Speculation is one of the toughest aspects of fantasy football, especially in the dynasty community. If you’ve been around fantasy football long enough, you’ve likely come across different people touting their model for identifying prospects or how what shows up on film is more important than what shows up on paper. It gets even tougher to accurately project a player when he hasn’t played a…...

The original version of this article published on January 23. We now have physical and athletic measurements from the combine. Was Colby Parkinson’s combine performance enough to move him up draft boards? Since 2010 there have been seven tight ends out of Stanford drafting by NFL teams. This includes players like Coby Fleener, Zach Ertz and Austin Hooper. 2020 should see this number rise to…...
We are at the point of the offseason where rookie fever is reaching its peak. The combine is behind us, and the NFL Draft is fast approaching. The urge to either sell or acquire rookie picks is strong. However, I am here to suggest an alternative route, especially if your team is contending.

Shawn Siegele uses the NFL Combine Explorer to locate and discuss the top athletic comps for the elite wide receiver prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Combine Explorer from Dave Caban is another of my favorite tools. It records all of the measurements from the combine and helps us place them within historical context at each position.

Welcome to the 61st installment of The Wrong Read. Shawn Siegele’s recent article on 2020 Freak Scores linked to some classic work by Fantasy Douche that renewed my interest in wide receiver hand size. We know, on the one hand, that production is all that matters for WRs. But on the other hand, that last sentence can’t possibly be literally true. So the question is,…...

People keep telling me that this is a deep wide receiver class. People keep telling me to watch the movie Elf too. Yep, people tell me a lot of things. But for now, I am inclined to listen to the people telling me about the WRs. While this class doesn’t seem to have a Julio Jones or an Amari Cooper, there does seem to be…...

While it is more than likely Taylor will be playing on Sundays next season, we will get one more opportunity to watch him play in a Badgers uniform. Wisconsin plays Oregon…...
Denzel Mims turned in a fantastic performance at the 2020 NFL combine. Besides displaying better than 50th percentile agility and explosion that eclipsed the 75th percentile, Mims ran the forty-yard dash at a 93rd percentile time of 4.38 seconds. The former Baylor Bear stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 207 pounds. This translates to a freak score of 73, well above the 75th percentile.((Freak…...
We are amid a resurgence at the tight end position. Yes, the position is still top-heavy thanks to perennial studs Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz. However, savvy fantasy owners are starting to identify value and potential earlier in the process and later in rounds. Those of you who took a chance on Mark Andrews or Darren Waller last season, as an example, were richly rewarded…....
C.J. Spiller ran the forty-yard dash in 4.27 seconds at the 2010 NFL combine. This is one of the fastest times ever recorded. Spiller weighed 196 pounds when he achieved this feat. Fast forward to the 2020 combine, in which Jonathan Taylor ran the forty in 4.39 seconds, and one may ask which time is better. Although not as fast as Spiller’s, Taylor’s time might…...
Freak Score is our scaled metric that uses height, weight, and speed to project the TD-scoring potential for NFL prospects. Unlike many other measures for an NFL prospect’s size/athleticism profile, the Freak Score gives us a measure that directly relates to an important element of fantasy scoring. If you aren’t adjusting for the importance of height, then you’re missing the critical element. The Freak Score also…...
To say that some were blindsided by D.J. Chark’s sophomore breakout would be a bit of an understatement.

However, those dynasty owners who trusted the process and were patient were…...
