At RotoViz, we do a lot of work on game theory. A lot on roster construction. The optimal way to structure your team in order to give yourself the best chance at winning. But at the end of the day, you need to pick the right players. You could have constructed a beautiful team last year, employed every lesson from Shawn Siegele’s Best Ball Workshop,…...

You ever played Minesweeper? That game where you try to click on all of the boxes that aren’t bombs? That’s kind of like a fantasy football draft board. There are landmines everywhere, and you just have to do your best to avoid them. I never really got the hang of Minesweeper. JuJu Smith-Schuster was also one of my highest-owned wide receivers last year, so maybe…...

In 2015, fellow 2QB and Superflex enthusiast Joshua Lake shouted Superflex is the future. That future is now. Or is it? As someone who has championed the multi-quarterback format from the beginning of my foray into the fantasy community, I’m the first to highlight how superior the format is to traditional start-one QB leagues. And while there has been a gradual acceptance of Superflex in…...

Earlier this offseason, I used our Bounceback indicators to help drafters load up on the right wide receivers in dynasty. Several of those receivers have already returned a good profit as they’ve risen throughout the year. Now it’s time to dive back in for redraft. With the biggest draft weekend of the year only days away, how should we play these controversial receivers? The Wrong…...

In Part 3 of the Zero RB Candidates Countdown, Shawn Siegele presents all of the advanced stats behind his priority running back targets for 2020. For those of you on this ride from the beginning, we’ve arrived at our final destination. Skip down to the countdown for the five RBs who provide league-winning upside at a fraction of what it costs to draft their early-round…...

Yesterday, we crafted a 4-Step Plan to Dominate with an RB-RB approach in 2020. But does that plan work from every draft slot? If you have a late pick in 2020 drafts, you’re playing from behind. This is fairly intuitive as you won’t have a shot at players like Christian McCaffrey and Michael Thomas. You won’t be able to select any member of the Big…...

Jalen Reagor, Philadelphia’s star rookie wide receiver, dislocated his shoulder at practice reaching out to tackle a defender who was returning an interception (why are offensive players tackling during turnovers in practice?). He shouldn’t need surgery, at least during the season, and was given a 3-4 week timeline. Therefore, he’ll miss Week 1 and probably Week 2. He could play Week 3 and should be…...

Many of the smartest people have been advocating a similar approach regarding tight ends in fantasy drafts ahead of the 2020 NFL season. There is a “Big Four” at the top of the position, with Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, and Zach Ertz the acknowledged leaders. Given their track records and expected opportunities, these are the safest options to take at fantasy football’s most…...

2020 is the year of the running back. Earlier this year, Jack Miller demonstrated that RBs are going earlier than ever. In some cases, far earlier. This has created the perfect storm for Zero RB dominance, but it’s also provided an opening for savvy RB-RB drafters. Here’s my four-step plan for using early RBs to decimate your league. The RB Landscape The latest early-round ADP…...

In Part 2 of the Zero RB Candidates Countdown, Shawn Siegele presents all of the advanced stats behind his priority running back targets for 2020. If you’re as fired up for drafts tonight as I am, then you probably want the RB targets and a short intro. I’ll see what I can do. Especially not a genius Why would a reviewer make the point of…...

Welcome to the 2020 Zero RB target list where we help you find inexpensive RBs to destroy your league. The list isn’t just for Zero RB owners. You can use the list to construct a Zero RB squad, to fill out your Single-Elite-RB roster, or to build Flex upside into a RB-heavy start. Zero RB wins in high stakes and expert drafts. Shawn has used…...

Dave Caban compares RotoViz Ultimate Rankings to Tight End ADP and highlights the player that drafters may be too low on. Over the course of the last couple of months, I’ve built projections for every NFL team, explored historically based range of outcome projections, and helped to create our RotoViz redraft rankings. Each exercise played an important role in shaping my overall view of the 2020 fantasy football…...
