We debated the rankings on Jalen Reagor, Henry Ruggs, Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, AJ Dillon, Bryan Edwards, Antonio Gandy-Golden, Zack Moss, and Joshua Kelley. We also touched upon players in their range, and who should be ascending or descending. I want to give a big thanks to everyone who contributed to this series of articles. I urge you to go follow them on twitter.  Read the whole series for a number of opinions on players who could win you fantasy championships for years to come. This is Part 6 of the series, where @ff_spaceman and I discuss rookie Bryan Edwards.

Rookie Redraft Update: The Risers

All Access / By /

Back in March, I did a four-part series on the incoming rookie class. Now, it’s time to go back through my takes and examine how they’ve changed in the past few months. I’ve included my four original articles, and my live post-draft takes as links at the bottom of this article. In part one, I looked at the progression of top rookie quarterbacks from March until now. Then, in part two, I covered how the consensus top-three running backs pre-NFL Draft have progressed in redraft value. I moved into part three, where I discussed the next tier of players, including two more running backs and two more wide receivers. Finally, in part four, I talked about the final four wide receivers I broke down in March. However, even though I predicted pretty accurately who would find fantasy relevance and draft capital early on in the process, plenty of players slipped through the cracks. I didn’t write about these three players in March, but I have to discuss them now, both as prospects and as redraft assets. Each of them has a chance at massive fantasy value in 2020, although they all have significant question marks.

Green Bay Packers Dynasty Outlook for 2020

Dynasty / By /

It seems like decades ago that the Green Bay Packers were known as the team that sits out free agency. My how things have changed since Ted Thompson stepped aside for Brian Gutekunst. This year, the Packers have brought back some smaller, but important pieces on both sides of the ball this offseason. These re-signings are signals that they may value some of their current offensive talents more than we think. Let’s take a look at the Packers skill positions from a dynasty lens.

Texans Offense: Gaping Holes and Glaring Opportunity

Dynasty / By /

Without a doubt, the most surprising, perplexing and possibly season altering move was the Texans sending DeAndre Hopkins and a 2020 4th round pick to Arizona for David Johnson, a 2020 2nd round pick and a 4th round pick in 2021. The Texans also agreed to take on all of DJ’s bloated salary, which isn’t much less than Hopkins’.

Worst Landing Spots: WR 2020 NFL Draft

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

The Bears were the epitome of average in 2019, finishing the season a mediocre 8-8. They had a lot of issues but wide receivers weren’t one of them., As a matter of fact, their issues were more so on the quarterback. Mitch Trubisky is not very good, but his receivers are. Chicago already has plenty of talented young pass-catchers in Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller, and adequate receivers in Taylor Gabriel and Javon Wims.

Rookie Targets in Redraft

Uncategorized / By /

Drafting rookies is a key part of fantasy drafts and is one of the best ways to provide an edge over your competitors. As rookies have not yet competed in the NFL, your average fantasy player is less informed about their skill sets and abilities. There are no previous stats or fantasy finishes to rely on to help in evaluating players, like those that exist for veterans.

JJ Arcega-Whiteside (JJAW) is an outstanding player that may not produce right away.
