Zero RB Quietly Posted a 14% Win Rate In 2018 and All of the Conditions Are In Place Again for 2019
Shawn Siegele
July 31, 2019
Everyone knows about the RB Apocalypse in 2015. First-round running backs averaged 29 points below replacement that season. That wasn’t the case at all in 2018. Four first-rounders scored more than 300 points, and the group averaged 69 points above replacement even with Le’Veon Bell’s bagel. On the surface, these two years couldn’t be any more different, and yet a weird thing happens when we…...

Most fantasy analysis is devoted to sorting the order of players likely to have an immediate impact, but every year there are a handful of overlooked deep sleepers who emerge to fill a starting role in redraft. Last year, it was guys like Phillip Lindsay and James Conner at running back. Deep sleepers at WR are a little harder to find, but we did tell you to watch out for Curtis Samuel,…...

How to Prevent Your Dynasty Team from Getting Old
Tyler Loechner
July 30, 2019
Youth is one of the key variables in building a successful dynasty fantasy football team, but how do you know when your team is getting too old, and what strategy can you apply to get a leg up on the competition? For skill positions, the production window is short and the time to buy ahead of a production (and trade value) increase typically occurs earlier…...

When The Devy Breaks: 2019 SEC Opportunity Report
Jordan Hoover
July 30, 2019
Opportunity is the most important factor to consider when analyzing fantasy football. Whether it’s at the NFL level or in college, the more pass attempts, carries, and targets that a player gets, the better. It’s far from an exact science. But last year’s opportunity reports highlighted the likes of Eno Benjamin, Jalen Reagor, Hakeem Butler, and Miles Sanders as targets in devy leagues set to…...
This Cheap, Young Vet With Locked-In Targets Is a Dead Ringer for Parris Campbell and Mecole Hardman
Shawn Siegele
July 29, 2019
Mecole Hardman and Parris Campbell were cult favorites heading into the 2019 NFL draft. But when they landed in the second round to Kansas City and Indianapolis, the fantasy community truly fell in love. The two speedsters were suddenly set to spend their careers lassoing lasers from Patrick Mahomes and Andrew Luck. For most of the summer they stayed well ahead of Andy Isabella and…...

How to Avoid RB Land Mines: 9 Traits to Sidestep Early, Plus 10 Backs to Target
Shawn Siegele
July 26, 2019
Zero RB quietly posted a 14% win rate in 2018. Meanwhile, RBs drafted in Rounds 3 and 4 won at absurdly low rates and the position accounted for the seven worst individual-player win rates of anyone drafted in the first four rounds. The simple solution is to just avoid drafting RBs in that area. But what if you don’t want the simple solution? If we…...

Which College Produces the Most Top NFL Quarterbacks? NFL University: QB U
Travis May
July 26, 2019
Welcome to the “QB U” edition of the NFL University series. If you’ve been following along we’ve already covered the true “NFL University” in Miami (FL), but many teams are closing in quick. The Ohio State University has shown to be “WR U” dating back to the late 1990s. And most recently we covered Miami’s dominance (again) as the true “RB U.” But of course…...
2019 RotoViz Projections: 2 Late Round QBs that Will Be Weekly Starters
Dave Caban
July 26, 2019
In many leagues, waiting until the later rounds of the draft to select a quarterback is a sound strategy. A major reason for this is the slim margin separating the QB7 and the QB14, for example, in fantasy points scored and the requirement that only one QB be started. In 2018, Jared Goff scored 310 points as the QB7. Tom Brady, who finished as QB14,…...
One Rookie RB Is Starting to Look Like the 2019 Nick Chubb, And It’s Not Who You Might Think
Shawn Siegele
July 25, 2019
Last season, Nick Chubb’s ADP fell consistently throughout draft season as it became clear that Carlos Hyde was going to begin the season as the starter. Chubb wasn’t even the second Cleveland running back selected, as drafters assumed the Browns would continue to deploy their ace receiving back, Duke Johnson. Chubb appeared to get lucky. Cleveland eventually traded Hyde, and Chubb performed well enough to…...

College Receiving Production Analysis: Adjusted Production Index of Top Devy WRs
Travis May
July 25, 2019
In case you missed the introduction of the Adjusted Production Index in May, it turns out that peak collegiate production can be quite predictive of NFL success for wide receivers. Practically speaking the Adjusted Production Index looks a wide receiver’s production profile from three angles. First is peak dominator rating. Can a player demand and account for a large percentage of their team’s receiving offense?…...
