The Dream of Perpetual Motion: A Quick Reminder That Rookies Are Free in Startups
Shawn Siegele
June 12, 2019
If Brian Malone’s 2018 article, Rookies Are Free Money, isn’t my favorite article on the site, it’s easily in my top five. Or at least the top 10. (I tend to receive a lot of grief from friends about my top 10 lists containing an almost unlimited number of items.) Regardless of where you rank it, Brian’s look at the profitability of rookies is a…...

RB-Heavy Will Kill Your Best Ball Team, But There Is An Early Round Perfect for RBs
Shawn Siegele
May 22, 2019
In Lesson 7 of the Best Ball Workshop, we learned that RB-heavy teams have very poor win rates. In fact, if you start RBx4 or select RBs in four of the first five rounds, then your chances of winning drop to approximately one in 20. Far from being fueled exclusively by the RB apocalypse of 2015, RBx4 had it’s worst year in 2018, winning less…...
Mecole Hardman’s ADP Is Weird for a Couple of Reasons
Shawn Siegele
May 16, 2019
When the Chiefs traded up in the 2019 second round, the RotoViz draft room was abuzz. Kansas City was obviously moving up to select the replacement for Tyreek Hill. This was the pick that was going to make a fantasy hero. The Chiefs love athleticism in their draft picks, and they’re trying to replace the fastest man in the NFL, so it seemed obvious…...

But were these wins the result of avoiding RBs early? Or did he win because of player selection and in spite of a structural approach that might be doing more harm than good? The…...
Andy Isabella Is One of the Best Rookie Values in Recent Memory
Shawn Siegele
May 10, 2019
The Arizona Cardinals selected Andy Isabella No. 62 overall in the 2019 NFL draft. The UMass star was the eighth wide receiver off the board in the reality event, and yet he’s only the No. 10 WR in rookie drafts. Still, that’s hardly the kind of gap to get worked up over unless there’s something else going on. What is it about the diminutive…...
