There’s a slice of the fantasy football world that does not like Jordan Matthews and keeps doubling down on that dislike each year. Meanwhile Matthews has had an incredibly productive first two years in the league considering the fact that his quarterbacks include mostly players that would be sources of excuse-making for other wide receivers. I’m not one of the Jordan Matthews haters. I have…...

Wide receiver Devin Lucien started his career at UCLA where compiled not very many yards in a three season career before transferring to Arizona State. As a college graduate he was immediately available for the 2015 season and finished his career on a high note as a Sun Devil. Lucien had fewer than 800 yards during his first three years in college and then this…...

This is a continuation of my attempt to get as many off the radar guys into posts before draft night as possible. To give you a hint as to how I’m arriving at some of these names what I’m doing involves using the arbitrage function of the Box Score Scout. The arbitrage setting limits the comps to current year rookies. So all I do is…...

We’re getting closer and closer to the NFL Draft so I thought rather than write up our 20th Corey Coleman post I would take the time to highlight some really under the radar guys who still have a snowball’s chance in hell of being fantasy relevant at some point in their careers. These are guys who, due to draft position or holes in their prospect…...

One of my favorite things about the offseason is tracking how players’ value changes over time. In this article, I’m going to look at 7 rookies rising in dynasty drafts, based on the RotoViz pre-Combine rookie mock and the pre-Draft rookie mock….

In MFL10s, the later rounds of the draft can seem a little bleak. You’re often deciding between a backup running back or wide receiver and hoping for a possible injury in front of them that will open up a path to usage. But some of this year’s late round picks have greater value than those handcuffs looking for a break…. Membership Required You must be...

Fun Twitter game: ask for Derrick Henry comparables. Inevitably, Brandon Jacobs will come up. Some will argue that’s a fair comp, and others will disagree. Using this as a starting point, here are some thoughts about running back weight and player comps. Generating Player Comparables Option One – Broad Weight / Large Sample Is it fair to compare Henry to Jacobs based on their size? First, let’s talk generally…...

Historically, the New England Patriots have shown a preference for drafting fast wide receivers. Going all the way back to 2002, of the 13 WRs they’ve drafted only two ran slower than a 4.50 forty yard dash. Those were Julian Edelman, a seventh-round QB convert, and David Givens, another seventh-round pick. Edelman ran a 4.52 and Givens ran a 4.57, so it’s not as though they were…...

Last year I wrote about the hidden value of special teams stats and suggested that guys like DeMarco Murray, Duke Johnson and Karlos Williams would have looked like much better prospects if we appropriately valued their return-game contributions….

Rashad Jennings is currently going late in MFL10s, with 48 running backs being taken before him, including his stablemate Shane Vereen. But could grabbing Jennings this late actually be a shrewd move?… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

Here’s a quick exercise I did using the Dynasty ADP App. First I ran it for startups from the beginning of January through the middle of February; then I ran it for mid-February to mid-April startups. Next, I compared ADP differences for the top 180 players – roughly the first 15 rounds. Finally, I just sorted to find players that have risen, or fallen, the most…....

I recently made the case that you need to trade Thomas Rawls before the NFL Draft, and a big part of that was his lack of receiving production. Fantasy relevance is an uphill climb for RBs who don’t consistently catch passes, so it’s discouraging when a back like Rawls gets a lot of raw opportunity but it doesn’t translate to receiving production….

Earlier this offseason I identified Ryan Mathews as a dynasty trade target because I like to target running backs in crowded backfields before free agency and the NFL Draft. Sure enough, the Eagles ending up trading DeMarco Murray, freeing up a lot of opportunity for Mathews….

I’ll just say it: It’s too soon to write off Robert Griffin III. He could be the answer for the Cleveland Browns, and he’s a dynasty trade target. First, a brief reminder on how good he used to be. He was the second best fantasy QB prospect of the last five years. As a rookie, he threw for 3,200 yards, 20 touchdowns, and only five interceptions…...
