Update: With five stud running backs going on Day 2 and a flurry of top wide receivers also coming off of the board, we have two players jump into the top seven picks of our mock who were previously outside the first round.

The RB Prospect Lab scores for the highly anticipated 2018 class help us separate the true stars from the pretenders to the throne. In recent seasons, players like Ezekiel Elliott (92), Le’Veon Bell (90), and Todd Gurley (85) have posted high scores and gone on to establish themselves as consistent week winners. The Lab has also helped us avoid busts like Ameer Abdullah (41) and…...

Freak Score is our scaled metric that uses height, weight, and speed to project the TD-scoring potential for NFL prospects. Unlike many other measures for an NFL prospect’s size/athleticism profile, the Freak Score gives us a measure that directly relates to an important element of fantasy scoring. If you aren’t adjusting for the importance of height, then you’re missing the critical element…....

The 2018 NFL Combine is in the books, and that means it’s time to evaluate who improved their stock the most, as well as those players who may have taken a big hit to their NFL expectations. I asked two of our college football experts, Anthony Amico and Jordan Hoover, to analyze last weekend’s combine. They teamed up to bring you the best and the…...

We’ve asked our writers for their most controversial picks and probed their brains for roster construction strategies to find out if they prefer to Win Now, Win Later, or Win Always. Today we find out what they see as their best value selections in our 2018 dynasty startup mock…....

We asked our writers to explain their roster construction from our recent dynasty startup mock. Do you prefer to Win Now, Win Big Later, or Win Always? And will these different approaches actually lead to those results? The RotoViz crew debates…....

We asked our writers to select their most controversial selections from our recent dynasty startup mock. The answers were terrific and included players who were too young, too old, too boring, or just played the wrong position…....

The RotoViz 2018 dynasty startup mock is in full swing. We’ll look at this draft from almost every direction imaginable, including an explanation of player selection from the drafters, draft strategy, pick value, and more. While we work through the final 21 rounds, we can use the RotoViz Screener to build statistical profiles for the elite talents coming off the board in Round 1. …...

Todd Gurley carried Mike Braude to a 151-148 victory over Evan Silva in the 2017 Apex Experts league championship. This month I’ll be recapping a few of the leagues I previewed last fall…....

Jordan Chunn will lead Troy against North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl. The redshirt senior is not a big name, but any 235-pound back with 47 college touchdowns and 84 career receptions should pique our interest…....

As we close in on the 2017 fantasy playoffs, it’s become increasingly clear that we’re witnessing one of the best running back classes in recent memory. With five stars who could be ranked in almost any order, I wanted to take a closer look at their scoring profiles, examine their pros and cons, and evaluate who will be the biggest dynasty forces in the future…....

In building Zero RB super-squads with five or six top-15 WRs, you have to load up on stars early but also hit breakouts in the middle and later rounds. That means selecting young players with production that isn’t priced into their ADPs…....

In 2015, the Zero RB target list included Devonta Freeman and Doug Martin. Martin went off the board at RB17 but finished as RB4. Freeman was selected outside the first 100 picks at RB29 but finished as the overall RB1. The 2016 list featured Melvin Gordon, my top breakout candidate and highest-owned player. Who are we targeting in 2017?…...

Leave no stone unturned as you prepare for your fantasy draft. Today, we draft a roster in reverse, working from the end back toward the beginning to see what insights it provides. …...

Our authors are using a variety of RotoViz tools to demonstrate their perfect drafts. I wanted to go through this experiment using the Draft Lab to build my perfect team from a tough position. The end of the round is brutal in 2017 drafts. Or at least it appears to be right now. Things always look very different by the end of the season…....
