The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

Le'Veon Bell - Still a Fantasy First-Rounder?

We are largely in uncharted territory when it comes to Le'Veon Bell. If there has been a previous instance of an elite player sitting out a full season and changing teams, I'm not aware of it.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams, who was second in the NFL in targets with 169 last year behind Julio Jones' 170, is expected to see a healthy number of targets from quarterback Aaron Rodgers again. “I’d like to throw to Davante more,” Rodgers said. “He’s that open.

Late-Round Rookie RBs to Target in Dynasty Drafts

The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and the preparation for your fantasy football league’s upcoming season should be starting now, not in late August.

Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review

I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player.

Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

Quarterback has to be approached differently in best-ball as opposed to re-draft leagues.
