Redraft Team Focus: Raiders

By Tyler Justin Karp | June 13, 2020 | Comments Off on Redraft Team Focus: Raiders

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. 

Redraft SF/TE Premium Mock Draft: TE Strategy

By Tyler Justin Karp | June 12, 2020 | Comments Off on Redraft SF/TE Premium Mock Draft: TE Strategy

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.

Redraft Team Focus: Lions

By Tyler Justin Karp | June 11, 2020 | Comments Off on Redraft Team Focus: Lions

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. I’ll reference my PPR redraft rankings at the time of writing. Let’s jump into the Lions.

Redraft SF/TE Prem Mock Draft: QB Strategy

By Tyler Justin Karp | June 7, 2020 | Comments Off on Redraft SF/TE Prem Mock Draft: QB Strategy

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.

The Anti-Baker Take

By Tyler Justin Karp | June 5, 2020 | Comments Off on The Anti-Baker Take

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.

The Pro-Baker Take

By Zach Glicksman | June 5, 2020 | Comments Off on The Pro-Baker Take

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.

Don’t Sleep on Jordan Howard

By Billy Beaman | May 31, 2020 | Comments Off on Don’t Sleep on Jordan Howard

Jordan Howard seems to be the black sheep running back of the NFL and the dynasty/fantasy community. I see very little love out there in the Twitterverse for the former top 10 back and I’m certain dynasty owners have found it difficult to move him for any reasonable value. Admittedly, it’s not a great situation for teams rebuilding, but it is a window of opportunity for contenders to take advantage of.

Redraft Team Focus: Browns

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 28, 2020 | Comments Off on Redraft Team Focus: Browns

I see Chubb as very similar to Derrick Henry. Chubb had 298 carries in 2018 compared to Henry’s 303, so they were close in carry count. The significant differences were that Chubb had 36 receptions while Henry had only 18, but Henry scored 18 total touchdowns to Chubb’s eight. I think the Browns’ offense will be better overall than the Titans’, so Chubb should improve his touchdown total in 2020. While I do expect Chubb to lose a lot of receiving production, I think he could have around 25 catches in 2019, which isn’t bad. Also, the Browns replaced horrific head coach Freddie Kitchens with Kevin Stefanski, who ran the Vikings’ run-heavy attack behind Dalvin Cook in 2019.

Redraft Team Focus: Panthers

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 27, 2020 | Comments Off on Redraft Team Focus: Panthers

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.

The Anti-Juju Take

By Zach Glicksman | May 23, 2020 | Comments Off on The Anti-Juju Take

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. 

The Pro-JuJu Take

By Tyler Justin Karp | May 23, 2020 | Comments Off on The Pro-JuJu Take

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.

DFF Army Redraft Mock Wrap-Up

By dffactory | May 21, 2020 | Comments Off on DFF Army Redraft Mock Wrap-Up

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.

2020 Enticing IDP Strength of Schedules

By Scott Osterloh | May 20, 2020 | Comments Off on 2020 Enticing IDP Strength of Schedules

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.
