Dynasty Analysis
Right off the bat I still cannot believe that this player, in my next Player Profile, only received four scholarship offers coming out of high school and NONE coming from the touted SEC. I’ll let that sink in for you for a second. Coming out of the University of Pittsburgh and being selected by the […]
You just completed your dynasty league rookie draft. Optimism is in the air, for every team, as all are blessed with hope. This is even more true if you are coming off a previously rough season. After the rookie draft, you have some new players, but now the draft and perhaps the excitement it brings […]
Connor Cook was a three-year starter at Michigan State and was arguably one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2016 NFL rookie draft class. At one point, Cook was projected as one of the first four quarterbacks off the board. In fact, some even projected him as a first-round selection. The Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns, […]
With the NFL Draft over, dynasty owners are combing for lesser known playmakers, especially on the defensive line. Look no further than former Louisville Cardinal, now New Orleans Saint defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. One of the reasons to further explore Rankins is that he plays the free defensive tackle spot that lines head up on the […]
With the 2016 NFL Draft in the books and dynasty owners now preparing for their rookie drafts and plotting free agency moves, to fill out their rosters, it is now that time of year when searching for sleepers and promising UDFA’s becomes one of our favorite pastimes. Though the training camp battles and roster cuts […]
So, a better offense will help the Cowboy’s defense by scoring more in the first half of games, giving the defense the opportunity to play with the lead (and forcing the other team’s offense to play from behind). While it may be true that defenses with a halftime lead at the half fair better than […]
The key to building a long-term, successful, dynasty fantasy football team is being able to select enough solid rookies, year in and year out to keep your team competitive as older players disappear from your roster. Therefore, as years pass by and you get further and further from your initial startup draft, your ability to […]
In the off-season there are always a few once promising and productive veterans that land one-year deals with a team in need of depth. This year, Donald Brown is one such player. Brown now joins a crowded New England backfield with his best days already behind him rushing for an average of less than 4 […]

When you endeavor to make a dynasty trade it’s of utmost importance you undertake this task with a varied and strong base of knowledge, or more succinctly, “Knowledge is Power,” as Sir Francis Bacon once stated. Admittedly, Sir Bacon was most likely not referring to dynasty fantasy football, but I’ll go ahead and co-opt his […]

One of the biggest surprises in the 1st round of the 2016 NFL Draft was the Atlanta Falcons selection of former Florida safety, Keanu Neal. It’s not that he isn’t a talented playmaker, but that the safety is more of a thumper who enjoys hitting people. I reviewed his 2015 games against Michigan, Alabama and Florida State to […]
This is an amazing time for dynasty fantasy football. 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
