In this article, it’s time to look at the dynasty dynamite canisters. These are the guys that can explode in value or blow up and become nothing. I expect each of these players to do exactly that by the end of 2020. There’s no in-between, as I don’t...
Entering the second year of his rookie contract with one of the top offensive play-callers as his head coach has left me drooling at the idea of what Sanders’ ceiling could be. I see his value continuing to trend in a positive direction over the coming ...
James Conner was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 3rd round of the 2017 NFL draft. He was quiet in his rookie season. But, when Le’Veon Bell held out in 2018, James Conner broke out in a big way. He finished as the RB6 with over 1,400 total yar...
Before the NFL Draft, I thought Lynn Bowden Jr. would be used as a slot receiver in the NFL, considering how dominant and explosive he was as a sophomore leading the Kentucky Wildcats receivers. I wrote a pre-draft profile on Bowden, highlighting his abil...
Draft capital is king; however, GMs aren’t perfect. The following running backs were all undrafted and had significant fantasy value: Austin Ekeler, Phillip Lindsay, Fred Jackson, C.J. Anderson, Arian Foster, and Priest Holmes. Will any of the running b...
n this article, I’m going to take a look at the running back age cliff. In dynasty formats, player value and performance tends to decline after a player hits a certain age. RBs tend to decline faster than other positions and peak earlier in their career...
The Atlanta Falcons signed Todd Gurley to a one-year, $6 million deal less than a day after being cut by the Rams. He ends up back in Georgia where he went to college. Could a return to where it all started get his career back on track?
Welcome to the kickoff of a new series of articles I will be starting that will delve deeper into certain debates that are popular within the dynasty community. The purpose of these debates is not to convince you which side of the argument is correct but ...
There were four top-drafted running backs in last year's rookie drafts. How did they fair in their rookie campaigns? What is their outlook going forward? Become a member, hop in, and find out!
This article is an entirely different type of piece from my usual content. Here, we’re just going to focus on a single player, Rashaad Penny. He’s been a polarizing prospect from the beginning and has been the subject of intense dynasty debate before ...
Here, we’re going to look at landing spots. Specifically, what are the best landing spots for a running back in the 2020 NFL Draft, or perhaps for a free agent running back? I’ll be focusing on each team’s current running backs, cap space, and NFL D...
he talent in this RB class has been spoken of with high regard. D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor, and JK Dobbins are all skilled backs who look like early first-round picks in dynasty rookie drafts. To those unfortunate enough to miss out on those guys, d...
In light of LeSean McCoy’s recent release, our writers had a spirited discussion that nobody thought was likely to ever occur four months ago. So in the spirit of "8 Mile", @DFF_Mike2 and @DFF_Biscuits have decided to have a rap battle about two rookie ...
Who is your long shot juggernaut (or someone currently listed third on an NFL teams depth chart) RB for 2019?Joshua Johnson @DFF_ CogLet’s really roll the proverbial dice here! Give me Samaje Perine because why not, he is practically free. If you own De...
Without taking an NFL snap, we in the fantasy community must make up our minds on how the new crop of RBs will produce in the NFL, as rookies and thereafter. Here, I look at how history might point the way to the career paths of Miles Sanders, Josh Jacobs...
Reports this offseason have been that the plan in Green Bay is to go with a running back by committee approach for next season. As someone who has shares of Aaron Jones in every dynasty league, this news doesn’t exactly make me feel all warm and fuzzy i...
Larry Johnson (Penn State 271 att. 2,087 yards 7.7 YPA) The year was 2002 and Johnson had never seen more than 75 carries or 358 yards in a college season. He had been locked in a timeshare with somebody named Eric McCoo. When the trust was finally put in...
Barry Sanders (Oklahoma State 344 att. 2,628 yards 7.6 YPA) – The year was 1988 and even my own mother knew he was a shoo-in to win the Heisman Trophy. In the NFL Sanders was a spectacle of epic effort and bake-n-shake. He finished his career 1,457 yard...
Researchers have found a number of common biases that people have in day-to-day interactions and situations. One of these is the representativeness bias, which is our tendency to assume something is more likely to happen because the situation is similar t...
Dynasty leagues are won in December, but the foundation is built in January. The period immediately following the NFL regular season is my favorite time to buy players that I’m confident will either increase in value over the course of the off-season or...
