So youโ€™ve got an early pick in your start-up draft this off-season and youโ€™re not sure what to do? Iโ€™m going to be continuing this series to help you out.

Dynasty Outlook: Travis Etienne

After being injured during the preseason of his rookie season and sitting out his entire first year, Travis Etienne (RB – JAX) had a troubled beginning to his sophomore season. After beginning the season losing touches to third-year veteran James Robinson (RB – NYJ), he finally broke out in Game 5 and following that he posted stellar rushing performances, having a notable 25-yard + rush in seemingly every game. Ending his season as RB17 and having 12 ppg vaulted his value to RB five on KTC, placing him just between Christian McCaffrey (RB – SFO) and Saquon Barkley (RB – NYG) in the RB category, and Kyler Murray (QB – ARZ) and Chris Olave (WR – NO) overall.

The Panic Meter: Week 1

The first week of the NFL season rarely goes according to plan. We spend so much time speculating about roles, depth charts, and market shares, but then the actual football begins and suddenly Zack Moss is a featured satellite back and Joe Burrow canโ€™t stop throwing interceptions.ย We donโ€™t want to overreact, but we do have to react. Thatโ€™s where the Panic Meter comes in. Iโ€™ll take the most stress-inducing players from Week 1, break down their performance, and let you knowโ€“on a scale of 1 to 10โ€“just how much youโ€™re allowed to worry.

ShipChaser’s Top 10 Lessons From Poker To Apply In Fantasy Football #6-10

If you run really bad at poker one night, chances are youโ€™ll do better the next night. Even within one long session, if you play your cards right, more times than not you will see variance begin to swing in your favor. In dynasty fantasy football, playing your cards right might mean it takes a couple of seasons before variance fully swings around. Even redraft is a remarkably slower timescale in terms of payout turnaround than poker, where you can get paid daily. Did I say โ€˜dailyโ€™? There is a reason daily FF has exploded and it has everything to do with variance and getting paid off quickly, not once every twelve months.ย

Fantasy Stock Up, Stock Down: Jacksonville Jaguars

Welcome back to the โ€œFantasy Stock Up, Stock Downโ€ series (off-season edition). The big free agency splash moments are all but over at this point, and the NFL Draft is approaching quickly. We as Dynasty Managers need to be evaluating these off-season transactions and thinking about our roster adjustments every day. Who are we going to target in rookie drafts? Who are we going to go out and trade for? Who are we willing to give up in return? Will you go all in this season to bring home a championship? Or should you go young and prepare for the future? Thereโ€™s so much to think about before September. The โ€œoff-season editionโ€ of this series is an early look at whose stock is up and whose stock is down as we head into draft season. We will break down each NFL team one by one. Today is all about the Jacksonville Jaguars.ย

Free Agency Day 1: Dynasty Winners and Losers

James Conner is coming off a highly productive season in Arizona last year. He ran for 752 yards and 18 touchdowns in 15 games, good for seventh overall in fantasy points per game. We should expect touchdown regression next season given the rate of over one TD per game last year. He turns 27 in May so the finer details of the contract will be interesting.ย  Three years seems like a significant commitment but there will be contract outs given the contract is for $13.5 million guaranteed.

Dynasty Rookie Pick Hit Rates in FFPC: Part 2

Last summer I wrote about my historic FFPC dynasty rookie hit rates, and how those later picks in the third and fourth rounds typically hold at least a couple of gems. If you can find the space on the limited roster in this format, those later picks are worth scrapping for. I spend them just as easily. I never let a third-round pick get in the way of making a bigger deal that I like. Often I will add a third to my offer just to further entice my potential partner.
