Deep IDP Fantasy Buys

Uncategorized / By /

am going to give you some deep, buy low IDP options for the upcoming fantasy season. These are players that are not on the radar of most IDP fantasy owners in deep dynasty leagues but should be. The players on this list, are young guys on the rise, they may get their chance to make an impact for their teams or they may be rookies with no real competition ahead of them on the depth chart. Let’s take a look at these players and what they could help for your fantasy team.

CB, Isaac Yiadom, Denver Broncos The second-year corner out of Boston College, was a low-risk rookie buy last season but wasn’t owned in many leagues (less than 5%). As a rookie he played in thirteen games, starting one, he played a total of 439 total snaps. He played 263 defensive snaps, which was 24.3% of the Broncos defensive total. He also played 176 special teams snaps, that accounted for 49.1%. As you can see, he was a core special teams piece in his first year….

2019 IDP Bounce-Back Candidates

Uncategorized / By /

In this article, we are going to take a look at a few bounce-back candidates for this season. For whatever the reason these players underperformed a year ago, but I am expecting them to bounce back this season and hopefully help lead fantasy owners to a championship. Let’s see who I believe will return to form in 2019.
DE, Leonard Williams, New York JetsWilliams’ best season came back in 2016 when he posted 68 tackles, seven sacks, and 19 quarterback hits. In the two years since, the Jets defense lost some keys pieces such as Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson, leaving Williams to carry the workload. With not much help, his numbers took a hit. While he still had the opportunity to make plays, with 45 combined quarterback hits the last two seasons, he just didn’t have enough around him to take advantage of these opportunities. Now we look to 2019, and the defense has added some much-needed talent and defenses won’t be able to focus on taking Williams out of the game. They signed big-time free agent CJ Mosley to play next to Avery Williamson and drafted rookie phenom Quinnen Williams, who will play nose tackle and keep teams from game planning around Leonard. Let’s not forget that they have superstar safety Jamal Adams at safety. Now that they have some talent to surround Williams with, I expect him to bounce back to the 2016 version. Teams won’t find it as easy to scheme for just him anymore. I believe 68 and seven-plus sacks is a very reasonable expectation for him this season. He can be had at a low buy value right now in most leagues, so now is the time to acquire him.

Buy Low IDP Dynasty Assets

Uncategorized / By /

I’m going to give you at least one buy low dynasty asset at each position, that I believe you are must own or you should stash away on your bench or taxi squads. These players may need a year or so to give you a significant return, but it will be worth the wait. Let’s jump right into it.
Up first is the defensive tackle position, and we head to Buffalo, to discuss 2nd-year guy, Harrison Phillips. If you have been following me, then you know I was high on him coming out of Stanford. As a rookie, he played in all sixteen games but had zero starts. Harrison was buried on the depth chart behind veterans, Kyle Williams and Star Lotulelei. He outperformed Lotulelei and with Williams now retired; he’s a prime candidate to step into a starting role.

Tackling Machines

Uncategorized / By /

In the history of the NFL, there have only been seven players that have recorded back to back seasons of 135+ tackle seasons, in their first two years in the league. This upcoming season, we could add two more to the list. Before we get to them, let’s look at some historical happenings of this occurrence. As I mentioned, we could add two more after this season, but there have been three previous instances of having multiple players accomplish this in the same season. What’s interesting is that every time this feat has happened, there has always been multiple players in the same season. Never has there only been one player at a time to accomplish this.

Change of Scenery: Tampa Bay to Carolina McCoy Flips Teams in the NFC South

Uncategorized / By /

Tampa Bay tried all off-season to trade longtime veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, who spent nine seasons with the Buccaneers, but with no success. They eventually cut their star defender, to save some money against the cap. During his time with the Buccaneers, McCoy played and started in all 123 games he played with Tampa Bay.

IDP Sophomore Sleepers: Linebacker Edition

Uncategorized / By /

As IDP enthusiasts we fall in love with prospects every year. Annually my summer ends with cutting one, two or three of the rookie safeties I have collected on a hunch in the hopes that they will start. Inevitably I cut the wrong guy (i.e. Budda Baker). So yeah, we all make mistakes. This series
