Dynasty Analysis
I’m analyzing every one of the 32 NFL teams and all of their redraft-relevant fantasy assets in this article series. It’s a long project, but I want to make sure that you, the reader, have something you can refer to for every team. For each article, I’ll split up the fantasy assets into three categories: high-end assets, usable contributors, and dart throws. Let’s jump into the Colts.

Carr wasn’t as bad as some might think in 2019, as he finished as the QB14, ahead of players like Baker Mayfield, Kirk Cousins, and Philip Rivers. However, because he played all 16 games while some other quarterbacks missed games, he only finished 22nd with 15.3 fantasy PPG, which is not impressive. The Raiders also signed Marcus Mariota to a significant contract to back up Carr, which demonstrates that they don’t completely trust him. Carr is only a streamer with no upside, and he’s my QB26.
There’s a big strategic difference between Superflex and tight end premium. Superflex requires or at least allows an extra starter at the quarterback position. Since quarterbacks score far more fantasy points than any other position, it almost always makes sense to start a second quarterback in that slot.
On the other hand, tight ends score the least of all the main fantasy positions. It’s possible to use a 2TE format to force fantasy owners to value tight ends. However, there are barely 12 fantasy-relevant tight ends in the league, let alone 24. Forcing people to start 24 tight ends every week isn’t a fair or viable fantasy format, in my view. It introduces even more randomness, as the bottom tight ends are wholly touchdown-dependent players.

We saw four quarterbacks get drafted in the 1st round of the 2020 NFL draft. While all have aspirations to be the face of their respective franchises, all have very different avenues to get there. In this article, I lay out each of these QB’s paths to their starting role, and when I expect them […]
I’m back to the dynasty side of writing with a brand-new series on dynasty buys at the wide receiver position. In this series, we’re going to look at three groups of three players: the buy-highs, the underrated, mid-range veterans, and the deep dives. Let’s start with three buy-high players. These guys are all already expensive in dynasty leagues, but I believe that you should pay the premium cost, as they have room to grow even further in value over the next year.

Prologue On May 2nd, 2020 I received a message on Twitter from my boss at Dynasty Football Factory. I was a little nervous at first–I had only joined this amazing team two months prior. I was also exhausted and still recovering from the marathon that was the “Rapid Reaction: 2020 NFL Draft Landing Spot” series […]

Recently, the DFF team and I participated in a PPR, superflex, 1.5 PPR tight end premium redraft mock. Unlike our previous mock draft breakdowns, I’m not planning to go team-by-team and discuss how much I like each roster. However, I’ll reference my team, which I drafted from the 1.05 slot, as a basis for my general thoughts. The point of this exercise was to look at quarterback value and tight end value in this format and draw conclusions about strategy. In this first part, I’ll discuss how to handle the quarterback position in redraft superflex leagues, compared to both dynasty superflex and redraft 1QB formats.
Before the NFL Draft, I thought Lynn Bowden Jr. would be used as a slot receiver in the NFL, considering how dominant and explosive he was as a sophomore leading the Kentucky Wildcats receivers. I wrote a pre-draft profile on Bowden, highlighting his ability and potential as a pass-catcher. However, shortly after being drafted by the Raiders in the 3rd round, they have announced Bowden will be a RB. After breaking down Lynn Bowden Jr, as a pass-catcher back in January, I will now break him down as a ball carrier, and give some insight on the fantasy impact you can expect from him in 2020 and beyond.
The Carolina Panthers signed Omar Bayless, wide receive out of Arkansas State University as a high-priority undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft.

Unfortunately for fantasy owners, this is another one of those fantasy black holes. It’s time to look at the unfortunate situation that is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Kansas City Chiefs signed Kalija Lipscomb, Wide Receiver, out of Vanderbilt University as a high-priority undrafted free agent.
In this debate series, @DFF_Ztrain and I have broken down two different players so far, Derrius Guice and JuJu Smith-Schuster. You can find links at the bottom of this article if you want to read our previous work. Now, let’s jump into Baker Mayfield. I get the negative side this time, as I don’t love Mayfield or his situation in 2020. Here come the knives.
This is the third installment of our redraft value debates where @DFF_Karp and I go through some fantasy players that we feel differently about. This article will go into depth on Baker Mayfield, I’ll be telling you why he is a top 10 option at the position while @DFF_Karp will be taking the anti-Baker approach.
The Packers signed Darrell Stewart, Wide Receiver, out of Michigan State University. He was an undrafted free agent after the 2020 NFL Draft.
In this series, I’m looking at the backup quarterback landscape with a focus on dynasty superflex formats. In those leagues, having a starting quarterback is extremely valuable, and backups are one step away. Therefore, depending on league size, anywhere from a few to all the backup quarterbacks in the league are rostered. Keep in mind that these backups are the backup in dynasty value, not necessarily the backup on the NFL depth chart.
With superflex leagues taking the fantasy world by storm the last couple years, quarterbacks have gone from a streaming position to vital assets just like the real franchises we imitate. Use what we have seen from QBs in their rookie seasons to your advantage. In this article, I hope to shed light on the quarterbacks I expect to have a sophomore breakout.
The New England Patriots signed Jeff Thomas, Wide Receiver, out of the University of Miami (FL) as an undrafted free agent following the NFL Draft.
The Saints signed Marquez Callaway, wide receiver out of the University of Tennessee. He was an undrafted free agent in the 2020 NFL Draft.
