5 Wide Receivers Primed to Score More in 2019: Positive Touchdown Regression

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.

2 Rookie Speed Score Freaks Who Could Have an Immediate Impact: Jacksonville Jaguars Deep Sleepers

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,…...

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.

DRAFT Best Ball: Want to Post a Quick 15% Win Rate? The Roster Construction Explorer Reacts to An Expert Mock

At the invitation of former RotoViz star Ben Gretch, I recently participated in a CBS best ball mock with DRAFT settings.

“Early-TE” Should Be the New Fantasy Niche of 2019: Redraft Strategy for the Passing Revolution, Part 5

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.

NFL University: Which College Program Has Produced the Most NFL Studs?

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

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…...

The RotoViz Apps See a Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Jones, James Conner Chimera In This Trendy Sleeper

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

Last year, Lamar Jackson broke the record for rushing attempts in a season by a quarterback. He started seven games.

3 Non-Power-5 Devy Wide Receivers to Target

In devy leagues, Power-5 schools produce many of the top assets, and generally that makes perfect sense.

Meanwhile, Doug Pederson, Andy Reid disciple and second-year head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, led his team to a 41-33 Super Bowl victory over the Patriots.
