Tyler Lockett: 2020 Dynasty Profile

Dynasty / By /

Tyler Lockett finally stepped into the number one wideout role for the Seattle Seahawks in 2019 and produced elite numbers when he was healthy. In 2019, Lockett played in over 90% of the offensive snaps in 8 of his first 9 games. After he was hospitalized during week 10 against the 49ers, he was only able to hit 90% of offensive snaps again one time the rest of the way. Prior to the injury, Lockett had amassed 767 yards and 6 scores through 9 weeks. In the 7 weeks after, and including the game he was injured in, he only gained 290 yards and 2 scores. In those first 9 weeks, Lockett was the third-best wide receiver in fantasy.

DFF Rookie Round Table, Part 5: AJ Dillon

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Given AJ Dillon’s massive frame, penchant for stiff arms, and his ability to break tackles and find space against stacked boxes, he seems like the ideal candidate for a massive workload in the coming seasons. He is the exact running back type that the Packers want to pound the rock during the winter months at the Frozen Tundra.

DFF Army Redraft Mock Wrap-Up

All Access / By /

Mock drafts are the best way to prepare for your real drafts. Practice makes perfect, and coming to your draft prepared is the best way to ensure you’ll be happy with your team coming out of a draft. The importance of mocks can’t be understated. Some fantasy players won’t even look at the research and will trust a cheat sheet they download minutes before the draft or even the rankings in the draft that they are doing. Trust your own rankings and thoughts on players at the end of the day do your homework. Don’t rely on what you are told or what is on the list during the draft. Fantasy is fun and one of the best ways to stay informed on where players will go in your drafts is by doing mocks.

The Derrius Guice Debate: Comeback

All Access / By /

@DFF_Karp and I are breaking down the Derrius Guice debate for 2020 redraft formats. I’ll be giving you information as to why I believe Guice is a great “bang-for-the-buck” running back to target in your redraft leagues. Meanwhile, @DFF_Karp will be telling you why he will not be drafting Derrius Guice at his current average draft position. Now, on to the evidence. Pro Derrius Guice Side As you’ll see in this article, Derrius Guice is not a surefire top ten running back this year. He is a breakout candidate that you can find in the middle rounds of redraft leagues. When looking at Guice, it is important to look through the lens of potential value based on where you draft him. If you are looking for safety with your third or fourth running back, look elsewhere. Guice is the ultimate high-ceiling, low-floor player. I propose that at his current draft position, he can only win you a league. Not lose you a championship.  College Production At LSU, Derrius Guice gained over 1,300 scrimmage yards in back-to-back seasons. He also had at least 13 touchdowns in both of his final two years. That is an elite level running back production. Enough to make him a top-five Heisman candidate in 2017. Coming out of college, he had elite metrics including a 4.49 40-yard dash time putting him in the 80th percentile and a breakout age of 19. He was dominant enough at LSU to be taken in the 2nd round in the NFL draft with the thought that he would take over

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.
