IDP Positional Rankings for 2021 (Pre-Training Camp)
NFL Free Agency and the Draft are both done, and teams are finishing up OTAs now. That means we are entering the dull part of summer where there’s not much going on in the world of football, which gives all of us a lot of dead air we need to fill with arguments and conjecture.... Read More
Most Improved Offenses After the NFL Draft
Each year, NFL teams enter the draft with hopes that they can bolster their squad into a powerhouse. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. Nevertheless, there are certainly teams that improved their offenses through this past draft, adding a solid skill position player or even their potential QB of the future. Though a lot of...

Rookie Tight Ends in Best Fantasy Situations (Post-Draft)
Rookie tight ends have it tough as it is, so the only way they are going to post decent numbers that will help fantasy football managers is by being in great situations.

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Michael Carter
The Jets were one of a number of teams pegged to take a day two running back that either waited until day three or did not take one altogether. With their first pick in the fourth round, the Jets selected North Carolina running back Michael Carter. When evaluating prospects' likelihood of NFL success, we care about... Read More
NFL Rookie Spotlight - Jaylen Waddle
As a wide receiver drafted out of the University of Alabama, Jaylen Waddle is looking to carry on quite a tradition. Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Amari Cooper, and Henry Ruggs III are all former Tide receivers to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft over the past decade. What is... Read More
Three's A Crowd? Examining Cincinnati's WR Room
The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the most talented receiving cores in the NFL. Tee Higgins had an excellent rookie year, looking like a potential alpha WR1. Tyler Boyd continues to be one of the more dependable slot receivers in the league. This was already a strong duo, but the Bengals made it elite with their choice in this... Read More
UDFA Running Backs To Watch In Dynasty
One of the biggest names in the fantasy game last year was Jaguars running back James Robinson, who went from UDFA to fantasy stud out of nowhere. Or at least it was out of nowhere if you didn't read last year's version of my UDFA to watch piece, where I mentioned Robinson. (Note: I also... Read More
NFL Rookie Spotlight - Tylan Wallace
The Baltimore Ravens selected Tylan Wallace in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft. Wallace became the sixth wide receiver drafted by the Ravens in the past three years. Only sixth-round pick James Proche has lower draft capital than Wallace. He was also drafted behind first-rounder Rashod Bateman which complicates his path to targets on... Read More
UDFA Pass Catchers To Watch In Dynasty
One place where fantasy value can be found is in the large crop of players who sign as undrafted free agents. Just because a receiver wasn't taken in the first seven rounds doesn't mean that they aren't good players. Often, very talented players don't hear their names called during the draft, but they'll latch on... Read More
NFL Rookie Spotlight - Trey Sermon
The San Francisco 49ers made Trey Sermon the fourth running back off the board in the 2021 NFL draft. Although this is a very weak running back class, that is still relatively high by comparison. Sermon walks into a crowded backfield, but one without a true alpha. When evaluating prospects' likelihood of NFL success, we... Read More

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Chuba Hubbard
In what turned out to be a very poor decision, surefire Day Two NFL Draft pick Chuba Hubbard returned to college for his senior season and torpedoed his draft stock with a truly dismal season. Hubbard fell into the fourth round where he was drafted by the Carolina Panthers. When evaluating prospects' likelihood of NFL success, we... Read More

Dynasty Value of the 2021 Rookie Quarterbacks
Not in recent memory have we seen a team bluff and fake-out the media and general public like the San Francisco 49ers just did when they convinced most that they prized the plus-sized Winklevoss cousin known as Mac Jones at pick #3. They didn't take Jones, though, and they blew up many mock drafts in... Read More
Who is the Dynasty 1.01 Now???
Now that we know where all of the players from this year's draft have landed, it's time to get to doing some dynasty rookie drafts. A lot of years, there's a clear person to pick with that No. 1 rookie pick. Remember how Saquon Barkley was the unanimous 1.01 a few years back? It's less... Read More

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Trey Lance
When the San Francisco 49ers moved up from 12 to three in the 2021 NFL Draft, we were all told it was for Mac Jones. Some believed this façade and others not so much. Whether you did or did not, it was Trey Lance who ended up going to the cozy confines of a Kyle... Read More

Waste of Talent: Rookies in Bad Landing Spots
