NOTE: Our tools will be updated each week as soon as data from our stats provider is available. Generally, data from Sunday’s games will be available early Tuesday afternoon. For an immediate look at the games from the previous weekend, please check out our Monday Review tool which includes a collection of preliminary stats.

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…...

From 2001 to 2013, fantasy owners watched as 19 third-year wide receivers hit 200 points for the first time. Over the following four years, only Davante Adams managed the feat, and buzz over the third-year WR breakout disappeared. Even during the earlier era, second-year receivers still held a sizable edge. They’ve now widened that lead considerably as NFL offenses scheme to unleash their highly-drafted stars…...

It’s here. Dread it. Run from it. It still arrives. Of course, I am talking about the Tight End Renaissance (as some have called it). For years, the tight end position has been dominated by one or two names at the top. Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, the like. That changed last year. George Kittle broke the wall, finishing as the TE3 in PPR…...

Shawn Siegele looks at the eight most explosive NFL “breather” backs and explains how to exploit their sometimes silly, occasionally ridiculous, and always crazy 2019 ADPs. I have an admission to make. I love the small backs, and I love the freakish athletes. I love run to daylight and have little interest in three yards and a cloud of dust. But, even more than how…...

If you play in the FFPC or any other high-stakes tournament that holds their playoffs in Weeks 12 and 13, you may want to take an extra close look at the teams that are on bye during Week 12 (The first week of league playoffs in most of these formats). Take a look at the list of players below: QB RB WR TE Patrick…...

We are less than a week from the kickoff of the 2019 Scott Fish Bowl (#SFB9). The scoring format is largely unchanged from last year and it still includes a points-per-first-down scoring component and a points-per-reception component. Given the video games theme for #SFB9, Scott Fish has incorporated a bonus scoring component. The added five points for every 50 yards threshold a player crosses will…...

There’s EV to be gained by reading between the ADPs in fantasy football. Last week, we used a gap methodology created by Charlie Kleinheksel to identify some of the best running back values for 2019. Check out my most recent piece for a look at the RB buckets generated from using that methodology in 2019. The takeaway is that we want to be targeting S2…...

Scott Fish Bowl 9 drafts are just days away. Unless you already play in another “half-PPR, half-point per first down, TE-premium, three flex, one superflex, achievement bonus league,” chances are you might be underprepared. Luckily, you can get a quick handle on how to approach your draft using our new (and free!) SFB9 Game Log Explorer app. One of the first questions worth answering is…...

A couple of days ago we used the Roster Construction Explorer to find the best time to use Zero RB in best ball drafts. As our level of information changes, it can have an impact on some of our draft strategies. Zero RB is one such approach. It’s been dominant during one half of draft season and flutters out of bounds like a Brady Quinn…...

To this point in the Best Ball Workshop, we’ve broken down the key tactics at every position, looked at the player selections that best fit dominant strategies, and synthesized our analysis with 7 Hacks to Win Your BestBall10s. Today, we dive into the calendar and look at whether some approaches work better at different times of the year. One of the many terrific features of…...

The article below is part of a series exploring downside possibilities for the top players in dynasty. This series is designed to be a thought experiment about what might go wrong for the top players in dynasty, with the goal of rounding out our expectations and better preparing us for the season to come. We’ll do this by looking at a player who was being…...

If you’re a long-time reader of RotoViz, you’re very familiar with the Zero-running-back draft strategy. In short, finding high upside RBs at a low price while stockpiling proven receivers in the early rounds is the main goal. And with his position on the depth chart and a late-round average draft position, Ito Smith is a great target. As a Prospect Several Rotoviz writers identified Smith…...

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…...

Shawn Siegele deploys the RotoViz Screener to provide all the key stats on fourth-year breakouts at the wide receiver position. Fantasy leagues are won by rostering breakout players. This is also makes these players an obvious trap. How much sense does it make to go through your draft selecting players who haven’t been productive? In 20 Rounds of Death, I detailed each of my 20…...

This article is part of a series on dynasty WRs looking at the RotoViz redraft rankings and asking “what if we’re right?”[1]I’m using the royal we here since I don’t actually contribute to our rankings. Many thanks to our redraft rankers: Blair Andrews, Curtis Patrick, Dave Caban, Hasan Rahim, Monty Phan and Shawn Siegele. After all, our rankings are trying to determine the most likely outcome…...

We previously found that it may be best to wait until August to enter the NFL DRAFT Best Ball Championship, but there are some benefits to drafting at the beginning of the offseason. Teams that draft in August tend to post higher average scores. However, teams that draft earlier in the offseason can take advantage of facing opponents with lower scores, which may help you get…...

There’s EV to be gained by reading between the ADPs in fantasy football. In this piece, I’ll be following up on some work done by RotoViz O.G. Charlie Kleinheksel in recent years which uses gaps in same-team RBs to identify both expensive fades and late-round buys at the position. He first explored the idea of using ADP to sort RBs into four types back in…...

Over the course of 11 lessons in the Best Ball Workshop, we examined the key tactics at every position and used the Fanball Roster Construction Explorer to locate exploitable opportunities in all areas of your draft. Today, we’ll look at seven of the most important takeaways from the workshops. For readers who have scoured the lessons in detail, this blueprint will help you synthesize those…...

John Ursua’s is a name we haven’t talked about much throughout prospect season. But after Seattle head coach Pete Carroll mentioned him as someone who could see snaps in the slot, he warrants a longer look. Does the seventh-round pick out of Hawaii sport the profile of someone who can contribute in his rookie year? “He started to feel comfortable and show us the kind…...

Shawn Siegele provides all the key stats you need to know about fifth-year breakouts at the wide receiver position. Fantasy leagues are won by rostering breakout players, but it’s obviously not as simple as going through your draft and selecting players who haven’t been productive to that point. Reaching for unproductive players and being overweight on trendy breakout candidates is a quick ticket to last…...
