After ~20 consecutive seasons of playing dynasty, I find myself in the strange position of not managing a team. I'd been shedding leagues for years and my final league folded after a 15 year run this past season. At present time I no longer have any vested interest in any players. I'm also...

I don't know if I'm going to expend the effort to make comprehensive rankings this year, as I'm only in one dynasty league now and don't have personal incentive to scrutinize every prospect, but I wanted to aggregate some of my thoughts on this rookie class in one location. I didn't watch any...

A few notes before I get into this list: - I watched at least two games (condensed into all-snap highlights) for all of the first round QBs, but QB is the hardest position to evaluate and the one that requires the most time commitment, so I feel like I still don't have a great handle on those...

NOTES: - These are intended as rankings for generic PPR leagues where QB/TE are relatively devalued. If those positions are stressed in your league, these rankings don't necessarily apply. - I spent very little time evaluating QBs this year. QB is the position that takes the most time to...

NOTES: - I didn't scout the QBs at all, so what you see here for them is just based on draft position and reputation. - These rankings assume a generic PPR format where RB/WR are the key positions. In formats that emphasize QB and/or TE, those players might jump up a tier or two. - Looking...

Figured I'd start a thread for my favorite of this year's day three RBs. Small school guy who went in the late 4th round to AZ despite having an injury-plagued senior season on a weak team. Not a phenomenal athlete on paper at 5'9" 205 with 4.55 speed, but has a 10'2" broad jump and shows some...

FIRST TIER 1. RB Saquon Barkley, Giants - Not much needs to be said about this one. Barkley would be a strong 1.01 rookie pick in almost any draft. Elite athletic traits combined with versatility and a competitive nature. Anything can happen with injuries and off-field stuff, but it's hard to...

If you play in deep mandatory 2RB leagues, you know how hard it can be to find useful RBs. People reach for them in the rookie draft every year and it's very hard to acquire one without spending an early draft pick. As such, every year I am on the lookout for talented players who can be had for...

Here's my list for this year. List assumes generic PPR league requirements that stress the RB and WR positions. I like this class overall. There are good players available throughout. I think the top 5 is strong. I like all of those guys quite a bit and can see a case for almost any of them at...

Curious as to who you'd grab in a PPR league. I have one slot and can take my pick. 

It's usually pretty hard to find a good RB in most FF leagues, but every year seems to see 1-2 guys like Dion Lewis, CJ Anderson, and Spencer Ware emerge from the scrap heap to become valuable FF commodities. With that in mind, I thought I'd make a thread for the RB I am stashing everywhere...

All of my drafts are over and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on this group of players. Overall, this is probably the weakest rookie crop that I can remember. I think a top 4 pick guarantees you a relatively strong prospect, but everything after that is a crapshoot. Here is how I see...

I've done a few rookie drafts already and one of the things I've noticed is that almost every holder of the 1.01 rookie pick has adopted a firm "I'm not selling this pick unless you offer the world" attitude. I have the 1.01 in two leagues and I feel the same way. Elliott seems like a very...

The Niners took this guy in the late 4th round even though he tore his ACL late last season and couldn't work out at the combine. He was a converted baseball player at Georgia Tech who had some success towards the end of his college career, catching 35 passes for 715 yards (20.4 YPR) as a senior...

I've done three rookie drafts so far. All three were dev leagues with depleted talent pools (guys like Gurley, Cooper, and Gordon were picked in college). I had a pick between 8-10 in every draft and Dorsett fell to my pick every time. I haven't seen rookie ADP data yet, but it looks like he's...

There's no thread for Abdullah yet, so I thought I'd fire up the bus. I think he's an interesting prospect and potentially one of the more underrated talents in this FF class. Amazing college career. Good versatility. Not much of a size/speed specimen. May only run a 4.5. Outstanding quicks...

Lots of college prospects have a thread dedicated to them, so I thought we might as well get one started for Nick Chubb. Here's the tale of the tape: - 5'10 228 pounds - 4-5 star recruit in 2014 - Georgia 4A state shotput champ in 2014 (55'8"). Also made the finals in the 100m (10.69s) and...

Liked this kid a lot at Buffalo. Very shifty and deceptively strong. Ran for about a billion yards in his career. He was ignored by the major pre-draft all-star games, did not receive a combine invite, and went undrafted. His pro day workout was pretty ho-hum. My expectations were low for him...

I'm always on the lookout for cheap, high-upside flyers and this guy seems to fit the bill. For all the talk about Coleman, Crowell, and Lyerla, this might be my favorite UDFA in this draft class. Very interesting project to take a no-risk flyer on. He played his college ball at Troy and broke...

...is that for all the time and energy people spend on analysis, a lot of what determines a team's success is how well they exploit the bad owners in the league. I get loads of brainless lopsided offers in my leagues during the busy FF seasons. As annoying as they can be, I don't hold it against...
