Last week I took the time to explain why there was no need to give in to the panic surrounding Leonard Fournette, Davante Adams, and Stefon Diggs.  These three combined for 533 yards, and yes, zero touchdowns. It is easy to forget that the season is long and we are only a quarter of the way through the season. Players will regress to their mean,…...

For the third week in a row, the number of wide receivers seeing double-digit targets dropped. But this was the most dramatic drop off of the lot. Fifteen WRs commanded at least 10 targets in Week 3. This week, that number fell to only eight. Here’s the full list of target leaders. Double-Digit Targets in Week 4 QUICK THOUGHTS Cooper Kupp’s recovery from an ACL…...

Shawn Siegele looks at the most explosive wide receiver performances of Week 4 and praises a sudden outburst from the Titans passing game. The top WR performances in fantasy points over expectation (reFPOE) didn’t come from the usual suspects this week. Instead we had two former first-round busts, last week’s buy-low candidate, a third receiver from a supposedly run-first squad, and an injured player whose…...

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.

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…...

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…...
