NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Dallas Cowboys
The 2018 season for the Dallas Cowboys saw another trip to the postseason only to end in an embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Rams. But one thing that we did see was another step in the progression of Dak Prescott at QB. Finishing as QB11 on the season, Prescott looked all but lost before... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Cleveland Browns
The world may actually be coming to an end as the Cleveland Browns are the talk of the NFL and may be on the verge of Super Bowl contention. Baker Mayfield is being set up for success with an array of talent on offense to rival any team in the league. He will be running... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Chicago Bears
The first year under Matt Nagy led to a playoff berth for the Chicago Bears. The team rode a fantastic defense to wins while the progression of second-year QB Mitchell Trubisky didn't go as smoothly as hoped. His overall production was good but not great (3,223 yards and 27 total TDs). He continued to heavily... Read More
Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?
This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - New England Patriots
The 2018 season ended with yet another Super Bowl victory for the New England Patriots. On the way to that win, we saw a few more cracks in the armor than we are accustomed to. Tom Brady's key statistics all regressed last year. His passing yardage (4,355) and touchdowns (29) were both down. While his... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Kansas City Chiefs
What a difference a quarterback makes. Second-year QB Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs starter and immediately made this team into a force in fantasy football. The excitement that he brings to the game goes without saying. His season was one of the best in league history (5.097 yards and 52 total TDs). He was a... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Los Angeles Rams
Even though the Rams' season ended in a disappointing Super Bowl loss to the Patriots, this team enjoyed a fruitful 2019. The offense was one of the more explosive in the league, headed by Jared Goff and the passing attack. Goff continues to improve as a passer each year (4,688 yards and 34 total TDs)... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Los Angeles Chargers
Lost in all the hoopla of the season put together by the Kansas City Chiefs was yet another solid year from Philip Rivers and the Chargers. Although he finished just outside of QB1 range (QB13) by season's end, there were many weeks in which Rivers was a justifiable starter in fantasy. In fact, in nine... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Indianapolis Colts
Andrew Luck returned to the Colts lineup in 2018 and immediately increased the value of numerous players on this offense. The biggest contributors of his QB5 finish (4,593 yards and 39 TDs) were T.Y. Hilton and often ridiculed Eric Ebron. Hilton was back to his old ways as a weekly starter with consistent production while... Read More
Dynasty IDP Rookie Linebackers - Tier Two
In IDP fantasy football leagues, linebackers often make up the bulk of your roster and the majority of your production from the defensive side of your team.

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - New York Giants Outlook
If you look in the dictionary for the definition of a team with no direction you will find the New York Giants. Dating back to last year's draft where the team declined to find Eli Manning's successor in a loaded QB class, the Giants appear to be stuck in the mud. Sure, they hit it... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers Outlook
Another team at the top of this draft under new management is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and new HC Bruce Arians. He will be bringing with him a pedigree that ensures that this offense will be one to keep an eye on in 2019. The defense will potentially be suspect, especially in the tough NFC... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - New York Jets Outlook
A common theme that you will see with the teams at the top of this year's draft is starting over. That is exactly the case with the New York Jets. Gone is Todd Bowles, enter Adam Gase. Gone is Isaiah Crowell, enter Le'Veon Bell. The front office is hoping that these two moves help improve... Read More
Devin White vs. Devin Bush - Top Rookie IDP Linebackers

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Oakland Raiders Outlook
What a difference a year makes for the Oakland Raiders. This time last year, the team was back under the control of Jon Gruden and we were all left wondering what would be in store for them.

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - San Francisco 49ers Outlook
The 2018 San Francisco 49ers were a team that was haunted by the injury bug. Both major acquisitions (Jimmy Garoppolo and Jerick McKinnon) went down early to season-ending injuries, causing this team to dig deep into their depth chart for help. Even the players brought in to fill those roles found themselves missing time as... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Arizona Cardinals Outlook
There is a reason why the Cardinals hold the top pick heading into the draft. This team was terribly inept on both sides of the ball. Worst in points scored on offense (14.1 PPG) and 25th in points allowed on defense (26.6 PPG). The team looked devoid of talent for most of the season and... Read More
