Last week Anthony Amico presented some early projections for the upcoming Scott Fish Bowl (#SFB8). To test if the #SFB8 scoring format adversely altered end-of-season rankings on an annual basis, I calculated the final #SFB8 finishes for non-quarterback positions over the past five seasons, using 2018 scoring. Additionally, I tested each position to see if they were at maximum capacity under the #SFB8 rules…. Membership Required You...

The offseason’s trendiest team is the San Francisco 49ers. Their late-season turnaround, powered by the arrival of Jimmy Garoppolo, has drafters expecting big things for the offense in 2018. However, there is some doubt as to who will be the big benefactor at wide receiver — Pierre Garcon or Marquise Goodwin….

Due to the variance in wide receiver touchdowns year-to-year and other stats only weakly predicting next-season receiving TDs, regression can be used to identify wide receivers whose 2017 receiving touchdowns didn’t align with their expected touchdown total….

“So, just how screwed am I?” That’s a question you’re asking yourself if you had been drafting Hunter Henry in your best ball drafts. It’s a question you asked yourself frequently last year if you owned players like Julian Edelman, Spencer Ware, Andrew Luck, or Cameron Meredith. You know your team can overcome an injury if the rest of your guys ball out, but how…...

Opportunity is paramount in fantasy football. Whether it’s redraft, dynasty, or devy, getting an idea of how changing situations may alter the distribution of playing time and production in the upcoming season is important. Now is the time of the year to identify players looking at expanded roles, particularly in devy formats where getting an early jump can pay major dividends…. Membership Required You must...

The Scott Fish Bowl is back again, and that means tons of strategy discussion is on the way here at RotoViz. For those of you who don’t know, the Scott Fish Bowl is a yearly pro-am fantasy league hosted by Scott Fish in an effort to raise money for his charity, Fantasy Cares. It is a terrific cause, and one worth researching regardless of your…...

Marshawn Lynch surprised the league with an abrupt retirement prior to the 2016 season, and then proceeded to surprise again by returning for 2017. During last year’s campaign, Lynch rushed for a respectable 891 yards and seven touchdowns while posting a 4.3 yards-per-carry average. After a disappointing season for Oakland, Jack Del Rio was fired and Jon Gruden was brought in, and with him has…...

Organized Team Activities, or OTA’s, are in full swing in the NFL, as the 32 teams look to see which players will be among their 53-man rosters when the season starts for real in September. This is not the only roster construction activity going on, of course, with the ever-popular best ball leagues filling up and drafting on a daily basis. With this in mind, let’s take…...

You know that feeling when you finally get to take the player you’ve been eyeing up all off-season? That rush of getting “your guy.” You can see your future together, all of the championships you will win, the laughs, the tears. Let that go. Stop caring so much about the players you draft. It’s really hard to draft better than the 11 plus members of…...
