Quality front offices win championships. That is absolute. Without a world-beating roster, even the best coaches will struggle (Kyle Shanahan). With a talent-laden squad, inept coaches can find ways to scheme together losses (Mike McCarthy). Poor GMs (Dave Gettleman) are the most impactful, however, as their blunders can linger for years. The best way to ensure your team has the greatest chance of making it to the second season is to have the right man holding the keys to the car. The Indianapolis Colts find themselves in…

It’s a rare situation for an NFL team to have a problem that doesn’t involve talent scarcity. On a 53-man roster, the onus is on GM’s leaguewide to balance the cap between a number of hugely important spots to give their teams an edge over the field. After building that top line talent, depth is the main concern as injuries should be an expectation for any proactive front office. This considered, have the San Francisco 49ers overcompensated for the necessary depth at their RB spot? With the newly minted signing of Tevin…

In the event you reside underneath a rock and haven’t left in some time, I’m here to tell you to sound the alarm bells. Le’Veon Bell has landed. The move to the big apple was an expected one and from a fantasy perspective, one that will have ripple effects across the league. Last we saw Le’Veon in 2017, he was tearing up opposing defenses to the tune of 1268 yards on the ground, 616 yards through the air, and nine combined TDs. While he only averaged 5.6 yards per touch (21st NFL), he was far and away the leagues most used…

The largest edge a dynasty manager can gain is in detecting dynamic team situations and accurately predicting the effect these changing conditions will have on the skill positions used for fantasy. This single skill is perhaps the most useful one in dynasty because of the simple fact that acquiring talent at a discount pays exponential dividends for your dynasty teams. One has to look no further for examples than Tyler Boyd’s breakout this past season and Amari Cooper’s change in usage (Moving from OAK to DAL) in 2018. Dede…

Wait. WHAT?! WHAT in the F&$! just happened?! Has Gettleman lost his mind?! Just days after making a rather dubious decision to let Landon Collins walk in favor of paying an ineffective Eli Manning $17M (and also to waste the primes of OBJ and Saquon’s career), the Giants have decided to ship Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a 1st, 3rd, and safety Jabril Peppers. We’ll discuss all dynasty implications of such a huge move in the paragraphs ahead. The New Look Browns A.B. (Post Odell Beckham Jr.…

For years, the Cincinnati Bengals have been a team both highly promising and extremely depressing from a fan's perspective. Though they’ve hit a bit of a rough patch over the last three years, finishing outside of the playoffs looking in, they haven’t been a bottom dweller. Under former HC Marvin Lewis, the Bengals made it to the playoffs for five straight seasons between 2011 and 2015 in a division with the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. While they were never quite able to do much with those playoff…

Looking for a value receiver with little name cache and boatloads of talent? His name is Quincy Enunwa, and he plays in green and white.The New York Jets are caught right in the middle of a major transition period any way you frame it. A new head coach, a sophomore QB, and the second most cap space in the league are just a few factors that illuminate this new reality in the Big Apple. Changes are coming… and where there’s change, in dynasty leagues, there’s hidden value.Can’t wait for next fantasy football…

Fresh off a Super Bowl appearance and stacked with a roster that looks poised to dominate for years to come, the Los Angeles Rams find themselves at a crossroads. Time waits for no man and this passage of time is going to result in bloated salaries for the boys in blue and gold. What does this mean for the future of this Rams team and more importantly for all dynasty fantasy football managers that heavily rely on Jared Goff & friends for championships? Let's dig in to find out.Can’t wait for next fantasy football…

Oftentimes, even in salary-capped leagues, there is an onus on the front office of contending teams to spend to compete. The NFL is no different. Unless your squad resides in New England, chances are competing at the highest level (i.e. a Superbowl berth) generally requires skirting awfully close to the hard cap line. Even if immediate financial hell is averted by shrewd management the bill becomes due eventually. A year removed from their first Super Bowl triumph, the Philadelphia Eagles must now deal with the…

The NFL, like any sport, is a business at its core. As such, the decisions that are generally made often serve financial interests more than those centered around loyalty to players and positive sentiment towards the staff. Oftentimes even the fans’ wishes are shunned in favor of the dollar sign.  In a salary capped league like the NFL, these decisions are often a way for dynasty analysts and those of us more removed from direct information from the teams to read the tea leaves and discover advantages hidden in situations in…
