Shawn Siegele uses the RotoViz tools to break down the history of sleepers in fantasy football. How do we find the deep impact players in 2021? This is Sleepers Week on Stealing Bananas. Ben Gretch and I are looking at how to find them, what their impact is, and which targets we’re drafting in 2021. One element that I mention on the show but wanted…...

Shawn Siegele continues the Discount Series with a look at three WRs who can provide Robert Woods’ production without the WR13 price tag. Robert Woods’ price is crazy. Now Woods is a good player, and the Rams offense should be better. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a career year. But when relatively minor elements of a 29-year-old receiver’s profile are pushing his ADP…...

Originally published August 5, Corbin Young reminds us of inexpensive second-year breakout candidates, including one who blew up in the first preseason game.

Today, the goal is the same, but the position is different: tight ends. A notoriously tricky…...

Our goal is to maximize the return on every pick consistently. A first-round selection has to live up to lofty expectations, or we feel let down. Consequently, if a late-round pick doesn’t perform as well…...

Shawn Siegele looks at why the best running back option in the RB Dead Zone might not be one of the dynamic rookies. And unlike Travis Etienne, this 2021 value occasionally falls out of the Dead Zone entirely. We’ve spent a lot of time at RotoViz the last several years explaining why you want to be careful about exposure to runners who are usually drafted…...

Shawn Siegele presents his 2022 first-round redraft projection and explains how it will help you win this season. On this week’s episodes of Stealing Bananas, Ben Gretch and I looked at the key metrics for predicting breakout seasons and avoiding collapse campaigns. In this exercise, I use the RotoViz research and tools to take a trip forward in our crystal ball. What will 2022 fantasy…...
