The 2018 Phenom Index for Rookie Wide Receivers

With the 2018 NFL draft just 10 days away, I thought I should come out of retirement and deliver some value to the fantasy football community. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to come back and write another edition of the Phenom Index, which has been posted at RotoViz every year since 2014…....

The 2017 Phenom Index for Rookie Wide Receivers

The NFL Combine gets under way later this week, which means we’re officially in the thick of prospect season. As such, I’ve been invited back to write another edition of the Phenom Index, which has been posted at RotoViz every year since 2014…....

The RotoViz 2016 NFL Draft Guide

Imagine that you just woke up from a four-month slumber, looked at the calendar and thought, “Crap! The NFL draft is in a few days and I have no clue about any of these guys.”[1]In my mind, I read that in my Aziz Ansari voice. The RotoViz 2016 NFL Draft Guide is your hub for every bit of draft content we’ve written, condensed into one,…...

Ricardo Louis is the Most Overlooked Receiver in the Draft

While working on the RotoViz Draft Guide[1]yes, really. Stay tuned. today, I noticed that we have written nothing about Auburn WR Ricardo Louis. I decided to dig into his profile and the conclusion I reached was, “why the f*** have we been ignoring Ricardo Louis?” He has some really intriguing data points!… Footnotes[+]Footnotes[−] Footnotes ↑1 yes, really. Stay tuned....

Stock Down: 7 Rookies Falling in Dynasty Drafts

One of my favorite things about the offseason is tracking how players’ value changes over time. In this article, I’m going to look at 7 rookies falling in dynasty drafts, based on the RotoViz pre-combine rookie mock and the pre-draft rookie mock…....

Who are 2016’s Best Workhorse Running Backs?

Over the last few years, Matthew Freedman has written extensively about how running backs who carry a workhorse load in college tend to outperform expectations in the NFL. Today, with his blessing, I’m going to apply his methodology (or something close to it) and some of my own to examine the top workhorse running backs in the 2016 class…....

2016 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft (Pre-Draft)

The NFL combine is in our rearview mirror and the draft is less than a month away. To give you the best picture of how to value rookie for fantasy purposes, I wrangled up some of the sharpest minds in the industry and conducted a 2016 dynasty rookie mock draft. Links to their Twitter handles are included below, so be sure to praise or heckle their…...

Draft this Rookie WR in Dynasty and Laugh All the Way to the Bank

Believe it or not, the power-conference receiver with the highest Phenom Index score doesn’t really have his own article on this site. More than that, he’s not even ranked among the top 10 receivers in the latest RotoViz Scouting Index. Heck, he barely even participated in the NFL combine, which may or may not have been related to an injury…....

The 2016 Phenom Index for Rookie Wide Receivers

In the two years since the introduction of the Phenom Index, the intersection of age and production has gained more traction in the NFL Draft community. Thanks to everyone who has built on this work and done additional research on age factors. Here is the 2016 edition of the Phenom Index for wide receivers…....

What to do When Running Back Teammates are Drafted in the Same Year?

Something unusual is going to happen in the NFL Draft this year. For the first time since 2005, multiple pairs of running back teammates are going to be selected in the same draft. Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake from Alabama, and Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams from Arkansas, are all likely to be chosen in the top 150 picks. For draft evaluators and dynasty owners alike, this…...

Jared Goff and Marcus Mariota Faced 14 Common Opponents – Here’s How They Fared

In the 2015 NFL Draft, Marcus Mariota was the second overall pick. In the 2016 NFL Draft, it’s quite possible that Jared Goff will be the second overall pick. As fate should have it, these quarterbacks overlapped for two years in the Pac 12, which led to them playing 14 common opponents, or approximately one full season. While their styles of play are somewhat different, many of the…...

Malcolm Mitchell is Quite Good and Few Seem to Care

Most years, an SEC receiver who broke out at age 18 and had a SPARQ[1]a composite metric that expresses overall athleticism score in the 70th percentile of all NFL wideouts would be a darling of the draft community. This year, Malcolm Mitchell has flown largely under the radar, despite being exactly the player I just described. So, what gives? Let’s dive into the career and athleticism…...
