Continuing my rundown of end-of-bench dynasty fantasy football players that you should feel comfortable dropping heading into the 2016 season. Danny Amendola Right now the Patriots are carrying 10 wide receivers. Amendola is 30, injury prone, and recently was forced to take a pay cut in order to keep his roster spot. New England has a few receivers that look vaguely similar physically and are…...

After months of analyzing prospects’ college statistics, NFL combine metrics, film and every other measurable in between, the NFL draft has finally come and gone. The draft has filled in the final pieces of the puzzle for our writers and dynasty rookie draft season is finally upon us. With a few days to digest draft positions, player landing spots and scheme fits, our staff is…...

I recently made a trade in a dynasty league where I moved up from the 1.06 pick to 1.03. The magnitude of these three spots seems substantially higher this year than in most others. Within hours of acquiring the 1.03 pick, I had several owners offering to trade for it. I used a Monte Carlo simulation to help decide whether or not to accept an offer…. Membership...

I’m obsessed with hitting on my first round pick in fantasy drafts. I play in high stakes leagues and there’s nothing worse than shelling out a big entry fee only to see your top pick bust….

These early months of 2016 are unlike anything we have seen in fantasy football history. The entire community has begun to wait on quarterback. Late round QB is sweeping the nation. Late-round QB was popularized as a term by J.J. Zachariason back in 2012, but few fantasy owners heeded his call. Steve Gallo then laid out the beautiful Zero QB Theorem the following year, but…...

Prosise to make offense more dynamic – Seattle Seahawks Blog- ESPN “He is a guy that I fell in love with because when I went back and watched him play at receiver, he ran all of the routes,” Carroll said. “He was a regular receiver. He had 50 targets or something two years ago. He’s a natural football player…...

I saw a strange thing after Washington drafted wide receiver Josh Doctson: People were calling it a good spot for him. I don’t think that’s correct at all. Even Shawn Siegele, who called Doctson a, “minor loser,” because of his landing spot, is underestimating things.  Let me explain why I think it’s actually pretty terrible. Before the draft, Kevin Cole identified Washington as a team with a…...

Source: John Elway hints that Paxton Lynch could start sooner than expected | FOX Sports Denver traded up to draft Lynch with the 26th pick in the first round last week, but the former Memphis Tigers QB was viewed by most to be at least a year away.

From the San Francisco Chronicle, where Trent Baalke discusses the idea of drafting for need, versus sticking to the board: “Well, you can’t force it,” Baalke said on KNBR. “You really can’t. We tried that once and that didn’t work as well as we had hoped. The board is the board.” The 49ers selected [A.J.] Jenkins with the No. 30 pick because they desperately needed…...

This article from Dr. Budoff is in response to some recent email chain requests for clarification. On 12/13/2015, Week 14, Thomas Rawls suffered a season ending ankle fracture while playing against the Ravens. Pete Carroll called Rawls’ injury “substantial” and said that there could also be “torn ankle ligaments.” The injury did not require surgery and ESPN’s Brock Huard reported in December, that “the injury…...

Skepticism about this draft class has abounded since Day 1. After a depressing NFL Draft, it’s probably time to trade out of rookie picks as fast as possible. During most seasons, picks become more valuable the closer they come to your draft date. They often take on more perceived than real value because they’re open-ended. They could represent anyone if things fall just the right…...

Some NFL draft winners and losers are less obvious than others. Here’s a look at four players whose value took a hit, but the general market hasn’t noticed yet. Josh Gordon The Cleveland Browns drafted 1…2…3…4 wide receivers. And a tight end, for good measure. When the Browns front office said earlier this year that they were moving on from Gordon, they meant it. Or at least they’re…...

Josh Ferguson landed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent. I’m a big fan of his potential going forward because of his landing spot and because he fits the mold of a popular new trend on NFL rosters. The Rise of the Pass-Catching Back I’ve written a bit this offseason about a changing dynamic in the NFL of an increase in passing completions, a coinciding decrease in depth of target, and…...
