Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books, and we’ve still got as many questions as we have answers. Here’s the good, the bad, and the oh so ugly for Week 2. The Good: 1) Dalvin Cook is proving to be an absolute stud. Through two games, Cook has pounded the ground for 265 yards and three TDs on 41 carries. He looks…...

Shawn Siegele breaks down the most explosive wide receiver fantasy performances of Week 2, including a heroic effort from Demarcus Robinson. Blair Andrews does a great job explaining expected points and fantasy points over expectation in the Week 1 EP Report. These metrics translate volume and efficiency directly into fantasy points by looking at the expected results from opportunities that occur at a specific down,…...

We’ve got a late edition Talkin’ Trades this week, as John Solis and I spent most of the week trapped in the lab putting together the debut episode of our new podcast The Solis Report. Please check it out if you love canned laughter, awkward comedy, and a smattering of football talk! Now let’s take a look at how we can take advantage of some…...

With Week 1 under our belts, it’s time to look ahead to our next matchups. Our favorite Week 2 fantasy football flex plays are all about exploiting the matchups and taking what the defense gives you. These guys should be able to find plenty of room against their opponents this weekend and provide plenty of boom potential. Sony Michel Michel averaged an abysmal 0.93 yards…...

I know half of you are in the “ban kickers from fantasy” camp — hell, I have petitioned for that in a few leagues myself — but the truth of the matter is that the vast majority of us need to roster a kicker. This is actually a very good thing. Streaming kickers provides a fantasy football opportunity that most people ignore. So many fantasy…...

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…...

So let’s do that. There really is no need to focus on the disappointing outings from Jack Doyle (3.0 PPR points) and Noah Fant (4.4). Waller’s…...
