Super Deep Fantasy Sleepers: Chicago Bears

The RotoViz team is hard at work digging deep to uncover the most buried and overlooked sleepers for all 32 teams in the fantasy football landscape…....

Chase The Targets: DeVante Parker is Finally a Bargain

DeVante Parker has been overdrafted for years now, and his underperformance has made him completely toxic to some owners. “Ugh, I drafted him last year and he killed my team. Never again!” is a common refrain from recovering Parkerites. Whether you’ve cursed his name in the past or not though, now is the time to buy, as the price finally matches the potential…....

This Is Fine: The Damage Of Early Injuries To Your Best Ball Team

“So, just how screwed am I?” That’s a question you’re asking yourself if you had been drafting Hunter Henry in your best ball drafts. It’s a question you asked yourself frequently last year if you owned players like Julian Edelman, Spencer Ware, Andrew Luck, or Cameron Meredith. You know your team can overcome an injury if the rest of your guys ball out, but how…...

The Tight End Model Predicts the Stars And Busts of 2018

Tight ends typically take time to develop. Taking the wrong TE in a rookie draft is not only a waste of a pick, but can clog a roster spot for years as you wait for production that never materializes. Missing on a TE can be a costly mistake. Fortunately, we have a secret weapon here at RotoViz, one that was able to predict busts with…...

Rookie Faceoff: Draft Ronald Jones Over Royce Freeman

Coffee or tea? Boxers or briefs? PPR or Standard? These are the age-old debates that define us. Over the coming weeks, our writers will add a few more to this list. That’s right — it’s rap-battle season…....

Rookie Faceoff: Draft Rashaad Penny Over Derrius Guice

Coffee or tea? Boxers or briefs? PPR or Standard? These are the age-old debates that define us. Over the coming weeks, our writers will add a few more to this list. That’s right — it’s rap-battle season…....

The Undervalued Young Vet Available Late in Dynasty Startups

With the NFL draft completed, dynasty startup season is in full swing. Back in February, the RotoViz writers discussed our various startup strategies and debated the merits of young sleepers versus older veterans, the value of year one production, and the concept of balancing upside with safety. While there are a number of viable approaches to take, it’s rare to participate in a startup that…...

Post-Draft Risers: Time To Buy Lamar Miller

When updating my rankings after the NFL draft, the biggest risers were obvious. Highly-drafted rookies who landed in situations where they’re expected to see lots of opportunity, such as Rashaad Penny, immediately became more valuable. But so too did players who dodged the bullet of extra competition being added. While Marlon Mack and Kenyan Drake have both been the focus of post-draft hype, Lamar Miller…...

The End Of Draft Flier That Can Help You Win Your League

Throughout the offseason, RotoViz writers will be sharing with you our favorite picks in each round of fantasy drafts. This is my pick available at the end of drafts that looks like he could secure a big role…....

Nyheim Hines Begins Journey from Sleeper to League Winner

Nyheim Hines was drafted 104th overall by the Indianapolis Colts. Heading into the draft, Hines was ranked 10th in the RotoViz Scouting index and now has been selected as the ninth running back off the board…....

2018 NFL Draft Reaction: Josh Rosen Goes to the Cardinals

Josh Rosen was drafted 10th overall by the Arizona Cardinals after they traded up from the 15th pick. Rosen was the second overall QB in the RotoViz Scouting Index, but slid down the board to be the fourth QB selected…....

2018 NFL Draft Reaction: Josh Allen Goes to the Bills

Josh Allen was drafted seventh overall by the Buffalo Bills. Allen was the fourth overall QB in the RotoViz Scouting Index but was drafted as the third quarterback off the board, ahead of the highly regarded Josh Rosen. Allen lands on a team that is perhaps the best quarterback destination from a playing-time perspective. The Bills traded away their former starter Tyrod Taylor and signed A.J. McCarron to…...

2018 NFL Draft Reaction: Sam Darnold Goes to the Jets

Sam Darnold was drafted second overall by the New York Jets. Darnold was the top overall QB in the RotoViz Scouting Index. He’ll go to a Jets team that signed two quarterbacks during the offseason, bringing back Josh McCown and adding Teddy Bridgewater. Darnold will have a chance to start immediately if the Jets decide he’s ready, or sit behind McCown to start the season as…...

The 13th Round Pick That Can Help You Win Your League

Throughout the offseason, RotoViz writers will be sharing with you our favorite picks in each round of fantasy drafts. This is my pick in the 13th round that looks like a great value at his current ADP…....
