3 Cheap IDP Sleepers I’m Targeting: Defensive Back

Unless it’s elite talent paired with elite usage, I don’t like to pay up for defensive players in IDP leagues. Fantasy IDPs are a lot like real-life RBs in that they’re cheap, replaceable, and don’t really matter. Generally speaking, we want to be buying cheap snaps and waiting for that sweet variance to kick in. In this series, we’ll look at some cheap/free dynasty IDP…...

Generating Buzz: 3 Deep Sleepers to Monitor Heading Into Camp

It seems that only novices place significant importance on OTAs or minicamps.

But sometimes a team, or normally a coach, will give us a nugget about…...

Is Drafting Rashaad Penny Wise?

Last year I wrote about my hometown hero, San Diego State University alum Rashaad Penny, as an elite NFL prospect. Although he was from a small Mountain West school, he sported a class-leading College Dominator Rating above 50% and had the second-highest score in the RB Prospect Lab. Yet Penny was possibly overdrafted in reality when he was taken by the run-heavy Seattle Seahawks in the…...

Opportunity Scores: The Top Landing Spots For Rookie Wide Receivers

A few years ago, RotoViz OG Kevin Cole created a formula for determining which teams were the best landing spots for rookie wide receivers. In fantasy and real football, performance is a function of opportunity. Whether the opportunity was created through talent, draft position, or lack of competition, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is raw opportunity because targets are the lifeblood of fantasy scoring…....

3 Inexpensive Devy Assets Poised For a Breakout … and a Price Increase

Acquiring devy assets is kind of like investing in the stock market. With time remaining in college, their value could drastically increase with a productive season or it could tank just as quickly.

Additionally, with the volatility of these selections, finding a late-round gem can be incredibly valuable to teams. Whether the player…...
