How Much Does Jimmy Graham Help the Seattle Seahawks?

  Let’s try to quantify how – and where – Jimmy Graham improves the Seattle offense. Jimmy Graham in decline? There are some obvious concerns with Graham. Entering his age 29 season, he posted career lows in yards/game, yards/reception, and yards/target last year. On the other hand, his target percentage, touchdown rate, TDs/game, and catch rate remained solid. Here’s Graham compared to the other top five…...

All the Reasons You Need to Pick Up Tyler Gaffney Right Now

Consider this a Public Service Announcement to add running back Tyler Gaffney in all dynasty leagues. Given Gaffney’s All Pro Comparables it’s no surprise that he was one of James Todd’s Speculative Dynasty Stashes last October; since then everything has broken right for the former Stanford Cardinal. With Shane Vereen now on the Giants and Stevan Ridley currently unemployed, there’s a ton of opportunity up for grabs in the Patriots…...

Irrational Exuberance and is Cody Latimer a Bust?

I’m sure that before clicking on this article some people were saying, “it’s too soon to say if Cody Latimer’s a bust.” To some extent, that’s true. We’re not soothsayers, clairvoyants, prophets, or anything else of that ilk. We won’t know if he’s a bust until his career is over. But in a very real sense he has also already been a bust, returning no value to…...

Identifying Undervalued Running Backs with Usage Visualization

I recently wrote a post on Justin Forsett, Matt Forte, and “The Trestman Effect” where I looked at usage (snap percentage) versus PPR points. The correlation league-wide was even stronger than I expected, with the vast majority of running backs scoring within +/- 50 points of the regression line. Usage is particularly important in PPR leagues because flukier types of scoring like touchdowns are de-emphasized, and reception points…...

The Rundown: Joique Bell, Vince Wilfork, Reggie Bush, and Cordarelle Patterson

Joique Bell, RB, Detroit Justin Winn has been conducting the anti-Joique Bell train this offseason. He’s most definitely on to something. When the team’s official website suggests the Lions will draft a running back, that’s not a great sign. I’m not dumping Bell in dynasty just yet. Bell is a capable fantasy back, and there’s a lot of time between now and the start of…...

Tight Ends Fantasy Updates: Josh Hill, Travis Kelce, and More

Some tight end fantasy updates on Josh Hill, Travis Kelce, Charles Clay, and the Falcons’ TEs. Josh Hill, TE, New Orleans So Jimmy Graham is a Seahawk. That means Hill sits atop the TE depth chart in New Orleans. Yes, it looks like the Saints might be going more run heavy, and yes, they could draft Maxx Williams. But rookie TEs seldom post big numbers. And with Kenny Stills gone…...

Justin Forsett, Matt Forte And The Trestman Effect

For most of the early offseason I’ve been happy to draft Justin Forsett in the 4th round of early MFL10s under the assumption that if he re-signed with the Ravens he’s have top-5 potential in Marc Trestman’s offense. Now that he has, let’s take a deeper look at his potential and how “The Trestman Effect” benefited Matt Forte. Anyone lucky enough to have drafted Forte the…...

10 Post-Free Agency Running Backs to Avoid in My Fantasy League MFL10s

Earlier in the year I wrote a list of six running backs to avoid in early MFL10s. It’s been less than two months but a lot has changed with the opening of free agency, so it’s time for a new list. Just like last time, this list is based around my four rules for drafting RBs in best ball leagues.((One note: I will occasionally draft a…...
