Sophomore Slump - Breakout Rookies Who Will Underperform in Year Two

2018 was an exceptionally strong year for rookies, especially at the running back position, where players like Alvin Kamara, Kareem Hunt, and Leonard Fournette put up strong numbers.

WR Rookie Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

This year’s wide receiver class was not supposed to be anything special.

Dynasty Rookie Rankings Update (Post-NFL Draft Edition)

Boy, the draft can seriously turn things on its head. Pretty much the only thing that stayed steady from the pre-draft process was that Saquon Barkley is the 1.01.

Rookie RB Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

We spent all off-season trading for top first round picks and hyping this running back class. Most felt it was just as good, if not better than the 2017 class. The draft came and went however and I couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed by landing spots for a majority of guys. A lot of rookie […]

Phillip Dorsett Has Option Declined

The New England Patriots declined to exercise wide receiver Phillip Dorsett's fifth-year option for 2019.
