What To Expect From Jalen Hurd In 2020

Speculation is one of the toughest aspects of fantasy football, especially in the dynasty community. If you’ve been around fantasy football long enough, you’ve likely come across different people touting their model for identifying prospects or how what shows up on film is more important than what shows up on paper. It gets even tougher to accurately project a player when he hasn’t played a…...

3 Undervalued Wide Receivers to Target in Dynasty This Offseason

We are at the point of the offseason where rookie fever is reaching its peak. The combine is behind us, and the NFL Draft is fast approaching. The urge to either sell or acquire rookie picks is strong. However, I am here to suggest an alternative route, especially if your team is contending. As the league becomes more pass-friendly, there is value to be had…...

Which Middle-Round TE Should You Target In Dynasty Startups?

We are amid a resurgence at the tight end position. Yes, the position is still top-heavy thanks to perennial studs Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz. However, savvy fantasy owners are starting to identify value and potential earlier in the process and later in rounds. Those of you who took a chance on Mark Andrews or Darren Waller last season, as an example, were richly rewarded…....

Who Is the Real D.J. Chark?

To say that some were blindsided by D.J. Chark’s sophomore breakout would be a bit of an understatement. Check out this train wreck of a rookie season: Chark — a second-round draft pick who only posted 174 receiving yards without a score in his rookie season — was widely regarded as a bust. However, those dynasty owners who trusted the process and were patient were…...

Kenny Golladay is the Perfect Target for Win-Now Rosters

Fantasy owners should always be in win-now mode. A recent pet peeve of mine has been hearing owners talk about going all in and selling future assets to try to win a title. On the other hand, some owners speak about playing the long game of rebuilding by selling studs to acquire future capital. Yes, both can work. Sometimes your roster is limited by injuries,…...

Is Parris Campbell Ready To Take The Next Step?

How do you properly evaluate a rookie when there’s not much to assess? Enter Parris Campbell. Everything was set for a promising rookie season: Andrew Luck at quarterback Solid combine performance Second-round draft capital We all know how the quarterback situation changed. Couple that with a string of injuries that included a sports hernia, a hamstring injury, a broken hand, and a broken foot, and the…...

Is Preston Williams the Next UDFA Star?

Exceptions to the norm tend to throw people off their game. Take Phillip Lindsay, for example. The undrafted running back from Colorado became the first undrafted offensive rookie to be selected to the Pro Bowl. He also became the first undrafted running back to break the 1,000-yard rushing mark in back-to-back seasons. Talk about a difficult player to appropriately evaluate. Another player who is primed…...

Identifying the Next WR2 in the Steel City

Trying to identify the next long-term WR2 in Pittsburgh is a fun offseason exercise. JuJu Smith-Schuster will regain control of the WR1 role with a presumable clean bill of health as well as the hopeful return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. But two intriguing candidates are vying to play opposite Smith-Schuster in what could once again be an explosive Steelers offense. Let’s take a deeper dive…...

Sell Zach Ertz and Replace Him With This Younger Alternative

I talked about roster management in a previous article and how it’s one of my favorite aspects of playing in dynasty leagues. Well, guess what? I have a roster management move you should make this offseason. I believe that if you wait any longer, the “sweet spot” that we’re in will close and the value won’t be the same. There are several reasons I believe…...

Is a Secondary Breakout in Store for Michael Gallup?

If you drafted Michael Gallup as a rookie, you were admittedly disappointed. However, like everything in fantasy football, context matters. Gallup’s incoming measurables and draft capital were strong but not elite. His landing spot in 2018 came with some question marks such as: A quarterback who failed to eclipse 4,000 passing yards in a season during his career A team that averaged 26th in the…...

Why You Should Buy High on Deebo Samuel

Roster management has quickly become one of my favorite aspects of dynasty football. The concept of running a team year-round, crafting it and tweaking it to my liking, and scoring big on off-season trades is just as fun as the in-season thrill of weekly matchups. I am working on being more aggressive this offseason. There is one player I have come to love throughout the…...
