Last year I found that while it may be difficult to project touchdowns year-over-year, touchdowns usually regress to the mean based on a wide receiver’s targets and receiving yards. Most analysts just use receiving yards to regress touchdowns, so finding that there is signal with adding targets was novel.((And it was interesting to see that targets are actually negatively correlated with touchdowns, given the same…...
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,…...
I’ve played a significant role in our projection building for a number of years and have grown to truly appreciate the process. I recently completed my set of 2019 projections which you can find here. The process has become a key part of my offseason preparation as it helps me to better understand a player’s range of outcomes, the key inputs that will shape his…...

In part 1 of this series, we concluded that rookies drafted outside of Round 3 of the NFL draft have very low odds of being “usable” in redraft leagues. In the overwhelming majority of cases, they should be avoided on draft day. As a reminder, a usable player is one who scored 160 or more PPR points over the course of their rookie season. Even…...
From 2001 to 2018, 34 wide receivers hit 200 points for the first time. If you think a rate of almost two a year is impressive, consider this: Since 2010, 22 WRs have broken out during their second years, more than any other breakout class has managed during the entire 18-year window. While fantasy owners used to believe in the third-year WR breakout, savvy owners…...
Raise your hand if your fantasy teams have been victimized by Derrick Henry. Now, take a quick glance around the Twitter-verse. Most hands are up. In 2018 in particular, your shares of Henry hit you hard. You probably drafted him with your third-round pick only to fall victim to inconsistent usage that all but killed your fantasy football team. I’m here to state my last…...

Ronald Jones’ rookie season was not good. It’s hard to express just how bad it wa … Oops, no I’ve got it. His rookie season was worse than the final season of Game of Thrones. It was worse than the series finale of Dexter. It was worse than those final 30 minutes of Battlestar Galactica. It was worse than that last scene in Lost …....

Welcome to the “RB U” edition of the NFL University series. So far we’ve found that Miami has long been the real “NFL University” but is losing ground quickly. Ohio State has proven to be the true “WR U” and doesn’t look that’s going to change for a long time. And now it’s time to tackle running backs. Just over 800 running backs have logged…...
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…...

Welcome to my NFL Passing Revolution series, where I examine how the NFL’s shift towards efficient pass-heavy offenses has affected the landscape of fantasy football. We’ve now arrived at the final installment of this series; and for my final entry in this epic, I’m going to shift gears a bit. For seven straight articles, I’ve analyzed the NFL and fantasy football with a global lens…....
There is legitimate and justified excitement about the Cleveland Browns heading into an NFL season for the first time since the early days of the Bill Clinton presidency. After so many years in the doldrums, one of the NFL’s most storied franchises finally looks to be on the up. The team ended the 2018 campaign on fire, behind the blistering play of their rookie quarterback…...
Welcome to the “WR U” edition of the NFL University series. As we covered in the kickoff article to the series, Miami University or “The U” is aptly nicknamed. They’ve given the NFL more than 30,000 PPR fantasy football points since the year 2000. But what university should truly be given the coveted “WR U” title? That’s where this article comes in. Since the year…...

Shawn Siegele will provide his annual Zero RB candidates and Breakout WR lists later this summer, but today he offers a sneak peak at the players he’s selecting in 2019 drafts, including 27 priority targets. Last year, his priority targets included advice to do whatever it takes to acquire Christian McCaffrey and to select Tyler Boyd in the last round of every draft. As training…...
If you’re a longtime reader of RotoViz, you know how effective Zero RB can be when executed correctly. While best ball drafts don’t grant you the luxury of going to the waiver wire to pick up Phillip Lindsay after Week 1, Shawn Siegele has used the Roster Construction Explorer to demonstrate why it still makes sense to load up on WRs early in best ball…....
We are entering the period of the NFL offseason where rookie drafts have probably finished. Focus now shifts towards redraft leagues, intending to win this year at the forefront of everyone’s minds. But that does not mean that the savvy dynasty owners should be idle. There is never a bad time to acquire good players to supplement your rosters, even if the player in question…...
