My good buddy and fellow dynasty football factory writer, Craig (@DFF_Craig) have played in a dynasty league together for a handful of years. During that time, he and I have traded one player back and forth more than any other. We kept waiting for the day that Christine Michael would live up to the immense […]

Everyone in the fantasy football business loves a good sleeper and by extension, the bigger the scandal makes an even better story. Today, I will be discussing the Giants free agent pickup and former Illinois State Redbirds rusher, Marshaun Coprich, who has made some major headlines over the last fourteen months or so. On the

The 2016 NFL Draft was full of talented players, but maybe one of the least discussed is former junior runner, now Chicago Bear, Jordan Howard. Perhaps it’s due to my University of Michigan homer-ism, but I came away impressed with the three games I watched of his namely; Michigan, Florida International, and a 2014 game

One of my favorite ways to get my football fix in, especially during the off-season, is by playing Madden. The game only gets more life-like with every new edition that is released, but it can be just as enjoyable than a football arcade game due to the vast details you can manage. A top option,

Some things in life just kind of suck the first time around. Then you take some time away from those things, come back to them, and poof, they’re great. Prime example: Beer. I don’t exactly remember trying beer for the first time, but I know at some point, probably around the age of 12, my

In the next installment of my 2016 NFL rookie class review, we will explore the one year running back wonder former Notre Dame golden domer and current Seattle Seahawk rookie, CJ Prosise. This converted wide receiver certainly turned heads in 2015 with a thousand yard rushing season. I reviewed his games against Clemson, Massachusetts, Georgia Tech,

The 2016 running back class came in all shapes and sizes. The real question we need to ask is, who can they play at the next level? A wise, old Jedi named Yoda once questioned “judge me not by my size, do you?” I ask the same of my readers when considering former Illinois back, now

With the news this week that Arian Foster has signed with the Miami Dolphins, he has become one of the hottest topics in fantasy football. Should fantasy owners buy or sell? Foster is a hard buy for me with the only exception being a team looking to “win now”. If you want an RB1 hiding

We all have our own personal “that guy” in sports. The one that we put so much trust into, and the same one who blew up in our faces. This is especially true in fantasy football. Coming into last year, I was fairly high on then-sophomore rusher, Jeremy Hill. In his inaugural NFL season, Hill

The 2016 rookie running back class was chock full of surprises. One of the biggest stories in the Oakland camp was that former Texas Tech back, DeAndre Washington is getting some first team reps. Some fantasy pundits may discount him due to his size, but this is a talented back who might be poised to

Utes better get to know him. Devontae Booker has the mold of a workhorse, NFL running back. With measurables of 5-11, 220lbs. he should be able to withstand the physicality of the NFL each week. However, Booker’s college career started slowly. In fact, he didn’t immediately attend a D-I university. Booker actually began his college

I was never a big fan of Lamar Miller in Miami, but his recent change of scenery with the Houston Texans has made me a fan. In the interest of full disclosure, he’s still my second favorite Lamar after Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds, but that’s neither here nor there. Miller was always a

Every year the internet hype train selects a player or two that might be the next “big sleeper” in fantasy football. Over the years, the results are typically mixed and more often than not the players in question end up not living up to the build-up. One such player, gaining a head of steam this

Dynasty draft season is upon us and with it comes the signaling of yet another season for fantasy football fanatics to enjoy one of their favorite hobbies. It’s that time of year when those of us digging for gems get to return to the surface with our bounty and share our findings with the masses.

The stage was set, at the 2014 Big Ten Championship game, for Ezekiel Elliott. With both the first and second string quarterbacks out for the season, due to injury, it was time for Elliott to step up his game. The result, he exploded with 220 yards and busted an 81-yard TD run to electrify the

The Hidden Cleveland Workhorse Azusa Pacific isn’t a football program many are familiar with. A small DII school in California whose only meaningful contribution to the NFL is former Chiefs running back, Christian Okoye. I’m here to talk about another Azuza Pacific running back with a major opportunity in front of him: Terrell Watson. College

We’ve seen it time and time again. A young halfback comes into the league, many with a great deal of clout or hype surrounding them and we are driven to hope they are the “next big thing”. Some succeed, while immediately becoming an instant sensation, while others have crashed and burned, never living up to

On the eve of the NFL draft, I tweeted my thoughts on several players set to be drafted over the next couple of days. In that series of tweets, I mentioned four running backs. In one tweet, I stated that Derrick Henry would be just fine in the NFL. With his size, defenses will have

So, a better offense will help the Cowboy’s defense by scoring more in the first half of games, giving the defense the opportunity to play with the lead (and forcing the other team’s offense to play from behind). While it may be true that defenses with a halftime lead at the half fair better than

In the off-season there are always a few once promising and productive veterans that land one-year deals with a team in need of depth. This year, Donald Brown is one such player. Brown now joins a crowded New England backfield with his best days already behind him rushing for an average of less than 4
