Depth-Adjusted Efficiency — 2016’s Best and Worst

Yesterday I showed which players were 2016’s most- and least- efficient pass catchers from the perspective of yards per target over expectation (YPTOE). YPTOE situationally adjusted a player’s efficiency based on down, distance, and yard line. Today, I will depth-adjust those numbers, because not all passing depths are created equal….

Finding Value: The 2017 Ted Ginn Story

When Brandin Cooks was traded to the Patriots, a clear role was opened up within the Saints offense and “coincidentally,” in the weeks prior to the trade, they had signed a wide receiver fully capable of filling the Cooks void, Ted Ginn….

Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays of the Day for March 29th

We’re heading toward the end of the regular season, and as teams start to get ready for the playoffs, they’ll be incentivized to go all out for the win to move up in the playoff seeding. Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, they may feel confident in their position and decide it’s more important that their players are healthy and sit players. As…...

Which Players Had the Best Receiving Efficiency in 2016?

Last offseason I introduced my metrics YPCOE and YPTOE, which stand for Yards Per Carry/Target Over Expectation respectively. I used them to identify season-long regression candidates for rushing and receiving efficiency, and it successfully identified Davante Adams and Dez Bryant as bounce-back candidates, while also correctly identifying Tyler Lockett and Sammy Watkins as players likely to regress….

K.D. Cannon – Worth a Shot in Dynasty Leagues?

There are a whole host of wide receivers expected to go early in next month’s NFL Draft, but why should they get all the attention? I am prepared and willing to be the voice for the late round guys, a role made easy for me thanks to my supporting some true sporting underdogs…though not always by choice. This time out, I’d like to introduce K.D…....

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays of the Day Tuesday, March 28th

This is shaping up to be one of the better NBA slates of the year. There are eight games on the DraftKings main slate, while FanDuel has all ten games incorporated into its main slate.

Visualizing Market Share And Age: 2017 Wide Receivers, Summary View

Market share and player age are very important factors to consider when projecting wide receivers from college to the NFL. RotoViz has done some great work highlighting the importance of these pieces of information on a prospect’s outlook as a pro (see Kevin Cole’s work using decision trees and Jon Moore’s articles on market share and age). In that spirit, I’m going to take a look…...

To Gronk, or not to Gronk?

It’s late March, and the RotoViz crew got together to do some spring cleaning at headquarters. Naturally conversation turned to everyone’s favorite red-blooded American tight end: Rob Gronkowski. Gronk is currently going off the board at the end of the second round in both MFL10 redraft leagues and dynasty start-ups. Is he worth it? Jacob Rickrode GRONK in all formats. For his career, Rob Gronkowski is averaging…...

We have roughly a month until the 2017 NFL draft, when we will learn where our favorite (or not so favorite) prospects will land this coming season.

NBA DFS Value Plays – March 27th, 2017

Tonight’s slate is one of the ugliest ones in recent memory.
