Shawn Siegele takes you through a recent devy auction and helps you find exploitable opportunities with the RotoViz devy rankings.

One of my favorite parts of a RotoViz subscription is getting the excellent devy and college football content from Travis May, Matt Wispe, and Stefan Lako. With Curtis Patrick adding his devy rankings as well, you have four of the best CFB fantasy minds helping you craft your squads.

Our in-progress Devy Preview Series helps get you ready for both devy drafts and CFB fantasy.

At RotoViz we recommend building the Permanent Championship Window. Recently I drafted a RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty Startup with Monty Phan where we positioned the team to win now and win always. Then Blair Andrews and I participated in an RV TriFlex startup where we traded down 11 times and accrued 22 picks in the 2022 rookie draft. Blair explained why this is actually a “win now” approach.

But sometimes you find yourself in a situation where an even more extreme plan is required. In developmental dynasty leagues, building an unstoppable juggernaut starts with a deep foundation in the college ranks. In the same way that rebuilding owners want to acquire a lot of rookie picks, devy participants need to generate a deep pool of college players. After participating in a recent dispersal auction, I’d picked up 12 slots to use in the devy auction.

Today I’ll help you through a devy auction, compare it to my recent devy draft, and show you how the RotoViz devy rankings can set you up for a whole generation of titles.
