Rapid Reaction: Cam Akers’ Torn Achilles

Dynasty / By Brad Hartnett / July 20, 2021 September 11, 2022

Cam Akers suffered a torn Achilles while training, a headline first reported by the NFL Network’s Tom Pelisasero. Akers was trending up in all fantasy football formats, going as a late second to early third-round draft pick in Superflex start-up leagues. He also was going as early as the first round in Redraft formats. This is a crushing loss, and we hope for a safe recovery for this promising young man. With an injury of this magnitude, we cannot dwell in our sadness, we must look for opportunities that this has created for us to gain advantages in our fantasy leagues for 2021.

Kenneth Gainwell is an Onion

Dynasty / By Brad Hartnett / March 27, 2021 September 11, 2022

Kenneth Gainwell was the “onion” in Memphis’s offense; he served as their leading rusher and lined up in many different alignments. At his 2021 Pro Day, Gainwell measured in at 5’8” and 201 lbs. He ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash, benched 225 lbs. 21 times, executed a 35” vertical jump, and ran a 4.46-second short shuttle. After his performance, Gainwell had some kind words to say about himself: “My skill set is very, very different. I can play between the tackles, I can play outside the tackles, I can line up at the slot. So my position is very, very different than these other running backs in the draft.”

Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 5

Dynasty / By Tyler Justin Karp / October 8, 2020 September 11, 2022

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. With that said, let’s jump into the risers first, followed by the fallers.

Darrel Williams: 2020 Dynasty Profile

Dynasty / By Tyler Justin Karp / September 15, 2020 September 11, 2022

n Week 1, Darrel played 33% of the offensive snaps, compared to 67% for Edwards-Helaire. Most notably, Thompson didn’t play a single offensive snap, making it clear that Darrel is the direct backup to Edwards-Helaire. Unfortunately, Edwards-Helaire had 25 carries compared to only seven for Darrel, a larger split than most expected. I believed the Chiefs would ease Edwards-Helaire into the starter’s role at the beginning of the season, but they handed him a full workload from Day 1.

Today, it’s time for a deep dive into Dante Pettis. Is there any hope for a revival in his value, or is Pettis done? Let’s jump right in!

Leonard Fournette to Tampa Bay: Rapid Reaction

Dynasty / By Matthew Bull / September 3, 2020 September 11, 2022

The anticipation has ended for the Leonard Fournette landing spot. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue their hype-filled offseason by adding the 25-year-old running back from LSU. Leonard Fournette is going to be signing a 1-year $3.5 million deal with a base salary of $2 million. The rest of the deal is incentive-based correlating with playing time and yards. Unfortunate news for Ronald Jones owners and Ke’Shawn Vaughn truthers, Fournette landing here disrupts the entire backfield and leaves a lot of questions soon to be answered.

DFF Rookie Round Table, Part 8: Zack Moss

Dynasty, Rookie / By Brad Hartnett / July 11, 2020 September 11, 2022

After recently releasing my rookie rankings, I wanted to open up the floor to constructive criticism. I also wanted to see where I was not aligned with other DFF analysts. So, we conducted a round table discussion. This discussion is now a 10-part series of informal articles. In these articles, analysts debate why some of their favorite rookie(s) should be moved up. And in one case, moved down!

A Look Back: Rookie Targets

Dynasty, Rookie / By Tyler Justin Karp / April 28, 2020 September 11, 2022

Continuing my “A Look Back” series, I wanted to go back even further than the 2019 regular season and reference some of my 2019 pre-draft content. In this two-part article, I’m going to take a look at two articles I published in mid-to-late August 2019 about rookies in redraft. Let’s start with the three targets.

Camp Battles: Three is a Crowd

Uncategorized / By Tyler Justin Karp / July 22, 2019 September 11, 2022

In this article, we’re going to wrap up the camp battles to watch for in 2019. You can find the previous articles in this series by clicking on the following links: Part One Part Two If you haven’t checked those articles, you should take a look to see some of the other important competitions impacting your fantasy football drafts. Here come two more exciting battles.

James Washington vs. Donte Moncrief vs. Diontae Johnson (PIT – WR) In this camp battle, these three wide receivers are fighting for the number two spot in the Steelers’ offense behind star receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Considering that last season Antonio Brown had 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns, there is a lot of room for someone new to step up and potentially reach WR2 status after Brown’s trade to the Raiders. Let’s examine each of the players in turn, starting with Washington. Washington was drafted by the Steelers with the 60th overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. In his final college season, he won the Biletnikoff Award for best college wide receiver and was extremely hyped as a member of the stacked wide receiver class of 2018. However, Washington disappointed as a rookie, only managing 16 catches for 217 yards and just one touchdown. After Brown was traded to Oakland, Washington was expected to step up into the WR2 role. However, at this moment, he is losing the competition to the next player up, Donte Moncrief………………………………………………………….

Year three of this series and I am sporting a very high hit rate so far so let’s keep swinging for the fences. We get older each day; it’s just a fact of life. However, the aging process is accelerated in the NFL, and we need to be prepared to usher players off our squad …

Truth or Bogus – Week 2 Recap

Uncategorized / By Mitch Lawson / September 22, 2018 September 11, 2022

Injuries, trades, cuts… Week 2 of the NFL season had it all. It seems like every week there’s a big event that gets fantasy owners talking and analysts pumping out fantasy headlines. In the reactionary world of fantasy football, some of these headlines are bogus. But how can you be sure? What if that story …
