Zach Ertz is a hot tight end name recently. He’s currently listed as TE7 in the Best Ball ADP App and TE6 in the Dynasty ADP App. Here are the three important statistics you need to know before investing in him for 2016 and beyond. He Should Score More TDs Over the last two seasons, Ertz has compiled 201 targets and scored just five touchdowns…....

FF Accounting: NFC West Coaching Trends

Twenty-one NFL teams have hired a new head coach since 2013. Coaches dictate how the players we draft are utilized, yet they turn over more than a rotisserie chicken. What this series of posts aims to do is ignore the historical trends of a particular team and instead focus on the offensive tendencies of specific coaching staffs across the NFL…....

Charles Sims is an All-Profit MFL10 Pick

There is a ton of running back value around the seventh and eighth round in current MFL10 ADP. While I can at least understand logic that has kept Ryan Mathews and Jay Ajayi on the board until 30 other RBs have gone (concerns about draft acquisitions, mostly), there is one RB coming off the board just behind those two that looks unjustifiably and inarguably mispriced. The Rundown Charles Sims just came in at…...

How To Make the Fantasy Efficiency App Work for You

Over the next few weeks at RotoViz, we’ll be diving a little deeper into the apps on the site. You may already find these tools interesting and useful, but the aim of this series is to draw a clear line between the information you can glean from them and being a better fantasy footballer. In other words, how you can make the apps work for…...

What If the Colts Draft C.J. Prosise?

We’ve been doing some speculative rookie landing spot discussions around here lately, and contemplating what the implications of these dream scenarios would be for rookie dynasty drafts. Today I’m going to look at C.J. Prosise to the Colts. The Team Almost certain to take a running back in the draft, the Colts are perhaps the single best landing spot for a rookie runner. Frank Gore‘s workload was among the most valuable…...

The 7 Best Landing Spots for Rookie Running Backs

Yesterday our eminently courageous chieftain detailed the seven best landing spots for rookie wide receivers. As he noted, instant opportunity provides potential for a more rapidly appreciating asset. The same could be said for rookie running backs. Opportunity, and the statistics that come with it, are often mistaken for talent. Even a player like Jeremy Langford, whose talent/efficiency many have been down on this off-season, saw a significant rise…...

The Tight End Our Sim Scores App Says is Dramatically Undervalued

I’ve been going through the Sim Scores Apps recently and comparing them to ADP. Recently I came across a tight end that is a ridiculous value relative to the types of comps his 2015 season elicits. According to the TE Sim Scores App, the 25 closest TE seasons since 2000 (weighing statistical measures and age) to Gary Barnidge‘s 2015 are as follows. Eighteen of those…...

This Young Receiver Might be Top 5 All Time at the Position

The wide receiver position in the NFL is ridiculously stacked right now. We know this. But did you know that there is a receiver with numbers so good, at such a young age, that he is among the five greatest players to ever play the position in the history of the NFL?…...

Identifying 2016’s Devonta Freeman

I was on the RotoViz Mailbag Free Agent Extravaganza last week where host Jeremy Hardt and I got a question about Doug Martin‘s re-signing, and what it meant for both his value, and the value of Charles Sims. I offered that I see the situation playing out much like 2015 in Tampa, but that I’d prefer Sims in that case, “because that’s how you back into a Devonta Freeman.” What I…...

Everything You Need to Know About Drafting DeMarco Murray in 2016

Recently, my colleague Anthony Amico argued DeMarco Murray will be an RB1 in 2016. Unfortunately, I have to disagree. Anthony argued it would be very easy to see Murray compiling a massive workload with the Titans, that Murray is a good receiver, and that Marcus Mariota will have a positive impact on Murray’s rushing efficiency. Let’s start on the rushing side. Where Are the Carries? First of all, let’s compare…...
