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

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

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

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?

Divisional Beat: NFC West – Los Angeles Rams

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

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

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

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.

Dynasty Wide Receivers and Quarterbacks to Sell

With the NFL offseason upon us, it’s the perfect time to review your dynasty team, make roster moves, and approach other owners with trade offers to take your squad to the next level. Sometimes, this process requires an owner to consider giving up proven talent to improve other areas of need or gather assets for the future. Veterans can be difficult to part with, but sometimes the long term gains outweigh the short term losses. With that in mind, let’s analyze candidates who fit in the category of “dynasty WRs and QBs to sell”.Jarvis Landry:Landry finally got paid like a number one receiver, but he sure didn’t perform like one in 2018. He dropped six balls in 14 games started after not registering a single drop before in his career. He was also uncharacteristically inefficient posting 6.6 yards per target, settling at the bottom of league rankings. It’s difficult to be hopeful that his situation will get any better when he had little to no competition for targets, but with Odell Beckham entering the fold, he could be in line for increased efficiency even though he should see a drop in targets.

Don’t Call It a Committee: Aaron Jones is Your Lead Back in Green Bay

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 inside. New head coach Matt LaFleur said he believes a committee is the most effective approach, while GM Brian Gutekunst says he wants Jones on the field as much as possible. Helpful, I know. Jones is the more explosive and talented running back, so rest assured this will be his backfield.After starting the season off suspended for two games, Aaron Jones slowly took back his role as the starter. Week eight saw Jones take the reins and dominate the role in the backfield, taking 12 carries to Jamaal Williams four. He added two receptions while Williams had zero. Ty Montgomery had two carries and saw only two targets. He would fumble on a late kick return and would then be traded to the Baltimore Ravens less than a week later. With Montgomery gone Jones was able to start taking over the backfield, and it looked like he was heading toward his first 1,000 yard season until he went down with an MCL injury for the second year in a row.

Next Cheetah Up?

Cheetah. The name itself oozes acceleration. I once asked my four-year-old daughter who was the fastest animal in the world was. She rolled her eyes at me and without missing a beat goes, “Cheetah. Duh.” The golden pelt with the black dots is as distinct as the penguin and their tuxedo. What is the impact

RB Theorem: College 2Kers vs Rookie Output and Career Gains

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 yards shy of the all-time leader (at the
