The Throw-ins: Part 1

Dynasty / By /

Everyone knows the names of big-name players and why you should target them. These are not those guys. These are the other guys. Players who often end up getting cut by one team when making trades so that they don’t exceed the roster limit. These are players that could amount to nothing come 2020 or players that you can stream during bye weeks.

It’s Okay to Overpay: D.J. Moore

Dynasty / By /

Too often when playing dynasty fantasy football we get enamored with being able to buy low on players. Don’t get me wrong. Buying low on a player is a sound strategy. But sometimes players are worth the full cost of their market value. In even rarer cases some players are worth overpaying for. Even overpaying is a relative term. If you overpay today for a player who turns into a perennial WR1/RB1 in the future, did you really overpay? What someone sees as an overpay today could be looked at completely differently next season. I’m a strong proponent of paying up to acquire players when I believe they will be long-term fantasy studs. One such player that fits that definition for me is D.J. Moore.

Can Bad Passing Offenses Provide Fantasy Relevant Wide Receivers? Part 2

Dynasty / By /

During the just completed fantasy season, I thought about the fantasy scoring that stems from bad offenses. Specifically, wide receiver scoring from poor passing offenses. I suspect that the wide receiver from a bad offense who scores the most fantasy points isn’t a particularly good long term fantasy asset. Though that seems intuitive, I wanted to take a look through history to see if this thought is correct. Gathering data is instructive.

The Waiver Wire: Week 16

Dynasty / By /

Hopefully, I’ll be able to help you whether you’re reading this in preparation for your upcoming championship game or to accrue assets for 2020. Only two teams are alive in your leagues (assuming you don’t have a Week 17 championship). That means you should be looking to the future if you aren’t one of those

You’re Dead to Me: Corey Davis

Dynasty / By /

Every season there are bound to be players who disappoint you in fantasy football. Some years it might be a player that’s already disappointed you in the past. In the worst cases, this same player keeps disappointing you year after year. That’s what this series will examine. Players who I can no longer deal with having on my dynasty rosters.

Dynasty Waiver Wire: Week 15

Dynasty / By /

Whether you’re in the playoffs or not, you need to still work the waiver wire. Never stop working the wire. The NFL still has several weeks of the regular season left, which means injuries and poor play will provide us with players to our rosters. Some of these players could be one week fill-ins for your playoff team. Some may end up being stashes we use in the future. Most are likely to flame out never to be heard of again. But that’s why we have roster space. Pick up players to plug and play, or to stash.

Can Bad Passing Offenses Provide Fantasy Relevant Wide Receivers? Part 1

Dynasty / By /

Are wide receivers from a bad offense who score the most fantasy points good long term fantasy assets? Though that seems intuitive, I wanted to take a look past history to see what could be deduced from the information. Gathering data is instructive. You start out looking for one thing, but you never know what you will find once you begin to parse the data.

Dynasty Thanksgiving

Dynasty / By /

thaHappy early Thanksgiving! I’m not much of the sentimental type but I thought it apt to share some of the players that I’m thankful for this season. It’s so easy to lament the poor performances and the underperformers in fantasy, but I wanted to put something positive into the universe. There is no criteria for

The Waiver Wire: Week 13

Dynasty / By /

Welcome to the playoffs! Most leagues start their playoffs this week. Whether you’re looking for a player to plug and play this week or you’re looking for just depth, it’s vital to keep working the waiver wire. Even if you’re out of the playoffs, that doesn’t mean your work is done either. The NFL season is still ongoing, which means there will still be injuries as well as players losing or winning themselves starting roles.

The Waiver Wire: Week 12

Dynasty / By /

Some weeks your best strategy is to keep your FAAB in your wallets and save it for another day. This is not one of those weeks. Though not especially deep, there are some quality options available this week. Several running backs will be in line for significant workloads. There is also a receiving back who could help your team in the playoff chase. If you’re looking towards 2020 already, there’s a player or two to stash at the bottom of your rosters.
