How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]

Rookie Dynasty ADP Showdown: Hakeem Butler vs Andy Isabella

A tale of two rookies on the same team. Neither one will have much value this season. But which one should you trust more for the future of your dynasty team? The Draft stock of these two players is quite different. Not only because of where they went, but also how they got there. While […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Patrick Mahomes vs Baker Mayfield

A couple of big hitters to look at today. Young, talented and to some, brash. Both have supreme confidence but show it in different ways. Patrick Mahomes is coming off one of the greatest seasons of all-time for a player at the quarterback position. 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns is perfection by almost every measure. With […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2019 - Wide Receivers (Part 2)

The fantasy football stock market for wide receivers has no offseason. There were so many wide receivers to talk about whose fantasy stock in dynasty leagues has either skyrocketed or plummeted this offseason that I had to split it into two columns. This is what happens in the pass-happy NFL these days. Whether it is […]

Rookie ADP Arbitrage - Damien Harris vs Justice Hill

Rookie running backs can be extremely popular. However, while everyone is looking at Josh Jacobs vs. Miles Sanders or David Montgomery, let us instead look at some players further down the line when it comes to your fantasy drafts. We are all hoping the top guys are going to be great. However, unless you have a […]

Dynasty ADP Arbitrage - Josh Jacobs vs Kerryon Johnson

Dynasty is a young man’s game. Not for the age of the participant, but the age of the players you want on your team. Especially at the running back position, it is imperative to find the young stud. Frank Gore notwithstanding, the typical RB hits a wall at age 30. The shelf life for a running […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Wide Receivers (Part 1)

The stock market in fantasy football is always turbulent, especially during the offseason when draft choices, free-agent signings, blockbuster trades, coaching changes and off-the-field soap operas can change a player’s fantasy value instantaneously. The NFL has the longest offseason of the four major American sports, which means there are more months for a player’s fantasy […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Eric Ebron vs Irv Smith Jr.

Trying to make decisions in a dynasty startup draft can feel like a lifetime commitment as you're picking a player who'll hopefully be sitting on your roster for years to come. One strategy is to identify some hyped up players, then identify a similar player who's going at a slightly later ADP to draft instead. […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Quarterback

With the Scott Fish Bowl finally drafting, two things are clear: The first is that charity is alive and well in the fantasy industry. The second is redraft leagues are starting to get geared up for the 2019 season. Of course, dynasty leagues have been drafting for a while now and the trade markets are active. […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2019 - Running Back Fallers

In the first part of this column, I took a look at some of the running backs whose stock is rising in dynasty leagues ahead of the 2019 season. Today, it's time to look at the opposite side of things. Fantasy football rankings are a zero-sum game. For a player to break into the top-10 […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Kyler Murray or Cam Newton?

There's been a lot of hype behind Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. Playing in an Air Raid-style offense for the Cardinals should allow Murray to be a high-volume passer fairly quickly, a guy who can be a great passer moving forward. There's also been a lot of not-hype for Cam Newton, who missed a couple […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Running Back Risers

If you play in dynasty leagues, you know how volatile things can be on a year-to-year basis. One year, you're winning a title, and the next year, your players are getting benched for rookies, injuries are tearing your team apart, and you're heading to the bottom of the league. To stay ahead, you've got to […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Christian Kirk or N'Keal Harry?

The NFL draft is completed, and, as the offseason continues to wind, dynasty drafts are slowly taking place. The wide receiver position has steadily risen in prominence in recent years as the game has taken more of a wide-open approach. While there are the clear top guys at the position when you move your way […]

Rookie Roulette - Which WR Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?

With rookie draft season in full swing, you've got some major questions to think about, especially if you're picking early in your league's draft and need to figure out which wide receiver to pick first. The commonly accepted thought on this issue is to take N'Keal Harry first, but D.K. Metcalf s also a player […]

Rookie Draft ADP Arbitrage - DK Metcalf vs Mecole Hardman

If you were hoping to grab an elite rookie running back like New York Giants' running back Saquon Barkley last year, there aren't a ton of options. On the flip side, if you're in the market for a wide receiver, there are a number of great young options including D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks […]

The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

We are very used to seeing seasonal one-man mock drafts, which have now been around since the early part of the century. I cannot officially claim to have invented the exercise, but I do not recall anyone else of prominence in our industry issuing them at the time when I published my first one around […]

Rookie Roulette - Which TE Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?

Noah Fant, tight end out of Iowa. T.J. Hockenson, tight end out of Iowa. Yes, one of these two former Hawkeyes should be the first tight end taken in rookie drafts this year. While there are some other interesting prospects at the position, your decision if you're in need of a tight end in a […]

Gaining the Trust of a Buffalo - Bills Quarterback Josh Allen

Quoting the Montana Bison Association, “You can gain their trust and friendship, but you have not really changed their basic nature----they will always be wild.” No, I’m not calling Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, an animal. I’m figuratively comparing his allure and NFL skills to the nature of this Bovidae. (And for those that say […]

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Goes After Kyler Murray in Dynasty Drafts?

Asking the question "which first-year quarterback should go first in rookie drafts" is, basically, a bad question. You don't need to read a 1000 word piece from me about why to pick Kyler Murray over the other quarterbacks in this class. No way. Kyler should be the first quarterback off the board in 100 percent […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB is #1 in Rookie Drafts?

This year's rookie class didn't feature an undisputed 1.01 player like 2018 did with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was a unique talent who led to people selling their entire dynasty teams and possibly their firstborn child to draft him. That paid off, but this year doesn't feature someone you should go all […]

Let It Go! Players We Need to Finally Drop in Dynasty

If there's one thing I'm guilty of in fantasy football, it's holding onto players in dynasty leagues way, way beyond the point where I should have just dropped them. Sometimes, I'm rewarded by being able to start Wendell Smallwood during a time where the rest of my team is injured, but usually the result is […]

Rookie Spotlight - Damien Harris

With the 87th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots took former Alabama running back, Damien Harris. Harris was the second back out of Alabama taken in this year's draft after the Oakland Raiders took Joshua Jacobs in the first round. Harris played all four years and led the team in rushing […]

Dynasty Price Check - Mike Gesicki

Last year, the Miami Dolphins spent a second-round pick on Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki. Tight end had long been a rough position for the Dolphins, as the team hasn't had a player at the position hit the 500-yard mark since Charles Clay in 2014, but the move to pick Gesicki seemed like a […]

Rookie Spotlight - Devin Singletary

In a rookie class filled with many questionable landing spots, one that has turned out to be fairly exciting is Devin Singletary landing with the Buffalo Bills. In the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Bills selected the electric running back out of FAU. During the off-season, the Bills have put together what […]

Damien Williams Is a Must-Draft... and Must-Sell

“You know what? Damien Williams is our starter,” said Chiefs RB coach Eric Bieniemy shortly before fantasy football Twitter burned down. My initial reaction to this: "No kidding, what are your other options?" Regardless, Damien Williams, it's now your turn. I don't just mean it's his chance to earn a starting gig on an NFL […]
