The 3 and Out uses a number of RotoViz Apps to uncover significant workload changes; league, team, and player-specific trends; and hidden but powerful statistics. Before we get into the heart of this week’s article, I want to point out that we launched the NFL Pace App last week.

The Process Before I look at Week 6, it is important to observe if the selection process was effective. Here is a recap of last week’s recommendations. If you need a refresher on what to look for when analyzing kickers, read the Week 2 Fantasy Football Kicker Streaming article.  Name, Team Stat Line Week 4 Position Rank 1 Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles FG 1/1 XP…...

We are somehow already through five weeks of the 2019 NFL season. There are multiple breakout players that are here to stay, and known commodities that seem to have faded to fantasy irrelevance. This is The Good, the Bad, and the Oh So Ugly from Week 5. The Good 1) Chris Godwin, through five weeks of the 2019 NFL season, is the overall WR1 in fantasy. His…...

Week 5 was an absolute disaster. I am big enough to admit this. It was a week where Darren Fells and Ryan Izzo commanded a total of four targets, yet both finished inside the top eight PPR performers. As for the three players I recommended last week, Jesus wept … let’s get this over with. Jimmy Graham was TE18 with 7.1 points. Tyler Eifert amassed the…...

It was a bonanza week for players like Will Fuller and Michael Thomas in Week 5, with both players eclipsing 40 PPR points. Fuller actually posted the ninth greatest PPR outing by a WR of all time. This was a welcome boom week after Fuller amassed just 32.3 points in his first four games of the 2019 season. I’m not sure how many more times he’ll…...

I am glad you hung on to Will Fuller, Calvin Ridley and Austin Ekeler as they had solid outings. Now, that is not true for all players who I have told you not to cut. O.J. Howard forgot to inform us that he did in fact retire and will no longer need to be rostered on your fantasy team. The Buccaneers receiving options have been wildly…...

Waiver Wire Dumpster Dives takes you beyond the obvious plays and helps you find undervalued gems for deep leagues. Week 5 was the Dumpster Dives poster child of the NFL season, with names like Byron Pringle, Chase Edmonds, Steven Sims Jr. and even some guy named Reggie Bonnafon topping the weekly points rankings.
