Deebo Samuel, San Francisco’s top returning wide receiver, suffered a Jones fracture of his fifth metatarsal, a bone in his foot, and underwent surgical fixation on June 18, 2020. Jones Fracture Fixation, Courtesy of Mark Adickes, MD. The obvious question for fantasy football managers is what should we expect from a WR many of us were planning on targeting in our drafts? I’ll just…...
About a month ago, I wrote an article about the impact of efficiency on running back performance in the following year relative to market value. I separated RBs into different buckets (based on ADP, scoring, experience, etc.) and used their best ball win rate in Year N+1 to determine whether the public values efficiency correctly. Looking at all RBs, there isn’t much of a difference,…...
In my first two articles of this series, I did my best to decode the San Francisco 49ers backfield and the Baltimore Ravens backfield heading into this season. Those two offenses have significant fantasy value, especially on the ground. Identifying the best player for his specific value can make a big difference in the success of your fantasy team. As difficult as it is to…...
In the Wide Receiver Lesson of the 2020 Best Ball Workshop, Shawn Siegele discusses the WRs tactics that make the difference between winning and losing. It’s not hyperbole to say WR is the key to generating elite top-six percentages. The numbers will shock you. The Best Ball Workshop has been a blast to write again this season, and it’s a testament to the fantastic intel…...

Lamar Jackson’s 2019 season gave us the greatest single-season rushing performance by a quarterback in NFL history. Jackson set the NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 1,206 rushing yards and also the record for most carries by a quarterback (176). This resulted in Jackson finishing as the overall QB1, and the league MVP. With that being said, there are certain draft strategies…...
Running back-heavy constructions are all the rage in 2020. This is despite research that repeatedly shows the flaws in this approach. One persistent narrative may be the culprit: wide receiver is deep. This is certainly not the case from an evidence-based perspective. The Win the Flex tool shows you how many points have been scored relative to ADP by the different positions. After the megastar…...
NFL training camps are a little more than a month away, and fantasy football drafts are picking up steam. And what better way to hone your craft than Best Ball leagues – the draft-and-forget league that puts your draft skills to the test. Today, we will be looking at the best picks in Rounds 5-8 of Best Ball drafts. Check out my previous article for…...
Chris Carson, Seattle’s lead running back, fractured his hip on December 30, 2019, playing against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. His hip fracture did not require surgery. This means that it was a stable fracture, almost assuredly of the proximal femur. That’s the end of the thigh bone that articulates at the hip, near the ball of that ball and socket joint…. Membership Required...
In my last piece, I took a closer look at the San Francisco 49ers backfield and how you should approach that fantasy goldmine this upcoming season. Talented players, unique opportunities, and changing ADP all factor into making the best decision for your roster. Decoding it correctly can lend you league-winning upside. If there is a team with as much wealth in the ground game as…...

Injuries happen. It’s unfortunate, but it’s true. However, these injuries can have positive impacts to teammate value. So far, this offseason, two potential top-20 devy wide receivers have sustained season-ending injuries. Another significant injury is causing ripples that could drastically impact the draft stock for a few teammates. Justyn Ross – Neck Ross was being prepared for a surgery related to Stinger-like sensations in early…...
There is no position in the NFL with a steeper learning curve than that of tight end. Players at that position come into the league and are expected to not only learn how to run NFL routes but also block NFL defenders. Is there little wonder then that rookie stars at this position are so hard to find? Some people still make the mistake of…...
In an unusual offseason that’s lacked on-field workouts, we haven’t had the normal player buzz. We’re still seeing plenty of movement. The Risers/Fallers tab in the FFPC Dashboard helps locate the biggest ADP movers. With a little over a month until the proposed beginning of camp, you still have plenty of time to balance your portfolio at a profit . . . if you purchase…...
“Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see. One chants out between two worlds … fire walk with me!” – Mike It may not be as exciting or interesting as Twin Peaks, but the first RotoViz Staff best ball league of the off-season is underway! I’ll do my best to look at this draft from every direction imaginable, including an explanation of…...
Players entering Year 2 are among the best investments you can make in your fantasy drafts. So how do you predict who will be the top second-year RBs? Last offseason, I wrote that, contrary to what you may have heard, we want to chase efficiency at the RB position. Specifically, rookie-year efficiency appears to be a sign of good things to come. It turns out…...
It’s common for fantasy owners to target high scoring, high powered offenses. Even though bad teams can provide fantasy relevance, it often doesn’t extend past a few key players. The top passing attacks like the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are perfect examples of teams with ample fantasy assets. Run-heavy teams are great targets as well. However, the dreaded running back by committee…...
Shawn Siegele breaks down the 10 most undervalued redraft options and provides the top breakouts, bouncebacks, and Zero RB candidates for 2020. Writing the 10 Most Undervalued Players in Dynasty Startups was a blast. When I’m reading my favorite writers, I want to know which guys they’re targeting. It’s why Curtis Patrick’s Must-Draft RBs was so much fun. It’s why Matt Wispe’s 8 Late-Round Picks…...
The late-round quarterback strategy is the norm today, so I won’t recap it much. In short, choosing to wait at quarterback allows us to take another impact player at a more valuable position. However, this decision comes at a cost. We don’t have the privilege of starting Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes every week. Instead, our goal is to hit on a later-round guy in…...
The final few rounds of best ball drafts are rarely exciting. You’re often left picking between third or fourth receivers, unproven players in tough situations, and handcuff running backs with no standalone value. Admittedly, very few of these picks ever turn out, and most of the time it won’t have any serious impact on your roster. However, among this seemingly lackluster pool of pass catchers…...
