2013 DYNASTY LEAGUE NUGGETS



“WHAT I WOULD DO”

“A DYNASTY LOOK INSIDE MY MIND”


Hello fantasy footballers it’s me again “THE FANTASY TYPHOON” here to bring you another installment of dynasty football the Fantasy Football 1 on 1 way. In this episode I am going to walk you through the changes that I made to a dynasty team that I took over last year and show you where we came from and where we are going in the future. We are a 4pt QB pass TD and a 1 point ppr settings league. We made the playoff in 2012 but got kicked out the first game we played. We have revamped the QB, RB and TE which held us back last year. Now we are 1 or 2 WR moves away from competing for the top spot.



 
MOVES DURING THE 2012 SEASON

The first move I made was to get rid of Mikel Leshoure because we here at Fantasy Football 1 on 1 saw that he was under performing. He could not catch the ball in space which is a top requirement for a Modified Spread Offense running back so we knew his time was limited. We traded him off and picked up Tony Romo for our starting QB.

Then we wrapped up Christin Ponder and Kendall Hunter and took some 2013 drafts picks. We knew that Ponder’s tape was awful to watch and the crowded backfield in SF was not working for our three year window.

.

MOVES WE MADE OVER THE OFF SEASON

We first traded off Michael Vick and picked up Jason Witten during the off season.

Then we traded off our 2014 1st and 2nd round picks to acquire the services of Steven Jackson. We have more than enough time to replace the 2014 1st and 2nd round picks before next year’s draft.

ROOKIE DRAFT RESULTS

We had our rookie draft the second week in May and now this is what my squad looks like as of today.



Our draft went like this:

  • ·         Tyler Eifert (Keeping)
  • ·         Justin Hunter (Keeping)
  • ·         Robert Woods (Keeping)
  • ·         Stedman Bailey (Trading/Keeping)
  • ·         Aaron Mellette (Trading/Keeping)
  • ·         Tyler Wilson (Trading)
  • ·         and Ryan Swope (Trading/Keeping).

As you can very well see, YES I take my own dynasty advice and I picked up future studs in Eifert, Hunter, and Woods. Now Stedman Bailey, Aaron Mellette, Tyler Wilson, and Ryan Swope all came from the proceeds from the Ponder/Kendall Hunter trade. Since we have acquired the services of Tyler Eifert I quickly shipped off Antonio Gates for Brent Celek and a 2014 3rd and two 2014 4th round picks. Once Eifert blows up and takes over for Jermaine Gresham then I plan on trading out Witten for a 1st round pick whether it’s this year or next. I also plan to trade the 2014 3rd and two 4th aquired from the Brent Celek trade for a 2014 2nd. If you have not had your dynasty rookie draft I have complied the rookies into tiers to help you find the 2013 rookie draft gems (CLICK HERE)


The rules are that we can carry 28 guys through training camp but the Monday before the season starts we have to be trimmed down to 24 players. Right now we have 26 players on the roster and once FA opens we will quickly pick up Chris Thompson and Charles Johnson and Levine Toilolo and drop the Atlanta Falcons defense. We will pick up Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense to jell with our Seattle Seahawks defense once one of these guys busts in training camp. We expect it to be Levine Toilolo. We are trying to trade off Tyler Wilson while the off season buzz is high and have the option to keep Toilolo just in case his preseason tape is a hit. The best offer for Tyler we have received was a 2013 3rd and we declined. We expect to bring in at least a 2014 2nd  especially if he receives the nod to start this year.


We are in negotiations to ship off Percy Harvin and a low level player and secure the services of Dez Bryant. This article was just a brief overview to get you familiarized with our players and how we got to where we are today. Tune in to the next installment to find out why we are moving Percy for Dez before camp.

2013 NFL ROOKIE CLASS FOR DYNASTY FORMATS



BY “THE FANTASY TYPHOON”

LISTEN TO ROOKIE PODCAST HERE 


CAN’T MISS TOP TALENT!

2          34        Titans             Justin Hunter            WR     Tennessee                SEC

We have Justin Hunter at the top of our board based on talent and potential only. He has the shell of AJ Green. We don’t care where he lands he will produce for you in the allotted 3 year rookie dynasty window. You will not be disappointed. 


2          41        Bills                Robert Woods           WR     USC                           Pac-12

Crisp route runner with the ability to beat the jam at the line of scrimmage in college, now as a NFL rookie. Might not be the fastest but has sure hands and should shoulder a long prosperous NFL career as well. That’s we are looking for in dynasty formats right?


2          48        Steelers         LeVeon Bell              RB      Michigan State         Big Ten

We love the talent and situation that Leveon Bell has found himself in. He is a talented back that is now in a Traditional Pro-Style Offense and we expect to see some good numbers from him once he gets settled. He should be entrenched as the bell cow well within the 3 year rookie window. Could he be the new 1.1


1          21        Bengals         Tyler Eifert                 TE       Notre Dame               Ind.

We love this guy’s talent. Players like these top four guys will play in any system for a long time. That’s why these guys are slated at the top of their class. Even if they are traded they will still get the first nod to start until they retire. The rookie RB’s and QB’s in 2013 are shaky at best so beware. These guys above are full of talent and talent plays on Sunday.



TALENT MEETS SITUATION

2          58        Broncos         Montee Ball               RB      Wisconsin                 Big Ten

Montee Ball was one of my favorite running backs before the NFL rookie draft begun. Now that he lands in Denver is awesome for his value. Please be advised that as long as Manning is QB, HE MUST BE ABLE TO EXCEL AT PASS PROTECTION. They are not letting this guy hit the field unless they are 110% sure of his pass blocking skills to protect Manning. If he gets time on the field and misses a passing block you best be sure that he is immediately coming to the bench. Also, McGahee will not be released and Ball WILL NOT see any parts of the field again until this is proven in practice. Take that to the bank.


1          29        Vikings           Cordarrelle Patterson          WR     Tennessee    SEC

We love this guy’s film but the downside is that he is so raw. It may take more than the 3 year rookie window before this guy catches on fire. You could pass on him and back track and pick him up cheaply from a frustrated owner years later if he starts off slowly. Ponder is good enough to focus on one player/one read and get him heavily involved. While the box will be stacked against Peterson and double teams are dispatched to Jennings the middle of the field will be crying for attention. Insert Cordarrelle. Upside is through the roof but he is Steven Hill type raw.


2          37        Bengals         Giovani Bernard       RB      North Carolina          ACC
We here at Fantasy Football 1 on 1 have a different view on the Bernard/Bengals marriage. Marvin Lewis runs the Traditional West Coast Offense which is very conservative. Questions we ask ourselves, What was Bernard drafted for? Is he and every down back? Will he ever take BJGE's job? Bernard is being drafted as a 3rd down back and not a bell cow. We and the coaching staff view him as a life long scatback and never a bell cow in any system. Lewis loves his plodders as the RB1 it's been documented and confirmed over the years. You've been warned!

1          8          Rams             Tavon Austin             WR     West Virginia            Big 12
You guys do realize that you are spending your 1.1 on me, lol. I am smaller than Jahvid Best and Austin Collie and my job each and every week will be to go across the middle and complete suicide missions for a living. Let that sink in for a minute. 

5          160     Rams              Zac Stacy                  RB      Vanderbilt                  SEC
HONK, HONK, HONK. WAKE UP! You are asleep at the wheel. (Missed Zac)
 
2          59        Patriots           Aaron Dobson        WR     Marshall                   C-USA
WOW you are still sleeping. (Missed Dobson).
  
4          131     49ers              Marcus Lattimore     RB      South Carolina         SEC
You have finally woke up from your deep deep sleep and it's the year 2014. Now ask yourself what injury are they talking about with Lattimore?

2          35        Eagles            Zach Ertz                  TE       Stanford                     Pac-12
Ha Ha Chip Kelly I killed your college team championship hopes. You saw up close and personal what I can do with my skill set. Now use me to my strengths.

3          74        Cowboys       Terrance Williams    WR     Baylor                          Big 12
YEZZZZ ZIIIIRRRRR!!!! One good three or four week hammy from Miles and it's a wrap.

2          61        Packers          Eddie Lacy              RB      Alabama                  SEC
OUCH my big toe has been acting up.Jonathan back me up bro.

4          125     Packers         Johnathan Franklin   RB      UCLA                         Pac-12
Yeah I know I switched your shoes and gave you a pair 2 sizes too small. Now get out of my way and let me PUT IN THIS WORK you back up.
 
1          16        Bills                E.J. Manuel               QB      Florida State             ACC
OK EJ grab your helmet your are up! Kolb just got a concussion.  OK I'm ready coach, NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN THERE AGAIN.

I hope you understand and read between the lines what I am suggesting for your 2013 Rookie Drafts. Good Luck!
