This Advanced Wide Receiver Opportunity Metric Is Still Undervalued: 3 Second-Year Breakout Candidates and a Sneaky Veteran Who Can Give You a Massive Edge in Best Ball Drafts

A cornerstone of RotoViz drafting strategy is using data to assist in selecting young players before they break out. Players vastly outperforming their draft cost is the key to winning in fantasy football. The ability to consistently earn targets is a foundational skill for wide receivers. Despite consensus agreement on the importance of targets for wide receivers, drafters often ignore target earning ability when it…...

How to Take Down Underdog’s Week 10 Battle Royale Contests

Best ball season does not have to end (ever). After we are done with the seasonal best ball, daily best ball contests are arguably even more fun to play.

The High Ceiling Potential Monsters to Draft if You Miss out on the Top Five

At this stage of the draft season, the first sweat after you join the draft lobby is all too familiar. Will Loki bless us with a draft slot that allows us to select a member of the Power 5?

How to Win the FFPC Best Ball Tournament, Part 2

I’ve written a lot about best ball and structure this summer. I thoroughly examined how the field built teams in Underdog’s BBMII and then how to exploit those tendencies using Zero RB, Anchor RB, and Hyperfragile. What’s strange is that I have written nothing about an overall approach to attacking the tournament I actually won last year in the FFPC Best Ball Tournament. Seems like…...

Deshaun Watson Suspension: How to Play it

Deshaun Watson is accused of sexually assaulting 24 women. Many of the details are disgusting. It feels odd to be writing about him purely through the lens of fantasy football in the face of such allegations. However, we are playing a game of numbers based on NFL outcomes with money on the line. Therefore, a thorough understanding of how he impacts the fantasy landscape is…...

The Tight Ends Poised to Smash in the FFPC and Beyond

Your tight end strategy is one of the defining pillars of a draft. It is arguably the most important decision you will ever make (in fantasy football). Like quarterback, it is also often one of the most overlooked elements of roster construction. A key part of this decision is whether or not to use an early pick on a tight end. The factors that drive…...

The Key to Predicting Future Pass Rates Is Hiding in Plain Sight: How to Use The NFL Pace App to Find High-Powered Stacks

A team’s pass rate is one of the most important variables in deciding how many fantasy points each player will score. The first order impact is on aggregate rushing attempt and target volume, but it’s also a huge determinant in the overall production of an offense. Pass attempts are more efficient than rush attempts, earning more yards (7.1 versus 4.3) and scoring more touchdowns (4.4%…...
