Best IDP Player Ever? The visions of that fateful 2010 Ohio State versus Wisconsin game still rings in my brain: Ever since I watched his first step up field to get one of his two sacks on the day, against my all-time favorite college team. I’ve seen him play before, but this game keeps coming […]

After the second day of the NFL Draft, dynasty fantasy owners now have more questions, than answers, concerning the Houston wide receivers outside of Nuk, such as; who will be the quarterback for the Jets, are there any more former Buckeyes to draft and will there be a running back by committee in Seattle? I […]
When I draft my DE, I am looking for that every down player with a high ceiling. The epitome of a big play specialist. My goal is to draft a plug and play talent expecting the stats to come week in and week out. By extension, a DE who teams need to game plan against […]

It goes without saying that the NFL is an extremely exciting organization. Millions upon millions of fans spend countless hours focusing on the league, their players, etc., whether games are being played or not. In my opinion, this can be directly attributed to their efficiency and execution of proper planning and structural organization. The organizers […]
The Donte Moncrief Wet Blanket If you are a dynasty player, you know of Donte Moncrief. Standing 6’2” and over 220lbs, flashing absurd speed and burst, he’s the monster Wide Receiver that #TeamBigWR covets religiously. Athleticism junkies drool over his 115.5 Sparq-X score (79th-Percentile). Even market share fanatics, like myself, look intriguingly at his 32-percent Dominator […]

This time last year many people had no idea who this young football player was. Furthermore, if you heard his name you likely needed to run to Google or grab your draft guide just to figure out who he was. However, for the savvy dynasty IDP owner, he was properly scouted an ultimately selected in the […]
The Patriots season went exactly as one would expect. Although, die hard Pats fans might disagree. After all, nothing less than a championship is what they have come to expect. However, in the aftermath of the Deflate-gate Scandal, which seemed to linger on, New England made a 5th consecutive AFC Championship appearance as well as […]
Patience is an underutilized skill set, both in the real world and even more so in the dynasty fantasy football world.

Going back to 1960, during the “Super Bowl era” of the NFL, 54 players have been awarded The Heisman over the last 55 years. During that time, 27 quarterbacks, […]
Much like other dynasty owners out there, I am constantly in search of new information and a diverse array of opinion on trades and players, in the hopes that I can create a more complete and comprehensive viewpoint from which to evaluate players & trades.

The New York Giants 2015 season mirrored much of the same emotion as when you are opening a Christmas gift from your Grandmother. The build-up and anticipation, leading up to that special moment, inevitably far outweighed that of which you received.

I’d like to kick start this profiling of a young quarterback with a question. It’s a question that matters as much and arguably more than any when it comes to evaluating a young, talented and semi-proven player in the NFL. The first thing we must ask ourselves is, will this player ever get the opportunity […]
Chandler Jones in Cardinal red. That is going to take some time to sink in all the way. In a move that surprised many fans, including myself, the Arizona Cardinals traded G Jonathan Cooper and their 2016 2nd round pick for the 4-year veteran. Cardinals GM Steve Keim has made a name for himself by […]

During my college years I worked part-time at a movie theater. It was the perfect blend allowing me to earning some cash, while tapping into my movie buff side. Ultimately, my duties consisted of tearing tickets, cleaning theaters, selling popcorn, you name it, I did it. One afternoon I was cleaning a theater and came […]
Individual Defensive Players, or IDP for short, is an exciting type of fantasy football format that is growing in popularity. Unlike most fantasy football leagues that require a team to start a general defense/special teams to gain points for sacks, turnovers and touchdowns, this style of play emphasizes using a plethora of defensive players in […]
