Fantasy Impact: Jerick McKinnon Jerick McKinnon will finally be given the opportunity he has been waiting for. McKinnon signed on with the San Francisco 49ers for 4 years and 30 million dollars, with an average annual salary of 7.5 million. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, McKinnon will be the lead back, and Shanahan expects him to be used in the Devonta Freeman role when Shanahan was the Atlanta [...]
Fantasy Impact: Carlos Hyde The former San Francisco 49er, will now be part of the new and improved Cleveland Browns. The Browns and Hyde have agreed on a 3 year, 15 million dollar contract. This past season was Hyde’s fourth season in the league, but the first season in which he played in all 16 games. The Kyle Shanahan offense didn’t seem to fit Hyde well. That could be a [...]
Fantasy Impact: Allen Robinson I would’ve liked to see Robinson end up with the San Francisco 49ers instead of the Chicago Bears. Don’t get me wrong, the Bears needed a wide receiver and gave him a very handsome contract. However, this wasn’t the best move for Robinson, from both a fantasy and reality point of view. Mitchell Trubisky should be a good quarterback someday, but I would’ve preferred he [...]
The saga is finally over...The Kirk Cousins sweepstakes has a winner, and without any surprise from me, the 30 year old quarterback has decided on the Minnesota Vikings. I believed this was the best fit from the start, right from the minute the Eagles ended the Vikings season. Was there still a possibility that Cousins could end up getting franchise (transition) tagged again? Sure, but that thought quickly came [...]
Our mock drafts, just like everyone else’s, is for entertainment purposes only. Our mock drafts are based on a number of factors. We keep in mind the team’s needs, best player available, offensive/defensive scheme, previous draft history of the organization/GM and we sprinkle in a our own opinion about which player we would take in that spot. Keep in mind of course, nobody really knows what a team is thinking [...]
Breaking down and making predictions for the top free agent running backs and wide receivers!
Well, that escalated quickly. The Cleveland Browns decided to start the NFL league year a couple of days early by making a lot of noise on Friday night. First, the Browns made a trade with the Miami Dolphins to acquire Jarvis Landry. My brain was already getting to work about getting a Jarvis Landry Fantasy Impact article up, but then I decided to hold off until we actually knew who [...]
The official NFL league year is set to begin on March 14th, and we are currently looking at what could be an unprecedented off season. Not only do a number of teams need a quarterback...or at least a new quarterback, but this free agent class not only consists of guys that can certainly start for a NFL teams, but it also consists of a 30 year old in his prime [...]
Your fantasy football draft may be the most exciting and highly anticipated part of the fantasy football season, but it isn't the most important. Of course a good draft is an integral part to your overall success, but your in-season management is what wins championships. Working the waiver wire is a key element in that management. Players get hurt, and players emerge throughout the season. Players that can help you [...]
The 2017-2018 NFL season hasn't even ended yet, but we're ready to take an early look at some potential breakout players for the 2018 fantasy season. Too soon?....Nah. (Yahoo Sports) Probably not a surprise to see Jimmy Garoppolo on this list. Garoppolo wasn't spectacular from when he took over the starting duties for the 49ers in week 13, but he did finish as a top 10 fantasy [...]
