IDP Wrap Up: Week 8

By Scott Osterloh | November 5, 2021 | Comments Off on IDP Wrap Up: Week 8

The Jaguars drafted Josh Allen seventh overall in the 2019 NFL draft. That pick is paying big dividends for Jacksonville this season. The edge rusher is producing top defensive end performances consistently, with Week 8 being no exception. Allen’s slash line included six total tackles, four TFLs, and two sacks against the Seahawks. IDP managers can continue to start Allen as an elite edge rusher in all formats.

Redraft: Week 9 Buy/Sell

By Chris Miles | November 4, 2021 | Comments Off on Redraft: Week 9 Buy/Sell

Hello, fellow fantasy managers. I am Chris Miles, The Draft Director, and in this series of articles, I will be helping you determine what players value you should be taking advantage of each week in your Redraft league. If someone’s value is too high I might tell you to sell or if I think their value will decrease soon he could also be a sell. I will give my reasoning for why each player falls in a certain category. I will attempt to have the format consistently be a buy and sell for each position but that may increase or decrease depending on the week.

Dynasty Sleeper of the Week: Sammis Reyes

By Billy Beaman | November 4, 2021 | Comments Off on Dynasty Sleeper of the Week: Sammis Reyes

I hope my dynasty sleepers haven’t disappointed anyone too much but I’m fairly certain I’ve got one here just about everyone can appreciate, even if it’s just a cool story.  This edition of “Dynasty Sleeper of The Week” features a player who came all the over to the United States from Chile for a chance to play in the National Football League.

Paul’s Picks – Week 9

By Paul Patterson | November 4, 2021 | Comments Off on Paul’s Picks – Week 9

I whiffed on a lot of “starts” in Week 8. Truthfully, I’m still reeling from Kenny Gainwell’s usage, or lack thereof, and the duds we saw from Mike Williams and Emmanuel Sanders. But at least the “sits” were spot on. Now it’s time to take a look at Week 9. As always, I’ll be bringing you names at every position that I believe will exceed expectations or fall flat.

Let’s get into the picks.

The Henry Ruggs Situation

By Billy Beaman | November 3, 2021 | Comments Off on The Henry Ruggs Situation

The Las Vegas Raiders have released Henry Ruggs following a fatal car crash and his pending felony DUI charges. Our collective hearts here at Dynasty Football Factory go out to all parties involved but understand many may have questions in the fantasy aftermath of Ruggs’ release. We are truly sensitive to the fact that someone lost their life and others are suffering due to this incident and that this is about far more than this little game we all play called fantasy football, but as a company whose ultimate focus is giving fantasy advice, we feel it’s our responsibility to cover the impact this has on the rest of the players and team. It goes without saying, please do not drink and drive. It’s simply not worth the risk.

Redraft Waiver Wire Grind: Week 9

By Ian Miller | November 3, 2021 | Comments Off on Redraft Waiver Wire Grind: Week 9

Don’t look now but in the last two Jaguars’ games, Jamal Agnew has been the target leader on the team posting a near 20% target share. With DJ Chark out for the year, Laviska Shenault being very disappointing, and still having an aDOT close to the line of scrimmage, Agnew is worth the shot on the waiver wire.

One Week Ahead: Part 8

By Matt Gruber | November 3, 2021 | Comments Off on One Week Ahead: Part 8

After the Atlanta Falcons drafted Kyle Pitts, fellow tight end Hayden Hurst became the forgotten man among the fantasy community. While he hasn’t made too much of an impact, he is still seeing some work in the passing game. Coming off a week eight where he played on 62% of the offensive snaps, Hurst is still seeing the field a good amount.

Week 9 Streamers

By Ike Dirrim | November 3, 2021 | Comments Off on Week 9 Streamers

At this point, you are prepping for the fantasy playoffs. Some of you need to rely on streaming options, and you have done so all season. There is nothing wrong with that, and you should do anything to win your weekly matchup. Some of these names below have been featured in this series in recent weeks. If they did it before, they can do it again. Remember, throughout this series, we will provide the best weekly options to stream at quarterback, tight end, and D/ST.

Adrian Peterson Signed by the Titans: Rapid Reaction

By Jagger May | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Adrian Peterson Signed by the Titans: Rapid Reaction

The Titans are leading their division with a 6-2 record and look to continue their pace despite losing their best player. It’s hard to see them doing that with Adrian Peterson. It’s safe to say that the Titans have been successful because of Derrick Henry. A.J. Brown has only been truly back for the last two weeks and Julio Jones has been non-existent when healthy and has caused the entire aerial attack to fall well below expectations. Couple that with the atrocious defense and you have to wonder if Tennessee is the worst six-win team in the league. Peterson simply isn’t Derrick Henry, who was on pace for another historic season. Don’t get me wrong, Peterson is a legend in his own right, but is no longer the animal he was for the Vikings and shouldn’t be overhyped. He only averaged 3.87 yards a carry with the Lions last season and that should give you a benchmark for his efficiency. You’re looking at a touchdown-dependent short-term option that would only be useful for contending teams needing a plugin while they wait on injured players to return for the fantasy playoffs.

Six Redraft Shares to Watch After Week 8

By Julio Martinez | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Six Redraft Shares to Watch After Week 8

Unless we’re analyzing workhorse running backs or alpha wide receivers, a player’s usage can fluctuate from week to week. Some will shine and some will ruin your week. Remember, targets and opportunities are earned. In this series, I will provide weekly target shares, rushing attempt shares, and snap shares of SIX players (or group of players) to help you understand the value of each of them and decide whether to start ‘em, roster ‘em, or trade ‘em.

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 9

By Tripp Brebner | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 9

“Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire” is written for fantasy football gamers in leagues that require a full complement of 11 defensive starters in leagues of 12 to 16 teams. Recommendations rely on scoring settings from FantasyPros.com, even though their value for passes defensed is low. We’ll look for options at both conventional and true defensive positions as they arise. Players qualifying for this column are those rostered in no more than a third of IDP leagues on MyFantasyLeague.com (MFL). These recommendations further assume you, the manager, have finite roster space with challenging cut decisions to add new names.

DFS week 3

Kyler Murray Injury: Rapid Reaction

By Matthew Ward | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Kyler Murray Injury: Rapid Reaction

Kyler has not produced the video-game level numbers that were projected of him this offseason. Dubbed a “Konami Code” quarterback, Kyler has not rushed for a touchdown since Week 3 against the Jaguars. He has just 147 rushing yards this season, averaging a paltry 18.3 rushing yards per game. Kyler’s once rock-solid rushing upside has crumbled and should continue to decline post-injury.

Rapid Reaction: Jameis Winston Injury

By Matthew Ward | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Rapid Reaction: Jameis Winston Injury

There is a heightened level of emotional attachment that fans and players put into divisional rivalries. The familiarity of foe creates a palatable tension in an already brutal sport. You can feel the electricity in the air every time the Buccaneers enter the Superdome to face the Saints and vice versa. This Sunday was no different.

Week 8 Dynasty Waiver Wire Adds

By Zach Glicksman | November 1, 2021 | Comments Off on Week 8 Dynasty Waiver Wire Adds

The quarterback carousel is in full swing this week as multiple quarterbacks got injured leading to their backups stealing the show. Below you’ll find some quarterbacks to target on your dynasty teams. Some may be more of a dart throw, but others could carve out a nice role for themselves. In dynasty, you can never have too many quarterbacks and when you don’t know the severity of some of these injuries, you could sneakily find yourself rich with quarterback options.

Calvin Ridley Out Indefinitely: Rapid Reaction

By Jagger May | November 1, 2021 | Comments Off on Calvin Ridley Out Indefinitely: Rapid Reaction

Calvin Ridley has decided to step away from football per a statement released on Twitter. It’s already been a disappointing season for a player expected to be a top-10 receiver as the first full season as the Falcons’ WR1. Ridley’s underwhelming season comes from a combination of missing a game for personal reasons and Atlanta, particularly Matt Ryan, underperforming. We’ll break down both the redraft and dynasty impact of the news and how we move forward as the third-year player recovers.

DFS Week 8

By Andrew Rywolt | October 30, 2021 | 0 Comments

Here we go again with another week of football!  This is a week where we have no Kansas City, Arizona, Green Bay, Dallas, or Minnesota on the main slate. Therefore, we have to find some alternative options. So let’s get ready to dig in! Also, don’t forget to create multiple lines and diversify your lineups to prevent unforeseen ‘busts’.

Big Dog Built Different: Derrick Henry’s Road to a Consecutive 2K Yard Season

By Matthew Ward | October 30, 2021 | 0 Comments

Call it an athletic profile if you wish, but Derrick Henry is not like any other NFL athlete at the running back position. Henry is a freight train that runs on the nightmare fuel of would-be tacklers. Comparing the reigning rushing leader to any other running back is akin to comparing a chihuahua to a pit bull. They might be the same animal, but those dogs are built differently.

Rookie Stock Report: Week 8

By Jagger May | October 30, 2021 | Comments Off on Rookie Stock Report: Week 8

Elijah Mitchell continues to dominate the 49ers ‘backfield and is running as efficiently as any player should in this system. Trey Sermon has been relegated to a special teams player and doesn’t seem to be a threat, however, JaMycal Hasty has returned and received 34% of the snaps as the third-down back. This will cap Mitchell’s receiving production but the 49ers have a running scheme that gives its players a chance to score anytime they touch the ball. Mitchell lacks size but has the burst to replicate Raheem Mostert’s production and can actually stay on the field. So far anyway. Mitchell should be considered the second-ranked rookie running back behind only Najee Harris.

IDP Crystal Ball Week 8

By Michael Romero | October 29, 2021 | Comments Off on IDP Crystal Ball Week 8

Your author gives his apologies for not providing this article last week, as the wife needed an unexpected minor surgery. All is well now. As readers know, in this weekly article, we will take a look at a couple of IDP players available in many leagues that appear to show promise or have a foreseeable path to time on the field and production. The hope is that you can acquire these players for free or relatively close to free. It depends on the depth and settings of each individual league. Qualifying players are those available in at least two-thirds of full IDP leagues on MyFantasyLeague.com (MFL).

FFPC Dynasty & Redraft Series: Week 8

By Jared Hines | October 29, 2021 | Comments Off on FFPC Dynasty & Redraft Series: Week 8

The bye-apocalypse last week was a big mountain to climb, but Week 8 is roughly the midpoint of the fantasy season and it is already here. For teams that won’t make the playoffs, it is already past that point. The separation is becoming clearer between contenders, pretenders, and the teams in the middle that are on the verge of a playoff berth. And the walking dead teams. A reminder to FFPC dynasty owners that the magic number for Victory Points (VP) to make the playoffs is 29, according to my research.

IDP Wrap Up: Week 7

By Scott Osterloh | October 29, 2021 | Comments Off on IDP Wrap Up: Week 7

Demario Davis had one of the best games of his career on Monday Night Football this week. The 10-year veteran created 10 total tackles, four TFLs, two sacks, and defended a pass to help beat the Seahawks. A consistent producer for many years, Davis remains a locked-in weekly starter in IDP fantasy football.

Trade Rapid Reaction: Mark Ingram to the Saints

By Joe Memmolo Jr. | October 28, 2021 | Comments Off on Trade Rapid Reaction: Mark Ingram to the Saints

Mark Ingram was a huge part of the Saints’ backfield from 2011 through 2018 so there shouldn’t be much stopping him from feeling at home as soon as he gets there. Ingram himself has not seen enough of a workload over the past year and a half to sniff fantasy relevance. However, is this the chance he needs to spring from the dead and be worthy enough to roster? Or are the main impacts what he’s leaving behind in Houston? Let’s dive in!
