Predicting Future NFL Draft Capital for Wide Receivers
Travis May
May 26, 2020
First off, predicting the NFL Draft pick by pick is truly impossible. That’s not what we’re trying to do here. When it comes to fantasy football we like to see wide receivers drafted in Rounds 1-3 of the NFL Draft. Those receivers typically produce fantasy points at a much higher rate than those drafted later or not at all. “Okay, cool. Yeah. Draft capital matters…....

Travis May
May 19, 2020
In case you missed everything else that RotoViz has ever done, production metrics matter when it comes to predicting future NFL success for wide receivers. However, finding what really matters, and how much it matters is tough. So, last year I took a look at some of the most impactful production variables and combined them to create what I call the Adjusted Production Index. It’s…...

Hello and welcome to the final post-NFL-Draft installment of my annual Top 100 Rookies series! If you’re new to the series, every year I put together 100 rookies entering the NFL and rank them based on the impact I believe they’ll have for fantasy football purposes (of course).

The College Football Transfer Portal: 2020 Watchlist
Travis May
April 1, 2020
In case you missed it, I recently dove into the success rates of transfer quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. And at first glance, it looks like transfers, and transfer success in general is on the rise. Quarterback transfers certainly look like the safest play. Wide receiver transfers are trending in that direction. And transfer running backs – although we don’t have a huge sample…...
The College Transfer Portal: Where Does It Lead?
Travis May
March 31, 2020
If you have paid any attention to college football over the past couple years, you have almost surely heard of the NCAA Transfer Portal. Big-name players and recruits like Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Justin Shorter, Tavien Feaster, Trey Sermon, and many more have made the Transfer Portal impossible to ignore. But what is the Transfer Portal? Where does it lead? And do players…...

Is Michael Pittman Jr. a Late Breakout To Believe In? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile
Travis May
February 3, 2020
Michael Pittman Jr. has the former NFL player bloodline going for him, but why else should we believe this young man will succeed in the NFL? Is he just another “good, but not great” receiver from USC? Does it matter that it took him forever to break out for an entire season? Let’s find out. From the Beginning For some of you (the old ones),…...
Is Isaiah Hodgins the Next A.J. Green or Another Hakeem Butler? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile
Travis May
January 22, 2020
At first glance, Isaiah Hodgins checks several boxes that we here at Rotoviz like to see. How is it that so few seem to be excited about this young A.J.

Henry Ruggs: Is He More Than Just Speed? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile

January 1, 2020
There’s far more to Henry Ruggs III than what his statistics will tell you on paper.

December 25, 2019
Chuba Hubbard has quickly become a household name in college football, but the jury is still out on when he’ll head to the NFL.
