Dynasty Analysis
I took my advice albeit it is a mock draft and took Lamar Jackson with the 1.10 in this 12-team mock redraft. In this breakdown, I will give you a little synopsis on my thoughts and why I took said player.

Gronk is back! I feel like I needed to get that out of the way. If anybody doesn’t know, on April 21st, Gronkowski came out of retirement. Everything moved at a breakneck pace on that day. First, Ian Rapoport reported that Gronkowski wanted to unretire and join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. A few hours later, the Buccaneers and Patriots agreed on a trade to send Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick for a fourth-round pick. Soon after that, Gronkowski officially passed a physical, which finalized the deal. Therefore, Gronkowski had gone from retired in the morning to officially part of the Buccaneers in just a few hours.
Simmons has the skills and experience to be a star at the next level. The former Clemson star posted a sub 4.4 forty at the combine, which pushed his expected draft position into the top 10. A player who can be used in dozens of situations (see snap tracker below), there are defensive coordinators throughout the league salivating at the chance to work with Simmons.

Still more than four months out from peak redraft season, and surrounded by 11 other writers, editors, and podcasters – this is my mock draft diary from the elusive seventh selection using an RB-heavy approach.
Coming out of college, NFL.com had Harry as a guy that would win contested catch opportunities outside the numbers, could body up opponents, and win with ball skills. Looking back at Harry’s 12 catches, these traits stick out. Harry only played seven games. Even in limited games, he wasn’t targeted nearly enough to be a factor in the New England offense last season.

It’s Time!!!! Part 3 of our NFL Mock is finally …
@WillieBeamanDFF discusses taking on DFF’s Early Off-Season Redraft Mock with a dual-threat mindset.
In 2019, I wrote a weekly column for @DFF_Redraft giving QB, TE, and D/ST streamers each week of the fantasy season. To qualify as a potential streamer, a player needed to be 40% owned or less, according to ESPN’s ownership percentage data. In this three-piece series, I’m looking back at how I did with predicting each category of streamer. In this part, it’s time to look at the D/STs.

Jonnu Smith and Noah Fant appeared in my column four times each. In those eight appearances, there was just one hit, when Smith finished as the TE3 in Week 8. Other than that, they finished outside of the top 20 each additional time I recommended streaming them. Considering that Fant finished as the TE14 and Smith as the TE19 for the 2019 season, perhaps some of this was just variance. They weren’t bad recommendations in general, but they didn’t hit the weeks that I selected them as streamers.
We’re back with Part 2 and immediately get some excitement with our first skill player of the mock. CeeDee Lamb goes to the Jets at pick 11. There was some consideration here between a wide receiver and an offensive tackle, but I have a feeling the Jets will be in play when the draft rolls around for Washington Redskins’ Trent Williams.
In this three-piece series, I’m going to look back at how I did with predicting each category of streamer, starting with quarterbacks. To qualify as a potential streamer, a player needed to be 40% owned or less, according to ESPN’s ownership percentage data.
This is Part II of this series of articles covering draft props for defensive players in the 2020 NFL Draft, slated to begin April 23, 2020. In this article, we’ll be analyzing each position group and making predictions on the prop bets for how many of each position are selected in the draft. I’ve already covered my predictions for the offensive props in Part I.
In this series, we analyze rookie IDP prospects by position group, giving you insight into where players will be selected and the pros and cons of each prospect’s game. Today, we’ll focus on the defensive linemen. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the first round NFL IDP prospects at defensive line.
In this series of articles, I’m looking at rookies from the 2019 class that can be removed from your taxi squads to make room for 2020 rookies. These are players that all have little to no dynasty value, but dynasty owners selected in at least some 2019 rookie drafts. This is the quarterback edition.
The biggest name still on the market for the cornerbacks has to be Logan Ryan. He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round, as the 83rd selection overall of the 2013 NFL Draft. Ryan spent the first four seasons of his career with the Patriots before he hit free agency and signed with the Tennessee Titans.
Today we’re going to have a little fun and do a mock draft for the NFL but with fantasy implications. Trading draft picks is one of the hardest things to predict, so for this initial draft, we’re going to exclude trades for now. Today we’ll look at picks 1-10, who we think each team will take, and the fantasy impact from these signings.
The biggest name still on the market for the defensive side has to be Everson Griffen. He was the fourth round selection, 100th pick overall in the 2010 NFL Draft, of the Minnesota Vikings. Griffen has spent his entire ten-year career with the Vikings.
In this series of articles, I’m looking at rookies from the 2019 class that can be removed from your taxi squads to make room for 2020 rookies. These are players that all have little to no dynasty value, but those dynasty owners selected in at least some 2019 rookie drafts. I’ll reference my 2019 rookie rankings from late May to give an idea of where I valued these players. My rankings are for a 1 QB, PPR format.
Brandin Cooks has found his way onto his fourth team in a matter of five years with the latest Houston deal in the NFL.
It should be noted that Kingsbury’s offense wouldn’t be able to do the same things without a player like Murray. Josh Rosen wouldn’t be breaking off big runs and creating a ton of separation for his receivers with his legs. Murray allows the team to play an entirely different style than they could with other quarterbacks. Would Murray have been on track to be so successful if he had landed with another team? Who knows, but we can be sure he probably wouldn’t have gotten the same opportunity in such a strong situation.
