Eli the Fantasy Guy

Luke Musgrave The Green Bay Packers just came off a season tied for fourth among NFL offenses with 0.086 expected points added (EPA) per play while ranking 7th in the league in touchdowns with 50. Yes, they have a lot of mouths to feed. And Luke Musgrave didn't compile big numbers like some other rookie TEs last year, totaling just 352 receiving yards and a touchdown in 11 games before ending his season on IR. However, when he was healthy, his usage in comparison to teammate Tucker Kraft when they were both available shows who the Packers envision to be the top TE. Musgrave was more of the move tight end or receiving tight end lining up in the slot and even the outside. While Kraft spent a higher percentage of his snaps in a blocking role. If that continues, Musgrave will be the primary receiving tight end for an ascending Jordan Love on an explosive offense. He’s coming off the board in the 13th round in dynasty Superflex startups as TE18. And can be obtained for a 2024 late 2n...

Ezekiel Elliot   ADP 130, RB 40 on Underdog Ezekiel Elliot ended the 2023 season as RB32 last year. And he only took on a significant role after Rhamondre Stevenson's injury late in the year. When he had the backfield to himself, though, he surprisingly produced solid numbers. His blocking and receiving skills allowed him to stay on the field for all 3 downs, catching a lot of passes actually leading the Patriots in receptions in 2023. He may never be a RB1 again, but he definitely has RB2 upside as the main back in Dallas with only Rico Dowdle likely to take carries away. So with a potential 3 down role and a lot of TD equity on a high powered offense (40 catches and 10 TDs are totally realistic), it's easy to see a path for him to well outperform his ADP at the end of the 11th round. In my latest Underdog draft, I picked him up in the 11th Rd as my 4th RB.  Rashee Rice ADP 83, WR 47 on Underdog We all know why Rashee Rice's ADP has plummeted. But no matter where I look, h...

Different league setups offer different challenges and require different strategies. A lineup league that starts only 8 or 9 offensive players requires a different approach than a deeper bestball league that starts 11 or 12. In lineup leagues, I feel more comfortable with the consistent guys and I'm always looking to consolidate my depth into elite starters for my lineup. However, in deep bestball leagues, I wanna do the opposite. I want as many potential scorers with high ceilings, even if they cannot all be elite or may not be consistent scorers, on my roster. My bestball team is only as good as the depth on my bench really. So something that I like to do, and have been doing all offseason, is making trades where I tier down at a position to acquire multiple players or a lesser valued player within the same tier or tier below along with a draft pick. If I can trade a player but still get back 2 players who produce or a supposed lesser player in return with similar production AND ...

When Will Levis got his chance to start in week 9 last season, he couldn't have dreamed up a better performance. Fantasy owners jumped for joy. He put up an eye-popping 34 point fantasy game throwing for 4 TDs. Unfortunately, the rest of the season wasn't as explosive. It was a mixed bag of single digit fantasy performances along with a few games in the high teens, then ending the year with an injury. But you could see the promise and potential. He averaged just over 15 fantasy points per game in the games he started and finished (he left the week 17 game after only 6 pass attempts). By November last year, Will Levis's dynasty Superflex trade value was at it's peak. But since, it has plummeted back down to its lowest point since the beginning of the 2023 season (according to Keep Trade Cut & DLF value charts).  I find this to be a bit insane. Levis was a 2nd Rd pick who is likely to not only improve upon his rookie season, but be given every opportunity to retain th...
