Dynasty League Football Rankings Now Available in Draft Buddy

July 27, 2015 By Draft Buddy Leave a Comment

DLF_Banner

I am pleased to announce a big boost to our Draft Buddy fantasy football software customers! I received permission from Dynasty League Football – the premiere dynasty content fantasy football resource – to make their dynasty rankings more readily available for inclusion in Draft Buddy.

While the DLF rankings are freely available on their website, and our customers could always therefore import them into Draft Buddy via our optional Projection Pal add-on tool, now things are much easier. I’ve done the work for you. Yes, I hear a huge sigh of relief!

Available from the Buddy download page are two new files you can download. One is Projection Pal preloaded with DLF rankings. The other is Draft Buddy preloaded with DLF rankings.

Positions included are QB, RB, WR, TE, DL, LB and DB. The rankings are updated as of July 26, and I will update them periodically to the start of the season.

If you want to add the DLF rankings to your current copy of Draft Buddy for your dynasty league, download Projection Pal, adjust the Buddy filename specified on the setup tab and hit the Copy to Compiler button on each of the position Raw tabs. The rankings get copied to Custom 1 in your copy of Buddy.

If you just want to start from scratch prepping for your dynasty league draft, or want to review how I adjust Buddy options to make the DLF rankings the default cheatsheet rankings in Buddy, then download the DLF copy of Draft Buddy.

Thanks very much to the DLF crew for agreeing to share their rankings to our Draft Buddy customers! Feel free to post your own thank you in the comments or on social media. Please post or direct any questions about adding DLF rankings to Draft Buddy to me and I’ll help out as quickly as possible.

Importing Dynasty Rankings Into Draft Buddy

July 8, 2014 By Draft Buddy Leave a Comment

Here is a new YouTube video to demonstrate importing dynasty fantasy football rankings from DynastyLeagueFootball.com into Draft Buddy using Projection Pal. This will be useful for anyone attempting to import any data or projections into Buddy via Pal.

This particular example also includes use of the custom fields and custom scoring tab, used to tell Buddy to sort the players by the imported rankings instead of the projected fantasy points calculated from the redraft (current season) projections.

If you have any questions please post a comment. Review old videos at my YouTube channel.

Dynasty League Football Mock Draft 5 With Commentary, Rounds 6-10

January 8, 2014 By Draft Buddy Leave a Comment

Continuing the prior post with player commentary from a dynasty mock draft I’m participating in, here are my picks for Rounds 6 through 10.

6.07 WR Kenny Stills, NO

Stills in one of a handful of players I had high on my dynasty start-up wish list, and he fills a need discussed in the Vincent Jackson commentary, that he’s a young budding WR to balance out the Larry Fitzgerald and Jackson picks. Watching Stills play, we can see he is much more than a one trick deep ball specialist the Saints have rotated through for a number of seasons without any lasting fantasy impact. Although his targets are still modest, snaps increased through the season and he should continue to work his way up the Saints depth chart. In the meantime, he’s a big play waiting to happen so the low targets are not as much of a detriment as they otherwise would be. A 1-70-1 line from your WR3 can help you win a week.

Favourite Pick Round 6: 6.04 TE Jordan Cameron, CLE

Least Favourite Pick Round 6: 6.06 WR Roddy White, ATL

7.06 RB Chris Johnson, TEN

Okay, I’m not nearly the biggest Chris Johnson fan around, but doesn’t this look like a steal for a mid-7th round pick? Maybe not grand larceny, but at least petty theft. I owned CJ in one league this past season. Unfortunately it was an auction league and he counted a lot towards my cap, and he truly gave me a headache trying to figure out when to start him or whether to bench him. Regardless, he has never finished a season with less than 1,400 yards. He missed 40 receptions once (36 in 2012). He scored 10 or more TD four times, including 10 in 2013. When he gets released from the Tennessee Titans, he will sign somewhere to be a feature back. Maybe that team will use him to maximize his talent. If the offers aren’t what he expects, maybe he’ll get a chip on his shoulder to show just how talented he is. There is a whole lot of upside with this pick.

Favourite Pick Round 7: 7.11 QB Nick Foles, PHI

Least Favourite Pick Round 7: 7.12 TE Jordan Reed, WAS

8.07 WR Denarius Moore, OAK

Moore has not quite lived up to the expectations of fantasy football message board communities, but then again, some pretty heady expectations come out of those parts of the Internet. Moore has consistently averaged 7.1 to 7.7 fantasy points per game for three seasons. He’s missed 1 to 3 games each year. He’s played with terrible quarterbacking on a sad sack of a franchise. He’s still only 25 years old. The talent is there for more. The opportunity might not be, for now, given the state of the Oakland Raiders. He is worth an add at this point given his youth and talent to see which way his career trends.

Favourite Pick Round 8: (Tie) 8.02 WR Terrance Williams, DAL and 8.05 WR Julian Edelman, NE

Least Favourite Pick Round 8: 8.11 TE Kyle Rudolph, MIN

9.06 TE Vernon Davis, SF

When you take a QB early in the draft, as I did in this one, it is difficult to also take a top TE early and not leave yourself a bit desperate looking at RB and WR, or vice versa if you take a TE early. Sure, I wouldn’t mind a Julius Thomas or Cameron Jordan, or a prospect like Ladarius Green, but I wasn’t willing to pay that high a price for one of them. Given this team is shaping into an early contender, why not add a reliable, consistent top TE to shore up that starter spot? There will be lots of opportunity for TE prospects later. As luck would have it, both Davis and Jason Witten were available. Davis relies more on touchdowns for fantasy, while Witten relies more on volume of catches. The decision to go with Davis essentially came down to age, with VD holding a two year youth advantage on JW.

Favourite Pick Round 9: 9.04 RB Ben Tate, HOU

Least Favourite Pick Round 9: 9.11 RB Pierre Thomas, NO

10.07 WR Marlon Brown, BAL

Is this the earliest 2013 UDFA drafted so far? Not sure, but Brown earned it with the rookie campaign he put together for the receiver needy Baltimore Ravens. Normally I wouldn’t be quick to jump on a potential one-year wonder (and really, a 10th round pick is not that significant), but Brown has two things going for him that stand out for me. First, he’s 6’5″ and 215 lbs. If you are going to take a flier on a young WR, get one with ideal physical traits. Brown has that. Second, he scored 7 TD all inside the red zone. Sure, Dennis Pitta was out for most of the season which gave Brown some opportunity, but he showed an incredible knack for scoring in close. Great skill, one many receivers never latch on to. I feel bullish on Brown and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for not a lot of pedigree getting bypassed in the rookie draft. The forward looking Ravens WR depth chart is still very thin.

Favourite Pick Round 10: 10.08 WR Jarrett Boykin, GB

Least Favourite Pick Round 10: 10.04 WR Ace Sanders, JAC

  • Russell Wilson Hasn't Demanded A Trade Show More

    Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has not demanded a trade, according to his agent, Mark Rodgers. Wilson wants to stay in Seattle and has a no-trade clause, but if a trade were considered, the only teams he would play for would be the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders or Chicago Bears. Another reason a trade is unlikely: Wilson has a pre-June 1 dead salary cap number of $39 million ($7 million in savings). He also carries a post-June 1 dead cap number of $13 million in 2021 ($19 million saved) and $26 million dead cap number in 2022. The 32-year-old has made the Pro Bowl in seven of his nine seasons in the NFL and was on pace to be the MVP in 2020 before Seattle's offense crumbled in the second half. Wilson is ultimately expected to remain with the Seahawks and mend his relationship with them, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that he's traded. He's likely to remain a top-tier QB1 no matter where he's playing in 2021.

    Buddy Take There are enough reports floating around that Wilson very likely is disgruntled with his current situation, but end of the day, it seems very unlikely he'll be playing in another uniform next season.

  • Texans Still Unwilling To Talk Deshaun Watson Trade Show More

    The Houston Texans remain unwilling to talk about quarterback Deshaun Watson with other teams, with some clubs resorting to leaving voicemails with their trade offers, according to sources. Watson spoke with head coach David Culley recently, but the two have yet to meet in person. The 25-year-old franchise signal-caller hasn't backed off his demands to be dealt, but the Texans aren't budging. This situation will continue to be the biggest offseason storyline as we head into the new league year next month. Even without All-Pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins as his top receiver in 2020, Watson finished as the No. 4 fantasy QB behind Josh Allen, Kyler Murray and Aaron Rodgers. He could land in a better situation if he's ultimately traded, but even if he stays in Houston, Watson will be a top-tier, dual-threat fantasy quarterback.

  • Derek Carr Likely To Stay, Marcus Mariota Likely Gone? Show More

    It's looking more likely that Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will remain with the team in 2021, while backup Marcus Mariota has been the subject of trade calls. Mariota is due $10 million in the final year of his contract and would probably get a chance to return to a starting gig under center in the NFL if he is dealt to another team. The Raiders remain committed to Carr under head coach Jon Gruden, which is why it's unlikely that Mariota will remain with the black and silver. The 27-year-old Mariota looked really good in relief of an injured Carr against the division-rival Chargers late in the season and he still can make things happen with his legs, but he'd merely be a low-end QB2 if he's traded and winds up starting for another organization in 2021.

  • Kenny Golladay A Strong Candidate For Franchise Tag Show More

    Detroit Lions impending free-agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay is a prime candidate to be slapped with the franchise tag in the coming weeks if the two sides can't reach a long-term contract extension, along with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. Golladay played in only five games due to injury in 2020, posting 338 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 20 receptions. But he had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in the two seasons prior, including an NFL-high 11 touchdowns in his Pro Bowl season in 2019. The 27-year-old has averaged 16.8 yards per catch in his four-year career in Detroit, which is the second-highest mark in the league since he entered the league in 2017. If healthy, Golladay has WR1 upside, but he'll be taking throws from Jared Goff instead of Matthew Stafford if he remains in Detroit in 2021 and beyond.
