Best Ball Newbie Perspective: Part 1

By Mike Holder | January 15, 2020 | Comments Off on Best Ball Newbie Perspective: Part 1

Fantasy football without the grind of setting a bunch of lineups? That has to be the dream. This past offseason I decided to try some paid best ball contests to see if I could make myself a more well-rounded fantasy player. At DFF, we believe that every aspect of fantasy football bleeds into the others, and thus, I had my motivation to jump in. Plus…it certainly didn’t hurt that drafting is an addiction. Being new to the format, I decided to track all the data I possibly could on my performance/selections. This way, I could maybe help or inspire others who may be new to the format in the future.

A Look Back and Forward: 10 Biggest Busts Part 2

By Tyler Justin Karp | January 13, 2020 | Comments Off on A Look Back and Forward: 10 Biggest Busts Part 2

In part one of this article, I chose five players from the top 50 in ADP that I considered to be busts in 2019. In part two, I will select five players from ADP between 51-150. When choosing my busts, I will try to avoid players that missed a few games but were otherwise successful when they played, so you haven’t and won’t see Saquon Barkley or Alvin Kamara type players on the list. Injuries are hard to predict, so it’s better to look at guys who flopped even when they were on the field. Similar to the values section, the individual players are important, but general trends and strategy advice will also be included below. As in part one, Yahoo’s final half PPR ADP is the source for the below ADP numbers.

A Look Back and Forward: 10 Biggest Busts (Part 1)

By Tyler Justin Karp | January 11, 2020 | Comments Off on A Look Back and Forward: 10 Biggest Busts (Part 1)

In my previous two-part article, I looked at the 10 best draft values from the 2019 redraft season and how much they impacted fantasy teams. Also, I predicted the future and examined whether those players would live up to the same performance in 2020 and whether they would return good value in 2020. However, as most fantasy owners know, identifying busts is just as crucial to success and failure in fantasy football as picking players on the rise. In this two-part article, I will name the 10 biggest busts from the 2019 redraft season. In part one, I will choose five players from the top 50 in ADP, and in part two, I will select five players from ADP between 51-150.

A Look Back and Forward: 10 Best Values (Part 2)

By Tyler Justin Karp | January 9, 2020 | Comments Off on A Look Back and Forward: 10 Best Values (Part 2)

In this two-part article, I’m taking a look at the 10 best draft values from the 2019 redraft season. I started by choosing five players from the top 50 in ADP in part one, found here, and now I’ll pick five players from the rest of the draft in part two. As in part one, I will be using Yahoo’s final half PPR ADP. In addition to revisiting how these players performed in 2019, I will also briefly touch on what I expect going forward into 2020. I’ll limit eligible players to the top 150 and might examine the best waiver wire wonders in a future piece.

Linebacker Prospect Draft Watch

By Darrell Winstead | January 9, 2020 | Comments Off on Linebacker Prospect Draft Watch

With college bowl season in full swing and I continue to dig deep into my draft prep, I thought I would take the time to go over some of the potential prospects at the linebacker position. Keep in mind, this is just who I have watched to this point so far. As I watch more game film and prospects, I will update this list accordingly.

DraftKings: Wild Card Weekend Breakdown

By Warren Kiessling | January 3, 2020 | Comments Off on DraftKings: Wild Card Weekend Breakdown

On the eve of Wild Card Weekend, I’ll provide a quick break down of all the players I think you can consider in your DraftKings lineups for the full four-game slate. You can also use it accordingly for the two-game slates if you’re playing those as well. On a slate like this, build yourself a narrative about how you believe the games will go. More often than not, there’s no need to get super-weird and roster an entire lineup of off-the-board plays. It’s more beneficial to build a lineup with upside and then identify a few players that you believe are in far better spots than the rest of the field based on your narrative. On small playoff slates, rostering just one very low-owned player or fading a chalky one you don’t like can jump you over huge chunks of the field in GPPs. Quarterbacks Top Tier Drew Brees ($6,600): For me, it’s death, taxes, and rostering Drew Brees at home. He’ll likely be the highest owned quarterback on the slate and I’ll still have more than the average. Since Week 1 of 2018, Brees has made 13 starts at home and is averaging over 27.5 DraftKings points per game over this span. He’s too cheap for what he brings in this spot. Middle Tier Russell Wilson ($6,800): Were he not priced higher than Brees, he might have made the upper tier. But as it is, he’s hard to pay up for. The argument here is that with a decimated backfield and injuries mounting on the defensive side of the […]
