Three Running Backs I Love in Dynasty 2020

Dynasty / By /

Running backs come and go quickly in the NFL these days. On average their careers last roughly three years and it’s impossible to predict when an injury will end a season for one player and start it for the next. In this article, I’ll be diving into metrics that show you why I love these three backs who will exceed your expectations going into 2020 after breaking out last season. You need to have an RB1 that can handle the rigors of the season, produce with limited carries, and avoid contact in order to avoid injury.  Our fantasy expectation has to shift from the total number of carries per game and more towards the total number of touches. The following are examples of running backs I love in dynasty formats.

Kyler Murray: No Need To Worry 

Dynasty / By /

Some dynasty owners have raised concerns about Kyler Murray’s ability to succeed at the NFL level. He ranked 27th in touchdown rate (3.7%) and threw 12 interceptions to 20 touchdowns. While he finished as the fantasy QB7, he had one of the lowest FPPG (18.82 ppg) out of the top 10 quarterbacks. Murray owners know how inconsistent he was last year,

In the Scope: Week 12

Uncategorized / By /

With Week 12 of the NFL and fantasy football regular season just on the horizon, matchups are more season-decisive than ever.Name and draft value no longer matter. Instead, it’s simply outscoring your opponent with whatever means necessary.If it means picking a lesser-valued player off the waivers and throwing him in your lineup to win games, so be it. At least at the end of the day, you can say you tried.That’s what this week’s “In the Scope” targets are focused on. Players, who still won’t be seen as priority claims, but are players you can stick in your lineup over the next two weeks and help you vie for a spot in the fantasy football playoffs come Week 14.So, as always, here are your Week 12 “In the Scope” candidates who have the potential to be next week’s priority waiver claims.

The Waiver Wire: Week 9 (Updated)

Dynasty / By /

After Week 8 had just two teams on bye, Week 9 sees four teams with the week off. The Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Rams, and New Orleans Saints are all off this week along with some high powered fantasy assets. This week’s waiver wire isn’t the strongest so you may want to be a bit frugal. If you don’t have any pressing needs this would be a good week to hold on to your FAAB bucks or your waiver priority. There are some deeper options though if you’re in need. Let’s get to it.

Factory Divisional Nuggets: NFC West #2

Dynasty / By /

Jimmy G is starting to look like the guy the 49ers brought in from the Patriots, who just found ways to win games. You might not think he’s showing flashy numbers on the fantasy stat sheets, but his play is approaching what we believe he can be. You can’t argue the fact that he just wins games! He’s QB7 in completion percentage, at 69%, which is even better than the end of season explosion upon his arrival in Santa Clara. Currently a QB2 in fantasy production, the arrow is pointing up as he continues to build back up his time under center, and his rapport with a relatively inexperienced WR corps. He’s clutch! But can he really be a QB1? I feel he is a high-end QB2, and that is what he is.
