Dynasty Analysis
The NFL is a worldwide, multi-billion dollar for-profit organization. Sunday after Sunday, the population equivalent of multiple countries eagerly wait to gaze upon the exciting feats performed by these exceptionally gifted athletes/gladiators, also known as NFL football players. There’s one thing every one of these players needs to be able to do to last long enough […]
When it comes to impact players at the tight end position, many dynasty owners are searching for the next Gronk to explode onto the scene. While it is never a bad thing to be in discovery mode for the “next big thing”, it is wise to have realistic expectations when reviewing young tight ends. To […]
As an Eagle fan this article really hits home and not in good way either. Although, I suppose it’s never a good thing when something hits your home. After all, home is where the heart is. Now, let’s get down to business. The great Chip Kelly experiment was an abject failure. He rode into town on […]
The Dallas Cowboys 2015 season certainly did not live up to the expectations that followed their successful 12-4 2014 campaign. Offensively, in 2015, Dallas took a major step back, which could, in large part, be due to a few things: 1) the loss of RB Demarco Murray before the season in free agency, 2) WR […]
Fans of the late 90’s video game, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, should be familiar with the character “Afro Thunder”. In fact, more people may be familiar with the fictitious character than with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers first year wide receiver, Kenny Bell, aka Afro Thunder. The 6-1, 185-pound Bell completed his Nebraska career as the […]
A lot of us go to sites like Dynasty Football Factory (shameless plug) to get the latest and greatest dynasty football-related information. While most all dynasty, and by extension, fantasy-related content is invaluable, I’m going to reflect on a topic which is as important as player valuation in a dynasty league setting: being able to […]
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. For the Giants, their (6-10) record was mired with inexplicable losses, as they lost […]
A Hurricane of Production The University of Miami has a history of producing top-flight NFL tight ends. As such, this dynasty profile will canvass once such prominent Hurricane tight end, Clive Walford. During his tenure at the University of Miami (2011 – 2014), Clive Walford was coached by former Hurricanes HC, Al Golden. In 2015, […]
If you’re like me, then the Oakland Raiders have been abysmal throughout most of your life time. As Raiders fans, gone are the days of electrifying players like, Fred Biletnikoff, Ken Stabler, Marcus Allen, and Bo Jackson. The silver and black jerseys, once shiny and bright, have been washed too many times and are noticeably […]
David Johnson is one of fantasy football’s hottest, and – arguably – most controversial commodities right now. This is quite understandable as he is one of – if not – the most athletic running backs in the NFL. While, Johnson did not have the biggest statistical rookie season, the impact he made was far greater […]
“Who’s got it better than us?” That’s the familiar family mantra of Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. It’s also what fantasy football owners said when they drafted UCF WR Breshad Perriman in the 1.07 – 1.10 range of their fantasy league’s 2015 rookie draft, a then-consensus steal of the draft. Well, was it really? […]
Will Tye attended Xavier High School and Salisbury School, in Connecticut, while enjoying the accolades as a stand-out TE. He was the #19 ranked TE in the nation by Scouts.com and was labeled a 3-star recruit by Rivals.com and Scout.com respectively. Tye was originally recruited by Florida State, in 2010, but elected to transfer to […]
In 2015, the New York Jets offense certainly soared, helping the team to their first winning record since 2010, with a mark of 10-6. Along the way, Jets starting quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, set a franchise record for passing TDs in a single season (31) and was only 102-yards shy of the franchise record for single […]
The 2015 Arizona Cardinals had one of their best seasons in franchise history, in regards to total offense and regular season wins. Although, their season ultimately ended in a rather disappointing fashion by way of the 49-15 drumming they were handed against the Carolina Panthers. Nevertheless, the future for the Cardinals still could be very […]
Measuring Excellence Donte Moncrief will be a 3rd year WR for the Indianapolis Colts in 2016 as he was selected in the 3rd round (90th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. Moncrief’s pre-draft rankings had him as the 10th best wide receiver available and was ticketed as a 2nd round pick. During the 2014 NFL […]
In fantasy football an owner must always be looking ahead and keep an eye on developing situations around their league so they can capitalize on the next big thing who pops up on the weekly waiver wire. Those of us in dynasty leagues must stay even further ahead of the trends, anticipating future player production, […]
When launching a start-up dynasty football league there are a multitude of various format options that will come into play, for the commissioner and team owners to decide upon. Such as, deciding whether it will consist of 1 or 2 QBs as starting options, a 2 or 3 wide receivers base, the number of flex […]
Who’s one of the hottest rising stars in the NFL right now? Short answer, Martavis Bryant. Who catches touchdowns while somersaulting through the air? Martavis Bryant. With his out of this world athletic ability and secure position as the #2 wide-out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s easy to see what all of the hype is […]
The First Order If you’ve seen Stars Wars: The Force Awakens, like me, you probably were entertained for a solid two hours. The film had drama, action, suspense, and your routine light saber battle. That being said, while I’ll be the first to admit it was a good movie, I have never really fancied myself […]
The most polarizing draft pick this side of 2014 and Johnny Football, was Jameis Winston. Winston was selected #1 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, finding a home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Johnny Football went on to lead the league in being benched, excessive partying, and flamboyant costume design, during his rock star […]
The 2015 rookie running back class, in many ways, was a microcosm of the position as a whole. However, there were a select few, which owners all but knew would perform well (think Todd Gurley and Adrian Peterson). Additionally, there were a few pleasant surprises. Devonte Freeman, Doug Martin, David Johnson and Jeremy Langford, would […]
The 2014 NFL rookie class featured 14 quarterbacks drafted, including five in the first two rounds. A few of those quarterbacks have already tasted some success in the NFL, as Teddy Bridgewater led the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC North title and AJ McCarron having stepped in for an injured Andy Dalton and leading the […]
There were lots of big name running backs in the AFC heading into 2015. Le’Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Hill, Lamar Miller were just a few that fit the bill deserving of our attention as the lead dogs, at least from a fantasy perspective. However, when week 17 came to a close only […]
While the 2015 rookie class of wide receivers certainly did not provide the immediate production of the class of 2014, there were still some players that provided a glimpse of what this class could become. The first round of 2015 rookie drafts was littered with talented wide receivers that were perceived to be in a […]
Mistake. Disappointment. Bust. Such are the buzzwords surrounding the 2015 No. 29 overall pick after his first season with the Indianapolis Colts – a season that began with a gaffe, riddled with injury, and ended with a whimper. A considerable amount was expected from the rookie out of the University of Miami, and it’s fair […]
