Thanks to the tools of best-ball guru Mike Beers, the 2019 Best Ball Workshop returned impressive win rates at every position. As we move into Lesson 2 of the 2020 Workshop, Shawn Siegele uses the Roster Construction Explorer to help you dominate your league again at the TE position. In Lesson 1, we examined the QB position and located a key hack that provided owners…...
A lot of digital ink has been spilled musing about what the deal is with Mike Williams. Just days after he Williams was drafted we were already wondering about the future of Keenan Allen. One year later and after an injury-plagued rookie season, Shawn Siegele kept buying him. Fast-forward to last August and we were giving Williams the highest of potential floors. Just this past…...
We have kept you waiting for this during our rookie review series. But wait no longer, gentle reader, for our first tight end review is finally here. Denver Broncos rookie Noah Fant is the first of his position to come under our microscope, and reviewing his rookie campaign certainly makes for interesting reading. For those in need of a reminder, Fant was one of the…...
Fantasy owners should always be in win-now mode. A recent pet peeve of mine has been hearing owners talk about going all in and selling future assets to try to win a title. On the other hand, some owners speak about playing the long game of rebuilding by selling studs to acquire future capital. Yes, both can work. Sometimes your roster is limited by injuries,…...
It’s safe to say no one predicted Allen Lazard’s second season given just what he did as an undrafted rookie in 2018. Lazard played exactly one game — one snap, actually — for the Packers in 2018. He was targeted by DeShone Kizer, caught the pass, and gained 7 yards. That’s some efficiency right there! Jokes aside, Lazard’s “real” debut-season took place in 2019 as…...
D.K. Metcalf‘s fall to the end of the second round was one of the biggest surprises of the 2019 NFL Draft. Early in the offseason, he was projected to be one of the first wide receivers off the board in late April, but concerns about his route-running versatility and agility caused his stock to tumble. In a touching YouTube video posted by the Seahawks that…...
High-variance, volatile football players, the Will Fullers and Amari Coopers of our day, the risky bets — we all know those players, and most of all we all know about what they can do — for good and for bad. When was the last time you trusted Will Fuller or Amari Cooper to go off the charts and they let you down? You probably don’t…...
How do you properly evaluate a rookie when there’s not much to assess? Enter Parris Campbell. Everything was set for a promising rookie season: Andrew Luck at quarterback Solid combine performance Second-round draft capital We all know how the quarterback situation changed. Couple that with a string of injuries that included a sports hernia, a hamstring injury, a broken hand, and a broken foot, and the…...
With startup drafts in full swing and the NFL combine right around the corner, there’s no better time for a 2020 dynasty top 150. Shawn Siegele breaks his rankings into tiers and provides insight into superflex tactics and early rookie picks. As we head toward the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, I’ll be counting up my dynasty rankings from 1 to 150. Rookies make their debut…....
Two years in the NFL, two years outside of the top-50 best wide receivers in fantasy football. That’s the quickest of ways I can think of to give you an overly simplified summary of what Anthony Miller’s career has been up to the end of the 2019 season. It’s not pretty and gets less so when you consider he will be playing his third season…...
I remember the hot days of August. Actually, I miss them. They can’t get back soon enough. This past summer, most fantasy owners were anticipating their drafts while having a very clear name in their minds when it came to the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver position: Dante Pettis. As a second-year player and after finishing his rookie season posting more than 13 PPR in…...
The RotoViz Best Ball Workshop uses intelligence from the Roster Construction Explorer to beat your competitors at every position. Did the lessons lead to success last year? Why are drafters still not utilizing one of the three key pillars to QB selection? Just how much can you boost your win rate with a counterintuitive hack? Shawn Siegele has the answers in the debut of the…...
Exceptions to the norm tend to throw people off their game. Take Phillip Lindsay, for example. The undrafted running back from Colorado became the first undrafted offensive rookie to be selected to the Pro Bowl. He also became the first undrafted running back to break the 1,000-yard rushing mark in back-to-back seasons. Talk about a difficult player to appropriately evaluate. Another player who is primed…...
The other quarterbacks I’ve reviewed so far in this series all came into the NFL with a high pedigree. They were first-round draft picks after all. This player went much later in the proceedings. Yet in his way, he was perhaps the most exciting of all the first-year signal-callers. Let’s look back at the rookie year of Gardner Minshew. By The Numbers Minshew started 12…...
As much as I love Hunter Renfrow these days (it took time for me to get there, believe me), I can’t lie to you in assessing his rookie season. Renfrow was a good first-year wide receiver, but he was far from a world-beater. In fact, Renfrow (133.5) couldn’t even beat his teammate Tyrell Williams (143.1) for the most PPR points in the season, even playing…...
Trying to identify the next long-term WR2 in Pittsburgh is a fun offseason exercise. JuJu Smith-Schuster will regain control of the WR1 role with a presumable clean bill of health as well as the hopeful return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. But two intriguing candidates are vying to play opposite Smith-Schuster in what could once again be an explosive Steelers offense. Let’s take a deeper dive…...
The latest player to fall under our curious gaze in our rookie review series was the third quarterback taken in the 2019 NFL Draft. Washington spent the 15th overall selection on Ohio State signal-caller Dwayne Haskins. I’m betraying no oaths when I say that Haskins did not exactly take the NFL by storm in his first year. But he is not fully to blame for…...
There is nothing official — at least at the time of this writing — regarding David Johnson’s future (or lack of it) as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. Johnson, in fact, is in the middle of one of the most lucrative contracts in the NFL after signing a three-year extension to become the face of Arizona back in 2018 in a deal that would…...
Continuing our look back on the 2019 rookies, let’s take a look at the New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. His selection was not without controversy or even outright debate. But regardless of whether the Giants should have taken their signal-caller in 2018 or not, they got Jones. Let’s break it down. By The Numbers Despite claims that he could spend his entire rookie season…...
Shawn Siegele looks at the RB Prospect Lab rankings for the top-10 backs from the first edition of the Dynasty Command Center 2020 Rookie Guide. Long-time readers know the RB Prospect Lab has always been one of my favorite apps. The updated tool from Mike Beers was re-released this week with a ton of new features. First, you can build your own model and test…...
