Kevin Szafraniec March 18, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec breaks down Jaylen Waddle’s fit in Denver after the Dolphins traded away their WR1 and 2026’s 111th selection to the Broncos for the 30th, 94th, and 130th overall picks in the upcoming draft.

Neil Dutton March 18, 2026

An era came to an end in Tampa Bay, with one of the greatest players in Buccaneers history waving goodbye to the team in free agency. Mike Evans is off to San Francisco on a three-year, $42m deal, joining an interesting list of players who have donned both 49ers and Bucs red.

Jaylen Warren Just Can’t Catch a Break: Examining Rico Dowdle’s Impact on the Pittsburgh Backfield

Kevin Szafraniec March 17, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec outlines the fantasy implications that Pittsburgh’s signing of Rico Dowdle in free agency will have on the Steelers’ backfield. Jaylen Warren truthers have been waiting for a chance to see him operate as Pittsburgh’s lead back ever since his second-year breakout in 2023. Unfortunately, the presence of 2022 first-rounder Najee Harris always overshadowed the former UDFA, even if the duo’s production suggested that…...

Kevin Szafraniec March 16, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec outlines what the Vikings’ signing of Kyler Murray means for the fantasy value of the mercurial quarterback and Minnesota’s receiving weapons. Following the unmitigated disaster that was the J.J. McCarthy experience, it was a given that the Vikings would be upgrading their quarterback room this offseason.

Harold Fannin’s Historic Rookie Season Was a Lone Bright Spot for the Browns, But Can He Build On His Success in Year 2?

Neil Dutton March 16, 2026

The 2025 NFL season is not one that many people linked to the Cleveland Browns will remember fondly. Well, maybe Myles Garrett, who set a new single-season mark for sacks, after all. But apart from him, not many people covered themselves in glory last season. Amid the wreckage of a campaign that saw head coach Kevin Stefanski lose his job, there was one bright spot,…...

Can Travis Etienne Help Elevate Kellen Moore’s Offense to the Next Level?

Kevin Szafraniec March 14, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec debates how much fantasy value Travis Etienne holds as part of Kellen Moore’s offense after signing with New Orleans in free agency. Following a career renaissance in 2025, Travis Etienne cashed in big in free agency, signing a four-year, $52.0M deal (per Spotrac) to join the Saints. Etienne owes much of his bounce-back to Jaguars head coach Liam Coen, who continues to prove…...

Does the Arrival of Malik Willis in Miami Spell Disaster for De’Von Achane’s Massive Receiving Workload?

Kevin Szafraniec March 14, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec outlines the positive and negative impact that Malik Willis can bring to Miami after the Dolphins signed the free-agent quarterback to be their 2026 starter. Rarely do we see developmental quarterbacks pan out at the NFL level. Therefore, it is understandable when fans and analysts remain skeptical of signal callers who string together impressive performances across a small sample. But in today’s QB-starved…...

What Became of the Likely Lad? Isaiah Likely Lands With the Giants

Neil Dutton March 13, 2026

As soon as the Baltimore Ravens surprisingly signed tight end Mark Andrews to a contract extension during the 2025 season, it was more likely than not that Isaiah Likely would be out the door in free agency. This came to pass, with the former Coastal Carolina TE signing a three-year pact with the New York Giants. Ironically, this move reunites him with head coach John Harbaugh,…...

Wan’Dale Robinson Provides Cam Ward With a Security Blanket for the Next Step in His NFL Evolution

Kevin Szafraniec March 12, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec breaks down whether Wan’Dale Robinson is up to the task of becoming Cam Ward’s WR1 after being signed by the Titans in free agency. It is difficult to imagine Cam Ward’s rookie year playing out much worse than it did. As expected, he had no shortage of opportunities to show off his arm talent while perpetually playing from behind with Tennessee’s patchwork offense…....

Can this Electric Young Wide Receiver Produce a Chris Godwin Level Explosion Now That the Path Is Clear?

Kevin Szafraniec March 10, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec debates whether the hype has gone too far for a young wide receiver who turned plenty of heads down the stretch during his rookie season. There was always a considerable amount of buzz surrounding Chris Godwin from the time he was drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft until he broke out as the overall WR2 in his third season. In the meantime, Godwin…...

Kevin Szafraniec breaks down the fantasy implications DJ Moore’s arrival will have in Buffalo following the Bills’ acquisition of the former Bears wideout. When previewing 2026’s free agent wide receivers back in January, it was pretty clear that Buffalo needed to upgrade their receiving corps: It’s time for the Bills to pony up and find a legitimate WR1 for Josh Allen. It is true that their…...

The Upcoming Rookie Class Is Breaking the Models, Part 3: The 2026 Wide Receiver Freak Score Leaderboard

Blair Andrews March 4, 2026

We’ve already explored the top running back and tight end athletes in the 2026 rookie class. In both groups we found players setting new records and forcing us to rethink both our models and our priors. But Freak Scores were designed first and foremost to find wide receiver profiles with an advantage in the red zone and around the goal line. The theory has always…...

The Upcoming Rookie Class Is Breaking the Models, Part 2: The 2026 Tight End Freak Score Leaderboard

Blair Andrews March 3, 2026

Last time, we looked at the freak athletes of the 2026 class at the running back position, including one prospect who literally forces us to rescale the metric (look for some updates on that front coming soon). No RB who ran at the combine has a Freak Score below 50 — no RB who participated was slower than 4.56 seconds in the 40-yard dash. And the…...

The Upcoming Rookie Class Is Breaking the Models: The 2026 Running Back Freak Score Leaderboard

Blair Andrews March 2, 2026

At RotoViz, we like to look at NFL prospects’ collegiate production as a foundational data point in making predictions. The best predictor of whether a player will succeed in the NFL is whether they succeeded in college. But it would be a mistake to think that size and speed don’t matter. Indeed, for a long time, we’ve relied on Freak Scores to find wide receiver…...

With the 2026 NFL Combine currently winding down, we find ourselves firmly in the heart of draft season.

Kevin Szafraniec breaks down the debut of one of the NFL’s hottest young rookies from 2025 and debates whether the growing hype will lead to fantasy championships in 2026.

Kevin Szafraniec February 27, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec outlines the superstar trajectory of a running back who underperformed his massive expectations in 2025 but still finds himself in position to join the fantasy elite as he heads into his second season. It wasn’t all that long ago when we were questioning Bijan Robinson’s ceiling after he failed to take over the NFL in Year 1. Seems silly now, right? But playing…...
