The Prospect Workout Explorer is Here and It Boasts A Bevy of Super Useful Features
Dave Caban
March 17, 2021
D.K. Metcalf turned heads and raised his draft stock at the 2018 NFL combine by displaying an incredible mixture of straight-line speed, leaping ability, and strength. He posted a 4.33 forty-yard dash, a broad jump of 134 inches, a vertical leap of 40.5 inches, and 27 reps on the bench press. I can tell you that those numbers are insane, but with no context, it’s…...
2021 Superflex Dynasty Mock: Round 5 is the Time of Reckoning For Dynasty Managers
Sam Wallace
March 16, 2021
Sam Wallace breaks down Round 5 of a 2021 Superflex dynasty startup and explains why this is the round that truly separates dynasty managers as a massive tier break looms large. In the Dynasty Draft-Off series, Shawn Siegele and I are in a pitched battle to see who can build the best startup rosters. We’ll alternate picks with each of us responsible for six squads…....
Hunter Henry Is Now a Patriot, but Has New England’s Spending Spree Actually Crushed His Fantasy Value?
Neil Dutton
March 16, 2021
After a wild day of spending on the first day of free agency, the New England Patriots were at it again on Tuesday. This time, they inked Hunter Henry, formerly of the Los Angeles Chargers, to a three-year, $37.5 million contract. But while the 2020 Patriots offense lacked weapons, does the crowded nature of the 2021 team make it hard to trust Henry in fantasy…...
Corey Davis Lands in New York After a Highly Efficient 2020 Season, but Will it Be Wheels Up in 2021?
Zachary Krueger
March 16, 2021
Earlier today it was announced that former Titans wide receiver Corey Davis will be continuing his career in New York with the Jets. The former first-round pick signed a three-year, $37.5 million deal ($27 million guaranteed) and now looks to be a part of the new system ushered in under first year head coach Robert Saleh. As a member of the Titans, Davis never quite produced at…...
The Carlos Hyde Signing Elevates James Robinson To Must-Own in Fantasy
Sam Wallace
March 16, 2021
The first official day of “legal tampering” brought a multitude of sought-after fireworks. Fantasy managers and NFL fans alike eagerly awaited news that their favorite team made a splash in free agency and landed that star piece to put them over the top. While Jonnu Smith might have stolen the headlines early in the day, an under-the-radar move later in the evening had profound fantasy…...
Jonnu Smith Lands With a Patriots Team That Needs a Lot of Help, But Can They Launch Him in Fantasy?
Neil Dutton
March 15, 2021
The New England Patriots have signed former Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith to a four-year, $50 million deal that includes $31.25 million fully guaranteed. While this move will certainly bolster their offensive arsenal, does it make Smith a top-tier fantasy option at the TE spot? It would be fair to say that the Patriots needed more production from their tight ends in 2021 than…...
The Fantasy Fallout from Aaron Jones’ Decision Offers Big Opportunities for Fantasy Owners
Shawn Siegele
March 15, 2021
Aaron Jones re-signed with the Packers on a four-year, $48 million contract with a $13 million signing bonus. The move keeps Jones in Green Bay and causes headaches for A.J. Dillon owners. Over the past two seasons, only Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, and Alvin Kamara have scored more fantasy points than Jones. Only Henry has generated more than Jones’ 106.3 fantasy points over expectation (FPOE),…...
6 Years In And Freak Score Is Still Finding You Touchdowns
Matt Spencer
March 12, 2021
Freak Score is our home grown size adjusted speed metric that uses height, weight, and speed to project the TD-scoring potential for NFL prospects. Unlike many other measures for an NFL prospect’s size/athleticism profile, the Freak Score incorporates player height. Since its inception 6 years ago the NFL has seen a great many changing trends, but the Freak Score has remained a top predictor. The Freak…...
Revisiting ADP Risers and Fallers in FFPC Best Ball Drafts, Part 2: Pre-Free Agency Buys at WR and TE That You Can’t Overlook
Zachary Krueger
March 11, 2021
At the beginning of February, I wrote an article about players whose ADPs could rise and fall in FFPC best ball tournaments prior to the player movement that will take place during free agency. As rumors continue to swirl, and teams make cuts/trades in hopes of finding more salary cap space to work with, we are left to watch the fluctuation of ADPs all offseason…....

Curtis Patrick emerges from the Command Center with a new reference tool for your next dynasty SuperFlex TE Premium startup draft — the Dynasty Draft Navigator. When you essentially never stop staring at the same information, it can be difficult to stay sharp. This is especially true of dynasty rankings, tiers, and other value tools.

Jalen Reagor Infamously Headlines 2020’s Empty Calorie Fantasy Scorers List
Michael Dubner
March 9, 2021
In this 2020 NFL Best Ball Review, Michael Dubner uses Functional Fantasy Points to expose the WRs who contributed the fewest fantasy football points to starting rosters. Last offseason I debuted the concept of Functional Fantasy Points (FFP), which are the fantasy points a player scores above baseline at their position calculated on a weekly basis. Essentially, FFP measures the number of points a player…...
The Raiders Wanted Henry Ruggs to Be Their Tyreek Hill, But Is He Actually Another Mecole Hardman?
Neil Dutton
March 8, 2021
There was great excitement within the Las Vegas Raiders after taking Henry Ruggs III with the 12th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. Ruggs had blazed a 4.27 forty-yard dash time in the pre-draft process, and the feeling was that the Raiders had found their own version of Tyreek Hill. This would give them an offensive piece to use as they attempted to go…...
Just How Crazy Was 2020? Insights from the Win the Flex App and Strategies for 2021 Drafts
Blair Andrews
March 5, 2021
Drafting successfully means, at least in part, picking the right kinds of players and avoiding the wrong kinds. We provide a lot of guidance at RotoViz on who the right and wrong kind of players to draft are. Still, getting the player selection tactics down is only part of the solution for finding the game-changing win rates we know are possible. Shawn Siegele has detailed…...
Jalen Reagor’s Rookie Campaign Was Disappointing, But You’re Probably Too Low on Him in 2021
Neil Dutton
March 5, 2021
Wide receiver is a position that the Philadelphia Eagles have struggled to get production from in recent years. You have to go back to 2014 for the last time an Eagles wideout — Jeremy Maclin — crested 1,000 receiving yards. But they have certainly tried to find playmakers at the WR spot over the years. A year after re-acquiring DeSean Jackson and drafting J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, neither of…...
Jerry Jeudy’s Rookie Season Comps Display a Wide Range of Outcomes, But a Breakout May Be On the Horizon
Neil Dutton
March 4, 2021
Going into the 2020 NFL season, the Denver Broncos offense had the hallmarks of a unit that could surprise the league. While not 100% sure that Drew Lock was the answer at quarterback, the Broncos were going to give him a chance to succeed. They already had Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant, but in the first round of the draft, they added Alabama wide receiver…...

Improvements to Breakout Age Make It Even More Effective in Locating Wide Receiver Gems
Matt Spencer
March 3, 2021
It’s rookie season again in the NFL analytics community and the fights are already starting at the wide receiver position. Be prepared to stumble into many arguments over how Jaylen Waddle failed to breakout or how it took Devonta Smith until his fourth and senior season to achieve his breakout all while we are forced to use Ja’Marr Chase’s age-adjusted production from 2019 due to…...
A.J. Dillon Might Not Be the Next Derrick Henry, but His Comps Suggest We Haven’t Seen His Ceiling Yet
Zachary Krueger
March 3, 2021
Last week, as part of the RotoViz Rookie Review Series, I took a look at Rams running back Cam Akers and some of his closest rookie comps according to the RotoViz Screener. For this week’s article, I take a look at yet another running back, but one who saw significantly less work than Akers did in 2020. The Green Bay Packers had a controversial rookie draft class. Coming off…...

Dave Caban considers 2021 quarterback projections built by the RotoViz Range of Outcomes app. The Range of Outcomes app (ROO) is one of my favorite tools we have at RotoViz.
