The Oregon Ducks do not have a great history of contributing NFL talent at the quarterback position. The list of relevant contributors begins with Dan Fouts and the remaining names are journeymen such as A.J. Feely and Kellen Clemens, and draft day busts like Akili Smith and Joey Harrington. Marcus Mariota still has his truthers, but we are a dying breed. This backdrop raises a…...

On December 23, the Central Florida Knights defeated Marshall in the Gasparilla Bowl. Their top WR Gabriel Davis announced his decision to forego his final season and join the 2020 NFL Draft at the beginning of December and chose to sit out this bowl game. Background Davis was a three-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He was graded as the 268th best WR…...

With the 2019 regular season in the books, it’s time to start building your list of 2020 dynasty acquisition targets. Shawn Siegele looks at the key traits that bounceback wide receivers have in common and locates the top candidates for 2020. It’s never too early to start preparing for 2020, especially in leagues where trades are already unlocked. Last week we examined 15 potential breakout…...

Hunter Bryant is one of the best young tight ends in the nation. His 2019 success in concert with his athletic gifts no doubt played a part in his deciding to enter the draft in 2020. Bryant’s skills and pedigree will make him one of the top prospects at his position. BACKGROUND Bryant was born in Issaquah, Washington and attended Eastside Catholic High School in…...

With the 2019 regular season wrapped up and our 2020 prospect coverage in full swing, the arrival of a new year offers an opportunity to look forward and look back. It provides a chance to play with the past. What would 2019 rookie drafts look like if they took place today? The RotoViz dynasty crew had some serious hits back in May. We were much…...

The FFPC Playoff Challenge is a contest playoff tournament with 6,500 teams and over $1.1 million in prizes and a $500,000 grand prize. The rules of the contest are simple — as you can see in Hasan Rahim’s 2018 write up: There is no draft, each owner simply selects a roster of 10 players (1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 2-Flex, 1-K, 1-D; Flex can be RB, WR…...

On December 21, Antonio Gandy-Golden and Liberty defeated Georgia Southern 23 to 16 in the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl. Liberty joined the FBS in 2018 and Gandy-Golden proved in those two seasons that he would remain productive even with the step up in competition. Background Gandy-Golden was an unheralded prospect. He wasn’t ranked by 247Sports and he was only ranked as a two-star prospect by Rivals…....

There’s far more to Henry Ruggs III than what his statistics will tell you on paper. The “third receiver” on the Alabama Crimson Tide is quite certainly one of the most intriguing prospects in the entire 2020 NFL Draft class. But is there more to his game than simply speed? Let’s dive in. Speed from the Beginning Like many other gifted NFL Draft prospects, Ruggs…...

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the performance of running backs who were drafted in Rounds 3 through 6 of best ball drafts — also known as the “RB Dead Zone” — and found that the 2019 group scored 29.2% more fantasy points than the 2015-18 average. However, despite posting such high point totals, the average win rate for these RBs was…...

Jonathan Taylor has been a hot devy item for two full seasons now, and it is highly likely the time has finally come for him to make his much anticipated graduation to the NFL. While it is more than likely Taylor will be playing on Sundays next season, we will get one more opportunity to watch him play in a Badgers uniform. Wisconsin plays Oregon…...

Now that the 2019 regular season is in the books, Shawn Siegele utilizes a quick hack and the RotoViz Screener to locate 15 breakout wide receiver candidates for 2020. Each offseason I write an in-depth series on the characteristics of breakout players. Receivers with different experience levels break out at different rates, to different scores, and for different reasons. It hurts our chances to select the…...

Last July, I wrote an article about the running back dead zone — basically, RBs picked in Rounds 3 through 6 have busted at incredible rates since 2015. That article — along with several others which had similar findings — fundamentally changed my strategy in best ball drafts. Oops.[1]Maybe. Leonard Fournette, Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Mark Ingram, and James White (just…...

If Brycen Hopkins needs any help in how to deal with the pressures of being a top draft prospect, he only needs to turn to his family for advice. Hopkins’s father, Brad Hopkins, was a first-round selection by the Houston Oilers in the 1993 NFL Draft. Hopkins Sr. played 13 seasons in the NFL, earning two Pro Bowl nods as well as an All-Pro berth…...

A top 2020 NFL wide receiver prospect, Jerry Jeudy is sure to be coveted in dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts, too. How does his profile measure up when considering RotoViz’s extensive work on indicators of future fantasy success? Let’s explore. As a Recruit Jeudy has been a household name in devy fantasy football circles since February 2017 when he signed with Alabama as a five-star recruit…...

When I’m looking into the DFS slate each week, I like to go game by game and identify players or situations that intrigue me. In every game, on every team, there’s a situation that’s relevant for DFS purposes, for either a positive or negative reason. These situations inform us of how we should be attacking each slate. Arizona Cardinals Spread: +7 @ Los Angeles Rams…...

The Fantasy Football Ghost helps us close out the regular season with his picks for FanDuel cash lineups in Week 17 Week 17 is traditionally one of the most difficult weeks to forecast as playoff bound teams sit their starting players and non-playoff teams up their game in an attempt to play spoiler. Part of the difficultly revolves around trying to determine if a playoff…...

As is the case with Week 17 historically, teams locked into the playoffs with little or nothing to gain from a Week 17 win will often be cautious with their key players. This is already reported to be the case with the Bills this week. We could also see the Vikings and/or Texans take this route as well. There is also the possibility of non-playoff…...
