Creating Your Own Prospect Database

Dynasty / By /

As we close out the 2020 football season with a Super Bowl matchup between the last generation’s greatest quarterback and the next generation’s greatest quarterback, rookie fever is quickly approaching. Many people like Peter Howard (Twitter handle: @pahowdy) and Dave Wright (@ff_spaceman) have set up prospect databases that are uniquely useful, and I have posted links to each respective database so you can check them out for yourself.

Navigating Your Rookie Draft: 2021 Wide Receivers

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Wide receiver is the position in which analysts have the most different inputs for analyzing prospects. This is because it is by far the hardest position to analyze, whether that be grinding film or navigating through advanced metrics. This is because the college game for wide receivers is so drastically different than how the position is played in the NFL. Wide receivers have less room to operate, they are hit at the line of scrimmage, and they are playing against more skilled and more athletic defenders than they ever have. In this segment, we will be exploring historical hit rates with draft capital and age as the only two components.

The End of an Era: Ripple Effects of the Brees and Rivers Retirements

Dynasty / By /

The close of a tumultuous 2020 football season (and the entire year for that matter) and the subsequent start of 2021 has sparked feelings of optimism for many. Unfortunately, the start of 2021 always saw the end of an era play out, as Drew Brees and Philip Rivers played the final games of their illustrious careers. Many NFL fans have long been spoiled by specific players’ consistent high-quality quarterback play for much of the last two decades. Let’s take a few moments to appreciate what Brees and Rivers have accomplished.

Free Agent Focus: Allen Robinson

Free Agent Focus: Allen Robinson

Dynasty / By /

It’s been a while since I last wrote an article for DFF. Between work, moving interstate, dealing with the rescheduling of a wedding, and the general hustle and bustle of life, I’ve been short on time over the past few months. Or that is what I have told myself. 

It’s very easy to put something off, especially when you know there will be some effort involved, and sometimes you can let the excuses win. But I want to start 2021 right, and it’s time for me to start pulling my weight once again. The amazing team here at DFF has been smashing out content week after week, and I am fired up to get back to contributing regularly.

NFL Team Deep Dive: Jacksonville Jaguars

Dynasty / By /

The Jaguars fired both HC Doug Marrone and GM Dave Caldwell. Caldwell was the first to be let go. Leading Jacksonville to a mediocre 39-87 record in eight seasons. The Jaguars lost 10 or more games in seven of those seasons. After a franchise-record 10th consecutive loss, team-owner Shad Khan decided to pull the plug on Caldwell. Trent Baalke took over as the interim GM and has a chance to take over as the official GM of the team.

Dynasty / By /

Now that the 2020 fantasy season has ended, it’s time for one of my favorite parts of the year: the dynasty off-season. This is the time to begin to assess your rosters’ strengths/weaknesses, evaluate draft capital, and gather a general game-plan for the next few months. The purpose of this series is to give you an in-depth look at one player I am buying in dynasty, and one player I am selling. This list will change as the NFL Draft and NFL Free Agent period shake out.

Dynasty Risers and Fallers: Week 17

Dynasty / By /

In this weekly piece, I will bring you some risers and fallers from a dynasty lens. Whether it’s injuries, performance, or value, I want to discuss how players have moved around. Based on the week’s events, I’ll give some advice on how to act on the market’s movement, whether it’s buying, selling, or holding. I won’t limit myself to talking about any specific players or teams because I want to have the freedom to discuss whatever is most relevant. Also, of course, there are more risers and fallers than those I’m listing. However, it’s impossible to cover every single one of them, as dynasty values change weekly for many players.

NFC West: Divisional Nuggets

Dynasty / By /

At this point, I’ve turned on Russell Wilson as a dynasty asset. He completed 20/32 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown, although he saved his day with a rushing touchdown. However, Wilson is already 32 years old, so fantasy owners cannot rely on high rushing production forever. Wilson hasn’t thrown for more than 300 yards since Week 9, and he has only 10 touchdowns in those seven games.
