An Open Letter to Kyler Murray

Oklahoma dual-sport athlete Kyler Murray declared for the NFL Draft on Monday, just seven months after being selected by the Oakland Athletics with the ninth overall pick in the MLB Draft.

Carson Wentz - Dynasty Dud or Buy-Low?

Coming into last season, Carson Wentz was high on the list of dynasty quarterbacks. His amazing 2017 season solidified his position, even with his ACL injury which cut short what could have been an MVP campaign. Turn to 2018 and we were still high on him and hoping he came back strong from his ACL. […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Bowl Season - Week 2 Edition)

The first week of bowls is past and it was a mixed bag of results. Some games were competitive while others turned into blowouts quickly. This week continues the matchups of non-traditional power programs, but also features some of the better offenses in the country. Today, we'll take a look at three prospects, including one […]

Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Bowl Season - Week 1 Edition)

Bowl season is finally here. We're still a few weeks away from deciding the national champion, but there are some intriguing NFL prospects in early games. There's a misguided belief that top dynasty assets exclusively come from traditional powerhouse programs, but there's plenty of talent in these early games. And if you look close enough, […]

What Is Kareem Hunt's Dynasty Value?

To start off, I am going to make it clear that this article is about the dynasty value of Kareem Hunt not knowing in any definitive way what the future holds for his NFL career. This is not going to opine on the legal aspects or moral aspects of what transpired with him recently. No […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Conference Championship Week Edition)

If you're a fan of chaos, Rivalry Week may have fallen a little short with only one significant upset, but with four top ten teams suffering a loss, the college football rankings have been changed in a big way. The final pieces to the puzzle to decide the teams in the College Football Playoff will […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 13 Edition)

There's not a lot to be said for Week 12. I said in my preview last week that the slate was fairly ugly and it, mostly, lived up to that statement. It did, however, serve as a perfect warmup for Week 13. Rivalry week is here. We've got the Apple Cup and Civil War out […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 12 Edition)

Week 11 didn't have much drama among the playoff contending teams. Oklahoma had a scare in their rivalry game, but ultimately left with a win. And with all of the top teams winning, there was no change into top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings. Week 12 is an ugly slate of games for […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 11 Edition)

Week 10 was arguably the most anticipated set of games of the year. And while they did have a meaningful impact on the college football playoff rankings, they fell short of the classic games you've come to expect from top ten matchups. Week 11 isn't exactly a top slate of games, but sometimes those are […]

Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook

It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 10 Edition)

Week 9 was a fun one. A few of the top 10 teams established their dominance and make a case for the college football playoff while two top ten teams were somewhat exposed and now appear to be on the outside looking in. This week should be another fun one with a handful of meaningful […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 9 Edition)

Week 8 was terrible. Just awful. Ok, I'm just being a bit spiteful since I'm an Ohio State fan and had to watch my team suffer another embarrassing road loss as a multiple score favorite. But if you're not a grumpy Ohio State fan like myself, you probably really enjoyed another weekend of games that featured […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Dynasty Outlook

If you're a fan of dynasty Twitter, you're well aware of who Tre'Quan Smith is and what he brings to the table in New Orleans. The biggest uptick that you're looking at with Smith right now comes from the veteran wide receiver, Ted Ginn, heading to IR. In Week 5 when Ginn was sidelined, Smith […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 8 Edition)

I thought that Week 7 was going to be one of the better weeks of the season, but, even while thinking that, I could not have predicted the mayhem that occurred. The top 10 rankings had to be completely overhauled with four top 10 losses and we were close to one more. Week 8 features […]

Dynasty Outlook - Tarik Cohen and Jordan Howard

Heading into the 2018 Fantasy Football season, Jordan Howard was the guy to own. For redraft leagues, Howard was going around the second or third round, sometimes even sooner. Finishing the 2017 season with 185 points in PPR scoring put Howard tied with Ezekiel Elliott for the RB12. Many owners were expecting Howard to take […]

Rookie Worth Your Attention In Week 7

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally, some […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 7 Edition)

Traditional powers appear to be back in a big way in college football. Texas has bounced back from their week 1 loss to Maryland and appears to be a contender in the Big12. Notre Dame has beaten what appears to be their most difficult match ups and now look to be among the favorites to […]

Deep Dynasty Pickups to Stash - Week 6

If you've been following the NFL at all this year, you'll know that this year has been a crazy year for touchdowns scored, fantasy numbers, and many other stats. Not to mention, a load of […]

Dynasty Outlook - The Packers Rookie WRs

When it comes to the Packers offense, everyone wants to get a piece where they can get it. There's no denying the upside that Aaron Rodgers brings to the table for the pass-catchers in that offense. We've seen guys like James Jones come in and have some very valuable fantasy seasons. Obviously, there's Jordy Nelson […]

Dynasty Outlook - Josh Gordon

Dynasty football is a game that many owners, including myself, treat like the stock market. You buy low, you sell high, and sometimes you're just better off holding onto a player. Throughout the years, there have been many players whose value rises and falls in drastic measures at times. Perhaps one of the most polarizing […]

Dynasty Outlook - Keke Coutee

Keke Coutee (WR, Houston Texans) Height/Weight - 5'9" 180 lbs College - Texas Tech Heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, Keke Coutee wasn't exactly a name on everyone's radar. For you fellow dynasty football fans, he was a guy looking like a third-round pick or so in your dynasty rookie drafts. Landing with the Houston […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 6 Edition)

It's going to be difficult to top the showcase game from week 5 this week, but that's also probably the case for the rest of the season. Week 6 features one of the longest rivalries in all of sports between Oklahoma and Texas, but there's also lower profile matchups that should provide entertainment throughout the […]

Rookies Worth Your Attention in Week 5

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally, some […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 5 Edition)

Week four went better than expected. There was a major comeback in a high profile game and there was a shocking upset. On a week that wasn't expected to provide much entertainment value, it was a strong week. There are huge playoff implications for two games in week five. The winners of the Penn State/Ohio […]

Deep Dynasty Pickups to Stash - Week 4

The 2018 Fantasy Football season is in full swing! We haven't seen a significant number of major injuries this year, yet we still have some names out there that are worth grabbing. If you're in dynasty leagues, you know just how tough it can be to pick up a free agent that ends up being […]

Which Lion is King of the Jungle?

It’s not often that an NFL offense can produce enough volume to make three wide receivers all fantasy relevant, each and every week. Luckily for us owners, the Detroit Lions have established themselves quite a stable of pass catchers. I’m of course talking about Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, and Kenny Golladay. Neither of these three […]

#TrendingNow - Week 4 Dynasty Risers and Fallers

It was a wild Week 3. I feel like I have said that hundreds of times since Monday night ended but it’s the truth and I feel like I need to say it more just to believe all the craziness. Most of us should just put last week out of mind and let’s get ready […]
