Dynasty Outlook: Marquise Brown

Dynasty / By /

Film matters. Analytics matter. College production matters. Draft capital and landing spot matter. The debate about which variable is most important or best at predicting future NFL and fantasy success will rage on. However, at the intersection of every variable we use and every lens through which we look to evaluate a prospect sits an individual, unique player.It doesn’t matter how predictive we think our research is. At the end of the day, a rookie and his coaching staff still have to go out and get the job done.When evaluating the long term dynasty potential of a rookie wide receiver, we have to work with what we have. Anyone who tells you they have all the answers is selling you something. However, certain historical trends, film analysis, and other variables can give us a glimpse into what is possible.As I attempt to breakdown the dynasty outlook of Marquise Brown, keep a few things in mind: we only know what we know. He has extremely limited professional experience and much of what will be covered is speculation that is, however, rooted in research. Will he do enough to provide fantasy relevance this year or in the future?

AFC North Factory Divisional Nuggets: Week 2

Dynasty / By /

“Not bad for a running back”. That post-game quote from Lamar Jackson summed up the Ravens’ decimation of the Dolphins in Week 1. The new-look Ravens offense hung 59 points on the hapless Fins (42 by halftime) which afforded Lamar Jackson an early exit during the fourth quarter. After winning the division by finishing the 2018 season on a 6-1 record with Jackson at QB, the Ravens essentially rebuilt their offense around their new signal-caller. They drafted two wide receivers and a running back, brought over veteran free agent Mark Ingram, and turned the keys over to Lamar Jackson. The early returns look promising.

Antonio Brown’s Wild Ride: Wins even when he loses

Dynasty / By /

In a shocking turn of events, Antonio Brown has agreed to terms with the Patriots. The idea has been tossed around over the last couple of weeks during Brown’s fallout with Oakland as a complete joke.
No one could have actually guessed, or have thought Antonio Brown would be released by the Raiders and sign with New England, but here we are.
Tom Brady passing to Antonio Brown is a reality. Mr. Big Chest brings his talents to Foxboro for at least a year. Adam Schefter reports the Patriots have agreed to a one year deal worth up to $15m that includes $9m signing bonus, another $1m guaranteed and $5m in incentives.

Sanders vs. Singletary Rap Battle

Dynasty / By /

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 RBs. Is Miles Sanders or Devin Singletary the better asset in dynasty leagues for year one, for 2020 and beyond, or both?

Pettis’s Perplexing Progression

Dynasty / By /

After a scorching hot finish to the 2018 season, the heat carried the Hot Air Balloon that is Dante Pettis’s value high into the sky. However, the month of August has not been kind to the University of Washington product, as he suffers a challenging camp and preseason. As the heat is decreasing and the Hot Air Balloon begins to sink what should you do?

Here is my bird’s eye view of how the teams in the NFC West are looking from a fantasy perspective for the upcoming NFL100 season. I’ll be updating the dynasty outlooks of players throughout the season ahead. But we need a starting reference point to work from, and this is it.Let’s start with the divisional champions, the Los Angeles Rams.

Michael Thomas Extension

Dynasty / By /

Michael Thomas’ contract has been reported for a few days, but the salary cap information for Michael Thomas’ contract extension is publicly available now. If you read some of my other pieces on player contracts like Kyle Rudolph or Tyler Boyd, you know the difference between something dynasty owners should react positively to, or to fade doing so. Generally, when a player makes money as Thomas did, we don’t need to question if the guaranteed money will be substantial enough. However, the first time we don’t follow the process step by step is the first time we will find ourselves burnt by doing so. So let’s dive into his new deal, shall we?

Breakout Third-Year Wide Receivers, Part 2

Dynasty / By /

Whether you believe in the third-year breakout theory for wide receivers or not, there is a strong case to be made for a number of players from the 2017 NFL Draft class.  I’m going to briefly discuss the notable third-year wide receivers and determine the likelihood that they break out in 2019. Using an arbitrary 25% increase over their best fantasy season to date using PPR scoring, I’m going to assess a percent chance that each player reaches their breakout score THIS season (suffice to say this is assuming the relative health of each player). Here is part two of this piece.

Sell High Dynasty Assets

Dynasty / By /

Part of your duty as a dynasty owner is identifying high asset players and moving off of them before their value drops to a point you’re unable to get anything for them. It can be a hard pill to swallow, saying good-bye to a high caliber player who is in the prime of their career. But to sustain your team and remain competitive for years (not to mention avoid the uncertainty of an unknown rebuild), you will have to cut ties and gain maximum value for players. These decisions can be hard, but for Dynasty Football Factory members, they just became a lot easier.
