Tout Wars Notebook: Maikel Franco Booming for a Buck

It was a pleasure and a privilege to be invited back to this year’s Tout Wars Mixed Auction. Some highlights from this year at my table included seeing the guy who drafted Maikel Franco below for the first time in too long, and getting to watch Todd Zola work up close as an auctioneer. He is a very entertaining guy who should be hosting game shows. I wish I had more time to spend with Ray Flowers and Gene McCaffrey. Of course, getting to honor the memory of my dear friend Lawr Michaels as part of the group was the biggest…

No rookie from the NFL Draft will be a first round fantasy selection this upcoming season. So now I can issue my first version of the one-man mock draft in advance of the upcoming season, with three rounds with a lean toward PPR formats.Can’t wait for next fantasy football season?

Fantasy Analysis: The Patriots without Gronkowski, Seahawks May Lose Baldwin?

The retirement of Rob Gronkowski does put some ease on us when ranking or drafting tight ends for the 2019 season. We will not struggle to rate him based on the fact that he is coming off a disappointing season, yet there would always be the possibility that he could bounce back, and the position is not top-heavy with high-quality selections. There will be enough challenging decisions at the position, and now Gronk won’t be part of that frustrating mix.Can’t wait for next fantasy football season? You don’t have to! …

Yes, there are still some decent free agents available, and the NFL Draft is ahead of us. At this point, though, how does it look offensively for the teams that saw significant free agent skill position players change their address and uniforms?
