Devy/C2C Stashes: LSU Freshman Playmakers, Phillip Wright III and Corey Barber

C2C, College Fantasy, Devy / By /

However you feel about LSU head football coach and controversial enigma Lane Kiffin, one thing remains: the man can put points on the scoreboard. Across his 15-year career as a head coach, Kiffin’s teams have averaged 35.4 points per game, ranking in the top five among active FBS college football head coaches [minimum five seasons coached]. Exclude the numbers from Tennessee and USC; when he ran a slow, methodical, pro-style system, the average jumps to 37.1 PPG. At Florida Atlantic University [FAU], Kiffin began shifting to his version of the veer-and-shoot. Kiffin marries pro-style passing progression, pass protection rules, and tight-end-heavy packages with the up-tempo, spread-the-field, RPO-heavy scheme. Call it a pro-Spread hybrid built on the Veer-and-Shoot architecture. This offense creates space by splitting its wide receivers out to the literal sidelines and numbers, horizontally stretching defenses and making them defend every blade of grass, leaving gaps for the right play call to target and gash. Speedy weapons out wide are essential to executing this. When Kiffin arrived in Baton Rouge for the 2026 season, he completely overhauled the wide receiver room via the transfer portal. Yet, two unique names have emerged from the dust as stash opportunities for your Devy/C2C rosters.

The Assembly Line, Vol. 4: Dynasty Football Factory Newsletter

All Access, Dynasty / By /

Week 1 is FINALLY here, and with two games already in the books, Sunday can’t get here fast enough! The Game of the Week has to be Western Michigan and Michigan. I mean, a last-second (2nd?) Hail Mary; it doesn’t get any better than that…but did Western Michigan get cheated out of a win? Injuries have taken their toll on some big names already, but it’s too early to panic.

Welcome to a new weekly column where I run through the biggest Dynasty storylines week to week. We’re going to cover a lot of different angles over the next 18 weeks. It won’t always be pretty. But, by God, we have missed it. Without further ado, let’s dive in.

C2C Start/Sit: Week 2

College Fantasy Football, Devy / By /

Week 2 is where things start getting interesting. We finally have some real game action to work with. Roles are starting to take shape, backfields are getting a little clearer, and some of those preseason assumptions are already being tested. The goal here is still the same. I am not going to tell you to start the obvious stars. We are looking for the players whose matchup, workload, or current situation could be the difference in your campus lineup this week. As always, every C2C league is different. Your scoring, lineup requirements, and roster can change a close decision. Let’s get into it.

The Devy Notebook 2026: Volume 2

College Fantasy Football, Devy / By /

Labor Day weekend finally arrived, which typically marks the true beginning of any given college football season. Though the games featured many lopsided matchups, we still had plenty to look at across the devy landscape. The biggest challenge in the early part of the college football season is avoiding overreactions to performances, whether they be over or underwhelming. Though not as long as the NFL’s, the college football season still gives players plenty of time to bounce back in either direction. We have to remember that water always finds its level. In the second installment of The Devy Notebook 2026, I will examine what I saw during week one of the college football season and let you know whether to buy into a player or if you should hold the line and wait to see how things play out in the coming weeks. Let’s get into it.

C2C Waiver Report: Post Week 1

C2C, College Fantasy / By /

Week 1 gave us a lot more to work with. We finally have real usage, real workloads, and enough game action to start figuring out which early roles might actually stick.

This report covers games completed through Sunday. SMU and Florida State play Monday night, so I am leaving that game out rather than trying to make decisions before it is played.

The approach stays the same. Help the campus lineup first. Then look at C2C appreciation, age, and ceiling.

A lot of the biggest Week 1 names are already rostered in the leagues I checked. Nate Sheppard, Jamal Rule, Mason Heintschel, J’Koby Williams, KJ Duff, Faizon Brandon, Jeremiah McClellan, Jaylin Carter, and Jamari Johnson will still be discussed because their Week 1 usage matters. They are not realistic waiver additions, so I am not attaching FAAB bids to them.

Hammer’s DFS Hammers for NFL Week 1

All Access, Strategy Content / By /

My last name is Hammer. I’m not going to pretend this article’s name is an accident. This isn’t a weekly column, because most weeks I won’t have enough to say. I write these when a slate actually lines up – when the numbers, the narratives, the beat reports from practice, the under-the-radar role changes, and the injury report all point in the same direction towards players. Week 1 is one of those weeks. Prices were locked in earlier this summer, and a lot of what we’re betting on now is how guys finished the 2025 season, plus whether camp backed it up. That’s a real edge if you’re paying attention. I’ve got five names this week. They aren’t on the same team, and they don’t have the same role. What they share is that the close of 2025 still looks better than their price, their summer backed up what we saw last year, and Sunday’s matchup gives them a reason to eat. That’s the swing. Let’s get into it.

Devy Players of the Week: Week 1

Devy / By /

Welcome back for the Week 1 edition of Devy Players of the Week! We still have a few Sunday and Monday night games to wrap up Week 1, but given that I’ll be M.I.A. until next Sunday, I figured I’d better get you all an article now. This week featured a ton of elite performances, making it tough to select just two winners per position. We’ve got plenty to cover, so let’s not waste any more time!

5 Dynasty Buy-Low Candidates Before Week 1

All Access, Dynasty / By /

We are a handful of days away from the start of the 2026 NFL Season, and betting on Pro Football Moneylines for those of you who dabble. And, boy, I think we deserve it. No more rumours. No more camp clips. No more rookie hype. It’s time. Now, any diligent dynasty manager would have completed his business a long time ago. But, like an English Premier League Club on Transfer Deadline Day, it’s not too late to get some last-minute deals over the line. Here are some of my favorite buy-low candidates heading into the season.

2026 Training Camp Injuries & Impacts

All Access, Dynasty / By /

All offseason, the drumbeat around second-year wideout Luther Burden has been deafening. Ben Johnson even said in late May that he was “buying Luther Burden stock right now.” When a head coach and playcaller says that, the fantasy community and NFL odds live should probably listen. 

And we did. 

Burden is currently going as the WR24 in FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP for seasonal leagues. In Dynasty, he’s been steamed up to WR18 on KeepTradeCut. We’re even more aggressive here at DFF, where Burden sits as our WR17 in consensus rankings.

Jonathon Brooks

Dynasty Price Check: Jonathon Brooks

Dynasty / By /

Jonathan Brooks, the former second-round pick (46th overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Texas, has been a non-factor so far during his time as a professional. The future star is recovering from his second torn ACL, which occurred during his rookie season. He’s recently been cleared and has been participating in the offseason programs while reportedly feeling 100%. With this, buying low on talented, injured players is a cheat code and has often proven very profitable in Dynasty Fantasy Football. Brooks, with his potential, falls into this category, and he has also received positive comments from Head Coach Dave Canales. In addition, the Carolina Panthers didn’t draft or sign any running backs this offseason. They chose to let veteran Rico Dowdle leave as a free agent, which speaks volumes for what the team thinks of Brooks and leads me to believe he’s in line; if healthy, Brooks can be a potential league winner.

As we fast-forward to training camps about to open up, the Panthers enter the upcoming season with high internal expectations and expect to improve upon their eight-win season in 2025. Brooks has the talent to become a superstar in the NFL as he’s an all-around three-down running back with explosive playmaking ability. The third-year player is still only 23 years old and figures to be the future of the Panthers’ backfield at some point this season. Even though the Panthers have Chuba Hubbard as the RB1 to start the year, he’s entering year two of a four-year, 33.2 million deal. There’s no reason to believe that Brooks still can’t be a big factor in their offense. Running back is the one position in the NFL that can change quickly, and there is a potential out on Hubbard’s contract after 2026. I see no reason why Brooks can’t earn close to an even split with Hubbard and work next to him more as a 1B early in the season instead of as a true number two running back. Then, as things unfold throughout the 2025 NFL season, time will tell when Brooks can fully take over this backfield. But with the season quickly approaching, the question is: should you be buying, selling, or holding Brooks? Let’s dive in.

Malik Nabers

One Question For EVERY NFL Team: New York Giants Edition

Dynasty / By /

When we look at the Giants, it’s easy to get excited, concerned, and confused. When will Malik Nabers (WR – NYG) be back? How good of a season can Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) have without his number one wide receiver? Is Isaiah Likely (TE – NYG) the best bet to make in the Giants’ offense? Can both Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG) and Tyrone Tracy (RB – NYG) be fantasy viable this season? Is John Harbaugh the missing link to the Giants’ return to glory?

Those are all legitimate questions, concerns, and reasons to be optimistic about the Giants’ offense in fantasy.

One Fantasy Question For EVERY NFL Team: Dallas Cowboys Edition

Dynasty / By /

As the offseason progresses and news from OTAs enters the echo chamber that is the fantasy community on Twitter (or X, if you’re weird and literal) not all news is good news, unless you’re a Parker Washington stan and more importantly, not all news is relevant for fantasy, and should always be taken with a grain of salt.

We must remember, these guys are running around without pads on, playing seven on seven. We’re all excited for news updates and with the latest trades of A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots and Myles Garrett going to the Los Angeles Rams (my favorite team to win the Super Bowl, fyi) it’s hard not to get excited about any and all NFL news, especially for us fantasy guys.

Eli Heidenreich 2

Late Round Dynasty Gem: Eli Heidenreich

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Within the Dynasty Fantasy Football community, most die-hard Dynasty enthusiasts have heard the name Eli Heidenreich. But the main question is: does he have potential? After being selected by his hometown Steelers in the seventh round (230th overall), he’s a very underrated player who would have gone a bit higher if he had played at a larger college football program and gotten more national recognition. Heidenreich will land on the Philadelphia Eagles schedule on November 22 and is an intriguing hybrid offensive player with elite pass-catching ability. When digging deeper into the analytics on Heidenreich, he’s actually an intriguing prospect who has all the talent to become a hidden gem of Dynasty rookie drafts. Let’s dive in!

Top Dynasty Value for Each NFC East & West Team

Dynasty / By /

You mean to tell me I can get a 26-year-old bell-cow, tied to a long-term contract, in an explosive offense at only RB19 prices? Sign me up all day. Javonte Williams averaged 15.2 fantasy points per game last season, good for RB11. After racking up 1,338 total yards and 13 touchdowns in his first season with the Cowboys, Williams re-upped with Dallas, and he’s now locked in as the unquestioned RB1. 

He’s not the most electric back in the game, but volume is king, and he should get plenty of it again in 2026. With only Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue behind him, Williams could push for 300 touches this season. Low-end RB1 output is in play once again, and you only have to pay a low-end RB2 price to get him.

In this article, I am going to break down the Scott Fish Bowl scoring and try to identify who we should target in the early rounds and where the value picks are. First, I’ll look at the past two seasons to identify where the value is. It will be hard to know for sure until we know the ADP (average draft position).

High School Recruiting Stars vs. NFL Draft Capital: What Actually Matters for Dynasty Fantasy Football

Dynasty / By /

The goal of this article is to determine whether 4- and 5-star players are the ones we should be targeting each year in our drafts. On average, there are about 22 4+ stars each year for the quarterback position. I wanted to look at the current landscape of the top 24 quarterbacks on KeepTradeCut to see what they were rated when they came out of high school. The high school star rating is from 247Sports.

Colton Joseph

Why Wisconsin QB Colton Joseph Is the Perfect C2C Breakout Candidate

C2C / By /

In Campus 2 Canton leagues, people constantly chase the next five-star quarterback before he ever takes a meaningful snap. But some of the best C2C values come from a different path entirely. They come from productive quarterbacks stepping into bigger situations before the market fully adjusts. That’s exactly why Colton Joseph should be one of the biggest quarterback breakout targets in C2C heading into 2026. And to be clear: This is primarily a C2C production bet, not necessarily an NFL projection bet.

Right now, Joseph does not profile as a future locked-in NFL franchise quarterback. But honestly? That barely matters in Campus 2 Canton. Fantasy points matter. Weekly ceiling matters. Rushing production matters. And Joseph massively checks those boxes.

Campus 2 Canton Is An Investment In Your Dynasty Leagues

C2C / By /

Most dynasty managers spend two or three months trying to learn an incoming rookie class.

They binge prospect videos.
They consume rankings.
They memorize combine numbers.
They suddenly convince themselves they understand hand usage, route nuance, and footwork because they watched a three-minute highlight clip on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Campus-to-Canton managers have already been living with these players for years.

That’s the hidden edge of C2C.

It’s not just another fantasy football format.

It’s an investment in every dynasty league you already play.
