In case you missed it, last spring I dove into the success rates of transfer quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. And at first glance, it looks like transfers, and transfer success in general is on the rise. Quarterback transfers certainly look like the safest play. Wide receiver transfers are trending in that direction. And transfer running backs – although we don’t have a huge…...

Editor’s Note: Now updated with complete results and commentary for the full 2021 pro day season. Just like the 2020 NFL season before it, the 2021 NFL Draft and pro day process will be one like never before. The originally intended dates for the 2021 NFL combine have already come and gone. And by now, most attuned to the world of professional football are aware…...

Jermar Jefferson’s pro day reinforced his status as a Day 3 prospect, but his on-field performance paints him as a first-round pick. Shawn Siegele explains why the precocious Oregon State star is such a controversial player and how to take advantage in dynasty. Make the Scouting Process Easy with RV’s All the Metrics Series Travis Etienne: Why the Clemson Star Should Be Part of Any Winning Startup Javonte…...

Last week I took a look at FFPC best ball ADP, covering risers and fallers and the quarterback and running back position after a wild free agency period. This week, we’ll take a look at risers and fallers at wide receiver and tight end. Pre-free agency, we saw a handful of talented players go undervalued in drafts. Now, after joining new teams, drafters have re-awakened…...

Matthew Freedman recently tweeted an alarming list of players — first-round wide receivers since 2011 who spent at least four years in college: 2011-20: Round 1 WRs w/ 4+ years in college … Brandon AiyukCorey Davis Mike WilliamsJohn RossCorey ColemanJosh DoctsonKevin White DeVante ParkerPhillip Dorsett Tavon Austin Justin BlackmonMichael FloydKendall WrightA.J.

Javonte Williams didn’t wow observers with a 4.55 forty at his pro day, but that’s not the entire picture. If you buy Williams today, will you get a fast return on his RB18 price? Make the Scouting Process Easy with RV’s All the Metrics Series Jermar Jefferson Reminds Us that Production and On-Field Explosivenss Are Undervalued Travis Etienne and Why You Should Be Willing to…...

Travis Etienne is one of four potential selections at the 1.01 in non-superflex formats. Shawn Siegele discusses all of the key prospect metrics and explains why understanding Etienne’s profile is a crucial element of any successful 2021 startup strategy.

In the 68th edition of the Wrong Read, Blair Andrews uses a random forest to help you find the most important metrics for wide receiver evaluation. A couple of years ago, I did a fun study called the Ultimate WR Prospect Metrics Guide to determine which metrics best correlated with NFL success. That was a good first step, but it had a couple of holes…....

The 2021 RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty Leagues have launched, and we’re excited to be involved in this fantastic new product from the FFPC. The new format adds a starting WR spot and includes three flexes, one of which can be a QB. So how do you attack this new format which combines the great interface and customer service of the FFPC with a deeper starting lineup?…...

Over the last several weeks we have been looking at players who could be poised for a rise or fall in ADP in wake of free agency and the NFL Draft. The beginning of the NFL offseason offers a unique opportunity to take calculated risks on players with unknown circumstances. These risks could lead to you nailing a pick whose ADP has skyrocketed since free…...

The year is 2021 and we are still having the same debate that’s been going on for over 10 years. It is particularly poignant this year with the cancellation of the NFL combine due to COVID-19. Why are pro day forty times faster than combine forty times and should we be adjusting them to get an apples-to-apples comparison with official combine laser timing? With no…...

Dave Caban unveils his 2021 RB Breakaway Rush Scores — a metric that has proven to be one of the most predictive measures of NFL success for RB prospects. It’s easy to love explosive running backs — players that can take a handoff, find a hole, juke past a linebacker, and race to the end zone. These are the type of plays that circle through…...

Late-Round Quarterback has been a staple of value-based drafting strategy for nearly a decade. Are we seeing the tides turn as many are advocating for drafting early-round dual-threat QBs? The two primary ways to measure the success of fantasy football draft picks are production and value, with production largely measured by fantasy points and value accounting for the cost to acquire (aka draft capital). Earlier…...

Last year, when many fantasy analysts were bemoaning an elite receiver switching teams to a run-first offense led by an inaccurate but mobile quarterback, I wrote that both the receiver and the quarterback were targets. The receiver was Stefon Diggs. The quarterback was Josh Allen. They each finished third in PPR scoring. This year a similar situation has arisen, with Kenny Golladay headed to the…...

Elite running backs are a precious commodity in dynasty fantasy football. Dave Caban outlines a simple way to maximize your chances of finding tomorrow’s stars. Earlier this month I used regression tree analysis to better understand wide receiver prospect profiles. Regression trees help us to understand the mixture of attributes that tend to drive NFL performance and provide a visual way to understand how these…...

Patrick Mahomes can make up for a lot, but that shocking day in Tampa confirmed the existence of limits, as both his stalwart protectors at offensive tackle yielded to their understudy. Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz bookended an offensive line that had returned a majority of starters in every season since the Chiefs traded up for Mahomes in 2017. Now both free agents recover from…...

Believe it or not, it’s time to start talking about the 2021 College Football season! Spring practices are already in bloom. Spring games are kicking off here soon. Early enrollees have been on campus for weeks now. Most transfers are finalized. Some impatient devy fantasy football drafts are already in progress. It’s time we talk about the next generation of future NFL stars set to…...

Shawn Siegele updates his dynasty rankings with most of the big free agent WRs off the board. Where do Kenny Golladay, Will Fuller, and Curtis Samuel rank after changing teams? As free agency winds down and pro days continue at a fevered pace, Sam Wallace and I find ourselves embroiled in Scott Barrett’s Animal Shelter startup. Any dynasty startup is a blast, but this format…...

During the first week of free agency, several teams saw changes to their running back depth chart. While the Texans added two seasoned veterans in Mark Ingram and Phillip Lindsay, the Raiders and Falcons added one each of their own in Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis. While some of these moves may bode well for the newly signed running backs, they could also negatively impact the incumbent backs on their…...

In Dynasty Trading, Curtis Patrick journals moves from his own dynasty fantasy football leagues. I’ve been a trade-hound this month. On the low side, I’ll estimate I’ve sent something like 50 offers across 11 leagues, and that’s not including a flurry of activity in my latest dynasty startup. Dynasty trading is essential to finding sustained success. Trading can help you address an injury or a retirement…....
