Dynasty Outlook: Dan Arnold

Dynasty / By /

While Arnold appears to be a very good pass catcher, he is on the lighter side, at just 222 pounds. His limited impact in the blocking game may not allow him to be an every-down type of tight end, but he could be a touchdown machine like he was in college. Arnold has only played four games with the Cardinals, and his offensive snap rate increased each of the last three games, finishing with 44% in Week 17. This shows that Kingsbury has every intention of getting him involved.

Tight End Spotlight: Mike Gesicki

Dynasty / By /

In fantasy football, the tight end position is somewhat of an enigma. Most leagues require you to start at least one, which is hard enough by itself.

Kyle Rudolph Contract Extension

Kyle RudolphIt’s important that we note the contract he had before. For those who don’t spend a lot of time on Spotrac, he had a $7.625m cap hit with zero dead cap (money still counting towards the team’s cap for the year). Virtually any time a player has zero dead cap in a year, he represents a cut candidate, or what some people may call a “cap casualty”. This fact was especially exacerbated by the fact that the Vikings were up against the salary cap for the year with very little room for flexibility. It’s not uncommon for teams to look at having $7.625m more cap space as being more valuable than a player. In this case, the Vikings found a way to have their cake and eat it too, while also giving Rudolph some short term guarantees………..

How much does Tight End Premium scoring matter?

Dynasty / By /

Earlier this offseason, I wrote this article about how to apply the concept of VBD to compare league formats. I didn’t look at this concept in the article, but I looked at something remarkably similar. I looked at the difference between a particularly “beefed up” scoring system for quarterbacks, and 2QB/super flex leagues. What we found was that even in a pretty high scoring setup for quarterbacks, there were still more quarterbacks in the top 30 VBD players in the super flex format than the beefy 1QB scenario. Let’s do something similar for TE-premium.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins The New England Patriots have lost the Polar bear in pads that is Rob Gronkowski, and the fantasy world is anxious to lock in the next tight end to catch passes from Tom Brady.

Tight End NFL Draft

Dynasty / By /

Let’s see what rookie tight ends could have some fantasy production in the 2019 season. Normally tight ends take time to develop, but there might be some fantasy gold in this year’s draft. The most important thing about the tight end position is the system. I have two great examples of what I mean. Eric
