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 […]

Teams That Won and Lost the 2019 NFL Draft

If the 2019 NFL Draft took place 10 years ago, with the exact same pool of players to choose from, Kyler Murray would not have been the first overall pick. He would likely not have been the first quarterback taken, and perhaps would not have been drafted in the first round. He is short in […]

Rams Could Use More Two-Running Back Sets

After drafting running back Darrell Henderson in the third round with the 70th overall pick, the Los Angeles Rams could use more two-running back sets to help protect Todd Gurley in 2019.

Instant Reaction - NFL Draft Round 4-7 Winners/Losers

The third day of the NFL Draft is when things can start to drag on for people who aren't super into the NFL, but it's also where there's a ton of value to be had. Teams can fill a lot of holes -- particularly at a position like running back -- late in the draft. […]

Darrell Henderson A Change-Of-Pace Back

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay consider running back Darrell Henderson as a change-of-pace back to Todd Gurley. McVay called Henderson a unique playmaker, but the pick was made more for Henderson's skills and not Gurley's knee. The Rams took Henderson with the sixth pick of the third round […]

Dynasty Price Check - Marvin Jones

The next edition of Dynasty Price Check moves to Detroit. Kenny Golladay's stock keeps shooting up in dynasty leagues but what about lesser-hyped wideout Marvin Jones? A lost second half due to injury could provide a buy-low opportunity but a sluggish Lions offense may not inspire greater numbers than he has already produced in the […]

Rams Exercise Jared Goff's Option

The Los Angeles Rams picked up quarterback Jared Goff's fifth-year option on Tuesday in a no-brainer move. Goff has thrown for 9,581 yards with 65 touchdowns while completing 62.1 percent of his passes. He's gone 24-7 with a 100.8 passer rating while leading the Rams to two straight NFC West titles in the last two […]

Dynasty Price Check - Eric Ebron

It took him five years and his second team, but tight end Eric Ebron was finally able to put it all together with the Indianapolis Colts last year. The former 15th overall pick saw career highs in nearly every category, including catches, yards and touchdowns with an eye-popping 14 total, including his one rushing score […]

Dynasty Price Check - Kenyan Drake

We continue our offseason series of dynasty price checks with a look at Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake.

Dynasty Breakouts for 2019 – Running Back

Fantasy football players should never give up on running backs, especially if those backs did not amount to much during their rookie campaigns the year prior. 2018 was the coming out party for three running backs --- Pittsburgh’s James Conner, Seattle’s Chris Carson and Indianapolis’ Marlon Mack. All three were drafted in 2017 but did […]

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 […]
