2016 dynasty superflex rookie draft how to#

I accidentally lumped the three Rams rookie pass-catchers together, but then it ended up making sense. Hunt could fall backward into a top-20 RB finish as a rookie if things break right in Kansas City. Kareem Hunt feels a little over-rated to me at this juncture, but Andy Reid has a long history of creating stellar fantasy backs and Spencer Ware battled injuries last year. I'm not in love with Alvin Kamara as a featured back, but New Orleans was the perfect fit and he should be the starter in Week 1 of 2018. Howard could get a stranglehold on the tight end targets as soon as next year, and Jameis Winston has a history of turning tight ends into stars dating back to his college days. While Cameron Brate lurks in 2017 to vulture targets, he's a former UDFA in whom the team has minimal financial investment for the future. Howard's overall talent and polish tip the scales for me to put him No.

The tight ends are all close as well, but O.J. His pass-catching is what keeps him a peg below the other two backs for me. Yeldon on the sidelines on third downs too, his value in fantasy will soar even higher. At this point, I think most know who Leonard Fournette is for fantasy purposes - a two-down hammer with tons of touchdown upside. I see McCaffrey with a safe floor and high ceiling - especially in PPR. Mixon probably has the higher theoretical ceiling but carries slightly more risk given his past transgressions and the currently crowded Cincinnati backfield. Notes: Christian McCaffrey and Joe Mixon are pretty much interchangeable for me.

For a more in-depth look at what the dynasty format entails and how to get started with a league, check out this primer from the great minds over at Dynasty League Football. The reason for the growth in popularity of dynasty leagues is simple: they're really, really fun. Basically, you're the real general manager of your fantasy team, and more in-depth leagues will even feature fictional salary caps contracts. Rosters/benches are much larger to allow for needed depth, and it requires a different sort of strategy with more foresight and long-term thinking than regular seasonal leagues. For the uninformed, dynasty leagues are where you keep all (or most) of your players every year with a rookie draft to add new talent each spring.

Personally, I came late to the dynasty party, not starting in the format until a few years ago, but it has quickly become one of my favorite ways to play. What started as a niche style of play for degenerates and truly nerdy die-hards has now become a more acceptable mainstream format. It warms my heart every year to watch the popularity of dynasty fantasy football leagues grow.
