Dynasty Nerds - Dynasty Fantasy Football (Rankings - Strategy - Cheat Sheets) Fork in the Road: Assessing Players with Small Sample Sizes. Editor’s Note: This article is a Dynasty Scouts exclusive. Remember, our new Dynasty Scouts section focuses on the stars of tomorrow, with a laser focus on High School recruits and College players who look to have the talent to be future assets in dynasty leagues and have value today in devy leagues. As I’ve mentioned before, and will continue believe as long as I’m involved with fantasy football, there’s inherent risk in every move you make and every player you acquire. Some players have more than others, but as one of my friends always says “every player is just an ACL away.”
While this is clearly stated in a facetious tone, there’s a harsh truth to it. This brings me to my next point. If you see talent, even just a few plays, allow yourself to get excited and take notice. Brendon Bigelow in 2012: Carries: 44 Yards: 431 Yards Per Carry: 9.8 Receptions: 7 Yards: 92 Total Touchdowns: 4 Melvin Gordon in 2012: An off-season passed and much hype was spread about both by me… :05 mark :50 mark. IDP Manor. Player Rankings: Quarterbacks - PRESEASON. Amari Cooper, Nelson Agholor among top WRs to watch in 2014. The wide-open nature of the college game has helped wide receivers become the marquee playmakers on offense. Innovative coaches are using more spread formations to turn football into basketball on grass, which allows explosive receivers to take advantage of one-on-one matchups in space. With NFL play callers prone to stealing ideas from the collegiate ranks, more teams are placing a greater emphasis on adding receivers with the speed, quickness and explosiveness to turn short passes into big gains.
As a result, we are seeing more pass-catchers come off the board in the early rounds, including five receivers selected on Day 1 of the 2014 NFL Draft. After surveying the collegiate landscape for the top players at the position, here's the group of wide receivers to watch in the fall: 1. The junior standout is the prototypical No. 1 receiver that NFL coaches and scouts covet as the anchor of a passing game. 2. 3. Whoa! 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Like father, like son? 9. 10. The numbers never lie. The 2014 UDFA Class of the NFL: Mining for Gems | Dynasty Football Warehouse.
The 2014 UDFA Class of the NFL: Mining For Gems By Brad Duffendack In the early years of the National Football League the NFL Draft was simply called the ‘Annual Player Selection Meeting’ and consisted of twenty rounds. But even with the twenty round process there were still notable players that went undrafted. As the NFL has continued to grow exponentially throughout the years so has each teams’ scouting department. Below is a short list of players you may recognize at the offensive skill positions who have gone unselected in the more modern era of the NFL Draft: Quarterbacks: Warren Moon, Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, Jeff Garcia, Jake DelhommeRunning Backs: Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, Ryan Grant, Willie ParkerWide Receiver: Rod Smith, Drew Pearson, Wes Welker, Victor Cruz, Wayne ChrebetTight End: Antonio GatesKicker: Adam Vinatieri Those undrafted players were able to beat the odds and make their team’s roster.
In this year’s draft there were 256 players selected. Arizona Cardinals A.C. Fantasy rookie report. The conclusion of the NFL draft has an interesting habit of generating hype for the pretenders while eliciting little, if any, buzz for the top-of-the-pecking-order franchises that find a way into the postseason each and every year. The St. Louis Rams have garnered rave reviews for their haul of rookie talent, but the team still plays in the ultra-lethal NFC West with an inconsistent quarterback who has yet to take the next step in his development. On the flip side, little has been made of the selections turned in by perennial contenders like the New England Patriots, who will no doubt be taking the field come mid-January.
As it relates to fantasy football, we don’t have to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to separate the contenders from the pretenders. Instead, all we’re looking to accomplish is the identification of which players will produce the biggest numbers at the best value. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. 2. 3.
2014 Post-Draft Top 30 Fantasy Football Rookie IDP Rankings for Dynasty Leagues. Share by Email Yesterday, I ranked out my post-Draft top 50 rookies on the offensive side of the ball. Now let’s take a look at the IDPs. Perhaps even more than the offensive players, IDP value is heavily contingent on landing spot. Some players are poised to step right into the starting lineup, where other potentially more talented players may be relegated to a backup role early in their career. The following rankings take both long- and short-term value into account. Keep in mind that I advocate avoiding defensive backs in rookie drafts as there’s typically far too much season-to-season variance at the position.

Silva: Dynasty Rookie Rankings - Dynasty Rankings.
Quarterbacks Sheer upside is what I foremost seek in a Dynasty rookie quarterback, because opportunity is limited. There are only 32 starters in the league, and teams don't use more than one at once. (That isn't the case for running backs, receivers, and to a lesser extent tight ends.) This is also fantasy's most replaceable week-to-week position. I either want someone who gives me a high-scoring ceiling every week, or I'm playing game-by-game matchups. In-place "weapons" are factored in to some extent, though truly good quarterbacks tend to elevate players around them. 1. Manziel is teaming with former Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan, who coached Robert Griffin III to a top-five fantasy season as a rookie. 2.
Bortles looked like Andrew Luck on college tape at times. 3. Although Bridgewater is a limited talent with a smallish frame and hands, his composure in the pocket and short to intermediate accuracy give him a chance to become an early-career starter for the QB-desperate Vikings. 4. 5.

If there's one constant for players not picked in the top five of the draft, it's their inevitable sound bite about how they'll make teams that passed on them regret it in the NFL. While it will take awhile before we find out about how good the 2014 draft class will turn out, here are 10 players who teams might regret passing on in the draft down the road (in alphabetical order): Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin Drafted: Packers, 176th overall (5th round) Analysis: Just ask Big Ten fans how happy they are to see Abbrederis in the NFL and not back at Wisconsin.
A former walk-on, he's put in the hard work to reach this point and is one of the more polished pass catchers in the draft. He's quicker than his 4.5 40-yard dash suggests and has terrific hands. He knows how to run routes with the best of them and can easily slide in as a go-to option for Aaron Rodgers. Chris Borland, LB, Wisconsin Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama.

The collection of prospects who will be available in the 2014 NFL Draft is widely considered one of the most talented in recent memory. Of course, for the sake of perspective, similar things were said about the 2011 and 2012 classes, which yielded Cam Newton, Von Miller, A.J.
Green, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Aldon Smith, J.J. Watt, Robert Quinn, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Luke Kuechly, Dontari Poe, Russell Wilson, Alshon Jeffery and a whole bunch more difference-makers. While the 2014 class is unlikely to surpass the aforementioned groups in terms of instant production, it certainly includes a number of impact players. This prospect pool is particularly deep at wide receiver, a position that could produce as many as seven first-round picks. The class also features a number of gifted offensive tackles capable of competing for Pro Bowl recognition early in their respective careers. Elite prospects Blue chips Red chips. 32 Teams, 64 Dynasty Targets - Goal Line Stand. With free agency over for the most part and a little time to pass before next month's draft, it feels like a prime time to dive into some fantasy football talk.
Face it, that's what we're all here for in the first place, right? By playing dynasty, it gives us the opportunity to manage a fantasy team year-round and keeps us in the loop around the clock. Below are 64 players, two from each of the 32 teams, whom I've pinpointed as guys to target in your respective leagues. There's a nice mix of high-end youngsters who will cost a pretty penny and third- or fourth-year talents who may now just be getting opportunities to earn more snaps or may soon be finding their way to (possibly) greener pastures.

Arizona Cardinals -- Running back Ryan Williams: Obviously Andre Ellington and Michael Floyd are more desirable dynasty targets, but let's try and not point out the blatantly obvious.
Fantasy Football Today. Fantasy Football Librarian: 2013 Fantasy Football Accuracy Results Are In!

Most Accurate Rankings Across All Positions: Dynasty Deep Dive - Marlon Brown, WR | Dynasty Football Warehouse. Written by Matt Southall The Baltimore Ravens entered the 2013 season as the defending Super Bowl Champions, but the team lost many key players from both sides of the ball during last off season. Anquan Boldin left to sign with the 49ers, Jacoby Jones was expected to follow in the footsteps Boldin left behind, and a slew of defensive players left for other teams who were willing to fork over the extra cash.
Jones went down in the season opener against the Denver Broncos, and rookie WR Marlon Brown was thrust into the spotlight right out of the gate. Brown stands 6’5” tall and weighs 205 lbs. He went undrafted out of Georgia and signed a three-year contract with the Ravens last off season. Brown scored three TDs in the team’s first four games and quickly became QB Joe Flacco’s favorite red zone target. Ravens WR1 Torrey Smith carried the load for the team in the first four games (and for the majority of the season), catching 21 passes for 435 yards and one TD during that span. 2013 Offensive Line Rankings | ProFootballFocus.com - Part 4.
Share by Email Awards week is still ongoing and so what better time than to announce our 2013 Offensive Line Rankings. That’s right those big guys up front who don’t post positive stats with their reputation often a product of where they play or where they were drafted are now getting the attention they deserve. For some that’s good and for that is most definitely bad. One thing not in question though is that each player was judged by the same standards as his peers from our tireless tape watchers to give the most comprehensive list out there. Numbers in bracket indicate last year’s rank while “PB” equals their pass blocking rank, “RB” their run and screen blocking rank & “PEN” their procedural or disciplinary penalty rank. Updated: 20/03/2014 A mea culpa here. 32. Stud: Our 18th-ranked center on the year Lyle Sendlein (+0.5). Dud: There was some serious competition here but Bradley Sowell (-38.4) takes the cake. 31. PB: 23rd, RB: 32nd, PEN: 29th Stud: Hmm. 30. 29. 28. 27. 26. 25.
The IDP Guru. Dynasty Philosophy 101. Fantasy Football Evil Empire. Real and Fantasy: Individual Defensive Player (IDP) Targets in 10 - 14 Team Dynasties. Individual defensive players account for 40 to 60 percent of a starting lineup in leagues that include these players. This part of a team is often neglected because, when looking for talent that could emerge, people want to roster that eighth running back or that tenth wide receiver (who will most likely never be part of their starting line up).
When I started playing in IDP leagues, I did the same thing, but when I saw teams with far less quality offensive talent walk away with the big prize, I made changes to my philosophy of building a roster. This article concentrates on players who should be available to pick up in smaller leagues and can help improve a fantasy defense next season and beyond. NFL teams use free agency to fill holes in the lineup to better prepare themselves for their rookie draft and fantasy owners can do the same.
Let's start with defensive tackles. The free agency season saw a lot of movement with defensive ends. NFL Draft: Norris' Top 100 - Rankings. Quarterbacks are not just thrown in among other positions; there is a thought process behind their slotting. If I firmly believe a quarterback is a quality starter, they transcend the board and jump to the top. The next tier, which includes prospects I think have a good chance of becoming quality starters, follows first-round talents.
