teams like the Montreal Alouettes in this assessment, at least they have Duron Carter scoring insane TD’s then trying to fight the entire Ottawa sideline…now that’s entertainment! […]
Human beings love to see rivalries. Strength versus Strength. Skill versus Skill. Mono y Mono. Organizations, such as the NFL, love these as well – it’s all about the money, and every ounce of hype will result in that many more dollars for them in the end. Before the 2016 NFL Draft, neither Jared Goff […]
The stage was set, at the 2014 Big Ten Championship game, for Ezekiel Elliott. With both the first and second string quarterbacks out for the season, due to injury, it was time for Elliott to step up his game. The result, he exploded with 220 yards and busted an 81-yard TD run to electrify the […]

In one of my recent pieces, I provided an introductory overview of how Salary Cap dynasty leagues work, and the basics behind how to focus on valuation, as you have to factor a player’s production, as well as their cost, into determining their true worth in your league. In this piece, I will be providing you […]
I’m frustrated with Fantasy Football Analytics and have been for some time. This frustration played a large part in why Aaron Murnan, aka @El_Tayablo and I started writing. As readers and seekers of knowledge and informed data, we grew tired of some of the “norms” found within many sites approach to “research.” Perhaps I’m in the minority […]
The Hidden Cleveland Workhorse Azusa Pacific isn’t a football program many are familiar with. A small DII school in California whose only meaningful contribution to the NFL is former Chiefs running back, Christian Okoye. I’m here to talk about another Azuza Pacific running back with a major opportunity in front of him: Terrell Watson. College […]
The 2015 season was a status quo for the Bengals. Resulting in a solid regular season then immediately followed up with choke job in the playoffs. They went 12-4, and at times looked so dominant that many people actually started to believe that they could make a playoff run. Alas, it was not meant to […]
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 […]

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 […]
