With plenty of teams starting 0-3, managers are breaking free from their preseason player values, and some big name trades will be more possible than ever. It’s a good time to get aggressive targeting those big pieces if your best-laid plans of August have left you with dangerous holes in your starting lineup. QUARTERBACK Sell Gardner Minshew People love Minshew and people are also desperate…...

Few teams entered the 2019 NFL season with higher expectations than the Cleveland Browns. And few fanbases have ever seemed more deserving of a turnaround. The Browns won only four games from 2015 to 2017, but even that understates the misery. Reaching back to 2003, they have 12 seasons with five or fewer wins. They have only two seasons with double-digit wins since 1989. Enter…...

Veteran high stakes fantasy football player Monty Phan chronicles his season. When my three friends and I drafted our FFPC Main Event online team three weeks ago, none of us expected to be debating whether or not to pick up Case Keenum to be our Week 4 starter. After all, we drafted Drew Brees, who had only missed one game due to injury in his…...

Week 3 of the 2019-20 football season was a week of starting debuts.  Some took full-advantage of the opportunity. Daniel Jones silenced critics who chastised the Giants all offseason for drafting him sixth-overall, by…...

The Process Before I look to Week 4 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 3 Position Rank 1 Brett Maher, Dallas Cowboys FG 1/2 XP…...

If you spend any time reading RotoViz, eventually you’ll hear us talking about expected points. Expected points (EP) are the number of fantasy points that a target or carry should score based on game situation — down, distance, and field position. In other words, expected points allow us to transform raw opportunity, such as carries and targets, directly into fantasy points. From there we can…...

I’ll admit, I was not overly hopeful about the streaming options going into Week 3. On the whole, I was not disappointed about not being disappointed. Jason Witten finished as the TE18 with an underwhelming 8.4 PPR points. Tyler Eifert averaged a whopping 18 yards per reception … but only had one reception. The saving grace was Will Dissly, who finished as the TE6 on…...

Double-Digit Targets in Week 3 QUICK THOUGHTS Still No Davante? Davante Adams’ continued…...

Saquon Barkley is my main man in my most important home league. It is a keeper league and I have a stacked team beyond him as well, with Michael Thomas, Davante Adams, and Deshaun Watson. This team is 0-3. I am not happy. I am worried, but I will not panic. The reality is that the season is not over, and making the playoffs is…...

Waiver Wire Dumpster Dives takes you beyond the obvious plays and helps you find undervalued gems for deep leagues. Let’s talk transparency. Last week’s Dumpster Dives were a bit of a mixed bag. Virgil Green goose-egged. Raheem Mostert had another incredible day on the ground, averaging 6.6 yards-per-carry. But he didn’t record any receptions, limiting his Week 3 production. And I just hope to find someone…...

Keenan Allen wasn’t far behind with 13 receptions for 183 yards and two touchdowns. The mega-stars combined for 32 targets, but they also managed to outperform their volume. Evans ranked No. 1 in fantasy points over expectation (FPOE), while Allen finished in…...
