Kevin Szafraniec looks at the 12 biggest risers in redraft ADP since the beginning of the preseason and breaks down whether fantasy managers should be buying or selling them at their current prices. As the preseason heats up every year, we see training camp buzz lead to ADP explosions across fantasy football. While there are generally legitimate reasons for the buzz, sometimes the hype goes…...
Blair Andrews explores the metrics that best predict running back outperformance. The RB fantasy market is exploitable, if we know where to look. My last article detailed the key wide receiver metrics you need to chase to beat ADP — that is, to return an above-average win rate. In a 12-team league, every team can expect to win about 8.3% of the time, as a…...
Earlier this month, Shawn Siegele explained why you need to Win the Next War at RB. In the first installment of the 2025 Zero RB Candidates Countdown, he helps you catch a tidal wave of youth at the all-important position. The Zero RB list has been helping RotoViz writers and users to high finishes in Main Events and tournament championships in best ball. A quick look at past…...
If you’re following along, you’ve read about the newest fantasy football platform for diehard fans like you, Franchise League Football. If not, find an introduction here. In FLF, we start with a seasoned roster of 14 players . . . and their contracts. Last week, I broke down the keep/drop decisions I needed to make prior to our preseason auction. Everyone in the league must…...
Kevin Szafraniec explains why drawing a late slot in the draft order gives fantasy managers an ideal opportunity to build a firm foundation in 2025 redraft leagues while also presenting some tough decisions as their drafts progress. Each passing year brings fantasy managers a new ADP landscape to navigate in their redraft leagues. While there are generally some tactics that carry over year over year,…...
Kevin Szafraniec explains how fantasy managers who draw a mid-round draft slot in their redraft leagues can build a super team by adding elite talent at the onesie positions. Each passing year brings fantasy managers a new ADP landscape to navigate in their redraft leagues. While there are generally some tactics that carry over year over year, an ever-evolving player pool guarantees that no two…...
Kevin Szafraniec details the strategies that fantasy managers who draw an early draft slot in their redraft leagues should implement in order to bring home championships in 2025. Each passing year brings fantasy managers a new ADP landscape to navigate in their redraft leagues. While there are generally some tactics that carry over year-over-year, an ever-evolving player pool guarantees that no two seasons will ever…...
We’ve seen Day 3 running backs move up the draft boards, and some with good reason. Day 3 running backs have been relatively helpful over the past few seasons, especially in their first two seasons. We saw Bucky Irving, Chase Brown, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. hit last season, with Isiah Pacheco, Chuba Hubbard, and Kyren Williams being other notables (though Hubbard broke out in Year…...
Shawn Siegele updates the Big Gorilla Blueprint with mega-tiers, tiers, 23 priority targets, and player updates. With one week of the preseason under our belts and draft season going in earnest, it’s time for an update to the redraft plan. In this edition, we’ll discuss movement in the rankings and how to create the most upside in current drafts. Today’s exercise is best used in…...
Kevin Szafraniec examines the 2025 ADP landscape and highlights players at each position who can be selected in the final round of drafts and have the potential to become weekly starters in 2025 redraft lineups. There is no feeling quite like hitting on a player in the late rounds who ends up becoming a staple in your weekly starting lineup. Given that redraft leagues offer…...
Last week, Renee introduced the Franchise League Football format of dynasty fantasy football (FLF). Today she digs deeper into the strategy of managing a team. Once your league is full, the commissioner will “activate” the preseason, which means the starting 14-man rosters will be randomly assigned to each fantasy GM. We employ an algorithm that draws on one of 10 realistic contract databases to assign…...
Kevin Szafraniec highlights 12 players who represent landmines for redraft rosters at almost any cost, plus 13 other players who aren’t far behind them. It always feels better to be an optimist than a pessimist. But sometimes there is no helping a bad situation. Unfortunately, this can apply to fantasy football, or more specifically, fantasy football ADP. The rise of best ball has allowed us…...
What would you pay for a young, supercharged version of Aaron Jones, especially if he labored for one of the NFL’s best offenses? For years, I’ve forced myself to avoid Zero RB hits during their follow-up seasons. After all, taking the next step and becoming a 350-point sensation requires a mix of attributes that is incredibly difficult to deliver. Of course, it’s always tempting to…...
If you think you fully understand the importance of fantasy efficiency, think again. Fantasy football doesn’t have to be difficult. We love digging into all the advanced metrics, refining our models, and finding tiny edges using new data sources. But sometimes the old standbys still give you the best bang for your buck. We’ve advocated using win rates to evaluate player seasons for several years…...
Kevin Szafraniec discusses why the unique format of FastDraft’s Flex 4 contest has quickly become one of his favorite ways to play best ball. The tournament’s innovative structure leads to unique strategies to exploit the contest’s early edges. As a fantasy manager who is always looking for fresh and exciting ways to play the game I love, the Flex 4 contest on the FastDraft app…...
Shawn Siegele argues that occasionally simple rules of thumb end up not being so simple. Understanding the trajectory for players as they move through the NFL can be very important. That’s one of the reasons I so frequently reference Blair’s groundbreaking WR age series. It’s also helpful to understand the role that draft slot plays in establishing a baseline for a player’s likely usage. While…...
In the final installment of Kevin Szafraniec’s 2025 team preview series, he discusses what the chances are for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to reclaim their spot as one of the NFL’s elite offenses and which players could be the biggest fantasy winners in the latest iteration of Kansas City’s offensive evolution. It feels like it has been longer than two seasons since we saw…...
Shawn Siegele examines a veteran star with perhaps the most bizarre ADP in all of fantasy. Stefon Diggs entered the NFL as probably the most hyped RotoViz sleeper in the site’s history, and he proceeded to play quite well during his first five seasons. He averaged over 200 points per season from 2016 to 2019 and constantly flirted with WR1 status. This was still a…...
Kevin Szafraniec breaks down how the arrival of Ben Johnson in Chicago will alter the Bears’ approach in 2025 and explains why it may be wise to temper expectations for a wholesale turnaround from Caleb Williams and company in Year 1. When it comes to coaching hires, Chicago’s signing of former Lions’ offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was about as big as they get. Last offseason,…...
We’ve examined six small gap backfields in two previous articles, including three with rookies adding to the uncertainty and the one team with three rushers inside the top 150 in ADP. In the past, we’ve looked at big-gap and small-gap running backs to identify undervalued players based on their ADP. The idea comes from Jack Miller’s research on the win and hit rates for big or…...
