Full Story »Fantasy Rookie Dynasty Profile: CLE RB Duke Johnson
When you think of a rookie RB this season to recommend for dynasty leagues, the first couple of names stick out are Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon III.

Full Story »Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) – 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target as QB2, Streamer, or QB1 in Deep Leagues CURRENT ADP: 138 STD, 163 PPR ANALYSIS: Fantasy-wise Jay Cutler is, in a word, boring.

Full Story »Dolphin's RB Lamar Miller, The Forgotten RB1
Mention that you are targeting Lamar Miller in your fantasy draft, and you will likely to get some slanted looks and horror stories from your friends.
