NOTE: Our tools will be updated each week as soon as data from our stats provider is available. Generally, data from Sunday’s games will be available early Tuesday afternoon. 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.

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…...

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 numerous prospects out as far as the 2024 NFL Draft! Don’t think that’s possible? Dive into…...

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…....

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...
