My Fantasy League MFL10 best ball leagues are finally underway, and our Best Ball ADP App now has more than 100 drafts to derive average draft positions from. That means we can now start to identify some bargains, so let’s do it: Here are four wide receivers who are too cheap in MFL10s and need to be staples on your teams. Jeremy Maclin, ADP: 45.12…...

Recently, Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim was asked if soon-to-be sophomore wide receiver J.J. Nelson’s role could grow. His response: “Oh man, there’s no question.“…...

Our final pre-combine edition of the RotoViz Scouting Index, or RSI, is out. That means it’s time for updates on the 2016 quarterback class. While some measurements have started to come in for certain positions, the combine has yet to begin in earnest. Let’s take stock of where the QBs stand now, in this pre-combine world. First, here are the results: QB TIMES RANKED AVE…...

Two years ago Ryan Rouillard provided us with the RotoViz Guide to the NFL Scouting Combine. We’re bringing it back this year with the top eight things to root for at the 2016 NFL combine. Let’s jump right in. 1) Hope Laquon Treadwell Doesn’t Run the Forty… At All It’s recently been reported that Treadwell doesn’t intend to run the forty yard dash at the…...

Recently, a pair of film-based evaluations of wide receiver prospects Laquon Treadwell and Sterling Shepard caught my eye. ProFootballFocus and NFL.com’s Matt Harmon both seem to agree that Shepard is great while they seem to disagree drastically on Treadwell…....

Zero RB is a dominant redraft league draft strategy. But it’s also more than that. Its core goal of creating a dominant team by embracing antifragility at running back doesn’t have to stop after the draft, and it doesn’t just apply to redraft formats. You can also apply it to dynasty formats and, right now, before free agency and the draft is the perfect time…....

Dear Jaelen Strong Owners, I know this is the last thing you want to hear, and you’re the people least likely to believe it, but you need to trade Strong while you still can. This is a Cody Latimer situation all over again. Sell, sell, sell. More Optimism Than Production Much like I did with Latimer, I’m going to look at Strong’s draft position and production. To do so, I’ll…...

With the publication of the newest RotoViz Scouting Index, I’m here to update you on everything you need to know about the 2016 QB class. We’ve got updates on Carson Wentz, commentary on Jared Goff being labelled a system QB, and more. Here are the results of the most recent RSI: I said in the first edition of this piece that I would like for Wentz to move into third…...

This post is part of a series of articles where various RotoViz writers name their favorite buy low for dynasty fantasy football, with a look at the 2016 NFL season and beyond. At the conclusion of the series, the authors will get together to rank the various nominations in one final post. In this installment, Justin Winn discusses his pick, Dion Lewis. Let’s start with the…...

With the publication of the newest RotoViz Scouting Index, I’m here to update you on everything you need to know about the 2016 QB class. We’ve got updates on Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Christian Hackenberg, and a rant on Vernon Adams. Here are the results of the most recent RSI: Quick hits: Last time I applauded the scouts for having Goff ahead of Paxton Lynch, but I expressed concern they…...

In the lead-up to the NFL draft we’ve been monitoring scouting grades with the RotoViz Scouting Index. Every time we publish a new iteration of the RSI, I’ll publish a new iteration of this piece wherein I look at the changes and takeaways for the 2016 QB Class, and lay out where I agree and disagree with the scouts…....

The Oklahoma Sooners will face the undefeated Clemson Tigers in the Orange Bowl on Thursday Dec. 31st to determine who gets to play in the National Championship. If there’s one player to watch in that matchup it’s Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield…....

When the Memphis Tigers go up against the Auburn Tigers in the Birmingham Bowl on Wednesday Dec. 30th all eyes will be on Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch: Possibly the best QB in the 2016 class and possibly the first QB to be drafted. But just how good is he? Passing Efficiency When evaluating a prospect at any offensive position I always start with their age as it…...

On Tuesday Dec. 29th, the California Golden Bears will go against the Air Force Falcons in the Armed Forces Bowl. If there were only one reason to watch this game, it would be Cal’s quarterback: Jared Goff. Goff is currently the top-rated QB in the RotoViz Scouting Index. Many see him as the top QB in this class, and almost everyone has him in their top…...

Recently, I argued that Cam Newton is all upside, a true bargain at his ADP. Then Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL, and now he’s going to miss the whole season. Welp. I say welp, but really I still think Cam Newton is a bargain despite Benjamin’s injury. In fact I think he’s a bigger bargain because of it. Really, most of my original argument for Newton still holds…....

I don’t think I published anything about Emmanuel Sanders last offseason, but trust me when I say I talked a lot of crap about him. Most of that revolved around him being worse than Eric Decker, never having a game with more than 100 receiving yards or multiple touchdowns, and generally not being very efficient despite playing with a quality quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger. Then he finished the…...

Last offseason I identified seven big-bodied wide receivers to target in the late rounds of drafts. As expected, most were complete whiffs.[1]I explicitly excluded Brandon LaFell because I am an idiot sometimes. But I also managed to identify Brian Quick, who seemed to be on pace to breakout before a shoulder injury, Charles Johnson, as well as Kenny Britt, who had a respectable 748 receiving yards. Overall, I think…...

Last season LeSean McCoy finished as the 12th overall running back in PPR formats after being a consensus top three pick. This year McCoy is being drafted as the RB10. Drafters are betting on McCoy to rebound, but should they? Opportunity rules over all else at the RB position. McCoy seems bound to get a lot of touches in Buffalo. But his opportunity almost certainly won’t be…...

According to both our own Best Ball ADP App and Fantasy Football Calculator’s ADP, Cam Newton is being drafted as the seventh quarterback off the board, just a few picks before Matt Ryan. I’m not sure I would draft Newton ahead of any of the QBs with a higher ADP, but I am sure that I love his value. At that price, Cam Newton is all upside.  Price and…...

In every redraft ADP list I’ve seen this season Andrew Luck is being drafted before Aaron Rodgers. Let’s stop the madness. Rodgers should clearly be the first quarterback drafted in 2015. Why Is Luck Being Drafted Ahead of Rodgers? The most obvious answer to that question that I can think of: He outscored Rodgers last season. On one hand, that seems perfectly reasonable. On the other, we all…...
