Gronk to the Bucs
Gronk is back! I feel like I needed to get that out of the way. If anybody doesn’t know, on April 21st, Gronkowski came out of retirement. Everything moved at a breakneck pace on that day. First, Ian Rapoport reported that Gronkowski wanted to unretire and join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. A few hours later, the Buccaneers and Patriots agreed on a trade to send Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick for a fourth-round pick. Soon after that, Gronkowski officially passed a physical, which finalized the deal. Therefore, Gronkowski had gone from retired in the morning to officially part of the Buccaneers in just a few hours.

N’Keal Harry: Player Profile
Coming out of college, NFL.com had Harry as a guy that would win contested catch opportunities outside the numbers, could body up opponents, and win with ball skills. Looking back at Harry’s 12 catches, these traits stick out. Harry only played seven games. Even in limited games, he wasn’t targeted nearly enough to be a factor in the New England offense last season.

NFL Mock Draft: Part 2
We’re back with Part 2 and immediately get some excitement with our first skill player of the mock. CeeDee Lamb goes to the Jets at pick 11. There was some consideration here between a wide receiver and an offensive tackle, but I have a feeling the Jets will be in play when the draft rolls around for Washington Redskins’ Trent Williams.

Taxi Squad Spring Cleaning Part 4: QB Edition
In this series of articles, I’m looking at rookies from the 2019 class that can be removed from your taxi squads to make room for 2020 rookies. These are players that all have little to no dynasty value, but dynasty owners selected in at least some 2019 rookie drafts. This is the quarterback edition.

NFL Mock Draft: Part 1
Today we’re going to have a little fun and do a mock draft for the NFL but with fantasy implications. Trading draft picks is one of the hardest things to predict, so for this initial draft, we’re going to exclude trades for now. Today we’ll look at picks 1-10, who we think each team will take, and the fantasy impact from these signings.

Landing Spot Ramifications
It should be noted that Kingsbury’s offense wouldn’t be able to do the same things without a player like Murray. Josh Rosen wouldn’t be breaking off big runs and creating a ton of separation for his receivers with his legs. Murray allows the team to play an entirely different style than they could with other quarterbacks. Would Murray have been on track to be so successful if he had landed with another team? Who knows, but we can be sure he probably wouldn’t have gotten the same opportunity in such a strong situation.

Dynasty Bargain Bin: Cameron Brate
Cameron Brate isn’t an exciting player. Cameron Brate isn’t even a starter. He’s like the Toyota Camry of fantasy football players. He isn’t flashy, he isn’t a prized possession, he looks like a lot of other players, and is easily forgotten or mistaken for others. They are typically older, have some miles on them, and aren’t someone’s first choice. No one will ever celebrate getting a Camry. It’s a practical buy for practical people. But just like a Camry, Brate can be reliable.

Taxi Squad Spring Cleaning Part 2
In this series of articles, I’m taking a look at rookies from the 2019 class that can be removed from your taxi squads to make room for 2020 rookies. In part one found here, I examined four players that are potential dynasty cuts. These are players that all have little to no dynasty value, but those dynasty owners selected in at least some 2019 rookie drafts. I’ll reference my 2019 rookie rankings from late May to give an idea of where I valued these players. My rankings are for a 1QB, PPR format. Here come four more players that are subject to spring cleaning.

Three Running Backs I Love in Dynasty 2020
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.

Unstarted Business: Jerick McKinnon Finally Ready to Roll?
Kyle Shanahan has four running backs under contract that have played for him over the past two years. However, it’s the running back who hasn’t played football in two years that he’s most excited to see in 2020 – Jerick McKinnon. At this point, McKinnon has reached post-post hype sleeper; he’s forgotten about in most leagues and his value couldn’t be lower. He’s probably sitting on most dynasty waiver wires and for good reason. He’ll be 28 years old in May and hasn’t stepped on a football field in the last two seasons. So why care about him?

DJ Nuk: The Soundtrack of the 2020 Offseason
I tried really hard to find any optimism in DJ going to HOU, I really did. There’s just not a lot of rational arguments I found to be made in his favor. Consensus has HOU O-line ranked mediocre at best. PFF has them ranked at 20 and Football Outsiders has them pegged at 21. The eye test might rank them even worse when watching Hyde struggle to find space while Watson is running for his life. They showed improvements after acquiring Tunsil from MIA (not a Bill O’Brien move), but are still a far cry from a formidable unit.

Kansas City Chiefs: WR Re-Signings
In this piece, we’re going to take a deep dive into the Kansas City wide receiver room. In 2019, the Chiefs had four relevant receivers: Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman, and Demarcus Robinson. While Travis Kelce is and has been the Chiefs’ top target for multiple seasons, Patrick Mahomes is undoubtedly able to support multiple receiving weapons.

Free Agency Merry-Go-Round: Hooper Lands in Cleveland with a Thud
Unrestricted free-agent Austin Hooper signed a four-year, $42M contract to play for the Cleveland Browns last month. The deal makes him the second-highest-paid tight end in the NFL behind only Hunter Henry. He’ll join a team that finished 2019 at 6-10, results that prompted ownership to fire the GM and coaching staff. Hooper leaves a high-volume pass offense in Atlanta for one in Cleveland featuring a duo of strong running backs and a quarterback who’s still developing.

The Ceiling is The Roof: Highest Ceilings, Floors, and Dark Horses of the 2021 Prospects
With devy drafts coming up, we are going to explore the players with the highest ceilings, floors, and some dark horses who could make a difference on dynasty fantasy teams in the upcoming years. Whether you are in rebuild mode or a strong contender, if you plan on using your devy draft picks then your strategy is relatively the same. Always take the best player available, always take a sure thing over a wildcard, and always stay up to date with the DFF Devy Team.

Eric Ebron to the Steelers
If I had to describe Ebron’s prevailing narrative, I would say that most dynasty owners consider Ebron to be a complete bust, who then had one outlier season in 2018 before fading back to normal in 2019. However, that narrative isn’t real. Ebron was consistently mediocre from 2015-2017, finishing as a high-end TE2 in each year. Both 2018 and 2019 are outliers compared to that stretch of middling performances. To determine the truth about Ebron, we need to go back and look beyond the top-line stats.
