This only covers the pow
er 5 conferences in college fantasy football
For my 2019 College Fantasy football rankings go here.
Here are the top College Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings for 2019. When we get to WR’s in our draft, they are some of the most volatile positions in terms of getting consistent production from week to week. If you get the #1 target in a high scoring pass offense, or in some offences, even the #2 option is good, then you be getting great fantasy scores. These are only for the power 5 conference consideration. For season long and daily fantasy football articles, 
tools, podcasts, and expert help visit DFS Army Content for relentless strategies that the pros use every day.
If the player is Bolded, he is likely to be drafted as well in the top 2 rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft.
When getting on your horse of fantasy football player selections in your drafts to start, you will want to continue to consider gameflow. I will explain how you can gain insurance for your fantasy football lineups after explaining gameflow.
Game flow is a scenario or scenarios of the real game of football that is based on the decided course of action guided by events that manifest
themselves through coaches and players as an extension of those coaches.
Even though analytics have been unwelcoming results at times, it seems its to become more of a factor in coaching decisions. While the winning way of the patriots may not change for example, they are always looking for tricks or ways to cheat the systems or rules that are in place. There is nothing new about the Raiders slipping in some stick em for their equipment. Not good for cosmetic gameplay though.
What does this have to do with fantasy football? Well, we will always do well to analyze how the game strategy or game flow might be changing. Coaches know that fresh legs account for half their running back workload. There is also another factor we can consider.
The %50 ball in play, or in the air is a factor of the game that more coaches seem to be willing to take a risk on. Ryan Fitzpatrick was interviewed at the end of his heroic run of beating winning teams early in the year as saying “we take a chance on a %50 %50 ball and take those shots as sometimes it works and sometimes it dosen’t,” however, that coach is no longer in his position. We want to have as low of risk tolerance without losing much upside as possible. So here is your own high insurance policy.
What you want to do no matter what type of format you are playing in is to take little risk at the QB position. I know its common to wait until late to draft a quarterback however, spending up for one of the higher salaried quarterbacks. This gives you a solid floor of points as the quarterbacks are usually the highest scoring position, similar to the pitcher in baseball or the goalie in hockey, the importance of the quarterback is a safe evaluation. This will provide you with the baseline of floor points and the upside of a high scoring buy to make up for any lack potentially for any zeros you might score. Ok, so once you have that quarterback, what else can you spend up on?
Running back is another position with high floor and ceiling. They touch the ball more than the quarterback perhaps in the 2nd half of a game with the right game flow, as mentioned above. With a 7+ point lead, a team can lean toward the running game. Remember, a good running game is a result from a good offense, not the cause. A poor team is not constructed to be able to run the ball when coming from behind. That’s just not how losing teams do it. So, is there any last way of providing your fantasy team insurance?
Well, if your using high enough draft picks or salary on these positions, you are in good position. If you have lower risk tolerance, you may want to next turn to the defense. Good team defenses in a good matchup with a high chance of getting turnovers and touchdowns will be the trick. As for your receivers, you will not have a whole lot of capital left unless you find some steals. Here is where you want to go high upside. Give yourself shots at touchdowns with receivers and your 2nd running back. Allow risk at these positions with the higher upside payoff instead of the 3 previous positions mentioned.

When considering your overall fantasy football lineups strategy for 2019, we all know its going to be about both your draft strategy and the players you pick during your draft.
This will be part 1 of a 2 part blog post, where I decided to break up the information for the following post as well.
When you play in daily fantasy leagues and season long as well, your perspectives change somewhat as to what works and what does not. This can cause some confusion from my experience when you use tools and daily style of analysis to comprehend what you are doing in your season long leagues. You will find out how game flow affects these strategies for hopefully helping you to see better results for 2019 compared to 2018.
First when preparing for a season long league you have to contend with 2 more difficult factors.
These variable and moving factors cause many players in fantasy season long football to become frustrated. You are stuck for a while with the players you drafted, so you have one shot, so to speak on your draft. Here’s a question then, when it comes to what position you draft and the game flow. Running backs who actually run the ball a lot are a result mostly of good teams running down the clock IF playing it conservatively at the end of games. This is not obviously always the case, even with the best teams in the league. This is why LA and NE teams can be so effective, as they jump out with the lead, as these beast running backs carry the load late in a favorable game flow.
It actually means you cannot rely on this variable for your league draft, nor in daily cash drafts, in which you have a salary cap. Therefore, you will be relying on the passing game season long.
With the prior example, when was the last time you saw a workhorse back who touches the ball 25+ times on the ground? Even with the prior example, these teams running backs got hurt and/or split carries with other running backs. So don’t rely on running backs to dominate your draft. It won’t happen unless you include the passing game in on your draft determinations.
Its really a simple game. You still need to draft a running back under these considerations early in your draft, and draft the right 2 guys really. I say the right 2 guys, because you can take a running back in mid to late rounds and get a lot of production as well. You can even find plug and play guys during the season from waiver wires.
So the next question is, what do you do with your other picks. Well, it depends on the individual player.
My wife watches this television show called the Real. I suppose the show themes itself on “keeping it real” or I could be wrong as to the purpose of the show or how it has evolved, however in fantasy football in particular, you need to keep it real, to give yourself the best chance, not to dominate your draft and season, but to stay in the game, mid tier by making the playoffs and giving yourself the right adjustments to your roster, so you can hopefully win the championship.
Will you realistically find a KC QB again this year. Likely not. Mahomes is once in a decade. So, while drafting the right QB is essential, you have no need to reach for one in any standard or PPR league unless there is an early run in a 2 QB league scenario. We will discuss flow of your draft in the next article.
I will continue this topic in the next post to discuss more about gameflow and the roster construction goals you will want to have including your own free built in insurance policy for every lineup.
I will do this post once a month during the off-season for those who are ready for best ball drafts to give you a great idea of what players are given good to great value based on their overall ADP from recent drafts. This way we can get players at a bargain in DRAFT drafts so that you have your best chance at season long results there.
Also, I will wait until some time after training camps begin before I give my fantasy football draft board for 2019.
You can head right to the link on the picture by clicking on it for the current promotion for a free entry contest. Even if you had to pay just a dollar the way you may want to use this site is to prepare for your major fantasy football season long drafts. Since I see no difference in scoring to many leagues such as Yahoo, ESPN, and even Fanduel, you can see right now where players are going in these drafts. You may want to first search out the overall or Average Draft Position to see where your favorite players are currently going in drafts with as many players and payouts as you choose.
This way you can truly see the results of your chosen team without having to worry about which players to play week to week. If you drafted the best overall players, you win, simple as that. Here though are a few questions for consideration you may have before getting your feet wet perhaps for the first time, or even if you have played best ball on this site before, or similar sites.
Well, the strategy is not a whole lot different. Be focused on securing your RB position and go from there with your best overall players pivoting away from the RB position at the right time, and then solidifying other positions with enough depth and value throughout your roster. The only other difference to your regular season long drafts besides the one I will next over is that there is no great reason to draft a handcuff or player who is a backup to a starter, who can step in once a player is hurt. This is not needed, because your next best scoring guys are automatically used to score week to week for you without making any adjustments to your roster.
You might be a bit surprised for me to say no, you don’t need to focus on the most consistent players in this format as one of the only differences in your draft strategy from season long to best ball. The reason is because as long as you create value with players that have the upside to score on any given week, you can give up consistency for upside in most cases because when that player has a low variance downsided day, other players will pick it up for you without having to make any changes to your roster. In fact if you don’t want, you don’t have to check your roster all season long since the players on your roster with the highest scores will automatically have their points count towards your positional scoring total.
I will not run through the whole list, however, give you a players that you can draft perhaps in every round that will give you a leg up on the competition overall during the season.
You have to especially be careful, the more you spend on this site, as a lot of things will happen such as injuries during the course of the off-season and regular season that could potentially derail your best ball season. Since we cannot predict a lot of things at this point in the season, we also want to diversity our picks as much as possible, not always drafting the same players, so that we can accept varied results during the season.
With that said, here are the players that have great value at every round.
Round 1: Any of the top tier RBs are just fine in this round. Zeke Elliott, Alvin Kamara, Saqon Barkley, and Christian McCaffrey are all just fine. If your picking beyond the first 4 picks, you could get creative, but you may want to take one of the next tier RB’s like David Johnson or Melvin Gordon to shore up some of the top scoring guys at any position for you. Towards the end of the firs round I would consider pivoting away to obtain one of the top WR’s such as DeAndre Hopkins or Devonte Adams.
Round 2: The biggest question on most current drafts is Todd Gurley. Is he able to physically take on the top role on your team. The team didn’t really believe so when the signed a matching offer to their backup RB and traded up to the 3rd round to draft a RB as as well. i would’nt draft him at all probably. The other guys that look interesting in this round in 10 man (or woman) leagues are Michael Thomas, James Conner, Joe Mixon, and maybe JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Round 3: This is where you start winning your league with decisions that hopefully include these decisions: Adam Thielen, Derrick Henry, and Damien Williams.
Round 4: If you can get one of these guys, your creating great value if getting Leonard Fournette, Amari Cooper, or Aaron Jones.
Round 5: Kenny Golladay, Robert Woods, and Phillip Lindsay or my top picks here.
Round 6: Calvin Ridley, James White, Tarik Cohen, with a sleeper pick, Miles Sanders in this round.
Round 7: Here’s where you could take Andrew Luck, Jarvis Landry, or Lamar Miller.
Round 8: Eric Ebron if available, Tevin Coleman, or Will Fuller
Round 9: Here you could start thinking right away about Baker Mayfield, Ronald Jones as a sleeper and Sterling Shepard, who should get opportunties.
Round 10: In this round I like Kareem Hunt and Jerick McKinnon to try to add depth to the RB’s. Risk accepted here.
As for the rest of the rounds, fill out your roster balancing out a minimum of 2 quality QB’s, 5 Rbs’ 2 Te’s and 6 WRs. for your team.
If you have any of your own questions, I will certainly go ahead and answer those for you.
So if your planning on getting back to playing the most popular sports game online or offline in the world, let’s help set the tone for fantasy football in 2019. Although I cannot confirm this statement as a fact, i would say its definitely the most popular fantasy sports game played in america.
As a 20+ year veteran of fantasy football, and even longer interest in football itself, I start really preparing now. You may have been busy in other things of course throughout your day, working, feeding your children, spending time with them, and with your spouse, taking care of your home, as well as vacationing, and even occasionally having a couple beers from your favorite vendor or brewery when you get spare time.
However when its time to get back to the business of fantasy football, we take priority and pride to the the extend of which we feel necessary in balance of our lives to take the time for preparing to win.
NFL teams are taking part in spring drills voluntary or in voluntary, or just holding out for more.
I don’t want to bore you with those details, at least not yet, but however reflect on what it takes to get back to fantasy football after what may seem to be a long off-season.
Many people may be looking for season long or fantasy football draft advice at this point in the post draft process and start of mini camps.
However, as you may well know, that over the course of time, these draft picks and players, whether they are actually team draft picks or draft picks that you make before the season starts for your own fantasy team, that basically these picks do not pan out like you thought they would. In other words, you he’s not who you thought he was.
This will happen every year to guys or gals who have hopes and dreams of obtaining the fantasy football world’s most prized possession. A fantasy trophy. More than any possible cash played for , its the experience, and free feeling of being the best guy or gal in the game. That’s it!
Anyone who see and recognizes talent can bear up under these challenges. Getting back to fantasy football includes getting back to your basic strategies that may have gotten you there in years past, or re-tweaking the ideas and methods that you had for drafting.
Time and time again, or every year, we see a few quarterbacks going high in the draft, including the first 2 rounds of a 10 or 12 team draft. While this may be due to necessity, it is not necessary in a standard 1 QB league whether PPR (Point per reception) or Standard (0 points per reception) league. The quarterback, even though you may not be getting the superstar of the decade, Patrick Mahomes, is well worth the wait or weight in gold value.
This example would be used for those who take on the daily league experience whether that be the popular fanduel or draftkings ect..
When entering these contests a lot of people try to get cash by entering %50/50 and or double ups to try to get yourself consistently in cash as well as have money for tournaments that pays for itself. Similar in a way to lineups in most other sports such as baseball and hockey, the stacked scenario works as long as the team you are stacking scores enough points to go around. While this does not always happen, for example the super bowl being one of the lowest scoring of all time, which no one anticipated to happen shows that there are definite exceptions. Being football savvy however, can get you off of certain games and at least get diversity in this sense. I will make this a focal point of our scoring philosophies in all types of fantasy football for 2019. Get game pass to be able to go back and review any games in the nfl from 2018. For more on how to game stack in football review my post, how to game stack 2018.
Given a player has the opportunity to consistently put of big fantasy numbers will help you be ready for fantasy football in 2019.
In this article today, I will go over recaps for every team that effects fantasy football. This would be for an offensive league only.
Round 1: QB Kyler Murray, Round 2: WRAndy Isabella, Round 4: WR Hakeem Butler, Round 6: WR Keashon Johnson
Arizona has impacted the passing game with draft. It makes sense to go for the big target in Butler, as he was my 2nd WR that was supposed to be off the board. Isabella brings a lot of speed perhaps as the slot receiver. You have to figure these 2 guys will get some fantasy production in year 1 along with Murray as the WR’s learn from Larry Fitzgerald.
Round 2: Deebo Samuel, Round 3: Jalen Hurd, Round 6: Kaden Smith TE
The 49ers have the man it seems at WR. Samuel is one of the best overall WR’s in the draft and should have every opportunity to make an immediate impact. Hurd adds depth.
Round 4: TE Treven Wesco
No fantasy impact with this draft as their money is tied up with Le’veon Bell. A little surprising however that they obtained no WR depth.
Round 1: RB Josh Jacobs, Round 4: TE Foster Moreau, Round 5: WR Hunter Renfrow
I am a little surprised they took the RB in round 1. He may make more immediate impact then anyone in among fantasy football rookies. Renfrow has a nice chance to do so as well as the slot receiver.
Round 6: WR Scott Miller
No known impact for this pick on fantasy football.
Round 1: Daniel Jones, Round 5: Darius Slayton WR
The potential impact is a starting QB who can run. Slayton is a good athlete.
Round 3: Josh Oliver: TE, Round 5: Ryquel Armstead RB, Round 6: Gardner Minshew QB
The Jags get themselves some depth in the backfield and possibly a starting TE. Te’s however don’t usually do well in fantasy in their first year.
Round 1: Thomas Hockenson: TE, Round 6: Travis Fulgham, Round 6: Ty Johnson, Round 7: Issac Nata
The Lions got themselves an immediate impact player at TE I believe, to be worth a flier in any late round fantasy draft this year.
Round 3: Devin Sigletary RB; Dawson Knox TE; Round 7: Thomas Sweeney TE
Buffalo seems to have their RB to replace the aging and injured McCoy finally. Frank Gore and TJ Yeldon don’t matter as a potential running back.
Round 3: Dionte Johnson WR; Round 4 Benjamin Snell; Round 6: Zack Gentry
The top 2 rookies will get their share of work especially as injuries creep up.
For each team what I want to do is take the player in this mock draft that will instantly impact their (or your) fantasy team, depending on if you use these players and teams in your fantasy football draft. Here is the draft order along with the pick for each team.
The pick is in for each team, with the goal of becoming better in fantasy for 2019. Forget the Super Bowl. We want to win our fantasy football championship! If you’ll notice QB’s not selected high, as they should not be in fantasy drafts either.
When it comes to defensive backs headed into the national football league we look to the 2019 NFL draft position rankings for help.
As a fantasy football analyst, the defensive back rankings are the most important fantasy football matchup indicators on the defensive side of the ball. You may also want to see my article, top players of the 1st round, regardless of position. Also visit TheDraftNetwork for real analysis of players by position and overall rankings for the 2019 draft. Unfortuanly, no longer do we have DraftBreakDown.com to check out a rolled deck of videos, rather you have to search on Youtube one player at a time.
Well, it not for the reason you might think. IDP’s or individual defensive players may play a part in your fantasy football strategy, however, the matchup vs. your fantasy football wide receiver and tight end are far more important to your championship prospects.
With that said, what we are looking for, not only in a rookie defensive back but with any defensive back in the nfl, as long as we are assuming that any CB that is starting in the nfl can play in the nfl according to the depth chart. This is obviously not decided until training camp is completed. Even then, injuries happen and defensive backs are placed in positions they may not be ready for, testing the defensive depth of the team.
We are looking for height/speed advantages. I would say height over speed as we also assume that an NFLer running a 4.35 is not a whole lot different that one running a 4.55 40 yard dash in the combine. However we will create some value in this measurement as a 1A and 1B scenario.
This breakdown therefore will include these factors as well as the estimated fantasy points allowed per catch, as this is no foregone conclusion and much more difficult to measure in college as for the purpose of competition which does not stay the same when entering into the NFL. So why bother trying to measure this point in the matchup?
However the better we know and scout this particular group of players, the better prepared we will be in evaluation talent based on measurable physical competition rather then subjective or opinionated analysis.
Here are the best fantasy football corners by the cornerback and then safety position.
Williams has #1 corner written all over him. The concern is the lack of invites (0) that he has gotten invites from teams from. Unless he is that sure of a thing. This combination of height (6-2) and speed (4.37) rivals only the next guy. However the skillset appears equal to no one in this class.
2. Jamel Dean
Yes if he gets draft in the 2nd round don’t be surprised as he should make a nice potential impact due to his fastest 40 time in the class of 4.30 along with his 6-1 height its pretty amazing he ran that fast.
3. Isaiah Johnson
Johnson also has an amazing size/speed combo making him a boom or bust type prospect as far as the 1st or 2nd round potential is concerned. His 4.40 speed along with his desirable 6-2 frame screams nice physical attributes for the next level with potential to develop into nightmares for average WR’s in the league.
4. Sean Bunting
I could have put Bunting ahead of Johnson easily but at 6 ft, I’d rather take the 2 inches. The 4.42 40 yard time is also close. Bunting probably has better corner coverage skills then Johnson.
5. Amani Oruwariye
Came through with a very good 40 time of 4.47 at 6-2. He comes through making big plays on interceptions and pass breakups, and should do so at the next level.
6. Trayvon Mullen
Good cover CB skills to go along with a 4.46 and 6-1 frame will help him move his draft stock up to the late 2nd round for a CB needy team.
7. Derek Thomas
At 6-3 with a 4.44 40 yard dash, I should have put him higher. Maybe I still will.
8. Justin Layne
Ran a 4.50 with a 6-2 measurement. He could be a 1 st round pick!
9. Byron Murphy
At only 5-11, running a slower then 4.5 I hope no one actually drafts him in the 1st round but that’s where drat experts have him going.
10 Rock, Ya-Sin
Ran a 4.5 with a 6 ft frame he should last no longer then the 2nd round.
We’ll next consider a few safeties along those same lines of thought for your fantasy matchups for 2019.
Thornhill has the best combination of size and speed in the draft at safety, running a 4.42 40 time at 6ft 200 lbs.
2. Darnell Savage
At 5’11” and 192 lbs he is not intimidating as a physical presence however his speed at a 4.36 40 time may match him up all over the field and provide a starting caliber safety for an NFL team this year.
3. Chauncy Gardner-Johnson
Running a 4.48 40 yard dash at 6ft and 207 lbs is just fine, as he is probably the best overall safety prospect on the board.
4. Jonathan Abram
At 6ft and 215 lbs, he kinda reminds me of the Jet’s Jamal Adams without the polished skillset needed to actually be a 1st round pick. It appears he did not run in the 40 yard dash, so his speed is unknown.
Picking the NFL draft’s best available is much easier then picking the actual drafted players in the correct order. In fact, because of the continued variable during the draft itself, it more impossible to pick then the NCAA men’s March Madness tournament. So in stead here is the best available regardless of position.
