The Titans Have Spent a Lot to Bolster Their Offense, But Is It Enough to Make Will Levis a Fantasy Force?
Mat Irby
April 1, 2024
The most significant contract handed out to a WR during this free agency period was a four-year, $92 million pact the Tennessee Titans made with Calvin Ridley. The deal comes with $50 million guaranteed, a $10 million cap hit in 2024, and a potential out in two years. Ridley is coming off his first complete season since 2020 after sitting out most of 2021 to…...
Dynasty Spotlight: Does Joe Burrow’s Excellence in These Key Metrics Give his Dynasty Value Teeth?
Mat Irby
March 28, 2024
Welcome to Dynasty Spotlight. The purpose of this series is to put one veteran dynasty commodity under the microscope to analyze how he is viewed on the market, how this compares to his abilities as a player based on predictive stats, and possibly make recommendations on whether we should be spending or selling in the current marketplace. The subject of this edition is Cincinnati Bengals’…...
Antonio Gibson Signs with the Patriots, Preserving Anxiety and Woe
Mat Irby
March 21, 2024
Last week, the New England Patriots signed RB Antonio Gibson to a three-year $11.25 million contract with a max value of $17.25 million. The Patriots could get out next year to save less than a million on the cap or in 2026, which would save $3.5 million before Gibson’s age-28 season. The Patriots added Gibson to an RB room with Rhamondre Stevenson, Kevin Harris, Ja’Mycal…...
A Sequoia Fell in the Woods: the Cratering Dynasty Value of Justin Fields, and Whether to Hold or Fold
Mat Irby
March 20, 2024
A sequoia fell in the woods on Saturday. Since the Bears drew the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, there has been no more dissected story than what they will do next. With incumbent Justin Fields, who just turned 25, playing some of his best football in the back half of 2023, some wondered if the Bears would use the pick to…...
Is it Panic Time for Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, and Jordan Addison? What a Sam Darnold Signing Really Signals
Mat Irby
March 19, 2024
Sam Darnold signed a one-year, $10 million deal last Wednesday to be the starting QB for the Minnesota Vikings. The agreement raises significant questions for the franchise, Darnold, and most importantly for Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, and Jordan Addison. Jefferson has spent the past two seasons as the No. 1 ranked WR in dynasty leagues and the No. 1 ranked overall player in single-QB formats…....
Mixon Pulls a Rope-a-Dope, Snatching a Steady Gig from the Jaws of Unemployment, So What Does That Mean for Fantasy?
Mat Irby
March 15, 2024
Joe Mixon is a polarizing player, and for good reason. On the one hand, his advanced metrics don’t point to a particularly great player. He has also struggled with pass protection and has had some precarious character-based red flags. Yet, he has been a starter in Cincinnati for years, maintained good physical health, played on some excellent teams, and produced decent counting stats. In an…...
Kings Wear Purple: How Derrick Henry Will Carry the Scepter in Baltimore
Mat Irby
March 13, 2024
Derrick Henry hits the market having led the 2023 free-agent RB class in PPR points, rushing attempts (ruATTS), rushing touchdowns (ruTDS), rushing expected points (ruEP), and rushing fantasy points over expectation (ruFPOE) last season. It took a while for the shock to wear off. It won’t be as strange as seeing Tom Brady switch to pewter and crimson, but picturing Henry in any other uniform…...
Can Kirk Cousins Change the Narrative for This Exciting Crop of Atlanta Skill Players?
Mat Irby
March 12, 2024
There are a lot of hurt feelings to go around at the end of the Arthur Smith tenure in Atlanta. The Falcons bucked convention by deprioritizing QB and emphasizing the run game; they took a TE at fourth overall, the highest in NFL history, and they took an RB eighth in an era where such a thing is, according to analysts from sophisticated places like Harvard…...
It’s a Savvy Shot for Pittsburgh, but Does Russell Wilson Have What It Takes to Bring George Pickens’ Career and the Steelers’ Offense to Life?
Mat Irby
March 12, 2024
It’s difficult to recall a player whose public perception has nosedived as precipitously as Russell Wilson’s has in the past two seasons. In November 2020, Wilson was considered the favorite for the NFL MVP award and one of the best QBs in the league. A nine-time Pro Bowler, a two-time participant and a one-time winner of the Super Bowl, at least as stated then, an…...
Always, Always, Always Do This One Simple Thing in Your Dynasty Leagues, but Also, Maybe Not Every Time
Mat Irby
February 21, 2024
In dynasty, each player has two values: a production value — how much that player earns for your lineup this game this season for this championship — and a market value: how much a player could yield in a transaction. Those values don’t always match. Market values weigh potential heavily, and in football, potential exists in the young. Hope exists in the unseen. Excitement looms…...

Now that an NFL champion has been crowned all eyes turn to free agency in March, and the draft in late April before NFL media outlets corporately begin the Great Summer Filibuster. The most focused scrutiny has already been steadily affixed to the Chicago Bears and what they might do this April. Despite finishing the season with a 7-10 record, they have the NFL’s top…...
