Draft This Backfield Dominator: 3 Bengals Deep Sleepers
Cort Smith
July 19, 2019
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…...
Wide Receiver Is the New Running Back: Redraft Strategy for the Passing Revolution, Part 7
Ryan Collinsworth
July 19, 2019
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. In Part 6, I looked at some holistic trends for the wide receiver position. Ironically, the passing revolution seems to have had a negative overall effect on wide receivers’ efficiency due to the swelling number of receivers deployed across the…...
The Titans Are Going To Ride Derrick Henry, But Is That Enough to Remove Him From the All-Trap Team?
Shawn Siegele
July 18, 2019
Derrick Henry’s star went supernova in the 2018 playoffs. Over Weeks 14 and 15, he totaled more than 400 yards and scored six touchdowns. With a solid Week 16 performance, he notched 94 fantasy points in the playoffs, the 13th-best playoff total since the turn of the century, and one of only six 90-plus performances this decade. It comes as no surprise that new offensive…...
You Must Choose a Side in the WR1 Debate: Redraft Strategy for the Passing Revolution, Part 6
Ryan Collinsworth
July 18, 2019
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. In Parts 2-4, I covered the running back position in detail. Then, in Part 5, I addressed the tight end position. In each of my preceding articles, I’ve emphasized the importance of targeting elite pass-catching RB1s and elite tight ends…...
5 Wide Receivers Primed to Score More in 2019: Positive Touchdown Regression
Michael Dubner
July 18, 2019
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. Every year there are outliers who catch touchdowns at a higher or lower rate than one would expect based on their targets and yards in that season. Perception about a player’s ability to score touchdowns — and…...

4 Late-Round Sleepers to Supercharge Your Fantasy Team
Larry Weinhauer
July 17, 2019
Yesterday we looked at players who are undervalued in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts. Today I will examine players you can pick up in the later rounds to supercharge your team. Dede Westbrook Westbrook was Jacksonville’s leading receiver last year. The WR room is basically the same and the Jaguars didn’t take a WR in the draft, which shows they are content with what…...
DRAFT Best Ball: Want to Post a Quick 15% Win Rate? The Roster Construction Explorer Reacts to An Expert Mock
Shawn Siegele
July 16, 2019
At the invitation of former RotoViz star Ben Gretch, I recently participated in a CBS best ball mock with DRAFT settings. The draft was a blast, as you would expect with Ben, Heath Cummings, current RotoViz contributors like Mike Beers and T.J. Calkins, as well as former contributors and friends of the site like Davis Mattek and Josh ADHD. With such a star-studded cast of…...
“Early-TE” Should Be the New Fantasy Niche of 2019: Redraft Strategy for the Passing Revolution, Part 5
Ryan Collinsworth
July 16, 2019
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. In Parts 2-4, I examined modern archetypes for fantasy RB1s, RB2s and RB3s and highlighted 2019 rookies who fit those paradigms. Now, it’s time to move on from running back and instead focus on the tight end position. Be sure…...
NFL University: Which College Program Has Produced the Most NFL Studs?
Travis May
July 16, 2019
Every year there seems to be some argument as to what universities are “WR U,” “RB U,” or “Insert Position X Here U,” but is there really something worth paying attention to here? Do the same schools tend to produce top talent at certain positions year after year? And what would that mean for devy and dynasty fantasy football strategy? That’s the topic I’ll be…...
When The Devy Breaks: 2019 Big-12 Opportunity Report
Jordan Hoover
July 16, 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…...

Larry Weinhauer
July 16, 2019
Any experienced fantasy manager can draft the first two to three rounds of your fantasy draft. Obviously some picks are better than others, but the same basic 36 players will be drafted in the first three rounds, in some order.

The RotoViz Apps See a Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Jones, James Conner Chimera In This Trendy Sleeper
Shawn Siegele
July 16, 2019
Things move quickly at the running back position. Values shift in an instant. While elite wide receivers can actually benefit from the presence of other star WRs on the roster, backs need more of the spotlight to themselves in order to run up those dual-threat snap counts. This is what makes the two positions so fundamentally different in fantasy. It’s this tendency for the big…...
Lamar Jackson is the Konami Code Poster Child and a Screaming Best Ball Value
Jack Miller
July 15, 2019
Last year, Lamar Jackson broke the record for rushing attempts in a season by a quarterback. He started seven games. After Joe Flacco went down with a hip injury, Jackson averaged the seventh-most fantasy points per game among quarterbacks. He also averaged the ninth-most rushing attempts per game, 10th-most rushing yards per game, and 12th-most rushing fantasy points per game in the entire NFL over…...

What if Melvin Gordon Misses Games? Solving the Chargers Backfield Using the RotoViz Game Splits App
Curtis Patrick
July 15, 2019
Melvin Gordon has been a fantasy football godsend for the past several seasons. Having reinforced his ceiling with some of the best receiving production among NFL RBs since 2017, assuming health and availability he’s a no-brainer elite investment in fantasy drafts for 2019. But Gordon recently shared that he won’t be showing up for training camp without a new deal. Threatening to miss training camp…...

Michael Dubner
July 15, 2019
Michael Dubner looks at how we can use the Zero RB fantasy football draft strategy in the NFL DRAFT Best Ball Championship tournament. It’s been nearly six years since RotoViz’s Shawn Siegele penned the ground-breaking article “Zero RB, Antifragility, and the Myth of Value Based Drafting.” Despite the re-emergence of workhorse RBs, Zero RB is still thriving. While Zero RB may be effective in traditional…...
