Welcome to another edition of DFS with Doug. After a season full of miserable totals, we have a couple of games over the 50-point mark! We are missing a couple of games this week thanks to a three-game slate on Saturday, but with no teams on bye, we still have ten games to choose from. I’m excited to jump into it, so let’s do it!
Omarion Hampton went to Cleveland High School in Clayton, North Carolina. MaxPreps ranked Cleveland High School 10th in North Carolina during his senior season. Hampton totaled 1,948 yards on 161 carries; with that, he scored 39 rushing touchdowns. In the receiving game, he had 11 receptions with 272 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Across his four years in high school, he had only four fumbles. According to 247 Sports, as a recruit, Hampton ranked 134th overall, 11th as a running back, and third in North Carolina. According to Campus2Canton, his athletic profile finished in the 72nd percentile, with notable athletic comparisons to Darrel Williams and Chris Rodriguez.
Welcome back to another edition of DFS with Doug. We have a lot to get to on this slate, but I do want to take a minute to enjoy some flowers. This past Monday Night, I was able to take down an 89.2K lineup Showdown GPP, resulting in a 7,650% ROI for the contest. I will post the screenshot of the aforementioned lineup at the bottom for those wanting to enjoy my moment with me. For now, we have a Week 14 slate that we need to attack full of some fantastic game environments and great value plays. So, let’s get to it!
Born in Chatsworth, GA, Ladd McConkey, the 6-foot, 185 lbs wide receiver, is wrapping up his Junior season at the University of Georgia. McConkey redshirted his freshman season in 2020, spending time with the scout team before making a mark as a key player for the Georgia Bulldogs.
CeeDee Lamb, the standout wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, is not just a key contributor to their success but a rising force in the realm of Dynasty Fantasy Football. In this analysis, we’ll scrutinize his career trajectory and statistics, comparing them with the elite talents of Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. As we delve into the numbers, it becomes evident that Lamb is not only holding his own but is poised to join the upper echelons of Dynasty Wide Receivers.
Hailing from East St. Louis Senior High School in Illinois, Luther Burden entered the college scene with a reputation that preceded him. A 5-star recruit, he wasted no time making an impact. Over two high school seasons, Burden displayed his prowess by hauling in 101 passes for an eye-popping 1832 yards, punctuated by an impressive 23 touchdowns. His versatility knew no bounds as he seamlessly transitioned from being an offensive juggernaut to the team’s primary kickoff and punt specialist. High school stats, meticulously tracked by MaxPreps, showcased Burden’s multidimensional skill set as he returned 21 punts for an astounding 852 yards, finding the end zone on eight electrifying occasions.
Dobbs is coming off his worst game of the season. There is a very real possibility the Vikings start a QB other than Dobbs in the Fantasy playoffs. So, hedge this bet by picking up Nick Mullens. However, what we do know is Kevin O’Connell is going to pass no matter who his QB is. Despite losing Cousins, the Vikings remain fourth in the NFL in passing yards. What complicates this further is there are three quarterbacks in the mix. If I had to rank them right now, it would be 1. Josh Dobbs, 2. Nick Mullens, 3. Jaren Hall. Dobbs has the biggest fantasy upside and is a potential league winner due to his rushing acumen. Dobbs has averaged 19.12 fantasy points per game in his four games with Minnesota. This has been without the NFL’s best wide receiver, Justin Jefferson, who returns after this week.

It’s “Bye-apocalypse” Part 2. We’re short key stable options this week. It’s officially December and that means updated DFS NFL odds and the final month of the Dynasty Fantasy Football season. So, just like last time, we’re cutting back on the sits and only doing two sits per position. It’s time for our ~FREE~ Week 13 edition of Dynasty Start/Sits!
In dynasty, the WR position is constantly in flux. It changes like the wind. One week, Ceedee Lamb isn’t even a top-five dynasty WR, and the next, he’s knocking on Chase and Jefferson’s door, asking if there’s room for one more in the top tier. With that in mind, it’s important to do some of your own evaluating so that you aren’t constantly blown to and fro by the increasingly volatile market.
In high school, McMillan was a two-way player on the football field, playing wide receiver and defensive back. On the offensive side, McMillan hauled 179 receptions, 2,640 yards, and 34 touchdowns over three varsity seasons for Servite High School in California. As a senior in 2021, McMillan was named the Polynesian High School Football Player of the Year and was a finalist for Gatorade National Football Player of the Year.
Lockett has an impressive streak of five straight WR 2 or better (Top 24) Fantasy points per game seasons. He currently sits at WR28 on the season. He has been a victim of sub-par QB play, added target competition, and a tough pass defense schedule to date. The last part of this finally lightens up for the playoffs with an incredible slate of games for a Fantasy wide receiver. This also holds true for D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but since they both will cost first-round Dynasty draft capital, they likely aren’t acquirable on a tight budget.

Injuries are inevitable in Dynasty Fantasy Football. How you prepare and react to them can make or break your Dynasty team. Did you build a bench with sufficient depth to withstand the running back injury carousel? How do you pivot if a key player goes on Injured Reserve? Each week we look at the most impactful injuries in the Fantasy world and what players will step up their Fantasy production.
This is the second consecutive week Wicks has made our list, but it needs to be reiterated as the rookie continues to produce while flying under the radar. As we mentioned last week, the usage has not been there (less than 50% snaps played since Christian Watson returned), but the efficiency has certainly been there. Dontayvion has made his presence known every time he steps onto the field, making one explosive play after another.

Welcome back for Part 2 of 3 in this “Devy TE Landscape” series. If you missed Part 1, be sure to check that out here. Part 1 covered my Top 5 ranked tight ends that are eligible for the 2024 NFL draft. In Part 2, we’ll cover my 6th-10th ranked tight ends in this draft class, and Part 3 will cover which underclassmen we should be paying attention to in Devy regarding the tight end position. Let’s pick up where we left off with my TE #6 in the class!
We all know the tight end position is the most difficult to get right in fantasy football, and we also understand the substantial advantage one has when owning one of the few “league-breaking” tight ends in fantasy (especially in tight end premium leagues). There are many names to comb through and analyze in college football, so I will be breaking this into three parts. For Parts 1 and 2, I will give you my Top 10 TEs that are draft-eligible in 2024 (the first five in Part 1 and the next five in Part 2). In Part 3, I’ll discuss which young tight ends we should invest in for Devy leagues in the 2025 and 2026 Draft classes. So, without further ado, let’s find those tight ends that could make an impact at the NFL level.
The downside of watching Panthers and Bears on Thursday Night Football is having to watch the Panthers and Bears on Thursday Night Football. The upside is not having another sub-40 total on this week’s main Sunday slate. This week, the island games eliminate teams like the Panthers, Bears, Patriots, and Jets from the main slate. Totals are still down quite a bit from previous seasons, thanks to scoring being down. We do have a couple of spots that I am excited to attack, though, so let’s get into it!
Hello, and welcome to another great DFF article. In this piece, I will be looking at a large majority of the WRs in the NFL and dissecting their performances so far this season. I will be looking at all WRs who have played 200 or more snaps this season. I used PlayerProfiler.com’s Data Analysis package to pull stats like Target Share, Target Rate, and Yards per Route Run for these players. Then, I sorted them from worst to best, and I will highlight anything that I thought was interesting. Hopefully, we can use this to identify buys and sells, as well as fraudulent producers, which players are really good, and which are really bad. Let’s dive right into the numbers.

Every week, I tell you guys about how the slates can’t possibly get any more gross, and every week it is worse. We have a few more teams on bye and some premium offenses on island games or at 7:30 AM MT, forcing me to set an early alarm to watch the Dolphins and Chiefs. We also have an epidemic of backup quarterbacks playing this week, making things extremely gross. Some of the guys who could be starting at quarterback this week include Clayton Tune, Tyson Bagent, Jaren Hall, Taylor Hienicke, Brett Rypien, Zach Wilson, Gardener Minshew, and Aiden O’Connell. On a 10-game slate like this one, that’s 40% of our quarterbacks, which is tough to stomach.

Looking for the Puka Nacua of the 2024 draft class? More than likely, that player doesn’t exist, as Nacua is putting up numbers we’ve never seen from a rookie, let alone a Day 3 draft pick. But, if you’re looking for a projected late-round rookie pick with massive upside, look no further than Colorado State WR Tory Horton. Not many Devy players are talking about him, but he’s quietly had one of the more productive collegiate careers in this 2024 class. Not playing for a Power 5 program has resulted in Horton flying under the radar. Most Devy ranking sites don’t have Tory’s name listed at all. But Horton has been a producer since his early days at Nevada, and he’s developed into arguably a top-ten WR in this class.
