Shawn Siegele
June 23, 2020
Those who listened to Mike Beers on the Best Ball episodes of RotoViz Overtime knew something exciting was coming. It’s here, and it’s spectacular.

Instead of simply having the individual win rates, you can stack that player with one or two other players to see the overall result. Want to know the win rate for teams that rostered Christian McCaffrey and Lamar…...

If Wide Receiver Is Deep, Running Back Is Bottomless
Shawn Siegele
June 17, 2020
Running back-heavy constructions are all the rage in 2020. This is despite research that repeatedly shows the flaws in this approach. One persistent narrative may be the culprit: wide receiver is deep. This is certainly not the case from an evidence-based perspective. The Win the Flex tool shows you how many points have been scored relative to ADP by the different positions. After the megastar RBs at the top of the draft, WR quickly opens a massive gap. RB and WR Scoring Relative to ADP 2017-2019 That gap starts to close at approximately the same time RB-heavy drafters switch to…...

Shawn Siegele
June 15, 2020
In an unusual offseason that’s lacked on-field workouts, we haven’t had the normal player buzz. We’re still seeing plenty of movement.

Shawn Siegele
June 9, 2020
The MFL10 of Death is annually one of my favorite leagues. Drafting against these experts is an absolute blast, and I want to thank Pat Thorman for putting it together and donating the proceeds to charity.
