2020 All-Dark Horse Devy Team
Here, I take a look at a few under the radar names who don’t seem to get enough love in the devy community. These players are typically drafted low in devy drafts, if at all. Some of this is due to lack of national attention and some is due to a poor situation, but the talent is evident. My goal is to try and find an underdog amongst the group. Treat this as a “Watch List” of sorts, and we just might find ourselves a hidden early-round NFL talent.
Draft Week: Ryan’s RB Rankings, Tiers, and “My Guys”
Quarterback rankings already went up, right here; all 30-plus names, broken out by tiers and priority targets (read: "my guys"). Moving on, now to the running backs. Here, we've got 90 players (I think), and I've split them out into three groups: The top 1 thru 30,...
Draft Week: Ryan’s QB Rankings, Tiers, and “My Guys”
The time has finally arrived, my friends. Nobody is sure what kind of season there is in store for us, given the COVID-19 pandemic and variables it's presented, but the fact of the matter is the NFL is pushing forward and there will be televisied professional football...
Redrafting: Landing WR Value Post-RB-RB Opener
After years of RB Zero holding serious weight in fantasy football circles, we have now gone full circle. The last few seasons saw as many as six wide receivers go in the first round of fantasy drafts. This year’s first round has only one sure-fire lock: New Orleans target hog Michael Thomas. Packers WR Davante Adams usually goes around the turn and, occasionally, a Tyreek Hill shows up.
Redrafting: “Pros vs. Joes” Draft Recap
Pros vs. Joes is an annual competition put together by the FFPC and Darren Armani of FantasyMojo.com. The format matches fantasy football industry professionals such as Sigmund Bloom of Football Guys, Evan Silva of Establish The Run, John Paulsen of 4 for 4, Rich Hribar of Sharp Football, The Podfather, Matt Kelley, of Player Profiler, and many more analysts that are very well known. The Joes participating are often some of the best high stakes players around.
The Pros vs. Joes format for this season is Slim Best Ball — 18-man rosters, no kickers, and no defenses. FFPC rules and starting positions are used as well. Each team has 1QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, and 2 flexes. PPR scoring is used with TE premium, meaning a tight end reception is worth 1.5 points. Each division winner gets an entry to the 2021 FFPC Main Event (a $1,900 value) and bragging rights. Second place in this tournament means nothing. This competition is all about one winner.
This year I had the pleasure of participating as one of the Joes. My league featured sharp industry minds such as Curtis Patrick of Rotoviz, Ryan McDowell of DLF, Jake Ciely of The Athletic and Eliot Crist of FTN. If that wasn’t difficult enough, my Joe league mates were beyond loaded with some very successful and well-known high stakes players: Chris Birchby, Matthew Lively, David Hubbard, and Jason Aberli. These guys have easily cleared high-six figures in combined fantasy football winnings.
FantasyMojo released their odds for my league and I was in the bottom three, at 15-1. The odds were definitely motivating. I knew my preparation needed to be well thought out to beat these odds and give myself a shot at winning.

Devy Diamonds: RB TreVeyon Henderson
RB TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio StateTreVeyon Henderson is someone I do not expect you to know just yet, but he is someone you need to remember. Let me rephrase that: he is someone you will remember - once you see him play. Henderson is the closest thing to a "sure-shot"...
