For an immediate look at the games from the previous weekend, please check out our Monday Review tool which includes a collection of preliminary stats.
Welcome back to another installment of Decoding Backfields. If you’ve been tuning in for the last few pieces, you know this goes. If not, here’s the quick version. My goal is to decode a backfield with question marks surrounding a specific player value and anticipated production for this coming season. If you’d like to read my previous pieces, they are listed here: San Francisco 49ers…...
Welcome to the RotoViz Future NFL Draft Prospects series! We’ll be tackling all the top future NFL Draft prospects on the best teams in college football one university at a time. And no, we’re not talking just 2021. We’re peering into our crystal ball to predict the future of many prospects out as far as the 2024 NFL Draft! Don’t think that’s possible? Dive into…...
There are several factors in play that could lead you towards the opinion that Adam Thielen is ready for a bounceback campaign in 2020. However, there are just as many that should lead you to think the exact opposite. It is these negative factors that you must keep in mind in drafts when you start thinking about adding the Minnesota Vikings man. Bouncebackability? Predicting bounceback…...
Recently, Neil Dutton examined 3 Players RotoViz Rankers are Higher on Than FFPC Drafters. Make sure to check out his piece if you haven’t yet. Over the next several weeks, Neil and I will be covering three players from each division, with him taking on the AFC as I focus on the NFC. This particular article looks into the NFC East. Most players within this division…...
Similar to some other best ball formats, Yahoo! is a 20-round draft, with mostly standardized Half-PPR scoring, that requires us to start one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one flex, and one defense. However, unlike other formats, Yahoo! pays out a weekly prize to the top-scoring team. Naturally, this decreases the amount of money left to reward the highest-placing teams at the end…...
Running backs win fantasy leagues. Well, at least they have the potential to impact leagues more than other positions. The new Best Ball Win Rate Explorer tool lets us see the top-10 highest best ball win rate seasons over the last five years. Eight of them — including the top-seven — are RBs. Player Position Year ADP Win Rate Christian McCaffrey RB 2019 2.4…...

In The Ultimate 2020 Fantasy Football Sleepers List – Running Backs, Curtis Patrick shares his top late-round targets who could pop this NFL Season if everything falls just right. These are players going so late they’re nearly free. It’s the final round of your 2020 fantasy draft and you’ve been crushing every round. Maybe you already successfully landed one of my must-draft running backs for 2020…...
Curtis Patrick and Shawn Siegele draft in the FFPC Pros vs. Joes dynasty event. Shawn analyzes the key trends from their draft and breaks down the Team RotoViz selections. It’s always a lot of fun to participate in a startup dynasty draft with a partner, and it’s even better when that draft is an FFPC Pros versus Joes event. Owners in this league are engaged…....
The Scott Fish Bowl is one of my favorite leagues every year. Not only does it help raise money for Fantasy Cares to support various charities, but it also always has among the most interesting scoring and roster settings. The league has typical 1-QB, 2-RB, 3-WR, 1-TE starting lineup requirements, but the addition of four flex spots, including one Superflex, adds several wrinkles. Tight-end-premium scoring…...
We have a ton of fantastic tools on the site and are always working on new ones. While we have written about them and included their output in an abundance of articles, we haven’t created a repository that can be accessed to easily find tutorials. Going forward, you can find a full list of helpful articles and tutorials here! I’ll be adding article links and…...

Evan Engram, the New York Giants’ 25-year-old star tight end, underwent surgical fixation of a Lisfranc fracture of his foot in late December. A Lisfranc injury that requires surgery is a significant injury. It’s a subluxation (partial dislocation) of the usually very stable joints of the mid-foot that are required to run, cut and jump. It may or may not also involve a fracture. Lisfranc…...
Welcome back to the fifth (already?!) installment of my Decoding Backfields series. If you are joining for the first time, I recommend going back and reading through my previous pieces to get an idea of where I am going. San Francisco 49ers Baltimore Ravens Miami Dolphins Houston Texans All right, perfect. As we shift our attention to the Midwest, we are beginning to see a…...
There is still a fair amount of uncertainty as to whether we will actually get an NFL season in 2020. However, until higher powers tell us otherwise, the fantasy football world continues to assume that some action will take place on the gridirons of America this fall and winter. With this in mind, the folks over at the FFPC are still churning out the fantasy…...
We are less than two weeks from the kickoff of the 2020 Scott Fish Bowl (#SFBX)! The scoring format is largely unchanged from #SFB8 and includes a points-per-first-down scoring component and a points-per-reception component. The biggest scoring change for this season is at the quarterback spot. However, for those of you who are new to the Scott Fish Bowl/points per first down (PP1D) formats,…...
After a month and a half of slogging through data, evaluating depth charts, making tweaks, and seeking feedback from other members of the team, my opening 2020 projections are done! Building a set of well-reasoned fantasy football projections is a time-consuming process but one that I’ve come to appreciate. It’s a key piece of my annual offseason preparation as it helps me to better understand…...
Those who listened to Mike Beers on the Best Ball episodes of RotoViz Overtime knew something exciting was coming. It’s here, and it’s spectacular. Last Friday, Mike unveiled the Best Ball Win Rates Explorer and the features are insane. You can look at all of the individual player win rates for the last five years, but you can also do something much cooler. Instead of simply…...
Welcome to my fourth installment of the Decoding Backfields series. In my last three pieces, I broke down the backfields for the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, and Miami Dolphins. Next up, an aging star and an underused, unappreciated asset. How will the Houston Texans backfield look heading into this upcoming season? Let’s take a closer look. David Johnson Peak David Johnson was a sight…...
Frank Gore has been taking up backfield touches for well beyond what many would consider his “prime” years as his tour of the AFC East brings him to his third team in three seasons. He will be entering his age 37 season with the New York Jets after spending 2019 vulturing touches from a promising Bills backfield that eventually featured rookie running back Devin Singletary…....
