Dynasty Analysis
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

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? […]

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.
