Dynasty Analysis

LB Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers

By dffactory | April 5, 2016 | Comments Off on LB Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers

The Every Down Linebacker Ask any experienced dynasty owner what the most valuable position in fantasy football is and you will get a unanimous answer of it being wide receiver. The longevity provided by this position and consistent scoring of prolific pass-catchers is enough to build a championship contending squad. Akin to wide receivers dominating […]

S Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings

By dffactory | April 5, 2016 | Comments Off on S Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings

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 […]

IDP 360

By dffactory | April 5, 2016 | Comments Off on IDP 360

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 […]

RB Mike Davis, San Francisco 49ers

By Shaun Crandall | March 31, 2016 | Comments Off on RB Mike Davis, San Francisco 49ers

Mike Davis. I’m sure if you asked the San Francisco 49er running back about his first and last name, he would tell you, in some form, are not unique. The goal for the second year player though is to establish himself as “unique” within the crowded 49ers backfield. In my view, Davis should easily position himself […]

RB Carlos Hyde, San Francisco 49ers

By Rich Torres | March 30, 2016 | Comments Off on RB Carlos Hyde, San Francisco 49ers

The all-time NFL greats are known for being exceptional leaders on and off the field. They embody what it means to be a professional athlete. As a result, they are granted an abundance of respect by their respective franchises and fans. Frank Gore was that great player for the San Francisco 49ers for nearly a […]

WR Jeff Janis, Green Bay Packers

By dffactory | March 27, 2016 | Comments Off on WR Jeff Janis, Green Bay Packers

Before diving into this topic, I need to get one thing off my chest. I AM A BIG JEFF JANIS FAN! There, I said it, so you have been forewarned of any potential bias. The Green Bay Packers 2015 season did not go as planned, and the loss of Jordy Nelson echoed far more painfully than anybody […]

TE Eric Ebron, Detroit Lions

By Shaun Crandall | March 23, 2016 | Comments Off on TE Eric Ebron, Detroit Lions

Eric Ebron’s claim to fame, thus far, has been as the guy the Detroit Lions selected instead of Odell Beckham Jr. as the tenth overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft. After foregoing his final year of eligibility at North Carolina, Ebron entered the NFL as being a comparable talent to that of Vernon Davis, […]

Waiver Wire Warrior

By Shane Manila | March 12, 2016 | Comments Off on Waiver Wire Warrior

It’s a well-known fact in fantasy football circles that Tim Hightower was started on 348% of all fantasy football championship winning teams last season. You know where he was up until week 14 of the season? Nowhere, he wasn’t owned, he was sitting on waiver wires just waiting to be plucked like a fantasy football […]

Dynasty Football or Bust

By Travis Strickland | March 11, 2016 | Comments Off on Dynasty Football or Bust

Ask any player how or why they got in to dynasty football and you’ll certainly get a wide variety of answers. However, at the heart of their responses you can be guaranteed that one notion holds true for all. I didn’t want the fantasy football season to end. Most, if not all of us, got […]

Buy & Sell: New England Patriots

By Josh Cosner | March 10, 2016 | Comments Off on Buy & Sell: New England Patriots

The New England Patriots 2015 season went exactly as one might expect. Although, die hard Pats fans may disagree. After all, anything less than a championship is what they have come to expect. However, in the aftermath of the “Deflategate” scandal, which seemed to linger on, the New England Patriots still made a 5th consecutive AFC […]

Navigating a Dynasty Start-Up

By dffactory | March 9, 2016 | Comments Off on Navigating a Dynasty Start-Up

One of the most important parts of a dynasty league, aside from having great league mates and developing strong bonds with all of them (see this fantastic article from @VanBerf for more detail, is the effective navigation of the start-up draft. In fact, this is the first opportunity you will have to offer the most […]

RB Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers

By Travis Strickland | March 8, 2016 | Comments Off on RB Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers

The demise of the Packer’s offense in 2015 was shocking. As football fans and fantasy owners any time we’re caught off-guard, in respect to how good we think a team is going to be going in to the start of a season, its common for us to look for someone to blame. Some pointed to […]

Whether you’re a rookie or a veteran in dynasty fantasy football, nothing can prepare you for a soul crushing losing season or seasons. Sure, you thought so and so was a sure thing and the new offensive coordinator was going to run the ball 1,000 times and that rookie WR was a top dog in […]

Buy & Sell: San Diego Chargers

By dffactory | March 8, 2016 | Comments Off on Buy & Sell: San Diego Chargers

Before the start of the 2015 season and post NFL draft, Charger fans certainly had high hopes for a triumphant return to offensive glory. Phillip Rivers was still the anchor of the passing attack, while the ageless one, Antonio Gates, was set for yet another notch in his future Hall of Fame career. The gradual […]

TE Maxx Williams, Baltimore Ravens

By dffactory | February 20, 2016 | Comments Off on TE Maxx Williams, Baltimore Ravens

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 […]

Buy & Sell: Dallas Cowboys

By dffactory | February 16, 2016 | Comments Off on Buy & Sell: Dallas Cowboys

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 […]

Dynasty Relationships: How to Win Allies & Gain Influence

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 […]

Buy & Sell: New York Giants

By Shaun Crandall | February 9, 2016 | Comments Off on Buy & Sell: New York Giants

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 […]
