Elijah Holyfield

Elijah Holyfield, RB, UGA: Holyfield currently has an ADP in the early 30s. Meaning in a standard league he is getting taken in the beginning of the 3rd round of a startup devy draft or, if you are in a current devy league that allows more than 1 round of devy players, there is a good chance he is going much earlier than the third round. In a recent startup, that allowed 2 copies of each player, I selected Holyfield at the top of the second round at 2.02 and the second copy of Holyfield went at 2.09. I am slightly higher on Holyfield than his ADP in the early 30s. Holyfield has been slowly creeping up the draft board this summer. In July, on DLF, he went undrafted in one of their ADP devy drafts, which is about 50 picks. So his perceived value has definitely increased and I think it's going to skyrocket sooner rather than later for several reasons. This may be your only time to buy Holyfield at a decent price before he catapults to the top of the devy rankings.

Cal vs. Hawaii (Carlos Strickland)

The college football season kicks off 10pm eastern on August 26th. California will play Hawaii in Australia. Many college football fans will watch this game as it is the kickoff of a new season. For you fellow fantasy football developmental league owners there isn’t much to watch in this game.

About a week ago, the player I was most looking forward to watch in this game, #85 WR Carlos Strickland, announced his plans to transfer from Cal. Strickland is worth keeping an eye on but he will have to sit out the 2016 season after missing most of 2015 due to injury. He will have three seasons of eligibility beginning in 2017. Strickland has yet to declare where he will transfer.
