After an unanticipated bye last week, the weekly machine learning projections are back! The model is really kicking in, as R-squared values are now expected above 0.3 as the data becomes more plentiful. Every team now has at least six games under their belt, which is optimal for predicting fantasy production. Let’s jump right into the week 8 projections and picks….

In fantasy football, we don’t often think to apply the word “sleeper” after draft day. But as the season drags on, situations certainly emerge where well-known and visible players are slept on, for one reason or another. We often refer to these as “buys” during the season, but Brian Hoyer is a situation where the term sleeper makes more sense. Based on the volume in his…...

There are so many differences between the NFL and NBA seasons. The most obvious from a DFS perspective is simply time. We have all week to prepare for football. The NBA is much faster, and I think for the average Joe working a nine to five, it is often difficult to research sufficiently for the upcoming slate of games. But have no fear!… Membership Required...

Each week this season, a group of RotoViz writers will offer their DraftKings Play of the Week. We’re tracking the value of our recommendations, using a DraftKings Millionaire Maker lineup metric, but we think these picks will also be valuable for seasonal leagues as well. For all the details about the thought process behind our picks, check the intro article. The goal is simple: recommend a…...

This is the seventh of a weekly series examining the actual fantasy production of wide receivers compared to what they would have been expected to do based on the targets that they saw. Got it? We determine that second part using line of scrimmage data. For a more detailed explanation, here’s the first iteration of this article. Here are the main terms you need to know:…...

To be honest with you, I’ve been involved with a lot of award programs in my life and my observation is that they’re fairly arbitrary. And maybe the Heisman is arbitrary too, [1]I haven’t been involved with that one yet but that doesn’t mean it’s any less fun to try to predict the winner. Toward that goal, I recently waded through a sea of Heisman…...

My friends and I have a game where one of us will try to come up with a million dollar idea off the top of our head, and the rest of us will try to brainstorm a way to make it better, workshopping it until it’s something that we think would be appropriate to bring to Cubes and Daymond in The Tank; or, more often than not,…...

In the most recent Numbers Game Podcast, I mentioned that presenting stats in seemingly similar groupings can be misleading if the events grouped together, in fact, have very dissimilar expected results. One of the oft-used groupings that jumped out to me is looking at touchdown scoring efficiency in the redzone, or inside the 5/10 yard line….

Week 7 was a mixed week for streaming. There were some waiver wire options that performed very well (as we’ll talk about shortly), but the top QBs still did their job for the most part. Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, and Andrew Luck all had great fantasy days, and Carson Palmer was still a top 12 option. However, there was definitely an edge that could have been gained from reading this…...

With a solid base of data points, fantasy football is growing more and more predictable by the week. However, as with all games of incomplete information, there will still be surprises each week for us to analyze. In this article, I will break down some of the week seven surprise performances and help you move forward with confidence on some players in ambiguous fantasy situations…....

This weekly article serves as a case study for those of you who would like to play in a high stakes league but don’t want to make the jump from a $50 to $1,500 buy-in…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

Did you know that Nate Washington, Danny Amendola, Tyler Lockett, Robert Woods, and Chris Conley finished as top 15 fantasy wide receivers in Week 7? This is the type of volatility the NFL brings us weekly and we love every second of it. … Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?

After last nights massive 14 game slate, we get a slight breather tonight with just three games on the schedule. On smaller slates, many players prefer to focus more on GPPs then cash games, since there tends to be more overlap between players and the difference between cashing and missing the cut can come down to not having one key guy. That’s a personal decision…...

Welcome to the Running Back Opportunity Report. The goal of this series is to go beyond raw carries, targets and yardage stats to look at the true opportunity each running back had to score fantasy points each week, and what they did with it….

  Arian Foster, the Houston Texan’s elite running back (and, more importantly, a key player on two of my fantasy teams) tore his right Achilles tendon on Sunday. He’s now on injured reserve, and is having his tendon surgically repaired. Foster is expected back in 6-9 months, i.e. for the start of next season.  The question I’ll address here is how good we can expect Foster…...
