Rookie Mock Draft Recap - What the Experts Were Thinking

Just after the NFL Draft finished up, we assembled our fantasy football dynasty writers for a rookie mock draft. This was a 10-team draft that went eight rounds (because we're fiends). League settings were PPR, single-QB, dynasty, rookies only. To see the full board in all its glory hosted by our friends at Sleeper, check […]

Just a Sophomore Slump - Third-Year Players Who Will Rebound in 2019

Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes threw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey ran for 1,000 yards and added 867 receiving yards, and both Pittsburgh’s James Conner and Seattle’s Chris Carson had breakout rushing seasons after doing little during their rookie […]

Dynasty IDP Rookie Linebacker Risers and Fallers (Part 2)

Linebackers are a very situation-dependant position in IDP fantasy football, regardless of your scoring. If you aren't on the field consistently, you probably won't produce consistently. This makes landing spot and draft capital more important for linebacker than for any other position. With the 2019 NFL Draft in the books, we can finally take a […]

They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player

Every year, the NFL Draft treats viewers to surprises. Often, those surprises are...not necessarily good ones. Teams make mistakes, or they make non-mistakes that appear to be mistakes at first glance, and those mistakes can have serious fantasy football ramifications. Last year, I wrote this column and pegged the following players as wrong choices: Josh […]

David Montgomery Garnering Kareem Hunt Comparisons

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery, the team's third-round pick, has drawn comparisons to former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, who rushed for 1,327 yards and caught 53 passes as a rookie when Matt Nagy was the offensive coordinator for Kansas City in 2017. Montgomery should have a sizeable role in his rookie season and […]

Browns Could Trade For Gerald McCoy

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey is believed to be interested in trading for Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy following the draft. He led Tampa in quarterback hits (21) last year, and the Buccaneers could use running back Duke Johnson, who has requested a trade out of Cleveland. McCoy, 31, was the third […]

Greedy Williams Taken By Browns

The Cleveland Browns traded up with the Colts and selected Louisiana State cornerback Greedy Williams with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. At this point in the second round, this represents pretty good value for one of the best cornerback prospects in the draft. Williams is tall and athletic and has […]

Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?

This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Kansas City Chiefs

What a difference a quarterback makes. Second-year QB Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs starter and immediately made this team into a force in fantasy football. The excitement that he brings to the game goes without saying. His season was one of the best in league history (5.097 yards and 52 total TDs). He was a […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (April 2019)

Duke Johnson A Vital Part Of Offense

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey said that running back Duke Johnson is "a member of this organization moving forward," and head coach Freddie Kitchens believes Johnson is a vital part of the offense.

Nick Chubb Should Be Starter In 2019

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb should be the starting running back in 2019, even after Kareem Hunt serves his eight-game suspension. Chubb, the No. 33 pick in 2018, earned the team's trust with a strong rookie season and should be in the RB1 conversation during draft season. However, Hunt, who led the league in […]

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Derrius Guice

Last season, the Washington Redskins drafted Derrius Guice and hopes were high that the former LSU running back could be the long term answer for a team that had gone through a revolving door of backs since Alfred Morris went to Dallas after the 2015 season. Instead, Guice tore his ACL and missed the entire […]

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Corey Davis

The Tennessee Titans drafted Corey Davis fifth overall in the 2017 draft to be their number one wide receiver, and they've received mixed results since making that selection. He's put a few good games, such as his nine catch, 161 yards with a touchdown performance he put up last year against the Philadelphia Eagles. The […]

Browns Re-Sign Orson Charles

The Cleveland Browns re-signed tight end/fullback Orson Charles to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday.

The former fourth-rounder appeared in 49 games with the Bengals, Lions, […]

Johnson comes cheap this year and is one of the more […]
