Preseason in a Nutshell: Rapid Fire Style

Let’s be honest: We are all busy. We can’t watch every preseason snap, coaches’ press conferences, or injury post on X. For all those who love fantasy football but aren’t complete degenerates like us, this article is for you: Concise nuggets of fantasy-relevant news in an easy-to-digest format.

Here I will wrap up the whole preseason in a neat, tidy article.

1. Kyler Murray is the Vikings’ starting QB. The KOC-era Vikings are perennially one of the top passing teams in the league. Murray is a Konami QB with the rushing upside fantasy managers want. You want him on your roster this year.

2. Jahan Dotson is in line to be the Falcons WR2. He played 100% of the snaps with the starters in their first preseason game.

3. Luther Burden was taking souls in practice. Ben Johnson stated he is destined to be one of the NFL’s best receivers.  He has the work ethic and desire to be the best.  The hype was palpable. Then he got injured. X was abuzz, waiting for an update. There were talks of tendon tears. Then we got notice it was a groin injury, and he may only miss a couple of games.

4. The Jaguars running back room looks like a gross timeshare that you don’t want a part of for fantasy. In practice, it has often been Bhaysul Tuten on 1st and 2nd downs, Lequint Allen on 3rd down. Then, when they get inside the 10, Chris Rodriguez has been seeing the bulk of the carries.

5. Staying in Jacksonville, Parker Washington has continued his momentum from last year and has been the most targeted wide receiver in camp.

6. Jayden Higgins was having a great camp. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL and is now gone for the season.

7. The Cleveland QB battle was a real battle. Todd Monken has not named who the starting QB will be between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders.  Either way, you do not want either of these starting on your Dynasty roster.

8. Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington appear to have separated themselves from the pack as the top 2 wide receivers for Miami based on pre-season usage with the starters.

2024 Season Outlook: Top Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs

In the Dynasty format of fantasy football, it’s easy to get caught up in future projections with rookies that we have not seen play yet at an NFL level. It’s important to look ahead at what these rookies will accomplish in the future, but each one has a starting point that will affect their future value and influence betting lines at sites with the most popular features. Some players will break out immediately, and some may take time to develop based on their talent level and how quickly they get an opportunity to see the field. Here are the top Dynasty rookie running backs and what to expect in fantasy and at the sportsbook in 2024.

Kevin Harris: 2021 Devy Profile

Kevin Harris is a 5’10” 227 lbs. running back that was a former three-star recruit. He was 247’s 44th ranked running back in the 2019 class. When reviewing his high school tape, Harris was most likely overlooked for two reasons. He played at a smaller high school and his offensive line at his high school was very effective, minimizing both the need and opportunity for him to break tackles.

Draft Stock Watch: Week 1

As this college football season shapes up to be the most unpredictable in memory, it will be as important as ever for devy owners to keep tabs on what is happening. The COVID-19 pandemic has already caused major headaches for the college football landscape, as two Power 5 conferences have already postponed their seasons (BIG10 and PAC12).  Sprinkled in are many high profile opt-outs who have chosen to forego their 2020 season and prepare for the NFL draft.

A First Look: 2023 Running Backs Part 2

In the first part of this first look at the 2023 running backs, I briefly broke down my top five running backs in the incoming freshman class. Depending on the number of devy prospects owned in your league, there’s a great chance that all five of those backs will be selected in your drafts. This next group of five will likely only be taken in deeper leagues, if at all.
