Henry Ruggs III - University of Alabama - 5'11" 188 lbs. - January 24, 1999 (21 years old)
SPEED, and not with Keanu. Ruggs can absolutely fly. Lace up his PF Flyers and let's go baby! Ain't no Dawgs catching him.
Absolutely a terror when he is working short crosses and slants. Anything that allows him to pull away and get into open space.
Does a good job working parallel or back to the QB when working on the intermediate or deeper crosses.
Breaks aren't overly sharp on slants. Can get delayed in his route trying to shake defender at the line.

Quarantine Day 28:
My life has been reduced to friends asking me if I've seen a T.V. show and me telling them, "No, I haven't seen that show." Then they tell me I should see that show and I say, "I'll add it to the list." But there is no list and I won't watch that show. Because I'll forget since I don't have a list. What a paradox! But if I somehow remember to watch that show, there better not be any surprise subtitles. If you're recommending a show that has subtitles, etiquette dictates that you disclose this subtitle stipulation in your recommendation. Don't be a heathen! People need to mentally prepare for what they're getting into. Like right now I'm about to share some 2020 dynasty football rankings with you, so I'll forewarn, there's reading involved and there's no audio book available just yet. Hopefully you'll still stick around for my top 80 wide receivers for 2020 PPR dynasty football:
Quarantine Day 27:
Hey all you cool cats and kittens. Did you see the story about the tiger at the Bronx Zoo that tested positive for coronavirus? Very sad. I blame Carole Baskin. Not just for the infection of this poor feline, but for the entire COVID debacle. Speaking of which, the CDC just released some new guidelines and in order to receive a COVID-19 test in the United States you must now meet at least one of these requirements:
a) Politician
b) Professional athlete (Major League Soccer doesn't count)
c) Movie star (Porn does count)
d) Valued tiger at the zoo
And if you check all four boxes the CDC even throws in a free roll of TP. So far only one man has cashed in on that free roll of one-ply: my preferred 2020 presidential candidate, Darren Waller. Anyway, here's my top 15 dynasty tight ends for 2020 fantasy football:
2020 NFL Mock Draft (No Trades)

Here is the final mock draft with no projected trades involved. This is less about what teams SHOULD do and more about what these GM's ARE LIKELY to do based on prior draft history. Hit up the comments section below and let me know what you think!
Will 2020 Be Calvin Ridley’s True Breakout Year?
April 8, 2020 | Fantasy Football Targets | 2 Commentsby: MB
Tuesday was the big unveiling of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' new uniforms officially wiping the slate clean before the Tom Brady era, or whatever. I'll give Tampa credit, these look like actual NFL uniforms as opposed to the knockoff XFL jerseys that they had been rocking for the past few years. I suppose that you could say that these new uniforms have a similar feel to golden era of Tampa Bay football in the late 90's and early 00's. The new uniforms are not that original though. They look like a hybrid of the Houston Texans' and the Atlanta Falcons' jerseys.
I don't think that the uniforms are the only similarity that there will be with the Bucs and Falcons this year. In fact, I think the Falcons could have a breakout receiver similar to what the Bucs had with Chris Godwin. And that receiver is none other than Calvin Ridley.
Quarantine Invitational: Devy Draft Special
April 7, 2020 | Dynasty League Strategy, Dynasty Leagues |by: al_FF_red
While we are all cooped up, I thought it would be a fun idea to get some of the awesome fantasy football writers I've met this past season in a league with a few of my choice competitors from home leagues. The basics of the league are: 12 team, superflex, PPR format with a few additional scoring wrinkles such as a quarter point-per-first-down, TE premium, some yardage bonuses and a little negative for QB sacks. Senior editor Razzball_MB wrote a nice review of the pro draft in an article earlier this week. SPOILER: He likes my team in year 1. DOUBLE SPOILER: We may not have a year 1... but, I digress.
Quarantine Day 25:
I made a fire in the yard today while pondering my 2020 dynasty rankings. As I gazed into the flames, a series of vivid images began to appear. The Lord of Light was sending me a divine message about dynasty quarterbacks. Or maybe the mushrooms I had eaten were starting to kick in, hard to say. Either way, a life-size image of Kyler Murray arose from the blazing inferno. The meaning was clear, this dull and uneventful 20th year after 2000 will forever be know as the year of Kyler, and nothing else. Anyway, here's my top 20 dynasty quarterbacks for 2020 fantasy football:
Quarantine Invitational: 12-Team Superflex PPR Devy Dynasty Draft Review
April 5, 2020 | Dynasty Leagues | 2 Commentsby: MB
Weeks or months of boredom can make a person do crazy things. These crazy things can include making a commitment that could easy last a half of a decade or more. Hey, it’s a good way to abstain from making a commitment that could last 18 years by making a quarantine baby. It’s all about give and take. And trust me, there is no bigger turnoff to your quarantine partner than doing a slow dynasty draft in late March and early April when kick off is still 5 months away. So it seems that 12 of us chose wisely by participating in the Quarantine Invitational.
This league was put together by Razzball’s own Al_FF_red (you probably know him as Boof). He reached out to 5 other writers that he is fans of or friends with to participate. This group makes up the Touts division. There is also the Doubts division. This division is made up of Boof’s pals who he probably refers to as fans. The Doubts division is made up of some sharp drafters who are also some pretty funny dudes, so there will be no discounting of their intelligence.
Since you're quarantined and I have your undivided attention, let's talk about some college running backs that appear to have what it takes to make an impact on your devy roster. In a "devy" league, short for developmental, managers can select players who are still in college (or high school) and stash them on a separate, inactive roster until they are drafted into the NFL.
For the devy manager, there is truly no offseason as we must take the months with no NFL to update our devy ranks and prepare to dig deep and draft some unknown lottery tickets hoping that you can pick up the next Jonathan Taylor or CeeDee Lamb before your league mates even know their name.
Quarantine Day 22:
Yesterday was my girlfriend's birthday. To answer your first question, yes, she is imaginary. But I still treated her to a special quarantine walk outside where we foraged for berries and I let her check the beaver traps. Even busted out a nice can of Spam for dinner. The good stuff, only 6 months past expiration. She was especially excited when I told her about my mock draft of players who haven't been drafted into the NFL yet, for a fake football league that doesn't exist and will never be played out. Best. Quarantine. Birthday. Ever.
So last week I gave you my dynasty rookie PPR mock draft recap where I acknowledged the mostly-meaningless nature of a pre-NFL draft rookie mock. But we have nothing better to do, so this week's version was a 10-team, 4-round dynasty rookie mock draft for PPR, superflex leagues:
Justin Jefferson - Louisiana State University - 6'1" 202 lbs. - January 16, 1999 (21 years old)
- Instinctual downfield threat.
- Good fake step to get past DBs.
- Times his acceleration well to create separation.
- Locates the ball well in the air and great body control to adjust.
- Uses hands well and times his body adjustment to clear space at the point of reception.
Quarantine Day 20:
Time is a flat circle. A circle which begins to look like an octagon after 20 days of solitude in my underground virus bunker. The eight points represent the number of times per hour that I breakdown crying divided how many days I've been out of toilet paper. I've been spending my days deep in philosophical and metaphysical discussion with my new best friend, a football by the name of Wilstoner. The football's a real free thinker. On the topic of free thinking, I gave you my top 20 and top 40 dynasty wide receivers for 2020 fantasy football a week or two back. Or maybe it was a month or two back, I don't even know anymore. This quarantine time octagon has me all mixed up. Anyway, here's my top 60 dynasty wide receivers for 2020 fantasy football co-authored by Wilstoner the football:
