Using the RotoViz Tools to Break Down the Conference Championship Games

Shawn Siegele uses the RotoViz tools to break down the AFC and NFC Championship games.

The wide variety of playoff contests has added another layer of excitement over the last several weeks. Our preferred approach in early Underdog leagues was to load up with 49ers/Bengals rosters, and those teams have both advanced at much more palatable prices than the Chiefs and Eagles. If Tee Higgins hadn’t busted so spectacularly, the advance rate for those squads would have been even better. My personal rosters are now fairly balanced between Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, and Brock Purdy, which isn’t something I expected to be able to accomplish with Philadelphia.

In FFPC contests, we worked through ways to create leverage and upside by playing various scenarios preferred by the tools. The teams I profiled a week ago are still looking good, and the Playoff 2 Contest has gone even better. Ben Gretch and I discussed the roller coaster ride and the AFC Championship game in this week’s Stealing Bananas.

Having enjoyed putting those pieces together, I wanted to jump back in with a look at the Conference Championship matchups through the lens of the RotoViz tools.

After Adding D’Onta Foreman, the Bears Have a Fantasy Backfield That’s Dangerous in More Ways Than One

Shawn Siegele March 17, 2023

The Chicago Bears have signed D’Onta Foreman to a one-year, $3 million contract. He’ll be paired with 2022 breakout Khalil Herbert to form a cheap and explosive backfield. Fresh off of their fleecing of the Carolina Panthers in the trade market, the Bears may have gotten the better of them at RB as well. While Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard should form a good lighting-and-lightning…...

Superflex Sleeper? Baker Mayfield Signs With Tampa to the Chagrin of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

Shawn Siegele March 15, 2023

The Tampa Buccaneers have reportedly signed Baker Mayfield to a one-year $8.5 million contract with $4.5 million guaranteed. He’ll likely compete with Kyle Trask to be the starting quarterback as Tampa sets themselves up for an early pick in 2024. The Cleveland Browns selected Mayfield No. 1 overall in the 2018 draft but eventually soured on him after an injury-plagued 2021 season. They traded him…...

The Denver Broncos have reportedly signed Samaje Perine to a two-year, $7.5 million contract.

Few backs were mentioned more frequently than Samaje Perine on Stealing Bananas last year. The Bengals backup also became a weekly mention in the Zero RB Watch List, as Joe…...
