It’s now or never ladies and gentlemen. Week 11 is upon us and that can only mean one thing: trade deadlines. You have 10 weeks of NFL football to reflect on, and now you need to make your final moves as you push onward towards the playoffs. This late in the season, you should have a good idea of how your team looks for the fantasy…...

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve found the start of the NBA DFS season profitable. And if you haven’t, nothing says “turn your luck around” like Friday the 13th right? In all seriousness, the data pool for NBA has only gotten larger in the past week, and I think now we can start making better use of defense versus position statistics, as well as some of the…...

Much like Week 8, Week 9 ended up being a pretty poor week for finding difference-making streamers. The four quarterbacks who managed to separate themselves from the pack were Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Marcus Mariota, and Drew Brees. All four of them were probably owned in most leagues. The one good piece of news, however, is that QB performance was relatively flat after that, and if you played…...

I’m starting to get on a bit of a roll here. I went into Monday Night with the potential to earn a big cash, and ended up profitable again here in Week 9. Let’s get into the recap. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1,000 Current Total: $1,611.90 Again, I was able to profit in both cash and GPPs, albeit to a lesser extent than last week. I think I…...

You spent months planning in the off-season. You toiled over spreadsheets and printouts hoping to draft a team of destiny. Then you spent the last nine weeks trying to make waiver pickups and trades to beat your opponents. All of that may come down to this: the trade deadline. As we get into Week 10, many league trade deadlines are approaching, which means now is the…...

There are 10 games on tap for tonight, and quite a few different spots to consider, including a couple of projected blowouts. How you handle potential blowouts will be key to determining your fantasy success. Bill Monighetti of Fantasy Labs gives a great overview of how to handle blowouts, and shows that while being a heavy favorite may give a player an increased floor, it…...

Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for quarterback streaming. Very few potential streamers cracked the top 12 QBs, and the top of the charts was dominated by Drew Brees and Eli Manning, who combined for 13 TD passes. They were obviously outlier performances, but they absolutely sank any streaming strategy if you faced them. Let’s get to the recap. Week 8 Recap Streamer of the Week: 17.3 SOTW Total: 126.88 Remember…...

I thought this was going to be the week I won a GPP. As you’ll see below, Week 8 was my best week by far, and I think I may be finally getting the hang of this whole DFS thing. I’m excited to present my results. Let’s dive in. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $1,405.70 This was the first week I was able to…...

It was a somber weekend in the NFL. While Drew Brees and Eli Manning were playing Tecmo Bowl in the Bayou, injuries were mounting up around the league. We lost the best running back in the NFL (again) to an ACL tear. Matt Forte may miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain. Steve Smith had his season, and perhaps his career, ended by an Achilles tear, and there were many more…....

There are so many differences between the NFL and NBA seasons. The most obvious from a DFS perspective is simply time. We have all week to prepare for football. The NBA is much faster, and I think for the average Joe working a nine to five, it is often difficult to research sufficiently for the upcoming slate of games. But have no fear!…...

Week 7 was a mixed week for streaming. There were some waiver wire options that performed very well (as we’ll talk about shortly), but the top QBs still did their job for the most part. Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, and Andrew Luck all had great fantasy days, and Carson Palmer was still a top 12 option. However, there was definitely an edge that could have been gained from reading this…...

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the black! This was a great week for me on my DFS venture, and it had the potential to be a monster week with some better decision making. Let’s talk about the week that was on FanDuel. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $1003.70 If the season ended right now, you and I could meet at your local fast food…...

So far in the NBA DFS Primer series, I’ve been able to go through some of the basics, positional value, and lineup construction. It is also important also to know how to do your research to create great lineups and win some cash. Minutes, season averages, and defense-versus-position are all standard tools. Additionally, the NBA is very far ahead of other football in terms of advanced…...

Now that you’re up to speed on the basics of NBA DFS, as well as what positions are important for success, it is finally time for us to talk about lineup construction. I think that for many fantasy players, especially beginners, constructing a quality lineup looks a lot easier than it actually is. I think that this installment of the RotoViz NBA DFS Primer will…...

Now that you know the basics to playing NBA DFS, let’s delve a little deeper. After all, that’s what we do here at RotoViz. Today I’d like to discuss the different NBA positions, and give some insight as to which ones you should pay up for, where you should look to save, and more. This should bring us one step closer to NBA dominance. What…...

It was a decent week for streaming, as many of the top scoring quarterbacks were either waiver pickups or fantasy backups. One thing to keep in mind while streaming is that as the season goes on, the quarterback pool will start to shrink, making it more difficult…....

Sometimes when you play DFS, you  have to be happy with just a minimal gain. That’s exactly what happened this week, as I thought my teams were a disaster pretty early in the day. Looks like we’ll have a lot to discuss today in the recap. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $914 The first thing that will probably stand out to you this week…...

That time of year has finally arrived. It is an annual tradition based in illogical thought, but it is impossible to not possess the feeling that you wasted your time preparing for this NFL season. This was the year you thought. You studied stats, you looked up trends, you purchased a RotoViz pass and read about 12,348 different articles (at least 10 percent of which…...

Streaming quarterbacks is a lot like when you’re in your 20’s and playing the field. Every time you go out to a bar or club, you see women and say to yourself “Thank goodness I’m single.” And then, after a few hours of striking out, you go home saying “Why am I still single!?”…...
