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…...

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,…...

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…...

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…...

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…...
