If you spend any time reading RotoViz, eventually you’ll hear us talking about expected points. Expected points (EP) are the number of fantasy points that a target or carry should score based on game situation — down, distance, and field position. In other words, expected points allow us to transform raw opportunity, such as carries and targets, directly into fantasy points. From there we can…...

I’ll admit, I was not overly hopeful about the streaming options going into Week 3. On the whole, I was not disappointed about not being disappointed. Jason Witten finished as the TE18 with an underwhelming 8.4 PPR points. Tyler Eifert averaged a whopping 18 yards per reception … but only had one reception. The saving grace was Will Dissly, who finished as the TE6 on…...

We are back again to showcase the wide receivers that saw the most targets in the past week of NFL action. Fifteen WRs commanded at least 10 targets in Week 3, which is down from 21 players in Week 1 and 16 players last week. Here’s the full list of target leaders. Double-Digit Targets in Week 3 QUICK THOUGHTS Still No Davante? Davante Adams’ continued…...

Saquon Barkley is my main man in my most important home league. It is a keeper league and I have a stacked team beyond him as well, with Michael Thomas, Davante Adams, and Deshaun Watson. This team is 0-3. I am not happy. I am worried, but I will not panic. The reality is that the season is not over, and making the playoffs is…...

Waiver Wire Dumpster Dives takes you beyond the obvious plays and helps you find undervalued gems for deep leagues. Let’s talk transparency. Last week’s Dumpster Dives were a bit of a mixed bag. Virgil Green goose-egged. Raheem Mostert had another incredible day on the ground, averaging 6.6 yards-per-carry. But he didn’t record any receptions, limiting his Week 3 production. And I just hope to find someone…...

Week 3 of the NFL season is in the books, and some players are starting to show their true colors. Who should we start to worry about and should we be patient with? This is The Good, the Bad, and the Oh So Ugly from Week 3. The Good: 1) The entire Kansas City Chiefs offense is a beautiful thing to watch. The Chiefs put…...

Mike Evans caught eight passes for 190 yards and three scores in Week 3, leading the wide receiver position with 45 fantasy points. Keenan Allen wasn’t far behind with 13 receptions for 183 yards and two touchdowns. The mega-stars combined for 32 targets, but they also managed to outperform their volume. Evans ranked No. 1 in fantasy points over expectation (FPOE), while Allen finished in…...

There’s been a nearly overwhelming amount of developing injury news throughout this week. My general advice for the teams with questionable quarterbacking is downgrade everyone on those teams that isn’t a clear cut No. 1 option. But in the midst of so much uncertainty, let’s focus on buying the under-reaction and selling the over-reaction through two weeks. QUARTERBACK With so many teams scrambling to replace…...

Drew Brees, New Orlean’s future Hall of Fame quarterback, tore a ligament on his throwing thumb. In layman’s terms this injury is known as ‘Skier’s Thumb,’ as it’s the No. 1 injury from skiing. This happens when you wear pole straps and the pole jams against your thumb. So, when skiing, it’s not a bad idea to not wear pole straps to decrease the incidence…...
