NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Seattle Seahawks
Given the talent on the roster, the Seattle Seahawks actually overachieved in 2018. Something has to be said for this coaching staff for what they got from the likes of Chris Carson and the group of receivers. Some of the praise should, of course, be shifted to Russell Wilson. Although the passing yardage wasn't there, […]

The 2018 season was one of discord for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one that played out for all eyes to see. With Le'Veon Bell choosing to sit out the entire season due to a contract dispute, Ben Roethlisberger put together his best statistical season to date (5,129 yards and 37 total TD, 456.10 FP). Although the […]

After a late surge to make the playoffs in 2017, the 2018 season was a lost one for the Titans. The "franchise" quarterback, Marcus Mariota, had an extremely subpar year. He was constantly battling injuries and could only muster a finish as QB26 in fantasy (2,528 yards and 13 total TD). Even though he was […]

When it comes to Kirk Cousins' first season in Minnesota, mixed reviews would probably be the description. Although he finished as QB9 in fantasy (4,298 yards and 31 total TDs), much more was expected from not only fantasy owners but the Vikings fans themselves. His weekly performances were all over the place. He had five […]

The 2018 season was a lost one for the Carolina Panthers. It was apparent that Cam Newton was playing hurt towards the end of the season, likely costing this team a shot at the playoffs. The overall numbers were respectable for Newton (3,395 yards and 28 total TD) but during the fantasy playoffs, he disappeared […]

The Washington Redskins are another intriguing team heading towards the NFL Draft. After the injury to Alex Smith sent them scrambling for a QB, the team decided to trade for Case Keenum, who disappointed in his only year in Denver. Keenum, assuming he starts, will not have much to work with on the outside. Gone […]

The 2018 Atlanta Falcons were a Jekyll and Hyde team. On offense, they were among the league's best in moving the ball (sixth in total yards) but on defense, they could not stop anyone (25th in 26.4 PPG allowed). Matt Ryan rebounded in a big way from a poor 2017 (4,923 yards with 38 total […]

Another team looking at new beginnings is the Miami Dolphins. Adam Gase is off to New York and Ryan Tannehill will be the backup QB in Tennessee. Replacing them is former Patriots defensive coordinator Bryan Flores and the team signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to be the bridge to another franchise QB. The question will be just […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - Green Bay Packers Outlook
The 2018 season for the Green Bay Packers proved to be a waste of yet another great statistical season for Aaron Rodgers (4,442 yards and 27 total TDs). The team seemed to be playing uninspired football under what proved to be Mike McCarthy's final season as head coach. Enter new HC Matt LaFleur, whose name […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are on the verge of a full-on rebuild beginning in 2019. New HC Zac Taylor inherits a team that is a mix of talented young players with aging veterans needing to be replaced. One of which is Andy Dalton. Dalton, who has flashed potential over the years, is in dire need of […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - Denver Broncos Outlook
The winds of change have hit the mile high city. Gone are Vance Joseph and Case Keenum, enter Vic Fangio and Joe Flacco. Flacco seems more like a bridge to the next franchise quarterback rather than a player that Fangio will be hanging his career on. Flacco is obviously on the downside of his career […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - Buffalo Bills Outlook
Although the way the season unraveled for the Buffalo Bills, the argument can be made that this a team headed in the right direction. They have likely found their quarterback of the future in Josh Allen, while also sporting a young and improving defense. Just two years removed from a playoff appearance, with just a […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - Detroit Lions Outlook
The first year of the Matt Patricia era for the Detroit Lions did not go exactly as planned. The team struggled on both sides of the ball, while Matthew Stafford (3,777 yards, 21 TDs, 11 INTs) had his worst statistical season since 2012. There seemed to be a disconnect between Patricia and now departed OC […]

Following a near trip to the Super Bowl in 2017, the Jaguars came crashing back down to Earth in 2018. The team was seemingly in the mindset that things would play out the same as the previous season, just by showing up on the field. Nothing could be further from the case. Blake Bortles regressed […]

If you look in the dictionary for the definition of a team with no direction you will find the New York Giants. Dating back to last year's draft where the team declined to find Eli Manning's successor in a loaded QB class, the Giants appear to be stuck in the mud. Sure, they hit it […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers Outlook
Another team at the top of this draft under new management is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and new HC Bruce Arians. He will be bringing with him a pedigree that ensures that this offense will be one to keep an eye on in 2019. The defense will potentially be suspect, especially in the tough NFC […]

A common theme that you will see with the teams at the top of this year's draft is starting over. That is exactly the case with the New York Jets. Gone is Todd Bowles, enter Adam Gase. Gone is Isaiah Crowell, enter Le'Veon Bell. The front office is hoping that these two moves help improve […]

What a difference a year makes for the Oakland Raiders. This time last year, the team was back under the control of Jon Gruden and we were all left wondering what would be in store for them. After several questionable moves later (dealing away Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper), the 2018 Raiders were an embarrassing […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - San Francisco 49ers Outlook
The 2018 San Francisco 49ers were a team that was haunted by the injury bug. Both major acquisitions (Jimmy Garoppolo and Jerick McKinnon) went down early to season-ending injuries, causing this team to dig deep into their depth chart for help. Even the players brought in to fill those roles found themselves missing time as […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoNFL Draft 32 for 32 - Arizona Cardinals Outlook
There is a reason why the Cardinals hold the top pick heading into the draft. This team was terribly inept on both sides of the ball. Worst in points scored on offense (14.1 PPG) and 25th in points allowed on defense (26.6 PPG). The team looked devoid of talent for most of the season and […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoDynasty Takeaways from the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine
The skill position players have wrapped up their workouts at the NFL Combine and now it's time for us in the fantasy football world to overthink what that actually means. Many use the combine as an end-all-be-all in terms of rookie evaluations. But that is far from what should be the case. Same as running […]

The 2019 wide receiver draft class may not be stockpiled with potential studs at the NFL level, but it could be one of the deeper positions this year. You may not see many of these receivers make an immediate impact in the league but odds are a few of these names will be making spot […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoTop 10 Running Back Rookies - NFL Draft Preview
A pivotal debate in the fantasy football community over the last few years has been how the running back position is becoming devalued. That point has merit based solely on the fact of how well rookie running back classes have performed in recent memory. Sure, high-profile names such as Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley, and Saquon […]

The 2018 NFL Draft was highlighted by the quarterback class that went on to do some nice things during their rookie seasons. The incoming class will not be much to write home about in terms of star potential. You will see some names come off the board early, but expecting Baker Mayfield or Lamar Jackson-type […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years ago2018 Biggest Breakouts - Wide Receivers
Due to the scoring output that we saw from the quarterbacks during the 2018 season, we also saw an uptick in value from the receivers as well. In fact, we had five receivers top 320 fantasy points last season, marking the first time since 2015 that ANY receiver has hit that mark. What we saw […]
Brandon Murchison 6 years agoBiggest Breakouts of 2018 - Quarterbacks
The 2018 fantasy football season was one of the highest scoring in recent memory at the quarterback position. There were three players to score over 400 fantasy points (Patrick Mahomes, Matt Ryan, and Ben Roethlisberger), the most since the 2011 season. One of the biggest surprises was the influx of new blood towards the top […]
