A common discussion in the dynasty community revolves around the ages of players. It’s nice to have a foundation of youth to keep your team competitive each year, but you still need those veteran players with solidified roles to put up consistent points on Sundays. Despite the debate surrounding “age cliffs” for specific players, there are players each year who both surprise and disappoint us…....

The fantasy community yearns for consistency and predictability. We like knowing our players have defined roles on their respective teams. The running backs are locked in for three-down roles, the wide receivers accrue a large weekly target share, and the tight ends are more than just run blockers. Unpredictability is another issue altogether. This is where fantasy owners are with Keenan Allen. For the first…...

Trading away good players is hard enough. It’s nearly impossible to trade away a player who returned such value on investment that he was being considered a league-winner. Enter Darren Waller. Turn back the clock a year, and Waller was coming off of his fourth straight underwhelming year in the league. Through those four years, he totaled 29 targets, 18 receptions, 178 yards, and two…...

Scouting reports are a quick way to get a sense of a player’s characteristics, what he does well, where he struggles, and the things that NFL teams are likely to assume he needs to work on. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everything we read in a scouting report is accurate. There are certain traits, such as route running ability, that are hard to quantify…...

Initially, I was going to take the seemingly annual run at identifying whether or not Will Fuller was worth the risk this coming season considering his prolific injury history. Then, free agency happened. When the Houston Texans traded away DeAndre Hopkins and his 150 targets from 2019 to the Arizona Cardinals, the entire fantasy football community was shaken to its core. While there will likely…...

In the age of “buying low” on some players, fantasy owners shouldn’t be afraid to pivot and “buy high” on other players. This doesn’t mean breaking the bank for Patrick Mahomes in a single quarterback league or selling the farm for Christian McCaffrey. It does mean being okay paying for talented players who can help you win matchups and championships. Acquiring youth and building for…...

He examines all of his options in Superflex, TE Premium, and Classic formats. As we put the final touches on Volume 2 of the Dynasty Command Center Rookie Guide, I wanted to evaluate my picks in each of our mocks. The DCC Rookie Guide provides…...

At RotoViz, we like our NFL Draft Prospects to be precocious — producing early and at a young age. As a result, age is an important part of our prospect evaluation process. Of course, collecting every prospect’s date of birth and calculating their age can be a time-consuming endeavor. To make things easier for our readers, we’ve annually published a Draft Prospect Age Database. 2020’s…...
