Dynasty Analysis
Despite the Panthers’ poor quarterback play in 2019 from Cam Newton, Kyle Allen, and Will Grier, Moore flourished. He had 87 receptions on 135 targets for 1,175 yards and four touchdowns, and he finished just behind McCaffrey in targets and led the Panthers in receiving yards. Moore was the WR16 in 2019 in 15 games and averaged 15.4 PPR points per game, 16th among wide receivers.
I wasn’t joking when I said I leaned heavily on rookie picks in the DFF Factory Workers’ Dynasty League. I also chose to lean heavily on wide receivers in the rookie draft as I mostly faded them in the start-up. My starting receivers are Allan Robinson, Brandin Cooks, and Marquise Brown. Not a sexy group by any means but Robinson is the real deal and I’ll stand by that. Cooks and Brown are boom/bust type players but Cooks is still just 26 years old in a really good situation as the lead wide receiver for Deshaun Watson in Houston.
In this article series, I’m analyzing every one of the 32 NFL teams and all of their redraft-relevant fantasy assets. 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. If you want to read my previous work in this series, the full list with links is at the bottom of the article. Let’s jump into the Jets.
It’s time for the second article of my Dynasty Debates series, which tries to break down popular debates in the dynasty community. Last time I discussed Josh Jacobs and if he can be an elite fantasy option. Today I will discuss a prevalent debate of who do you want going forward: Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson?
In this article, @DFF_Karp and I will dig into the debate on Juju Smith-Schuster’s value for redraft leagues. @DFF_Karp is ready to lock him in as a high-end wide receiver two while I am proceeding with an abundance of caution.
Last time in this debate series, @DFF_Ztrain and I broke down the two-sided Derrius Guice debate. He took the side of a third-year breakout for Guice while I took the side that Guice will be a 2020 redraft bust. This time, we’re going to debate JuJu Smith-Schuster. I get the positive outlook this time since I’m going to tell you why I believe Smith-Schuster will return to the WR1 ranks and why I’ll have lots of shares of him in redraft.

Mock drafts are the best way to prepare for your real drafts. Practice makes perfect, and coming to your draft prepared is the best way to ensure you’ll be happy with your team coming out of a draft. The importance of mocks can’t be understated. Some fantasy players won’t even look at the research and will trust a cheat sheet they download minutes before the draft or even the rankings in the draft that they are doing. Trust your own rankings and thoughts on players at the end of the day do your homework. Don’t rely on what you are told or what is on the list during the draft. Fantasy is fun and one of the best ways to stay informed on where players will go in your drafts is by doing mocks.
In this series, we analyze the IDP strength-of-schedule for the 2020 NFL season. In IDP fantasy football, opportunity correlates to production, so today we’ll focus on pace-of-play / plays-per-game that a few lucky defenses will face (based on 2019 data). Let’s take a look at the defenses and IDP defenders who could benefit from their schedule.

I’ve loved the “Dead to Me” series of articles. It’s provided an excellent way to create redraft content throughout the offseason and take a closer look at the week-to-week effectiveness of one or two players at a time. By going in-depth and zooming in, we can discover how these players have been hurting your fantasy redraft teams for multiple years. After the 2020 NFL Draft, there are a bunch of new players that are now dead to me in redraft. I already looked at Marlon Mack as a primary victim of the NFL Draft. Now, it’s time for another player who’s now dead in my eyes because of the NFL Draft, Kerryon Johnson.
@DFF_Karp and I are breaking down the Derrius Guice debate for 2020 redraft formats. I’ll be giving you information as to why I believe Guice is a great “bang-for-the-buck” running back to target in your redraft leagues. Meanwhile, @DFF_Karp will be telling you why he will not be drafting Derrius Guice at his current average […]
While I don’t like to call any player “injury-prone,” Guice has been through countless injuries in just two years in the NFL. He’s hurt his ACL, hamstring, meniscus, and MCL so far and cannot seem to stay on the field. In general, I prefer to avoid these types of players; I require them to prove they can stay healthy before I take a chance on them. Unlike other players returning, Guice has never played a long stretch of healthy games in the NFL, so I have no template for what a healthy Guice would be.

Late Round 2 and it’s another easy decision for me. Bryan Edwards is my WR5 in this class, so I hit the draft button before I could even field offers. Like Reagor, Edwards checks all the boxes for me. On film, his catch radius and strength at 6’3 212 pounds are evident. He regularly wins in contested catch situations, making him “open” even when he isn’t truly open.

This article will be a reaction to the release of the 2020 NFL schedule. Most of all, I’m excited that we have a schedule. I’m looking forward to the return of football in September, and this schedule makes it feel more real. Specifically, I’ll go through the two things that matter the most in redraft formats: bye weeks and early-season schedules.
It’s been two weeks since the NFL draft was completed and fantasy drafts have been in full swing ever since. In this article, I want to take a look at and break down what I have been seeing in the data I have collected to date. I have compiled a spreadsheet to track all the completed IDP rookie drafts that I can find. As of today, I have 30 league drafts entered and there has been some interesting information that I would like to pass along to you for any upcoming drafts you might have
Tannehill was a revelation in 2019. From the moment he took over in Week 7, he was a fantasy stud, averaging 22.5 fantasy points per game in his 10 starts. He was the QB3 during that period, finding success both through the air and on the ground. He completed 69.6% of his passes for 2,598 yards and 22 touchdowns while throwing only five interceptions.
