I think there’s a decent chance that most of the RotoViz contributors end up liking Tavon Austin’s WVU teammate Stedman Bailey a little more than Austin in upcoming dynasty drafts…....

Heading into  the 2013 offseason there is great interest in the New England passing attack. Gronk and Hernandez are star tight ends, but who else is going to catch passes from Tom Brady? Excluding practice squad players for the moment, the Patriots only have Brandon Lloyd and Matt Slater under contract for the 2013 season. It is clear that the Pats are lacking a true…...

In the first part of this series, Shawn Siegele layed out the bearish view on Matthew Stafford.  In this installment Frank DuPont/The Fantasy Douche is going to do his best to lay out the bullish view. First, let me just say that when I went to check Matthew Stafford’s ADP (hoping that it would have sunk below QB12) I was totally disappointed and Stafford might…...

This is going to be a post for all you daily fantasy basketball junkies. Daily hoops can be extremely exhausting due to the massive day-to-day swings in player usage and match ups so this will serve as a great place to start when constructing your lineup…....

The SEC is the best conference, right? If you can perform in the SEC, you can probably play in the NFL, right? But what can be said about a guy from the ACC who performs fantastically against SEC opponents?…...

If you’re the type of person who just rips open boxes, unwilling to read instructions, then you can check out the app at this dedicated page.  But if you’re the type of person who proceeds with caution, then I have some thoughts below on using the app…....

Entering 2012, his third season in the NFL, Eric Decker was a nice receiver who showed promise as a complement to Demaryius Thomas. In his first two seasons he caught 50 balls for 718 yards and 9 touchdowns but only managed four games with more than three catches…....

This is the first of a two part series where Shawn Siegele and Frank DuPont/The Fantasy Douche take turns looking at Matthew Stafford’s prospects going into 2013…....

Mississippi State receiver Chad Bumphis has been in the news twice recently. First, he used social media to warn recruits about taking money on National Signing Day. Later, news broke that he got snubbed from the NFL combine, despite hauling in 12 receiving touchdowns this year. For perspective, consider the following:…...

Tight end is a position that has created some challenges in recent years if forecasting via Similarity Scores is what we want to do.  There are fewer tight ends than wide receivers or running backs, and the emergence of guys like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham has meant that we have multiple tight ends per year that we’re trying to match up with historical seasons…...

If it weren’t for the infamous Fail Mary debacle on Monday Night Football, Golden Tate would have gone completely under the radar in 2012 despite logging a very solid season of production. Tate finished 34th in total fantasy points among wide receivers with 688 yards and 7 TDs (six if you’re not counting the charity he received from the replacement refs)…....

In the first part of this series Shawn Siegele articulated why he has a negative view of Randall Cobb going into the 2013 season.  In this installment Frank DuPont/The Fantasy Douche will share his thoughts on Cobb. Shawn and I probably agree on the big broad strokes that are relevant to whether you want to own Cobb in 2013.  But before I get to the…...

As you read in part 1 of this article, Pac-12 wide receivers are going extinct. Now it’s time to examine some similarities among failed Pac-12 prospects and see if we can find a trend. Hopefully we can get a read on California WR Keenan Allen…....

Rap Battle will be a running series that originated out of emails that Money in the Banana Stand’s Shawn Siegele and Frank DuPont/The Fantasy Douche exchange from time to time where they share their thoughts on players.  It’s probably worth noting that the very first time Shawn and Frank ever exchanged emails, it was Shawn telling Frank that Frank was wildly underrating Rob Gronkowski… that…...

Jon Moore’s article from earlier today, which discussed the lack of impact that Pac-12 wide receivers are having in the NFL, has had me thinking about possible explanations.  One reason that may seem obvious to you, but which wasn’t immediately obvious to me is that the Pac-12 suffers from both a time zone and a geography problem. Most of the population of the U.S. lives…...

Let’s play a word association game. If I say ‘Peanut Butter,’ you say ______. If I say ‘Salt,’ you say _______. If I say ‘Pac 12 wide receivers,’ you say ______…....

One of the great things you can do with the Similarity Score apps is that you can create custom adjustments with very little effort.  I primarily use Similarity Scores when I project players for the coming fantasy season.  But one thing I’ve struggled with in the past is how to treat players that will see usage changes.  The custom features on the app make quick…...

Using the ADP Arbitrage app we can look at a receiver and then see what the Average Draft Position of similar receivers is.  This is a way of checking market value.  I figured I would bang out a quick article illustrating how I would use the app in making decisions for my fantasy team…....
