Alvin Kamara was the breakout star of 2017. His 315 points trailed only Todd Gurley and Le’Veon Bell, and he managed the feat despite starting the season in a three-way committee with Mark Ingram and Adrian Peterson. Fighting his way to 101 targets, Kamara caught 82 passes and led the position with 826 receiving yards, the highest rookie total this century….

The wide receiver position gets thin quickly in 2018. On the Main Event Draft Bootcamp, Pat Kerrane, Peter Overzet, and I looked at the barren hellscape that is the fourth and fifth rounds at the position. Instead of wasting picks in these high-value rounds, follow the evidence for five deep starters at WR…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership...

If you missed it earlier in the week, Dave Caban put together the RotoViz Ultimate Rankings, using his projections from the Projection Machine, the tiers from the Draft Dashboard, the Historical Distribution Scores created from the similarity feature in the Fantasy Stat Explorer, and ADP.

I’ve had the chance to participate in a couple of Main Events over the last seven days. With a lot of excellent questions in the forums on where I’m seeing players go and what I’m doing in certain situations, here’s a quick look at some of the trends from these drafts. … Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a...

While third-year wide receivers used to hog the spotlight, more receivers break out in Year 2 than any other. This is the group you have to own to dominate your league, yet red flags and traps abound. We look at three projection systems and WR ADP to locate the league winners and avoid the busts. … Membership Required You must be a member to access this...

Running back handcuffs have fallen out of favor in recent years with the growth of committees and depth at the position. Pure handcuffs, players without standalone value, are a good way to tie up an important roster spot for much of the season, only to see that player not match the starter’s value when you plug him in for a key late-season tilt. Even on…...

Nelson Agholor was one of the last year’s best redemption stories. After two moribund campaigns to start his career, the No. 20 pick of the 2015 draft gained 768 yards, scored eight touchdowns, and finished as WR21. While he still hasn’t recorded even an 800-yard season, his current ADP outside the first 90 picks is surprising. He even fell to WR46 in the Apex Experts…...

The buzz over third-year wide receivers has largely died down in recent seasons as owners realize this isn’t a special group. But as the Myth of the Third-Year Breakout WR is dispelled, it opens up other opportunities for savvy owners. Third-year players do break out – just not in huge numbers – and they often represent excellent post-hype values. Davante Adams was an excellent example…...

After the epic 2014 WR class, it’s not surprising that the encore disappointed, but the failure of that 2015 group partially explains the larger collapse at the WR position. Seventeen WRs were drafted between Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs, and none of them have reached the 200-point plateau that roughly corresponds with a WR2 finish. That group includes epic busts like Kevin White, Breshad Perriman,…...

The first night of the preseason is in the books, and exciting new players are already making their presences felt. Saquon Barkley took the field and immediately ripped off four carries for 43 yards. Baker Mayfield rose to the challenge of Tyrod Taylor’s perfect game and threw for over 200 yards. Immediate star turns were no surprise from this year’s elite prospects, but what about below-the-radar…...

NFL draft position dictates early career fantasy scoring, but looking for prospects with elite college production is the best way to find bargains and players who will outscore draft expectation. Sure, it may take a while for some of those players to emerge when the deck is stacked against them, but we can afford to be patient with our final roster spots…. Membership Required You...
