Dynasty Buy and Sell: Week 6

Dynasty / By /

It is time for you to be real with your roster. Are you a top-four team with a legit chance to win? Are you a middle-of-the-road team that has been hit with the injury bug? If not, you should be selling. Do not get stuck with aging Dynasty assets if you are not a contender.  With that, let’s dive right into my top four “buys” and “sells” from a Dynasty.

4 Biggest Dynasty Story Lines: Week 7

Dynasty / By /

The NFL season rolls on into Week 7 and kicks off with a huge game in Chicago. More on that later. Believe it or not, Week 7 will mark the halfway point of those leagues that start their playoffs in Week 15. I know. I know. Nothing like the fantasy football season to remind us all of the unforgiving and relentless passage of time. But anyway, I will cut the morbidity. We have a great slate this week, starting with a great contest between two of the league’s brightest and best. Let’s get into it.

C2C Waiver Report: Post Week 7

All Access, C2C, College Fantasy / By /

Week 7 gave us several interesting players to attack on the C2C waiver wire. We have a running back producing as both a runner and receiver, a quarterback creating opportunities with his legs, and a couple of tight ends becoming reliable campus options. The approach stays the same. Win the campus side first, then look at C2C appreciation, youth, and ceiling. Every recommendation assumes a $100 C2C FAAB budget.

The Assembly Line, Vol. 9: Dynasty Football Factory Newsletter

All Access, C2C, College Fantasy, Devy, Dynasty / By /

We’re almost a third of the way through the 2026 season, and this season has been about as unpredictable and injury-riddled as I can remember. Jalen Hurts is the latest big-name player to find himself on the injury list (get well soon, Jalen), and last week we were without Lamar Jackson. Hopefully, neither injury keeps them out long. Whether you’re trying to find your replacement QB or looking for a bye week fill-in, as always, the DFF Crew has you covered. Let’s get after it!

C2C Control Room Players to Watch

All Access, C2C, College Fantasy / By /

Welcome to my first series in about four years! The goal is to spotlight a few players each week I’m watching or adding to my C2C rosters who I think are buried deep in your Fantrax player pools. But first, a little about myself and why I think I’m the perfect person to find those diamonds in the rough.

​My name is Joe Memmolo Jr and I’m a Co-Owner/Director of Technology at Dynasty Football Factory. I’m mostly known for no longer writing articles, but for building the Control Room, which should be exactly the app you’re reading right now! Now you’re asking yourself, why is this guy qualified to write about C2C diamonds in the rough? It’s a great question, and I’ve played C2C for only half a year at this point, so it’s extremely valid. But I bring a mind for data and trend analysis, plus a passion for winning. Everything I’m going to put into these articles is backed by real data and analysis that I’m using to test out a future capability for the Control Room: The Campus Control Center.

​This also isn’t the first time I’ve used data analysis to back fantasy sports decision-making. I played fantasy basketball back in 2017-2019 and created macros in Excel to scrape data from ESPN and effectively build teams that became the best in specific category combinations and find the best values in the draft and free agency. To me, college football, even with all its week-to-week chaos, is no different. So with that, let’s talk about some of the players I’ve called out in the past and identify how the Control Room has helped me identify valuable players to this point.

4 Biggest Dynasty Story Lines: Week 6

Dynasty / By /

Week 5 is in the books, and we’re officially a third of the way through the season. While Week 5 will be remembered for Mike Evans mogging Trevon Diggs, Week 6 is the first bye-pocalypse of the season. When the byes and injuries pile up, we have to make lineup decisions that make your skin crawl. With those bad decisions in mind, we start with a huge trade involving a former 1.01 pick. Here are the biggest Dynasty storylines in Week 6.

Hammer’s DFS Hammers: NFL Week 5

All Access, Strategy Content / By /

Welcome to Week 5, which is one of my favorite weeks. Why? We now have four weeks of proof points and data to paint a picture of who a team is, and what players’ roles are becoming. It’s an opportunity to start forming conclusions based on this season rather than heavily relying on data from last year and the summer. That said, it’s shaped up as quite a strange main slate for Sunday. There aren’t many games that scream for points to be scored, and there also aren’t many QB spots that stand out. However, I do see some hidden opportunity in some of the matchups, especially those with smaller totals that some might overlook for DFS. There is also a higher point total game that I will be building my own lineups around.

2026 Dynasty Vet Values: Volume 2

All Access, Dynasty / By /

Welcome back, Dynasty Football managers! Throughout the season, it’s essential to continually evaluate rosters to determine which players to trade for or cut ties with. With that, it’s time for Volume 2 of Dynasty Vet Values for 2026. In this series, I’ll be analyzing veteran players who are excellent targets for your contending teams based on current Dynasty market value and perhaps an NFL weekly Pick’em. We all know youth and longevity are essential to remain competitive in Dynasty. But the ultimate goal is to win fantasy championships, and sometimes that means acquiring that “win-now” asset.

Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman offers immediate volume upside and a high-floor, three-down upside profile. A real opportunity for playing time opened up for Jonah after hamstring injuries to both J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Lightning struck twice in the same week, benefiting the next guy up: Jonah Coleman.

Dynasty Buy and Sell: Week 2

It’s that time of year when teams start to show who’s built for the long haul and who’s running on fumes. Bye weeks are hitting hard, injuries are piling up, and depth starts to matter. Every move from here on out counts. That’s where we make our money: finding those buy windows before they slam shut and moving off guys right before the drop comes. With that, let’s dive right into my top four “buys” and “sells” from a Dynasty perspective following Week 2.

Last Week In Fantasy: Week 1

Dynasty / By /

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the rearview mirror, but fantasy season is finally back, baby! We’ve made our bets, and while we still have time to see which ones will cash and which ones we hope to parlay into a better one, now is the time to see if we were right, wrong, or just early. To help with that, I’m introducing my new weekly article, “Last Week In Fantasy” — a piece that filters through the data, stats, and news across all 32 teams every week to help you decide if a player is a Buy, Sell, or Stash!

Dynasty Data Trendz: Week 1

All Access, Dynasty / By /

Fantasy point production is not always the best predictor of future fantasy point production. One blown coverage or short touchdown can instantly make a player’s otherwise pedestrian week look great for fantasy. This is where usage trends come in. A player’s usage is a better predictor of what kind of future fantasy production we should expect. You can use this to target Dynasty owners who may be otherwise disenchanted with a low macro fantasy output, while you know the underlying factors are healthy. On the other hand, you can also utilize usage trends to see which players may have a concerning trend relative to their historical valuation that you may want to consider trading.

Devy/C2C Stashes: LSU Freshman Playmakers, Phillip Wright III and Corey Barber

C2C, College Fantasy, Devy / By /

However you feel about LSU head football coach and controversial enigma Lane Kiffin, one thing remains: the man can put points on the scoreboard. Across his 15-year career as a head coach, Kiffin’s teams have averaged 35.4 points per game, ranking in the top five among active FBS college football head coaches [minimum five seasons coached]. Exclude the numbers from Tennessee and USC; when he ran a slow, methodical, pro-style system, the average jumps to 37.1 PPG. At Florida Atlantic University [FAU], Kiffin began shifting to his version of the veer-and-shoot. Kiffin marries pro-style passing progression, pass protection rules, and tight-end-heavy packages with the up-tempo, spread-the-field, RPO-heavy scheme. Call it a pro-Spread hybrid built on the Veer-and-Shoot architecture. This offense creates space by splitting its wide receivers out to the literal sidelines and numbers, horizontally stretching defenses and making them defend every blade of grass, leaving gaps for the right play call to target and gash. Speedy weapons out wide are essential to executing this. When Kiffin arrived in Baton Rouge for the 2026 season, he completely overhauled the wide receiver room via the transfer portal. Yet, two unique names have emerged from the dust as stash opportunities for your Devy/C2C rosters.

The Assembly Line, Vol. 4: Dynasty Football Factory Newsletter

All Access, Dynasty / By /

Week 1 is FINALLY here, and with two games already in the books, Sunday can’t get here fast enough! The Game of the Week has to be Western Michigan and Michigan. I mean, a last-second (2nd?) Hail Mary; it doesn’t get any better than that…but did Western Michigan get cheated out of a win? Injuries have taken their toll on some big names already, but it’s too early to panic.
