ADP Arbitrage - Wide Receiver Draft Bargains

I've introduced this series with a look at running back comparisons to identify mid-round values at the position. Now it's time to dive into the wide receiver position. While ADP is very informative and can help you get informed about where you should start worrying about potentially missing on a player, it shouldn't have as […]

Panthers Reach Deal With Derrick Brown

The Carolina Panthers agreed to a four-year fully guaranteed deal for $23.621 million with rookie defensive tackle Derrick Brown on Friday, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. Brown, who was the seventh overall pick in the draft, becomes the first player taken in the first round in 2020 to agreed to terms. Carolina started with Brown […]

ADP Arbitrage - Running Back Draft Bargains

Did your parents ever ask you, "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?" Well, that is how fantasy football mostly works when it comes to drafting your team yearly. There is something called ADP (Average Draft Position) that is nothing more than just an aggregated mark that lets […]

UDFA Pass Catchers To Watch In Dynasty

One place where fantasy value can be found is in the large crop of players who sign as undrafted free agents. Often, very talented players don't hear their names called during the draft, but they'll latch on somewhere and carve out a role. Adam Thielen was an UDFA. So were Robby Anderson, Preston Williams, Tyrell […]

If you missed the first three installments of this 2020 NFL Draft review series, you can read the AFC East, NFC East, AFC North, and NFC North. Every year after the draft, I write a way-too-long review of each team’s draft. The purpose of this draft review is to give predictions for the careers of each team’s […]

RB Committees to Avoid in 2020

Nobody likes a running back committee. Nobody besides Austin Ekeler, I guess, but that's a story for another day. We fantasy football owners want clarity in the backfield. If we have the chance to draft a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019 we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends being. […]

Jameis Winston's New Dynasty Outlook

Jameis Winston certainly boosted many fantasy teams in all formats to championships last season as he finished fifth at QB in scoring. He led the NFL in passing yards (5,109) and the NFC in TD passes (33). But in real life, Winston was not a winner for the third consecutive season and fourth out of […]

Is Christian McCaffrey's Deal Cause for Concern?

When the news recently dropped that the Carolina Panthers were inking their superstar running back Christian McCaffrey to a four-year, $64 million extension that will pay him $16 million a year and make him the highest-paid RB in the history of the NFL, my reaction was mixed, to say the least. We’re all aware of […]

Stantley Thomas-Oliver III Helps Panthers Make History

With the 221st overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round, the Carolina Panthers selected Florida International cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III. As a result, for the first time in the common draft era, the Panthers used all of their picks on the defensive side of the ball. Carolina added to the offense […]

Baylor Defensive Lineman Bravvion Roy Goes To Panthers

With the No. 184 overall pick in the sixth round, the Carolina Panthers took Baylor defensive tackle Bravvion Roy. Roy, who stands at 6-foot-1, 330 pounds, is coming off of a breakout season as a senior in college when he had 61 total tackles and 5.5 sacks in 14 games played. He's still a much […]

Carolina Adds Another Safety In Kenny Robinson

The Carolina Panthers have selected West Virginia safety Kenny Robinson with the No. 152 selection during the 2020 NFL Draft. Carolina has used all their picks on defense thus far. They've already added safety Jeremy Chinn, but they bring in more depth with Robinson here. Robinson is an athletic and quick defender, but he might […]

Panthers Add More Defense With Troy Pride Jr.

The Carolina Panthers have selected Notre Dame cornerback Troy Pride Jr. with the No. 113 selection in the fourth round. Carolina desperately needed help at defensive back and are immediately addressing it in the early rounds. Pride has spent each of the last four years at Notre Dame, and while his numbers don't blow you […]

Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire the Next Brian Westbrook?

Hyperbole and the NFL Draft go hand in hand. Every GM, coach, and teammate of an incoming first-round pick is going to proclaim how much they love their new guy, how they had him pegged for their team all along, and inevitably throw out some comps for emphasis. Hours after the first round of the […]

Panthers Add Jeremy Chinn To Close Second Round

The Carolina Panthers have selected Southern Illinois safety Jeremy Chinn with the No. 63 pick and the final selection of the second round. The Panthers continue to add on defense, and Chinn should fit in nicely with this organization. He hauled in four interceptions during the 2019 season with Southern Illinois. Chinn is an athletic […]

Panthers Select Yetur Gross-Matos With No. 38 Selection

The Carolina Panthers have selected Penn State defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos with the No. 38 pick. He has spent each of the last three seasons at Penn State collecting 18.5 sacks over his college career. Gross-Matos adds incredible size, length, and strength at the defensive end position. During the 2019 season he recorded 40 tackles, […]

Teams Calling About Curtis Samuel

The Carolina Panthers are open to dealing wide receiver Curtis Samuel, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The 2017 second-round pick has had a modest three-season tenure in Carolina, compiling 108 receptions, 1,236 yards and 11 touchdowns in 38 games played. With the addition of former Jets WR Robby Anderson and the presence of 2018 first-round […]

Panthers Select Derrick Brown Seventh Overall

The Carolina Panthers selected Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown with the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. The first defensive tackle off the board, Brown will certainly help a porous Panthers defensive line and defense that, in general, was horrible against the run and rushing the passer in 2019, even with […]

Panthers Remain Silent About Selection For No. 7 Pick

With no trade in place that would send the Carolina Panthers further down the draft board despite recent speculation, head coach Matt Rhule has not hinted at what type of player the team may choose with the seventh overall pick in the first round, according to ESPN's David Newton. After signing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and wide […]

Early 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]

Panthers Open To Moving Back In First Round

The Carolina Panthers are among the teams open to sliding back a few spots in the first round if another team wants to trade up in order to select a quarterback, offensive tackle or cornerback inside the top 10, according to sources. The Panthers currently hold the No. 7 overall pick of the first round […]

Panthers Expected To Address Defensive Need With First Pick

The Carolina Panthers have a slew of defensive needs, and they are expected to address one of them with the No. 7 overall pick in this week's draft. They could take cornerback C.J. Henderson because of a desperate corner need, but Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown also makes a lot of sense because of Carolina's […]
